“We are, each of us, largely responsible for what gets put into our brains, for what, as adults, we wind up caring for and knowing about. No longer at the mercy of the reptile brain, we can change ourselves.” - Carl Sagan, Cosmos

I couldn't resist adding a comment to @jeffmightbwrong.bsky.social's funny af commentary about groupthink (essentially)--link in second note. And in the spirit of a picture being worth a thousand words, you can skip my blather and just check out this gem from @grimmgreen.bsky.social. . 1/2

Fantastic interview between Global Action to End Smoking President Cliff Douglas and @grimmgreen.bsky.social. Watch in full here👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xj3...

This is the worst #news ever @grimmgreen.bsky.social sorry to hear! 😔 The State #Vape Bans Are Worse Than I Thought youtu.be/EVM1nRnQflQ?... via @YouTube

Finally got a little bit of time to myself and we’re playing new video games

I'm saying this completely sober from any substances Why are words so weird? Look at any word long enough and it starts making no sense. i'm doing a thumbnail and i've been looking at the word "COOL" for 10 min now. COOL ... COOL... COOL? COOL? what is that?

Is VFSFCA too long of an acronym? I was inspired by @grayjaynine.bsky.social Vapers For A Smoke Free California should exist and I should create it.

Doing all the DC things today before I freeze to death

Thinking about the Supreme Court today. I’m gonna take some time to read some other opinions, listen to the transcript and do a little bit of homework before I give my final thought on YouTube Otherwise, I had an unbelievable time meeting some pretty unbelievable people. Yes Cliff Douglas 🤯

Tomorrow morning at 10:30 AM the Supreme Court of the United States will be hearing the case of Wages and White Lion versus the Food and Drug Administration This is a pretty big deal and I’m trying to temper my expectations. Here’s how the 5th circuit ruled

Jen is a writer for CNN Jen doesn’t understand vaping or harm reduction Jen’s article is full of wrong information including her saying “no evidence e-cigs help smokes quit” while providing a link in the article showing they do. Don’t be like Jen t.co/PSlBTEl11L

I know I’ve been calling certain devices “mini vans” lately. This is also a “mini van” but like… a kinda cooler one 😅 Oxva VPrime

My most sincere apologies, but all regular streaming for the next two weeks is canceled. The thanksgiving/Supreme Court week really crept up on me. I’m WAY behind with my content. Happy Monday

Completely anecdotal observation here. I just did my “mail run” down to my old neighborhood in Hollywood. SO MANY PEOPLE SMOKING CIGARETTES it honestly feels like an uptick in recent years. I can only assume the CA Dept of public healths anti-vaping messaging is finally working.

Just as a general blanket statement I don't take people seriously, who use the word "woke" as a negative. When someone complains about "woke" I just assume they are a deeply unserious person.

Fixing to do some hot VLOGGING action tonight. Jim from AVM is stopping by to discuss next week's SCOTUS date with FDA. 4:30pm PST every thusday! youtube.com/live/dQiEJ_b...

ZYN and nicotine pouches are most likely the safest way possible to ingest a relatively benign drug. Ask Sweden, Follow science smokefreesweden.org

If any folks out there looking to follow people in the tobacco harm reduction space. This is a solid place to start 👇 2025 is shaping up to be a potentially huge year for THR. We’re gonna reduce harm all over the world. #BecauseScience

Possible new head of @fda.gov incoming. He hasn’t said much about nicotine or vaping yet, but his Hopkins ties worry me because Hopkins I’m not familiar with Marty Marakay, but I’m very familiar with Hopkins www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/welln...

May people praising this platform for it's vibes. Cooler people, less nazis, actual moderation but... There are equal levels of unscientific and anti-harm reduction misinformation on both BSKY and X Watching leftys trash RFK for using ZYN is unscientific, and wrong www.fdli.org/2017/08/spot...

How does this platform handle YT links? I recently reviewed the mini van of mod pods 😅 👇 Feelin XR Pro Is A Mini Van youtu.be/_q3woxK35iQ

on Tuesdays we fiddle 11:30am ish www.twitch.tv/grimmgreen

Did that classic thing tonight where I formatted a memory card that had video files I needed.... i'm calling it a day. But i'm never giving up... for this person

I just heard someone say “Remember, there is no punishment as long as your crimes hurt the right people” Pass it on

Because it needs to be spread everywhere. #Sweden just became a smoke free country. The 2nd smoke free country in the world! They have actually made cigarette smoking history along with all the death and disease that comes with it. How though? smokefreesweden.org

No your vape stuff is disorganized Here’s to a full on busy ass week!!

I wanted to believe

Every product they call out on this page is a failing of @fda.gov and @fda.gov only. They could have reasonably regulated vaping products 14 years ago. Brian King loves his "civil money penalties" though. Sounds like science to me! truthinitiative.org/research-res...

WE STREAMIN TONIGHT!!! Every Thursday 4:30pm PST On YouTube and Twitch youtube.com/live/Epr4F7J...

I'm doing things here as well. I've truly loved my time with Twitter, and I still... despite everything... enjoy that platform. I've spent exactly 24 hours on @bsky.app and even just the atmosphere is a little nicer. I think imma stay a while and see what's what
