The thing about this baby who was shot by cops in Mississippi that bothers me most is the (perhaps inaccurate) reporting that an adult was stealing diapers.

Who. Fucking. Cares.

Why does an adult need to steal diapers? What kind of bullshit society do we live in where baby supplies are something so hard to afford that someone might steal them?

This is a frustratingly limited viewpoint. I don't disagree that, currently, renewables have a dependency on fossil fuels for production, but that doesn't mean it has to be that way.

There's no reason we can't have electric mining equipment, electric refining equipment, and electric transportation.

"Solar isn't the answer" might be strictly true, but it's not like any serious person actually thinks that if we just have enough solar panels we'll solve the climate crisis. It's part of a bigger picture, and if the author did think that solar alone would solve everything, well they're clearly not a serious person, or at least dangerously naive.

I don't think people should be able to buy fireworks, but if we are going to continue to allow it, can we at least sell them around June/July when it's dark at 6pm and there's less fire hazard?

Guy Fawkes barely makes sense in the UK, it makes zero sense here in NZ. There's absolutely no reason to insist on selling fireworks in November when you can easily justify selling them in July for Matariki instead.

Wife is trying to learn how to make kids clothes but the patterns from Spotlight don't seem very good. Anybody got any suggestions for good sewing patterns that don't assume already know how to sew?

Just saw #FlowMovie, if you haven't seen it yet you should. It's emotional, dramatic, and heartwarming.

I believe her.

#OnThisDay, 28 Nov 1967, Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovers the existence of pulsars.

Not included in the 1974 Nobel prize for the discovery, Bell received a £3m prize for her work in 2018. She's used it to set up a foundation to improve the diversity in STEM.

We had a technician come to investigate why we weren't getting heat distributed through our house.

Many tests and several thousand dollars later, he found the root cause.

New from @JuliusGoat

"So maybe "the center" isn't a position. Maybe it's an alignment, one that sees unity as a constant and never-changing agreement with supremacists, a certification that supremacists and only supremacists are part of "us," and any attempt to make common cause with unwanted groups that supremacists consider to be their enemies represents polarization and disunity, in a way that supremacist violence itself never will."
