In case you've seen that equality meme here or there, here's a short tale of how it came to be: medium.com/@CRA1G/the-e...

Sometimes Reddit just makes me giggle.

I'm so excited about another BLINK festival here in Cincinnati. Past years have been epic & this year looks to be even grander on every scale. Light installations, animated murals, drone shows, and all manner of light-based art all over downtown...that's BLINK. www.wvxu.org/local-news/2...

Add this to the giant, steaming pile of ethical violations and literal laws broken by the Con Man-in-Chief.

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

A terrific (and terrifying) case study of what Chinese firms are willing to do, if not encouraged by the Chinese government to do, to "compete" with, and steal market share from, companies outside China. This is just one of many examples of pilferism as policy. www.tomshardware.com/pc-component...

A truly stunning account of greed and corruption, even for #Ohio Republicans, who unashamedly sell out citizens' interests to any corporations who come asking for tax breaks and offering campaign donations (if not cash) in return. No more single-party rule! ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/08/28/o...

Your gas car, your diesel truck -- they contribute to displaced communities & lost species the same way a lit cigarette contributes to lung cancer risks for everyone around it. Reduce, if not eliminate, your reliance on fossil fuels, or accept your part of the blame. spacedaily.com/b-the-uns-ne...

"NHTSA estimated its proposal would cut new ​vehicle costs by $930 each. But it would increase fuel consumption by ​around 100 ⁠billion gallons through 2050, fuel spending by $185 billion and carbon dioxide emissions by about 5%." Only a moron would make that deal. www.reuters.com/world/us-ann...

This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.

Consider this: A billionaire could give $100,000 away each and every day for 25 years straight and still have over $80 million left (and that doesn't even include interest income) #nobillionaires

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

“In other words, the U.S. government now spends more money just on interest on the debt that it does to fund the entire U.S. military or to provide health care for seniors.”👇

The US' approach to many things -- largely because of a disturbingly obsessive devotion to capitalism -- is putting unreasonable economic pressures on nearly all Americans, threatening the very fabric of our society. Healthcare is an essential service, not a luxury. www.cbsnews.com/news/hospita...

Every change the Trump administration proposes makes things worse for consumers and better for companies. Every. Single. One. And this is no different. And imagine being the airline lobbyist who has to admit his company wants more leeway to mislead customers. www.cbsnews.com/news/dot-air...

Calling wind power "dangerous to wildlife," when the fossil fuels energy Trump advocates is literally terminating species annually, is yet another example of the substantial long-term harm this con man and his flunkies are doing to the world. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This administration continues to plumb the depths of absurdity and uselessness, this time by calling bike lanes "DEI" and removing them from recommended and federally funded traffic safety initiatives. The cartoonish villainy would be amusing if it weren't so harmful. www.npr.org/2026/07/16/n...

Quite literally socializing the harms while privatizing the profits.

The right-wing attack on birthright citizenship is not just about birthright citizenship itself. As MAGA’s reaction to the Supreme Court ruling proves, it is part of their opposition to a broader ideal, that “All men are created equal.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

How do you know when your devotion to capitalism is too extreme? Maybe when it makes you a global outlier in your willingness to let companies require people to work every single week without a break. Source: www.axios.com/2026/07/02/v...

This makes me think that maybe, as Americans approach this Independence Day, that it might be our patriotic duty to send sternly worded emails to government bureaucrats detailing our dissatisfaction with their attempts to undermine our civil liberties. www.npr.org/2026/07/01/n...

This administration seems to want to strip us of our Constitutional rights at every opportunity. That is the way of fascists, whose hold on power is incompatible with everyday citizens being permitted to do and say things outside their control. www.npr.org/2026/06/26/n...

One of the many reasons Ohioans pay too much for electricity is the state regulatory agency -- long controlled by Republicans deeply funded by the fossil fuels industry -- regularly kills initiatives that would produce cheap, clean energy. signalohio.org/clark-county...

There is no reason to be concerned about this. History gives us precisely no examples of would-be authoritarians using fake emergencies as cover for seizing absolute power. My suggestion would be for all Americans and especially all politicians in Washington to continue doing whatever they're doing.

When political ideology overrides scientific consensus, it can be fatal and undermine national security. #Vaccines save lives, protect public health, and are essential for maintaining vital functions. And politics shouldn't get in the way of that.

Extreme wealth inequality is a destabilizing force, undermining the economy and making our society both more fragile and more susceptible to manipulation and corruption. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

"Two solar facilities built on rehabilitated agricultural land were restored with native plants. Argonne researchers observed pollinators thrive." Solar power, when smartly built, can improve agriculture *and* provide clean, pollution-free, low-cost energy. www.anl.gov/article/inse...

You just know that, if it were up to him, Hegseth would have granted himself the title of "God of War" and he'd show up to the Pentagon every day in full Roman gladiator costuming.

The shift to sustainable energy sources -- better for both the environment and our wallets -- continues despite conservatives' continuing support of dirty fossil fuels. electrek.co/2026/06/09/s...

Anti-renewable-energy politics in Ohio have caused us to remain needlessly dependent on fossil fuels, harming both the environment and our bank accounts. www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

As the House Judiciary Committee continues the inquisition of SPLC today, we should all be concerned. We can't allow President Trump and his allies to abuse their power and retaliate against groups they don't like, or all of our civil liberties will pay the price.

Ignorance kills. The Trump administration is an existential threat to humanity. www.livescience.com/planet-earth...

The world’s ten richest people — almost all Americans — saw their collective net worth increase by $220 billion in May. These ten people are now worth a combined $2.9 trillion. The bottom 50% of U.S. households, is worth $4.3 trillion. Wondering if inequality is out of control?

Staggering levels of corruption. They’re using every possible lever of power to enrich themselves and their friends and families. And the “party of fiscal responsibility” simply doesn’t care.

At some point, I hope to hell we realize that giving corporations unlimited political influence was a bad move.

This right here.

“It’s unfortunate that a lot of those folks sort of catastrophize everything for political gain,” LaRose said. “They try to make a fake controversy out of things.” Irony is officially dead. www.nbc4i.com/news/your-lo...

EVs save you money AND they reduce your carbon footprint, meaning they're better for your wallet AND better for the environment than your existing gas car. www.npr.org/2026/06/01/n...

Such blatant racism and sexism must have consequences in our elections. www.npr.org/2026/06/01/n...

This administration continues to undermine everything that has been a source of strength and vitality in this country. They are ruled by a dark fear of what they do not understand, and sadly, they understand almost nothing. arstechnica.com/science/2026...

This is the result of two malicious trends in the US: (1) increasing wealth inequality & concentration, and (2) decreasing corporate regulation & oversight. And, frustratingly, each trend reinforces and amplifies the other. www.npr.org/2026/05/28/n...

Was testing a new(ish) USB CD/DVD drive and just grabbed a random CD off my shelf to see if it could be read. Ended up being a Palm OS 5 compatibility CD from 2002. Man, I tell you what -- smartphones are really cool and powerful and all, but there are days when I truly miss my PalmPilot.
