In the 1930s, the United States government introduced redlining, a discriminatory practice that categorized neighborhoods based on people's race or ethnicity and denied financial services to residents in certain areas—redlining disproportionately aff…
Listen to this episode from The Ezra Klein Show on Spotify. The internet is in decay. Do a Google search, and there are so many websites now filled with slapdash content contorted just to rank highly in the algorithm.
@paninid oh the irony of this being hosted on a platform that intentionally breaks itself, lying to claim it won't work on my device, until I instruct my device to lie as well, claiming it is a desktop PC, at which point the site works perfectly well...
...and the site does this is an attempt to force me to use their crappy app, which they do not make available for my device, and which I think is *actually* not compatible even if I could manage to get it.
But like, David Klion popped onto Bluesky a month or two ago and did the same thing. I'm just like, how is this consistent with being a leftist, which is essentially kind of utopian right? I get choosing your battles but I also feel like people aren't connecting this issue with their value and outlook in other areas. Aren't taking it seriously as a political issue.

The children’s section of the library now had 8 versions of the Bible, but only 1 picture book about Halloween.
Virtually everyone identifies as a Christian, and most folks vote Republican.
The divide is between those who believe the library should adhere to their own personal religious convictions, and those who argue that it should instead reflect a wide range of ideas and identities.
A battle over library books is dividing Metropolis, Illinois, which shares a name with Superman’s home. A pastor is framing the fight as a clash between good and evil.
The Metropolis Public Library is under attack by a very vocal, small group of individuals who seek to impose their own personal agenda on others in the community.
Trump inciting violence at the courthouse, like he did on Jan 6th in DC. Sound familiar? Cassidy Hutchinson, Trump on Jan 6th. "I don't f'ing care that they have weapons. They're not here to hurt me. 'Take the f----ing mags away! Let my people in, they can march to the capital from here. Let the people in. Take the f---ing mags away: Trump wanted armed supporters allowed on Jan. 6th https://youtu.be/BiuI4qfMp6s?si=DrTeWO5ENh2bZJiJ&t=377

@BEAUBOBO BONOBO ⛳ ⚽🎶♒🐵🎗🏌️♂️ RFK jr has zero chance of winning thankfully. If he's pulling more votes from Trump then Biden is great news. The crazies not hateful enough will go for RFK
We can’t afford to ignore the hidden pandemic anymore.
In When the Drugs Don’t Work, I spell out in plain language how superbugs threaten modern medicine, how we got here, and what we need to do to keep things from getting worse @juggernautbooks
Sophie has gotten into the habit of curling up under the duvet with me at night - which is lovely as who wouldn’t like a purring cat sleeping next to them? Last night I was taking longer than she liked to get into bed & I realized I was being gently nudged; turned around to this view! #CatsOfMastodon
It's kind of hilarious how angry bigots are about the "cis" appellation. You know how you could get people to stop using it? STOP SPENDING ALL YOUR TIME SPECULATING ABOUT PEOPLE'S GENITALS AND WE WON'T NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT
I was flabbergasted by the cost of medical care I could have died without – but surprise fees are standard in a system motivated first and foremost by profit
#Trump was kind of always on vacation and #Mara-largo was was vacation but dubbed it the winter white house so it magically made it not a vacation somehow.
