U.S. News@beehaw.org•Texas camp where 25 girls died in 2025 flood may not be allowed to reopenEnglish
1·13 hours agoThat’s the news so far.

Technology@beehaw.org•It's true that A.I. will never be able to fully replace any task that humans can do?English
1·14 hours agoThis is not the correct question. It simply needs to breach 80% of what a human can do for corporations to switch over, as consumers don’t give a shit about 100%.

Politics@beehaw.org•Trump Is Going After Birth Control. Here’s Why.English
2·16 hours agoI got snipped after seeing my post-divorce ex-girlfriend having all manner of side effects from the pill. My ex-wife had a full hysterectomy after dealing with non-birth-control-related endometriosis, so I’d sort of forgot about the complications.
This said, I’ve known women who use the pill specifically to regulate their menstrual cycles, with contraception being a happy side effect.

Environment@beehaw.org•The Next El Niño Could Lock Earth Into a Hotter ClimateEnglish
5·18 hours agoIncoming anecdotal evidence: The weather here in March was more like the tail end of May. We had a few cool, rainy days in the past week that led to much discussion about how we’d forgotten what a full day of soaking rains even felt like. Now, it’s going to be 95F on Tuesday – perfectly standard weather for July.
Without air-conditioning, I’ve very concerned about what this summer holds.

Science@beehaw.org•Researchers say we’re talking less than everEnglish
2·1 day agoHow would a boat turning over help matters?

Politics@beehaw.org•Trump Is Going After Birth Control. Here’s Why.English
2·1 day agoIn what way? The Catholic church has been fine with contraception for decades. Which makes this feel like an excuse to just attack the church for unrelated issues. I’m an atheist, so let’s skip the “Catholic apologist” defense.

Politics@beehaw.org•Unfounded Health Concerns Are Powering a Solar BacklashEnglish
2·1 day agoThat makes it very difficult to still be MAGA. Being convinced by evidence is the death knell.

Science@beehaw.org•Researchers say we’re talking less than everEnglish
3·2 days agoI wouldn’t be able to have a conversation with my ex if interrupting were off the table.

Science@beehaw.org•Researchers say we’re talking less than everEnglish
4·2 days agoThere are some days that I only speak a few words in transactional situations. Sometimes, I get a call and have to clear my throat because even though I’ve been up for hours, I’ve not yet engaged my vocal cords.
Inasmuch as one can fuck up a Nazi bar.

Politics@beehaw.org•Kash Patel’s Lawsuit Against “The Atlantic” Is a Giant Self-OwnEnglish
24·2 days agoDifferent lawsuit.

World News@beehaw.org•‘Athens cannot operate as a giant hotel’: mayor vows to rescue capital from overtourismEnglish
4·2 days agoSure, if the only metric is finances, this is a terrible decision. Add affordability and quality of life for residents, which should be a goal for any municipality, and the calculus looks a bit different.
Why need a label? You do you.

Politics@beehaw.org•How Iran Will Kill 80+ Years of US Global HegemonyEnglish
5·2 days agoThis is unacceptable behaviour on Beehaw. I honestly don’t care who’s right here, but consider this a corrective hope. Y’all are not Beeing Nice.
There are still plenty of counterculture people in tech. They just don’t run the show. (Source: burner community)

U.S. News@beehaw.org•US soldier involved in Maduro raid charged over alleged bets on captureEnglish
3·3 days agoIt’s a grift. Everything is about extortion these days.

AskBeehaw@beehaw.org•Would you rather vote for Darth Vader or Donald Trump?English
1·3 days agoI have some bad news about Gene Hackman.

Humanities & Cultures@beehaw.org•‘I felt like I’d stumbled on a cheat code’: what is the burned haystack dating method?English
1·3 days agoBoth dates I went on were for coffee. Let’s see if we click sober and go from there.
One led to being invited to her house the next day; the other walked me to her dorm room from Starbucks. The second ex-wife, who I just got off the phone with, was a situation no sane person would do outside of the physical conditions I was faced with, so I met her for the first time in her kitchen.
I seriously do not understand dating.

Humanities & Cultures@beehaw.org•‘I felt like I’d stumbled on a cheat code’: what is the burned haystack dating method?English
1·3 days agoBack in my dating days, people wrote full profiles. And I’ve never been on more than one date. The whole scene confuses me. I’ve always been in the fuck-first-and-figure-it-out-later camp. I wasn’t looking for one-night stands, but if you click, you click. And it’s pointless to drag things out with dinners and movies before determining physical compatibility.





















Also, “I am not a _____” from a president doesn’t have the strongest pedigree.
