I wanted to bake something today because the weather was cool, but I couldn't remember the recipe, so I had to look it up, but the recipe book was packed, so I had to move a bunch of boxes to get to it, but while they were out of the way I decided to put the kitchen rug down, then as long as I was at it I unpacked some dishes, then I unpacked my cookbooks then decided to put them on the tea cart, then put every else back nicely & now the kitchen looks better but I'm too tired to bake.

NC Senate passes bill to make it illegal to publicly mask for health reasons

Senators skeptical of legal trouble for harmless masking after moving to make it illegal.

@arstechnica The timing of this points to intent: not to survive court challenges that can take months to years, but to give police the ability to arrest peaceful and cooperative protestors who aren’t protesting on private property, and it allows authorities to say that only lawful protests are acceptable.

Sometimes the point of absurd laws isn’t to survive longterm, it’s to quash a movement’s momentum. This is why legal challenges to such laws should induce stays immediately.

Weather and climate change aren’t the same thing, but climate change is creating extremes.

Despite this, Ron DeSantis (R) just signed a law deleting climate change from Florida policy, banning the construction of offshore wind turbines, and boosting fossil fuels.

DeSantis isn’t in the running anymore for President but Trump is and his plan for addressing the climate is if anything worse.

DeSantis erases climate change from FL laws, strikes blow at windmills:

Worked out today. The injured knee is from about a month ago, but it's still feeling weirdly unstable, a bit puffy, and out of sorts. I'm going to keep exercising and icing, I'm getting really annoyed by this body being in such terrible shape, I've worked hard most of my life to keep it healthy, and now it's acting like it doesn't know me. An ass-kicking is called for.

Had an extra day off today, so I made some calls to find a new doctor and to deal with some bureaucratic things. 2 1/2 hrs later and I’ve made almost no progress.
Also, since when did medical services have a separate office “For Her” for gynecological services??? I thought I was a whole human. Not a person with some human parts and some, “For Her”.
I note, they don’t have separate offices “For Him”, because apparently all of a male body is considered to be normal human parts.

Explain to me like I'm 10 years old: Is the Biden tariffs on electric vehicles, batteries, and solar panels coming from China motivated 100% by politics (and maybe racism), or is there some other (more legit) reason to do it?

WhiteCatTamer,
@WhiteCatTamer@mastodon.online avatar

@davidho Politics. The United Auto Workers (UAW) is throwing their lot behind Biden, and the US EV market would struggle against cheaper Chinese EVs, so there’s a case to be made for supporting American, especially union backed, manufacturing.

You absolutely can argue that tariffs are not the way to go, that prioritizing this in place of a potentially gentler environmental impact via faster transition is wrong, but I don’t think raising the prospect of sinophobia is valid here.

This is just a pure 100 percent fabrication with nothing to even seem like it might, if you squinted, and read it backwards to back it up, right?

@billyjoebowers If everything is political then being ignorant is choosing the side of the oppressor…or no, maybe people can’t be eternally knowing and right on any and all subjects and not everything has to be All Discourse All the Time.

You are trying to get out of a pit with your friends, the sides are slippery and there is a guy at the top who sometimes throws things at you and you know he's helping other people to make even more pits that are even deeper someplace else. There is a slim chance he could be replaced by another guy who will start filling all the pits in with a bulldozer. Do you keep the jerk or brave the dozer?

Hard choice. I guess?

I saw a post yesterday questioning why the U.S. is investing in projects for electric vehicles but not investing in public transportation. That’s just false.

First, we aren’t getting rid of cars. We are too spread out and it’s doubtful that public transportation will be available in entirely where everyone, everywhere, at every time of day will need it. And we will always need vehicles for emergency services like ambulances and fire trucks and mail delivery and farms. 1/4

Bolts are being replaced by Blazers at Chevy but the U.S has definitely made an affordable EV. If you qualify for the rebate, and especially if your state has its own, it’s much cheaper than an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicle.

That’s just upfront. Then consider that maintenance is roughly 30% less and you’ll typically pay 30-60% less on energy/mile compared to an ICEV. Article from January but still.
