Children are being exploited and abused because Big Tech consistently prioritizes profits over people.

I've watched every single season of Survivor but I've skipped the reunion for years.
Live reunions are pretty much dead, but I'd love for them to wait until the next morning for the reunion. But that's an extra production day; doing it like this allows CBS to save a day of costs.
And not having the live reunion saves the $10,000 they paid each cast member, never mind travel, etc.

This is maddening. If Merrick Garland hadn’t dragged his feet, Trump would probably be in jail instead of the Oval Office.
BREAKING on MS NOW:

"Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "What I'd like to see from the president is empathy for Americans. Donald Trump is a billionaire and he's the president. When he looks into a camera and says 'affordability is a hoax,' he's talking to Americans that are suffering and have been for many years now."

Not only could we easily ban our most rampant form of lawbreaking — a crime that kills over 12,000 Americans every year — we even have the technology to make it physically impossible.
Yet it's hard to imagine because so many of you out there delight in breaking the law.

My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area.

There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.

As always: fuck Reagan.
Reagan funded and armed death squads, left Americans to die during the AIDS crisis, destroyed the economic tools that built the 20th century, his allies committed treason in 1980 (at the bare minimum, above that Reagan might have been involved) and pioneered "own the libs" politics.

By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus.
