The GOP Is Getting Creamed on Abortion. But They Still Don’t Get How Badly. by Jay Kuo

With a Supreme Court case looming this week that could strip away the right to mifepristone, an abortion medication used in nearly half of abortions nationwide, the GOP is at a crossroads. At issue is whether the party will hew to the most extreme of positions: outlawing abortion with few to no exceptions, not even in cases of rape or incest, or to save the life of the mother. The few moderates left within the GOP are wringing their hands and warning of electoral catastrophe, while the presidential candidates weave and dodge the issue to ensure they can still appeal to the base while not alienating centrist voters.

Next time a conservative says they don't believe in pronouns, try calling God "she."

oh sure, when the fed prints money, they’re “fixing inflation”, but when I do it, I’m “committing a felony” and “violating the HP end user license agreement”

The, after breakfast, recliner Olympics has commenced.
I think the winner is my husband, who looks forward to this morning ritual.
Summer brings the juice and retrieves toys for as long as he will keep throwing.
She is a happy dog, for sure.
Good morning, Mastodon.

The Turing Test was a lot more fun when it was a thought experiment and not something you have to do every time you see something on the Internet.

Golly am I fed up with reporters who know better writing as if this is a serious negotiation rather than a bunch of clowns taking the economy hostage. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/04/17/debt-ceiling-crisis-kevin-mccarthy/

Hey folks, new to the server and thought an #introduction was in order.

I’m Nolan, A.K.A.. Lights Out Games, a blind game developer making audio-focused games. Check out my profile link for examples of what these sound like.

I also do lots of open source work, much of which currently involves game accessibility in some form. Notably, recently I helped integrate the #Bevy engine with platform accessibility APIs via AccessKit.

Look forward to meeting you all.
