I'm going to keep sharing this info until it sinks in.

Young voters do not get significantly more or less politically activated. Voter suppression gets more or less effective. Ballot drop boxes and mail-in voting, prevents suppression.

People do not become more conservative as they get older. There is not an increasing difference between white GOP and Dem voters as they get older.

Black people don't live long, and many brown voters aren't born yet.

Walgreens will never get another dollar of my money. Its refusal to sell a vital, legal product is disgusting. If CVS goes along with this, the pharmacy cartel will be lending its considerable weight to a policy that the vast majority of Americans reject -- a policy mandated by a minority party of extremists. https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/implications-walgreens-decision-abortion-pills-97617141

The Florida GOP is just comically fascist.

2-year study yielded over 10,000 videos of birds at offshore wind farm, with no collisions or near-misses with wind turbines recorded.

‘The most common response I get when I talk about dark matter is: “isn’t this just something physicists made up to make the math work out?”
The answer to that might surprise you: yes! In fact, everything in physics is made up to make the math work out.’

I sympathize with the people who were caught off-guard by the use of PFAS in Thinkx menstrual underwear, but I do think it's useful to keep in mind that PFAS are also in every single cardboard carry out container and waxed paper cup out there on the market.

@Jdreben #BlueSky is to #ActivityPub like #MSFTOOXML is to #OpenDocumentFormat. Or, in other words, it's like a massive, self-interested world power introducing #ImperialUnits for measurement in a world where the #MetricSystem is already well entrenched with a claim that "diversity in standards" is useful.

Which, of course, is one of the reasons the rest of us can't have nice things.
