    It's gotta be really weird to be an adult whose primary audience is children.

    Especially now in the era where your audience more directly influences what you do and what you put out.

    Not saying this is in any way comparable to the current state of affairs, but it's very easy to support one side in a war in which they're both war criminals. Just because both sides are doing things defined as war crimes doesn't make their goals unjust.

    Like the Allies in WW2, the Red Army in the Russian Civil War, the Vietcong in Vietnam, etc.

    Two of the biggest grocery store chains in the US are trying to merge, fun story about the last time that happened: www.opb.org

    Fun anecdote from the article about a _previous_ merger one of these companies did: >Washington seeks to avoid the situation it found itself in a decade ago, when Albertsons bought the Safeway chain. To satisfy regulators concerned about that deal's potential impact on supermarket competition and consumers, Albertsons sold 146 stores to Haggen, a small grocery chain based in Bellingham, Washington. >But Haggen struggled with the expansion. Within six months, it had closed 127 stores — including 14 in Washington — and laid off thousands of workers. Haggen sold its remaining stores to Albertsons in 2016. Now, 10 Haggen stores in Washington are on the list to be sold if the merger happens. Look at the math on that little offer they did to make the merger more palatable. lmao

    I'd say that it's still a very common trope, and that's part of the reason it's not discussed much. The other reason is that, as the cultural "default" cishet men don't really create spaces centering their shared cishet experience, since basically all communities are awash in that already. Lesbians obviously carve out spaces for themselves where they can discuss their own culture, which is not often on display in the wider culture.

    Like if you went to a forum for cishet dudes, it would be a bunch of guys who think there aren't enough places already to talk about being a cishet dude and that's a big red flag.

    Part of the ruling stems from the ND constitution which guarantees a right to pursue happiness:

    Section 1. All individuals are by nature equally free and independent and have certain inalienable rights, among which are those of enjoying and defending life and liberty; acquiring, possessing and protecting property and reputation; pursuing and obtaining safety and happiness; and to keep and bear arms for the defense of their person, family, property, and the state, and for lawful hunting, recreational, and other lawful purposes, which shall not be infringed.

    Notably, "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" were in the Declaration of Independence, and not the US Constitution. But ND put it in theirs.

    Anyway, wishcasting here to say that this opens a pathway to protecting gender-affirming care in ND as well.

    Context: Trump's lawyers are in front of the Supreme Court arguing that presidents cannot be prosecuted for any crimes they commit while in office. Who knows how the Calvinball refs will decide this one, but if they go Trump's way, Biden has literally no excuse not to assassinate his political rivals.

    I just found out about "balcony solar" which is, by and large, illegal in the US web.archive.org

    Apparently this is all the rage in Germany (and China) where you can buy a kit at the supermarket for 500-600EUR and then you simply hang the solar panels over your balcony and plug them in to a wall outlet to reduce your net usage. I was trying to do research on why we don't have this in the US and it doesn't seem like there are any particularly good reasons for it other than sclerotic response to "new" technology. Seems like an incredibly cool idea to make apartment dwelling even more sustainable. non-archive link: https://www.dw.com/en/mini-plug-in-solar-panels-are-they-worth-it/a-66240262
