If I owned a pharmacy, I would tell every dude coming in with a prescription for ED drugs that "we don't do gender affirming care" and watch them melt down.They'd say, "I'm a man, I was born a man," and I'd say, "Well, God made you a eunuch & you're trying to change God's will with gender affirming care. God decided you should not be procreating, and I'm not going to argue with God. Isn't that what you all say? So I say, everybody gets care or nobody does."

So, gender affirming care for republicans.

In short, rising CO2 and diminished Oxygen levels due to deforestation and changing ocean chemistry means it's harder to think straight - our brains are being deprived of Oxygen at higher and higher CO2 levels.

In other words, our unwillingness to give up fossil fuels and stop plundering the natural areas of the planet is not only dumb, it's making us dumber.

No Tax Tips is all talk, little substance.

"The White House’s Council of Economic Advisors says tipped workers will gain ~$1,300 a year in take-home pay. That affects roughly 4 million Americans, or 2.5% of the US workforce — many of whom already owe little or no income tax, per the Yale Budget Lab.

Meanwhile, the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation estimates the tax break will cost $32 billion over its temporary four-year run."

This time we should make it painful for them to do it.

People in the US are going to have to get serious about boycotting businesses that support the coup.

The other option is to die in a gutter.

The entire culture he comes from teaches violence is the solution to all problems - from abusing energetic children and pretending it's discipline, to domestic violence against women, to killing animals for fun, to calling for the deaths of non-christians, non-whites, and lgbtq folks. The fact he repudiated the hate didn't change his violent cult upbringing. He lacked the maturity & introspection to realize he was just changing targets, not tactics. He was still in the cult mentality.

Prior to air conditioning, home builders employed a wide variety of strategies to keep buildings cool in hot climates, that didn't need artificial power.

Modern builders have completely ignored most of that, but some clever hacks - as well as solar panels & small residential wind supplemental power - can fill in some blanks.

It also helps if you know how double-hung windows are actually supposed to work. (See Alt Text)
