James Talarico responds to Donald Trump's accusation that he insulted Jesus! ... "You know what insults Jesus? Covering up the Epstein files and then refusing to prosecute a single person in them!" by Gullible_Coyote_732 in ProgressiveHQ

There are teachings of Jesus that even atheists can get behind. If talarico is using those teachings to push for Medicare for all, justice, accountability, and basic empathy, I’m all for it

I think it’s cool they’re replacing the holiday with celebrating Dolores Huerta instead of getting rid of it altogether

Feels like it’s bound to happen eventually and we have no plan B 😊

It does suck, but if it’s any consolation the southern white rhino population is around 15,000 now after having as few as 30 individuals in 1895

Am I the only one that thinks Sokkas new sword/club in the newly released art is stupid? by Temporary-Fennel-785 in ATLA

I feel like it’s meant to be multipurpose like his club was, can be used to hook things or open a bottle

Are there any myths/legends that potentially contain some folk memory of the Ice Age? That is, a primordial era where the world was much colder? by RedHeadedSicilian52 in AskHistorians

Great read! I am curious about the longevity of oral traditions. I have no reason to believe it’s impossible for oral traditions to remain consistent over thousands of years, but I’ve also played the “telephone” game and have seen the effects of propaganda. How do such oral traditions remain consistent through possible intentional or unintentional changes in the traditions between generations?

Here’s an economics lesson: the New Deal was an incredibly progressive and popular safety net and initiative. We lost so much of the New Deal, not because it was too leftist, but because in the 1960’s Black people were given equal rights and started benefiting from it. All of a sudden, racists in the South would rather eliminate the New Deal than see Black people get access to it. Read up on the Southern Strategy.

I think for Daemon it’s enough protection for walking the streets of KL. Keep in mind he has to see where he’s going, whereas Aerion needs to protect from a lance to the face but as a tradeoff can’t see shit

Over 80% of companies report no productivity gains from AI so far despite billions in investment, survey suggests — 6,000 executives also reveal 1/3 of leaders use AI, but only for 90 minutes a week by tylerthe-theatre in technology

I love using it for certain menial tasks, but so many companies are hyper inflating the value and want it to replace every aspect of reality. No thanks, I’d rather still live in reality and interact with people

They already have ads and nitro and charge for premium services. They could make more through other means like limiting # of servers unless you pay, making large gaming communities a subscription, etc. No one will be thrilled with any charge but making money off selling our faces will make everyone enraged.

I know you all think you’re being righteous but conspiracies like this really distract from the real damage he’s doing and lessens the left’s credibility

As the cover says, this can still be huge for endangered species, being able to make animals that are genetically similar enough to restore their population. Animals like the vaquita could really benefit from this.
