The science of IVF: What to know about Alabama’s ‘extrauterine children’ ruling

It used to be that conservatives found IVF to be evil, and that the children that resulted from it were not even human.

I still believe they believe that. That group of children includes my son. So, you know, when I say this hits personally, I mean it.

That said, they have now created a mythology to punish women and their families by making an embryo a child in the eyes of the law in Alabama. It is meant to muddy the waters, hurt those they do not see as people, and to exert control.

If we ran this country based on facts instead of myths, we wouldn’t be in this place. We would not have judges gleefully harming people for wanting a family.

But we do not live in such a place. The law is used to hurt. The law is used to hate.

Snoop Dogg and Master P sue Walmart and Post for trying to sabotage their cereal

First off, this is pretty good stuff.

Secondly, I am completely sure Walmart is screwing over a small company at the behest of a large supplier. I mean, even at our local Cub, we have to go to the other side of the store to find the stuff. At an end cap. with the discount stuff, facing the wall.

But at least they aren’t overcharging like I have read happens at some stores. I mean, the stuff is good, but not at $10 a box.

So why? Because the makers are “gangster rappers”? Or black?

Instagram and Threads Will Make It Harder to See Political Posts

Wanna see corporations put their thumb on their scale so a rancid rapey racist can win re-election? Here’s Threads silencing voices of those against Trump in an election year.

You know, the platform folks went to when Twitter became a haven for white supremacists.

If you can’t hear the news – and the actual news is VERY conservative in this country – you can’t learn.

Erik Prince Calls for U.S. to Colonize Africa and Latin America

Remember this scumbag? The Blackwater boss who made our actual troops targets because his boys were murderous shitheads? Betsy DeVos’ brother? Yeah, the whole family tree is rotten.

Well, now he wants us back in the empire business. You know, presumably to bring back mass killing and slavery. “The good ol’ days” to him I imagine.

And guess who would gleefully give him the chance to do just that? Same assholes that were keen on separating immigrant families the last time they held power.
