Thanks for what you do. Between The Rooster and Ohio Capital Journal, it's nice to still have some real news.

Are we sure this is the right Tim Ryan? Reddit seems to think you have him confused with this guy that works at Battelle:

"Today, a man was shot during a debate about mass shootings, and then CNN coverage of that shooting was interrupted by breaking news of a school shooting. Then I saw a proposed moment of silence in Congress devolve into partisan argument."

Thought this was convincing that maybe you shouldn't eat pawpaws, or at least not too many of them:

I hate it here:

Nationwide Children's Hospital ending all gender-affirming care for trans patients by Sept. 26

The hospital will stop prescribing gender-affirming medicines to patients, including those who are over 18 and minors who were receiving care, before a statewide ban on gender-affirming care for minor...

Attempting to rig elections on his behalf.

Turning the military on citizens.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

Jim Hagedorn is an idiot and racist. He was censured by his board for calling a black person on the board the n word. Chris is an even bigger idiot that, is quoted as saying, "the third generation (aka him) kills a company". I'd stay away from SMG stock as long as there is a Hagedorn running it

Fascism hates art. Been true since the Dada movement.

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”

We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words.

➡️ This is what they wrote: projects.propublica.org/impact-of-ho...

Handwritten notecard. Prompt at the top asks: What object was most devastating for you to lose, and how have you been coping? Answer below: Dentures. Were thrown away and coping isn't somthing I can do. It’s made me feel ugly, unworthy, can’t go get a job with no teeth. So how can get off the streets until another pair can be made?
