More power to her. I didn't vote in that race the last time because I couldn't tolerate Amodei.

I hate this.

NEW: The FAA predicted Elon Musk’s Starship would cause “minor or minimal” disruption. Then the rockets exploded twice in three months over busy airspace. Flight data reveals how many planes scrambled to protect passengers and avoid burning debris.

For word geeks. At least it was interesting to me!

Despite the Trump administration’s efforts to memory-hole Jan. 6, thousands of videos from the riot live on ProPublica’s website and other places. Additionally, much of the deleted DOJ database can be found on the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine. (Published Jan. 2025)

I have been working on this (Northern Nevada, USA). 🌱

As of this week, millions of Americans are now paying thousands more for health insurance. If the President and Congressional GOP think Washington has the capacity to "run" Venezuela right now, why won't they fix the insurance cost crisis they've created here at home?

"in the presence of a vast crowd composed mostly of earth's refuse . . . " There are too many good quotes in this to put in a post--it's worth going to the link and reading the whole thing.

We are not, have never been and never will be a Christian nation. We're a secular nation where you're free to believe whatever you want.

2025: Web pages vanished. Links broke. Public data disappeared. But the Internet Archive kept the receipts. From investigative reports to video features, these stories show why preserving the web became one of the year’s defining information battles. ➡️ blog.archive.org/2025/12/22/t... 🧵

Did you hear about the new Trump-class ships? When you send them to battle, they suddenly get bone spurs and turn the other way.

Happy Solstice! It means more to me than any other related holiday. For me, it's a day to look back at the previous year and forward to the next.

I want to believe this. "Audiences are going to start actively seeking out spaces where they can trust that quotes are real, that photographs are not digitally generated . . . The publishers that create those spaces, and the distribution networks to support them, are going to thrive."

Long live newspapers! I read one every day until our local one became worthless. I still use the digitized ones for genealogy.

PSA: We don't say "skeet" or "reskeet" here. It's "post" or "repost." If you chose to leave Twitter, why do you want to bring part of it with you?

In 1989, five teenage boys were wrongfully convicted of the rape of a jogger in Central Park. Today marks 23 years since DNA evidence helped free Exonerated Five. Their legacy continues to resonate across media, government and policy reform. Read: https://bit.ly/491s1j7

Kaine: "I couldn't watch that video and say, 'Okay, America says that's okay,' then think about McCain getting shot down in North Vietnam & say, 'But it would've been wrong for the North Vietnamese to kill them rather than capture them.'
