Trying not to be afraid of the truth
NY Times:

Missouri primary voters overwhelmingly rejected a ballot measure that would have eliminated state income tax and authorized state lawmakers to replace that revenue by driving up sales taxes.

I'm actually surprised that Americans realize that income taxes are fairer than sales taxes.

Kimmel wasn’t fired for his remarks on Kirk—he was fired for using his platform to expose and critique our government. Enough! We especially need large corporations, with the money and influence they have, to fight back. sign.moveon.org/petitions/ki...
Keep Jimmy Kimmel on-air and NO caving to authoritarian censorship!
ABC and Disney must commit to standing up against government censorship. Neither critics, comedians, nor corporations should be scared into submission by MAGA.

@ttscoff.bsky.social I'm sorry, but the toilet story truly was funny.

OTOH the dishwasher story was distressing.

Here's a hug

#politics Sent to Senator Schumer: I appreciate your worries about the consequences of gov't shutdown and worry about them myself. You should vote against their bill and announce that you've decided that the Republicans are right: government is the problem so we're helping to solve the problem.

*sigh* If only.
Would be interesting to hear Trump commenting on that and explaining how that is different from him now trying to extort Ukraine in our own independence war.

Everyone survived the airplane crash in Toronto because of government-mandated:
- safety features of the airplane
- safety training of the crew
- safety systems at the airport
Time for fElon Musk to fire all those regulators.

I make use of a pretty neat technology called RSS.. Pretty futuristic stuff, you can subscribe to the social media feeds of other people without a server in the mix at all. ... I think it’s probably going to be a big hit.
