Wow, how many things does this apply to?

I try not to post political stuff, but people need to be reminded of this once in a while. My parents both served in WW2 because of this.

Can I get an "Amen"?

What is going on with skeets about movies? Since yesterday, 90% of my feed is about movies????? I keep hitting "show less like this", but it doesn't seem to help.

You can't blame them for not wanting to visit the meth addicts that live downstairs.

Your reminder that Humboldt Fog cheese, Humboldt County, CA, the Humboldt penguin (Spheniscus humboldti),and the Humboldt Current that allows wine grapes to grow in Chile are all named for an 18th C gay scientist whose love letters were all burned and who left his entire estate to his “valet.” 🏳️‍🌈

My cartoon for this week’s @newscientist.com

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

My Indie Bookstore Day haul. @scalzi.com I even scored a signed copy of your new one as well as an older one i somehow overlooked. I'll be reading them soon.... although I currently have 43 other books technically in front of them 🤔

I got a text message today about a YouTube live stream tonight: The People's State of the Union. No clue as to whether this is TrumpAmerica spewing propaganda or some attemp at a rational rebuttal. Any ideas?

Well.... 1 week down, 207 to go. Are we gonna make it? 🙄

CARTOON OF THE DAY

OK, so I just watched two big-ass grown men on a ring having a pillow fight. They looked pretty serious about it. Apparently there is a PFC - Pillow Fight Championship. I promise I am not making this up. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillow_...

We've just reelected senile granddad to lead us. God help us all.

I got your back....

The upside of Trump’s taunting Canada is that we’ll get more news clips of actual leaders pushing back on him instead of our steady diet of “Chris Coons thinks this idea has merit”

@support.bsky.team what happened to the "show less/more like this" button for posts?

Are you listening @scalzi.com ?

This week's "interesting chips" haul. 5 flavors to sample. One of my connections at that other place used to post her hauls, so I'm keeping the tradition alive.

I love my library system! 8 local libraries that share resources. I go through at least a book a week, sometimes 2 or 3. And they sponsor civic meetings, social gatherings, and educational seminars. Plus they entertain and enlighten kids.

I try to avoid politics here, it's my refuge from the insanity. But this....

One of the small details that will annoy me about the Trump presidency is that he will be in charge of our country's 250th anniversary. It will be sad....

Facts matter. Science saves lives. Anti-science destroys them.
