You wouldn't marry someone just because they're better than your most toxic ex (well, we hope not!).

So why do we have a voting system that keeps forcing us to choose the least worst option?

This #ValentinesDay, let's demand a system that allows us all to vote with our 💘

NEW: Hundreds of judges around the country have ruled more than 4,400 times since October that President Donald Trump’s administration is detaining immigrants unlawfully, a Reuters review of court records found.

The government keeps doing it nonetheless.

It's exactly this. Musk never gets called on the fact that he's been 10 years out from a moon colony for the last 16 years; Republicans never get called on anything; why wouldn't CEOs start testing out this new accountability-free zone and just say whatever's convenient to manipulate the moment?
I work in procurement and our vendors have been rolling out AI systems and... it has been a disaster. The AI gets everything wrong and I have to navigate a labyrinthian telephone menu to get to a human to fix it.

This has big "We'll colonize the moon in 10 years!" Musk energy.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."

Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.

It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

Our latest.
European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women"
The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.

The knee sleeves/braces I got are too big, they just keep sliding out of place. :/

Going to have to try another size. *grumbles*

(I thought I'd need the larger size due to my thick thighs... 8) )
Feeling old. Finally caved in and bought some knee braces. Hope they help. :/

and there it basically is. This is one of the reasons they are trying to force putting your IDs on the internet.

It's incredibly corrosive to the ability of agencies (and society at large) to operate if the executive branch can simply decide to ignore Congress. Having reliable processes is essential to operations of bureaucracies, but Vought et al. don't care. And it's outrageous.

When someone says their country executes pedophiles and you respond by claiming that they are calling for the execution of Donald Trump, you are revealing that you know Donald Trump is a pedophile.

Thank you for you attention to this matter.

I really, really, really hope this isn't true.

We do not support AI generated slop here.

I don't share the videos that are doing the rounds, I don't share those people sharing themselves AI'd into scenes.

AI's a tool, yes, but blatant cost-cutting and artist replacement does not get my support
If this is true then I can't tell you how much it sucks , so so many artistic fans out there would kill to have thier name in the credits of a #StarTrek show and you already have so many fantastic artists working for you .

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

And we have the ON Liberals who wanted to "govern from the right", the ONDP and Greens splitting the left, and a broken electoral system (FPTP)…coupled with a right-wing media dominance effectively saying Conservatives would win, leading to incredibly low turnout.

Perfect storm of dumb. :/

Close elections are not the problem. The problem is a system where thousands of voters can be left without a voice because their party finished second.

In a proportional system, votes across Terrebonne would shape seats. No community’s voice would hinge on a single envelope.
