There seems to be a great number of bee keepers and "bee allies" on Mastodon. Is this true? If it is, I find that very reassuring.

Via Laurie Garrett:
No end in sight for heat dome effect that has already kept most of So US & Mexico in triple-dig F temps for 3+ wks. How long must this persist b4 polit leaders in hardest-hit states stop blocking #ClimateCrisis adaptation & mitig efforts?
NBC's Bill Karins:
Last time El Paso, TX didn’t hit 100 dg was 6/15. Average high this time of yr: 95-97. Theyre under exces heat warning & highs near 105 next 6 days. After that, no relief in sight to record breaking 100 dg day streak

I am planning to incorporate a feature into the bot that consistently posts news stories concerning the U.S., sourced from reputable outlets like Jacobin and Democracy Now. This feature is intended to offset the surge of more trivial content that often trends on social media and is automatically picked up.
Despite everything I have tried it still favors a lot of garbage stories.

Sure would be nice if there were actual consequences for the mind-bendingly corrupt conservatives on the Supreme Court.

The Republican Party is going broke in Arizona?
The AZ GOP HAD $770K 4 years ago but now only holds $50K after buying rounds of “election fraud” challenges and shady cyber ninjas
Hm.
So Trump is going to Make America Great Again by bankrupting the GOP

@GottaLaff I understand where you are coming from. This is semantics. When I use the term it is a condemning way, describing a pattern. It would certainly not be a word in this case to describe an acceptable standard. It’s a terrible standard/pattern that hopefully most people would not want, accept for the My Precious crowd, with lots of thoughts and prayers and all manner of excuses about why their liberty trumps dead children. 🤔
@MSNBC Most disheartening is that this walking, talking train wreck is considered a viable candidate for our top leadership position. Is this what the beginning of a collective, voluntary national implosion looks like? 😳

I remember when people tried to blame herbicide for this. And if they banned it, NOTHING would have been done to help these workers.
Chasing the wrong claim because of your ideology helps nobody. See also mercury in vaccines and other RFKJr top hits.
@GottaLaff Sadly the daily mass shooting somewhere in America has become the norm, although most of us can say we did not experience it.
@tomcapuder My position is that if in the end we’re all not existing, there is no point, incapable of remembrance, oblivious. Not trying to sound morbid, just following a chain of logic. 🙂 Regarding free will,I believe based on our individual natures, and biological programming, we have little in the way of choice. Carrots or peas example. If you avoid what you don’t like, should this be called a choice? It’s more of a preference, not neutral free will.
