Every time I hear Tom Homan's name this flashes...

Now THAT'S a Block Party. Civil depolarization from face-to-face interaction and shared goals. #civilution www.longertables.org

As a reminder for our current times.

I know there's a lot of shit going on right now, but don't let this go under your radar.

Freedom of Speech fulfills Freedom to Hear

Listen to this! You won't believe how much it identifies with what we are living through today. Oh, and community is the antidote. #civilution

"Local communities and local involvement, in the health and welfare of your neighborhood, of your community, are very important steps for stimulating that reciprocal affectional bonds that are so important for our survival as a species." - Reid Meloy An incredibly important listen. #civilution

Today's date is 3 squared/4 squared/5 squared

American's Satisfaction with the U.S. Republicans - 76% Democrats - < 1% A 75% delta.

Freedom of speech goes two ways. One way is the freedom to speak. The other way is the freedom to listen. Limiting what we can listen to reduces our choice of what to believe.

Solarge is in discussions to open a plant in Illinois. They will build an adjacent solar farm to power the plant on an unusable brownfield parcel where asbestos was manufactured and next to a closed coal plant that left behind a distressed economy. Over 500 green energy jobs. Genius!

Peace and Strength to Charlie's family

When a reservoir recedes in the fall this is what replaces it.

It's fantastic to see that a new community-owned solar farm in East Sussex has been granted planning permission 🎉🙌 This 5MW project, set on 12 hectares of low-grade farmland, will not only generate clean, local power but also create new wildlife meadows! Fab work from Energise Sussex Coast 🤝

I used to think that religious perversion provoked a person's bitterness and callousness toward family and community that didn't meet its standards but I've come to the conclusion that it's just extortion using imaginary threats, all for power and control.

My mother taught me to always be polite, so... Fuck you very much, Donald

Black cats? Sorry, I haven't seen any. #caterday

I have two books and 14 articles on the list… www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Attended the 2017 Women's March in Denver. Love the sign in the center.

Enjoy Cultural Contribution Day

Sponsor block parties everywhere!

If the tariffs are to be refunded, the public probably won't see any. Just the companies. Economists call it cantillon.

Stop complaining and start acting. Offer solutions instead. Here's one. Don't just count on partisan filtered information coming from the government, establish the Civil Impact Institute. C2IT is separate from the political sphere. www.civilution.org/post/cultura...

Here's an idea. Why not C2IT (Civil Impact Institute). A publicly funded, community resourced organization providing factual measures of personal, cultural, economic, and ecosystem impacts instead of obfuscation and manipulation by self serving partisan politics. www.civilution.org/post/cultura...

In all the chaos, here's 10 hours of a cab view train ride to the Norwegian Arctic Circle. Incredibly beautiful and peaceful. This one is spring. There are all four seasons. youtu.be/cNiN7gOcNI4?...

When there was plenty of thornscrub, we destroyed most of it. Now that only fragments remain, we’ll bulldoze what’s left—this time in the name of “security.” Biodiversity can always be sacrificed for whatever fear is convenient. 1/2 www.fws.gov/press-releas...

Just casually walking my dog when nature casts some extraordinary beauty on us.

"Capitalism is in service of the Superorganism, It is just the latest operating system running on our ancient social primate hardware. Swap the software without upgrading the hardware and our drives for status and surplus wins, and we still get the same inequality, overshoot, and crash."

Since the CDC is imploding, here is credible info regarding COVID vaccines. #CDC #Covid #RobertFKennedy www.scientificamerican.com/article/who-...

Really @bennet.senate.gov and @hickenlooper.senate.gov ? I mean, really??

It's one of two things: 1. Either he truly believes what he's saying - then he's an idiot 2. Or he knows damn well he's lying - then he's a racist

AI feedback loop is incredibly dangerous: AI can be seeded to create language signals embedded in text that only it knows. Destructive values like only hiring people with dark triad traits is added to language AI models. AI written and reviewed resumes promote those people to higher positions.

Texas Rep. Ann Johnson ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻⭐ WOW, what a woman. What an American 🇺🇸💙

Profound, disturbing, and eye opening. Strap in and listen to this dense and "how do we ground ourselves in biophysical truths?" perspective from @natehagens.bsky.social www.thegreatsimplification.com/frankly-orig... #civilution

When we make it through all this chaos, and I truly believe we will because of the underlying spirit of our country, we will need to have the courage to adopt sorely needed Holy Cow ideas. Here's one. #civilution www.civilution.org/post/tax-the...

This is how you tax the wealthy. Strip away all their tools to manipulate and avoid their share of taxes. www.civilution.org/post/tax-the...

Flow Tax - Unconditional, Unavoidable, Automatic, Non-partisan, Tax equitable, Funds civil stewardship (UBI, health, education, energy transition), No federal debt, No IRS, and 98% lower taxes. It's truly amazing to me that it gets so little coverage. #civilution www.civilution.org/post/tax-the...

"Tax the wealthy!" We try, but their minions heavily manipulate the 100 year old, 7,000 page tax code to their benefit. The only long term fix is to replace it with one that is unconditional and unavoidable. Flow Tax - real tax equality #civilution www.civilution.org/post/tax-the...

Our cultural participation is being dictated by currency. If you have little currency, you can't participate. UBI allows all of us to participate in our culture, to find our own purpose, contribute in our own way, deliver with our own strengths. It's civil stewardship. #Civilution

Every time I get a wapo alert (at least one a day) my first thought is always "Oh gawd, what has he done this time"

Long evolved human communication is much more than just written words: Gesticulations Body movements Facial expressions Voice inflections Pheromones AI and social media has stripped us of this Time to rediscover face-to-face interaction via community to heal our differences Block parties!!

Trump and Gabe Evans have made business planning impossible with their chaos. And Colorado workers pay the price. Another clean energy manufacturing project canceled—costing our district good-paying jobs. Unacceptable.

The math really does work - Flow Tax, 98% lower taxes, automatic, unconditional, unavoidable - with no more IRS, federal debt, and a UBI of $24k. Scott Smith goes through the numbers in detail. It's time for civil courage. www.thefoundationforabettereconomy.org

I would very much recommend watching McFarland, USA, especially in this current environment. Based on a true story. Currently on Disney+ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McFarla...

Heard this on the trail today... Growing old is mandatory Growing up isn't

Total national gross income in 2025 is $30 trillion. Total transaction volume is $6.2 quadrillion. So extract 20% of income to cover federal budget or 0.5% transactions to cover fed/state/UBI/free health and school/renewable energy transition/and no federal debt. www.civilution.org/post/tax-the...
