To be shot in the face and still return to protesting against injustice is the height of bravery and dedication.

Paywall

I had neurosurgery to correct brain stem compression. I regained the ability to walk without weakness and tremors and to function in general.

I had to fight my insurance company for months because they denied my first surgery due to their perceived lack of "medical necessity."

Mission of Gravity by Hal Clement has sentient centipede-like aliens. A very good book even 70 years later.

You mean you are not motivated to make rich people even richer? Shame.

He seems to be enjoying himself, lol.

Can the bus please just run him over already?

I think as mainstream porn has become more extreme more people are viewing it as harmful.

My library also has Hoopla, maybe yours does as well?

I am in the middle of fracking country. I can't go to certain parks because the chemical smell the wells give off makes me lightheaded. One of the workers I met said they also use copious amounts of biocides to keep the wells clear of growth.

Police in my town spend a significant amount of time at the scenes of car accidents. I wonder what percentage of their time?

Their priority should be on crime and accident response and prevention and I feel like it is in my small town. I don't know how this compares to police in larger cities, which makes studies like these valuable.

Lol, so accurate.

Oh dear God. Kids don't need "nifty gadgets" to learn, they need an authentic learning community and a reason to care.

Everyone would share the yacht? Like a timeshare.

Damn it. My shop has used Shopify for years. One reason I chose it was the excellent customer service and help I received as a new small business owner.

Greedy people at the top of companies are always trying to squeeze more money out of their operation, to the detriment of everyone.

Perhaps employees should co-own the companies they work for so they can be part of the decision-making process.

It's called DishBrain, a silly name for something terrifying...

It could also be partly explained by mothers being forced into carrying defective fetuses to term.

Like this mother: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/04/06/1168399423/a-good-friday-funeral-in-texas-baby-halos-parents-had-few-choices-in-post-roe-te

And your penis!

It is also much more complex than that. Some educated and otherwise intelligent people also voted for Trump.

In addition to taxation, make them share their wealth with all of their employees. Their working people deserve the money more than the government.
