Democrats aren’t the only ones voting for abortion rights, Ohio shows in c/news@lemmy.world

Issue one wasn't about abortion, no matter how much people want it to be. Convoluting it with the November abortion rights issue will only give false confidence for the November vote. It's going to be a much tighter vote than what this was. Plenty of people across the political spectrum saw the long reaching implications passing issue one would have and voted it down for being a power grab.

I agree. There are plenty of people conflating issue 1 and abortion rights, but the reality is issue 1 had nothing to do with abortion rights. I don't think this is a Democrat win, nearly as much as it's being portrayed. Plenty of R's voted it down on it's own merit. LaRose was certainly pushing it to prevent an abortion rights win in November, but after his push to eliminate special elections (not to mention what the proposal actually said) folks across the political spectrum saw it for the power grab it was. Wanting to keep a path for citizen led ballot initiatives does not equal wanting to enshrine abortion rights.

I cannot tell if this is satire or not.

I had one for a couple years, best winter 'coat' I've ever had! You probably shouldn't wear it with just a t-shirt underneath in the freezing snow, but with a sweater - you could wear that in the freezing rain for a while!

I thought it was concrete at first. Reality is far, far worse.

If you count the dash marks on the nails, there is 9 on each.

Puddle of Mudd is like 2000's, too new. It's Hole. Early 90's grunge rock band, lead Courtney Love.

TIL that the BBC had no archival policy until 1978, and many of its old broadcasts were only aired live. A number of BBC broadcasts are lost, including a show featuring a then-unknown Bob Dylan; 97... in c/til@lemmy.world

A lot of the 2nd Doctor is missing, some of the 1st. Some episodes have been animated, but some are only audio and still frames. It's a bit rough to get through.

Well now I don't know. Couple of days ago, if you look at your profile there was a favorites section. That section is gone now....just when I thought I was figuring it out.
