Here’s something that’s really important for everyone to understand. If we design our cities just for cars, they fail everyone, including drivers. If we design our cities with many great CHOICES in how to get around, they work better for everyone, including drivers. Spread the word.

Okay! Update on the Pollinator Summit #science #pollinators There were a lot of neat talks on a lot of things, from bat pollination to butterflies in fossils. But here's the biggest take aways: things are a little scary. But lots of people are working together to help the pollinators! 1/thread

In case you missed it... Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp) IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. Now--shocking!--they are flooding Threads with ads. Time to leave that cylon farm behind, people: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

It’s been a year to the day we bought (and then didn’t, for reasons we still don’t fully know) InfoWars. We’re still trying. In the year since, we built The Onion into one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. I’m so proud of this place. I’m proud we do hard stuff. Thank you for caring.

It’s wild that advocating for the planet and people is still considered radical.

What is an #EcoCivilisation? What are its values? Why do we need one and what will the Establishment do to maintain business as usual? Most importantly, what can each of us do to live an #EcoCivilization into being? accidentalgods.life/eco-civilisa... #AccidentalGods #Podcast

The cylons are coming for us

Can you imagine what the US would look like today had Al Gore won 25 years ago?

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow. She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

#3Things for MON: Day of Jasmine & Moonflower 1. Watching old obligations fall away is the dopamine I needed 2. 💚💙🏈#Sea-HAWKS! 3. Hard to eat 🥗 this time of year? Homemade ranch dressing a la #UncleDans fixes that for me

Can you imagine how different the country would feel about Dems right now if, instead of caving, they had all donated their salaries during the shutdown to food banks in their districts? They would have survived (they still have health coverage), people would have food & they would have been heroes.

Why yes, in fact, I would much prefer to ....do guerilla yardwork in wind/rain, shredding my nails, worsening my trigger fingers, torquing my back, aggravating my bursitis.... than doomscroll. Don't mind me, I'll be making mud, shoveling compost, and soaking in Epsom salts until Thanksgiving.
