Good article, Isaac, but lobopodians aren’t worms. The name applies to limbless long-bodied invertebrates, but really it should be restricted to members of the phylum Annelida. In any case, lobopodians had limbs. Lots of them.

QUICK!!! Everybody back so we can vote against the broad wishes of our constituencies!!!!

If Threads is boring, I can’t really imagine it being a Twitter replacement. Twitter, for better or worse, combines being entertaining with being easy to use - if Threads doesn’t do that, then it won’t draw enough people over.

Seems pretty spot on. Im close to agreement, but I believe threads being tied to instagram so closely was always about trying to snag a bunch of new users fleeing twitter and they will eventually merge threads back into instagram with all those new accounts coming along for the ride.

I’m no expert, but it seems like the most likely way this plays out is:

Ohioans United for Reproductive Rights filed more than 700,000 signatures to Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose’s (R) office on Wednesday

Given how rampant fraudulent trading is in NFTs, I’m definitely in Camp “He didn’t pay a dime for this, and probably got paid in real money to pretend to buy it”.

I’m sure that the Ohio State legislature will find a loophole here, right?

It has lost more than 95% of that perceived value since.

It is pretty funny that it didn’t occur to him that restaurants, for the vast majority of us, are places where we go to avoid having to cook.

This is the result of not teaching real history.

• “We don’t know what any of them will taste like, or what’s good.”

“…it is time for us to get back and start reading some of those quotes.”

I’m just - wow - huh - like bereft of words. Does the GOP even see itself now, or remember back just twenty years or so? Like any of it?

Reminder that you have the ability to dismiss the comments of dumbshit whatabout trolls that respond to you!

Republicans...the new Nazi Party. Examples:
- Banning and burning books

Got to wonder about these guys.

Those parallels require a level of self-reflection of which I fear these folks are not capable.

I mean, we should be reading their writings. Not as instruction mind you, but as warning of what fascism and abject cruelty sounds like BEFORE it’s allowed to take power. Those parallels would be eye-searing.
