  • This article is ridiculous It looks like I need to start bookmarking sources to R-antics again for when his bs gets rugswept again and all the Republicans get on board.

    Fuuuu

    But it’s not just that one story. Vance has tried to claim he has a mountain of “evidence” that migrants are eating cats, dogs, and geese from local parks. And they all turn out to be garbage. NBC News talked with a woman in Springfield, Erika Lee, who was behind one of the Facebook posts that far-right influencers elevated online before Vance really kicked it into high gear. It turns out Lee’s post was based on something she’d heard from “an acquaintance of a friend” and that she had no first-hand knowledge of anything like that happening










  • This article has sooo much being said between the lines.

    The mother, Rachel Pickrel-Hawkins, said the reunification therapy by Christine Bassett, a licensed marriage and family therapist, has been harmful, abusive and counterproductive

    When the other party is there perpetrator of abuse and the one with power, it very often is detrimental to have some sort of mediation or therapy/counseling. Because the abusers very often are able to manipulate the story so they are the victims in need of most support/compromise/thoughtfulness/time/money/basically ANY conceivable resource in life and relationships they will exploit.

    Now I admit I am more familiar with the medical side of things but this entire dynamic gives me pause because it is so psych 101.










  • Oh my gosh do you remember the name of a show they had in roughly 05-10i era that was just featuring prototypes for future technology?

    I remember it featuring robotic exoskeleton, something that I’m pretty sure was Kevlar or at least functions very similarly, a sidewalk that can generate power from people walking on it. I even think it featured an “invisibility cloak” so basically a mix of practicality and stages of development. It was fun. I feel like there were a lot of shows about futuristic stuff then on those channels (discovery package basically if u know u know) right before reality suffocated it. And I can’t find anything about them and they aren’t ever mentioned.
