I started a new Youtube channel a few months back to kind of help me come to terms with my late autism diagnosis, and I seem to be doing better on views than my (8 years old) Clay Disarray channel :ablobdizzy:

Anyhoo, thought I'd post a link here if you're interested 🧡

I’ve had it with people Biden bashing on here. This election is not a game. Yes Biden has many issues and many problems with policies and such. If Trump gets elected, everything you’ve strived for is over. It’s that simple.

I do believe people oft confuse the Covid lockdowns for “pandemic”. What folks should be saying is post-lockdown, or “after lockdown”. This pandemic is ongoing, though lockdowns have largely been (foolishly) been ruled out.

Everyone has a gender neutral bathroom in their home .. possibly several of them. Make sure to use this fact against transphobic assholes.

Worth emphasizing this, because most news outlets did not:

“Rep. Matt #Gaetz (R-Fla.) on Thursday ominously invoked Donald #Trump’s call to far-right violent extremists while joining the former president at his criminal trial in New York.

“Standing back and standing by, Mr. President,” Gaetz wrote on social media, along with a photo of himself positioned behind Trump at his trial.”

Via Democracy Docket:

BREAKING: #Arkansas Supreme Court reinstates four voter suppression laws ahead of the 2024 elections, reversing a lower court's ruling that the laws violated the state constitution.

The laws ban passing out food and water to voters waiting in line at the polls, establish signature matching rules, shorten the absentee ballot return period and implement strict photo ID procedures for voting. https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/arkansas-supreme-court-reinstates-four-voter-suppression-laws/

“It’s absurd for ODOT to claim that their proposed $1.9 billion 10-lane highway is in compliance with the city’s existing plans for #climateAction, sustainable #transportation investment or neighborhood development. We filed this lawsuit because state law requires ODOT to follow the city’s #cleanAir and climate goals. ODOT shouldn’t be allowed to advance a project that brazenly violates the city’s adopted plans.” -- #NoMoreFreeways #ODOTGTFOpdx #Portland

My morning radio feed has a new fill-in traffic reporter with that current language trend of not pronouncing terminating Ts and it's distracting. I wonder where it came from and why it's so rampant recently?

"There's an acciden aa the stree where ih crosses the river in the wess end."

Funny how speech trends come and go, and sometimes stay. I suspect Tiktok is amplifying it. Modern accents are becoming disconnected from geography and more about subculture/demographics.

Blaming screen time for the mental health of kids and teens when the world around them is growing crueler & falling apart is one of the biggest copouts I’ve witnessed thus far in my life.

Apple's says its environmentally friendly, and at the same time destroys perfectly usable devices to raise demand for new ones. And sues a company that sold those usable devices instead of shredding them. Good job Apple. https://9to5mac.com/2024/04/18/100000-iphones-stolen-instead-of-scrapped/

If the Democrats don’t capitalize on what’s going on in & around college campuses in this country, they are fucking stupid.
