Some people out there seem to be confused, but I always vote in every local and every national election for every office and every ballot initiative since I was 18 years old. Some of my greatest civil rights heroes have fought and died so that we can all vote and I honor their memory in the ballot box every single time. \

Lol this is so true 😂 Men’s shampoo (or any other shower product) sucks ass. It’s why I started using women’s everything, back at 16, waay before even starting HRT. Still cis tho :3

It was just after 2 a.m. on a pitch-black Friday morning when Bernadette Greene-Placentia’s life changed. The Democratic candidate for Congressional District 8 strolled across a parking lot to repair a damaged campaign sign. It was a routine she’d followed all summer. This time, she only made it a few yards.

The Federal Communications Commission is considering a request by a conservative group to loosen rules on political robocalls, including those with artificial intelligence-generated voices, before November’s midterm elections.

Inspired by a comment where one said he wouldn’t even visit the US and he already lived there, i got curious about whether people dream of living in any other specific country.

Elon Musk’s EV company is running a social-media campaign blaming European traffic deaths on red tape. Its safety claims don’t hold up, experts say, but regulators are starting to buckle.

I replied to someone saying that the USSR defeated the Nazis saying that it was a group effort. Got into an argument and called a Nazi repeatedly because “I was mad that the USSR defeated the Nazis and hated them for it” which is ridiculous. This isn’t the first time that’s happened on Lemmy. What’s up with that?

Republicans are entering the final month of the midterm campaign increasingly anxious that the $1 billion at their disposal may not be enough to fend off sweeping losses as the party reckons with President Donald Trump’s unpopularity, persistent cost concerns and the fallout from the war in Iran.

fyi: it’s “drugs”

Wētāpunga or Little Barrier Island giant wētā ( Deinacrida heteracantha : Orthoptera: Anostostomatidae) underwent significant decline across Northland and Auckland, New Zealand, and by mid‐20th Century was restricted to Te Hauturu‐o‐Toi/Little Barrier Island. However, surveys of wētāpunga during the early 1990s reported low numbers and concerns that the population was declining. Subsequently, a recovery plan specified the need for at least four wild populations. After Pacific rat ( Rattus exulans ) eradication from Te Hauturu‐o‐Toi in 2004, the abundance of wētāpunga was resurveyed annually for 5 years from 2005 with low detection rates. Here we report the establishment of two ex situ colonies using cohorts of 12 individuals collected from Te Hauturu‐o‐Toi every 3–5 years. Over 11,000 wētāpunga were produced for translocations from 2010. Ten new populations have been founded on eight predator‐free islands and inside two predator‐proof fenced areas on the mainland. Post‐release monitoring on Motuora and Tiritiri Matangi Islands has verified fourth‐ or fifth‐generation individuals at two release areas on each island. Ranked as Nationally Endangered in the New Zealand Threat Classification System at the start of the recovery programme the threat ranking for wētāpunga has improved to Nationally Recovering.
