In 2021, the number of schoolchildren killed by guns was equivalent to driving a school bus at capacity off a cliff every single week. It's only gotten worse since then. It's the guns.

Rocky Mountain Rain Shadow. Can't do much agriculture without water. Less farming = less population growth in the area = less population density = fewer cities.

Is it me or is the media not really covering how Trump wants a day where he can just murder Americans? Seems difficult to ignore but they found a way

Oh god, fuck all the way off. Way to look at something in the simplest possible terms and tell yourself there can't conceivably be anything more complex behind it. GLP-1 agonist drugs do a LOT of things, including adjusting some brain chemistry that relates to hunger.

The "Reply All" should have a pop-up confirmation where the user has to type "Yes, every single person in on the original email needs to see my response." verbatim before it'll send. People cannot be trusted.

Trump knew in February. He knew that COVID-19 passes through the air. He knew it is deadlier than the flu. He knew it is dangerous to more than just our elderly and vulnerable. He purposely downplayed the pandemic. And now, 190,000 Americans are dead.

If you’re a “senior Democrat” that feels this way, you should absolutely retire and make space for true leadership that refuses to resign themselves to fascism. This kind of leadership is functionally useless to the American people. Retire.
A senior House Democrat tells Axios: "We've all resigned ourselves to a second Trump presidency." axios.com/2024/07/14/house-d…

Let me say this as clearly as I can: I’m the sitting President of the United States. I’m the nominee of the Democratic party. I’m staying in the race.
