I don't think Iran wants him dead. Why assassinate the man doing more damage to America before breakfast than they could do in a decade?

Let this be the needed turning point.

General Mamdani, Sir.

Adopt me.

A golden heart he had, full of tears. A most wonderful, giving human being.

As an asthmatic, I pay attention to any attempt to clean the air of pollution. As a human, I do the same for all kinds of pollutants, including those that destroy the mind and heart aka the soul.

Holy shit, we're actually getting there. "UCLA researchers develop low-cost blood test to detect multiple cancers and other diseases from a single sample [—] In tests, MethylScan detected about 63% of cancers across all stages and roughly 55% of early-stage cancers." (from April) #ShareGoodNewsToo

"A zest for experiment." Exactly. I still have the zest for experiment. As a result, I keep finding new answers to old problems. It hurts me to see the opposite amongst the vast majority of health professionals et al.

In this appallingly stupid time we are living in, with America's current aversion to facts and science, it is fascinating how the Ancient Greeks calculated the circumference of the Earth so accurately. May we return to a time when curiosity overcame ignorance and science overcame superstition.

We just won a court order stopping the merger of Paramount and Warner Bros. while our lawsuit continues.     We’re going to keep fighting to keep costs down for consumers, protect jobs, and stop this illegal merger.

This is because we still don't and won't teach everyone from an early age what power is and how to wield it, wisely. So, of course ignorance (and incompetence) will seek out power and abuse others with it. It's our own damn fault.

We mustn't assume that everyone knows what's going on. I just met a cashier nearby who didn't know she had a mayor, despite living/working in NYC. Two years after 9/11, I got a letter from someone who had only just learned about it, finally asking me how I was. I don't know what to do about this.

“Men are so quick to blame the gods: they say that we devise their misery. But they themselves—in their depravity—design grief greater than the griefs that fate assigns.” - Homer, The Odyssey, Book I, lines 32–34 Translated by Allen Mandelbaum, 1990

This speech shows the strength of his spine and convictions that I saw in his eyes before I even cast my vote. We can each choose to be a good leader. "One day, everyone will have always been against this." - Omar El Akkad "It always seems impossible until it's done. Let's do it, together." 🫶 💜

Whatever you do, do not assume that the good side has got this in a landslide. Let us learn our lesson so that we don't ever repeat this ever again in any future generation.

"All comedians are, in a way, anarchists. Our job is to make fun of the existing world." - Bob Newhart The legendary Bob Newhart, American comedian & actor, who was known for his deadpan & stammering delivery style, passed on this day, 2024 at 94. One of the funniest people who ever lived!

Thank you Liz Oyer for standing up against this corrupt administration. TT: @lawyer.oyer

I'm so grateful to you, @mayor.nyc.gov, brought to tears grateful. You're doing true good. Please hold onto your integrity. Never lose it. May all of us seek to be leaders as we are, no waiting to be elected mayor, just good leaders in our own lives in service to each other with joy.

Today, New Yorkers marched for Good Trouble, and left behind flowers & banners outside 26 Federal Plaza, a place that’s turned into one of fear & violence for immigrant families. Our message is simple. We see you, we love you, we’re with you, and we won’t stop until everyone is free.

Don’t ever let anyone bother you; let it be their karma, alone. Do stop people from bothering others; this cleans or banks your karma.

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” ― Mark Twain

Feel it, don't memorize it. Ain't that the Holy Truth.

As an asthmatic who has to fight over and over again to get my meds covered ... I'm grateful to AOC, but now even more angry than before. The price of my asthma medication that doesn't cause me bad side effects is outrageous and unconscionable, and no generic available.

My heart soars almost every time this man posts. He doesn't post self aggrandizement or propaganda. He posts ACTIONS & RESULTS. I love my mayor.

Worship not. Condemn not. Learn absolutely. Extremes are killing us. Worship and condemnation are extremes. It's time to learn, instead. If you must worship something, worship perfection. If you must condemn something, condemn the lie. If you must learn something, learn the truth.

It is sadistic. I'm born of covert sadists. My ex was one, too. They're everywhere. It's pathological sickness. These asswipes like to play at war. It's sadistic. Too many of you still haven't woken up. Wake the fuck up.

Rewatched The Poseiden Adventure. It's about what it takes to survive when all odds are against you ... Like what is happening to us, now, on an emotional level. Maybe now is the time for brave emotions. I dunno. I'm floundering.

Honest. Accountable. Saneism?

Take stock of what you've got. Then make it saner. Mamdani style socialism. My style socialism. Socialism might be a misnomer here. Sanism?

The great escape 🤣🐈😹 #CatsOfBluesky #Caturday #Cats

I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Tis soothing this triggered beast:

Feeling reliant on social media "likes" is the equivalent of needing external validation. My wish for all good and caring people is that they are content with self and higher-self validation. Let the "likes" be the icing on the cake.

If you meditate or pray or whatever you want to call it, and don't know what to focus on? Focus on this: May all of humanity prioritize whole truth through utmost clarity. Amen. Fini. Hell yeah.
