If you were listening yesterday, you heard an unbelievably calm discussion by the Supreme Court about whether it might be acceptable or a President to assassinate their opponent and have "immunity" to break any law they please without prosecution.

How is that even being debated?

No one is above the law.

Stephen Colbert on the fact that #SupremeCourt Justice #ClarenceThomas missed the State of The Union #SOTU address:

"It's nice to know he's willing to recuse himself from something."

Oh hey, the Attorney General of Indiana has published a snitch line for schools that teach LGBTQ+ issues, or make Woke materials available to their students!

Here’s the URL. Use it responsibly. Don’t use it to report Godzilla flying the Trans flag or anything like that, ok?

Dear House Republicans:

We know what you are doing. You are staging a fake shutdown to blow up the economy,

You are gambling that by next year, the American people will have forget that it was YOU REPUBLICANS who staged this fake fight, but blame Biden.

But the said reality is you are ALIENATING YOUR OWN SUPPORTERS. They will not vote for you.

And the rest of us? We will REMEMBER WHO TO BLAME. AND WE WILL VOTE. YOU. OUT. #Shutdown #GovernmentShutdown

Sincerely,

The American people

@SocraticEthics To put it in perspective, US aid to Ukraine is .33% of US GPD. Less than 1%.

There was a Happy Days episode that both literally and figuratively jumped the shark.

lisagetspolitik,
@lisagetspolitik@union.place avatar

@MissingThePt Yes, Happy Days is where the expression "jumping the shark" came from. It was an episode where The Fonz was water-skiing and naturally, he was so cool, he jumped a shark. It was a desperate attempt by the writers to escape the formulaic monotony of the show and come up with something new. I remember when it first aired: I was in elementary school. But the thing is, the show stayed #1 for years after that, so it didn't really mean the show was over.

The palm oil industry has made a pact to end deforestation in parts of Sumatra, which could lead to the protection of MASSIVE areas of Indonesian rainforest. This is a huge victory and a crucial moment!

Sign this petition. It will only take a moment and help us get big corporations like PepsiCo to back the agreement.

People are talking about the predatory business practice "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" because Meta is circling the Fediverse menacingly, and this is a textbook example of it:

So, there is a fantastic one week #summercamp for #teens happening this #summer in South Coast #Massachusetts I just have to share - it's reasonably priced, and the instructor weaves magic spells over teenagers that makes them believe in themselves and the universe.

Hey Mastadonians, I'm happy to join the #Fediverse, and yes, I am a recent #TwitterMigrant

By way of #introduction, I'm a #college #professor with a focus on #communication, #games and #sustainability.

I am concerned about #democracy across the globe, #IndigenousRights and how we avert a #ClimateCatastrophe.
I think #GamebasedLearning might be a way to think creatively about sustainability.

I also love #Timetravel, #AudioBooks and #DoctorWho
