Lawsuit seeks to block Washington ‘parental rights’ initiative
I understand why our legislature made the choice it did - so they could retain power over the bill and hopefully change it next session - but very grateful for the ACLU stepping in here to block the bill from going into effect at all. Fingers crossed they succeed in the courts.
That's what you get for trying to have a real life.
And a tiny bit of white wine, and some salt. Freaking delicious.
It looks like there is a work around for that, but it involves the Rules Committee, which is typically appointed by the Speaker. So, yeah, not possible, outside of some exceptions that I'm not sure I understand well enough to explain. Something about things that are "privileged".
The concept is wonderful. I do not trust Elon with that concept. I worry that many folks with high hopes of this helping them will just end up used and hurt.
According to that site, Napster pays more. Here's the info on TIDAL:
I use Napster. I chose it way back when Spotify paid for the Rogan podcast, from a list of platforms that pay artists more. I'm not sure if that's true any longer, but look it up! I've been really happy with their service. (And it's really full circle for me, since I used their original service decades ago.)
ETA I can't vouch for the accuracy of this site, but it says Napster is still one of the top-paying platforms.
It was apparently before the college campus protests. I wonder what he thinks about those.
Maybe we would finally get prison reform, then
I think you're confusing a wealth tax with an income tax. They're different. As for how these wealthy people pay, it's not up to the government to figure out how someone pays their taxes. The onus is on the taxpayer.
Gun control, now
This is from The Nanny, but I don't know the episode. Those are the two main characters, though Fran is in a blond wig for some reason. It was made in the 90s and not in black and white, so this must have been a strange episode.
Oh! I found it, or at least this clip: https://youtu.be/82NuUC8WBko?si=30zJLoRGSBjtAnN7
Orange. Pure orange, yellow orange, neon, burnt. Not so much red-orange, but I do love oranges that have a bit of a pink sheen, like padparadscha sapphires.
Video killed the radio star. Still remember watching Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit ad nauseum.
And you stuck to the main, very large highways instead of trying the smaller routes. I always wonder if the Waze era of travel has helped or hurt smaller communities.
Minneapolis should make public transit free for a few* months, to encourage folks to use that instead. Golden opportunity.
How about you just don't make this kind of analogy in the year 2024?
Prop 1 is just the first proposition on that ballot. It gets reused every time. It's preferable to reference the actual title of the proposition, rather than just saying Prop 1.
Twelve FEET? Like, two six-foot- tall people standing on top of each other?? 🤯
"The government" doesn't want to argue that. Some idiot politicians do.
Just wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed reading your take on Swift. Thanks for sharing. ☺️
Texas AG Threatens Seattle Hospital With Jail Unless It Provides Trans Patient Data
www.erininthemorning.com Texas AG Threatens Seattle Hospital With Jail Unless It Provides Trans Patient Data
Attorney General Ken Paxton has sent a civil investigative demand to Seattle Children's Hospital, demanding data on all Texas patients traveling for care, despite having no jurisdiction there.
Excerpts:
"Seattle responded to the request by filing a lawsuit in Travis County, stating they cannot comply because Texas has no jurisdiction in Washington State, and no care was provided by the hospital in Texas. They also point out that the Dormant Commerce Clause, protected by the United States Constitution, “protects the right to interstate travel, including to obtain healthcare services.” By targeting out-of-state hospitals for enforcement of laws that only apply within the jurisdiction of Texas, they “discriminate against healthcare based on an interstate element,” violating constitutional protections, according to the legal filing. Lastly, Seattle Children’s Hospital cannot comply due to a shield law passed by Washington State. This law bars the hospital from providing any patient data and from responding to subpoenas pursuant to “protected healthcare services” obtained within the jurisdiction of Washington. Protected healthcare services include abortion, reproductive care, an
It's one of the biggest experiments in fighting global poverty. Now the results are in
It's an unprecedented – and massive – experiment: Since 2017 the U.S.-based charity GiveDirectly has been providing thousands of villagers in Kenya what's called a "universal basic income" – a cash grant of about $50, delivered every month, with the commitment to keep the payments coming for 12 years. It is a crucial test of what many consider one of the most cutting-edge ideas for alleviating global poverty. This week a team of independent researchers who have been studying the impact released their first results...
Can someone explain the 100 Gecs things to me?
They sound like 90s grunge to me and I kinda love it. They also sound like teenagers, which is what they are (I think) so, there's that. It's like a mix of Hanson, Weezer, and Nirvana. It's not bad, maybe not great, but what's with all the hate/love/intergenerational controversy?

www.kuow.org EPA sides with tribes on petition to regulate toxic tire chemical that kills salmon
6PPD has been in use for decades as a kind of bonding agent that prevents cracking and general wear and tear in tires. When the surface of the tire reacts with ozone or oxygen, it turns into a new compound called 6PPD-Quinone, which is toxic to aquatic life like coho salmon.
In the radio segment, they also mentioned that this chemical might be responsible for many other environmental and human health conditions. This is likely the tip of the iceberg.
In August, three Native tribes — two in Washington, and one in California — petitioned the EPA to regulate the use of 6PPD in tire manufacturing.

“6PPD-Q, which we’ve now discovered, is the second most toxic chemical ever evaluated to aquatic life,” said Elizabeth Forsyth, senior attorney with Earthjustice’s Biodiversity Defense Program, who worked on the petition.
The primary result of exposure is called urban runoff mortality syndrome, which kills up to 100% of coho salmon returning to streams in an urban watershed.

They gross me out. IDK why. Yes, it's dumb of me. I don't mean to harsh on anyone else's mellow, just not for me I guess! Anyone else?
Languages in the EU
I'm about to sound like the ignorant American I am, so I apologize in advance! We're looking at a trip to Germany, and possibly Prague, and we've noticed that a lot of the hotel names are French and a couple hotels that aren't named in French have replied to comments with things like "Bonjour! etc etc" What's up with this? Is French just the most commonly spoken common language, even in Germany and Czechia? (I know that Germany and Czechia have their own languages, of course.) Or is it something else?
There's no concise way to turn concise into a noun
You can speak concisely, or prefer concise writing, but not quite with concision. I prefer conciseness? Conciquity? Concisement? Why is there no noun for this word??

I just think this is a really helpful and insightful comment, that deserves to be highlighted.
Is there a crypto tipping bot on Lemmy?
Back in the day, before r implemented rewards, people would just tip each other for useful/insightful/whatever comments in cryptos like Doge or Reddcoin, even BTC before it became too expensive to tip with. I know we can use Mastodon bots here, but I have no idea what's available.
Someone could also make a new coin specifically for Lemmy. Maybe Beancoin. 😁 🫘🫛
