Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials
  • We are just beginning to understand how much the chemical Imbalances that lead to depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders originate in the digestive tract and how microplastics from food may disrupt the processing of these chemicals.

  • This is pants on head stupid
  • An elderly relative of mine started getting tickets in the mail for running red lights. She apparently just forgot that you couldn't turn left on a red light. It's a miracle she never hit anyone.

  • Trump Claims the Power to Nullify the Law
  • Unfortunately a good 40% of the country are so brainwashed by propaganda that they think that what Trump is doing is good. Someone is going to start the second civil war, but nobody is eager to fire the first shots.

  • Chicago’s South Side gets over 3X tickets per red-light camera as North Side
  • The cost of repairing their car from an accident won't stop them, a ticket won't either. All it does is punish local drivers making moves that no actual officer would actually ticket for (like turning right on a red with no pedestrians present).

  • State Voter Suppression Bills Could Disenfranchise Millions Ahead of Midterm Elections
  • IIRC, the Democrats used the filibuster more during Trump's first term than the Republicans did during Obama's second term. It is a highly flawed tool, but it does have its uses. Yeah, we are going to be able to pass more things we want, but so will the opposition.

    I think we should get rid of the filibuster because it has allowed the Executive to take more power. That doesn't mean it will be entirely positive. It might even be a net negative. Remember that we got rid of the filibuster for supreme court appointments and that is what allowed the Republicans to take a supermajority there.

  • State Voter Suppression Bills Could Disenfranchise Millions Ahead of Midterm Elections
  • The last time the Dems had a filibuster proof trifecta, it was for about 2 months and they passed Obamacare. The Repubs spent the next decade trying to break it. The Democrats have a lot of issues, but they are NOT the major problem here.

  • Believe them when they tell you. Trump’s camps are coming

    Donald Trump targeting of immigrants is a clear sign that America will have concentration camps for extra-judicial imprisoning of immigrants.

    Remember, ask for a warrant, don't talk to the police, and don't sign anything.

    I swear credit card companies make log-ins fail on purpose.

    I pay all my bills online so I'm used to navigating logins and payment apps. I never have nearly as much trouble paying credit card bills.

    My password wasn't working, so I tried recovery. The recovery asked for my email, birthdate, zip code, and last 4 digits of my SSN. All things I know well, but they say it's wrong. Now I'm locked out of my account for the 2nd time in two days....

    I almost think it's a conspiracy to enable charging people more late fees.

    Luna finally sat still long enough for me to get a good pocture of her.

    Luna is a 3 year old standard poodle. We have had her for 3 weeks and I already can't imagine life without her.
