Today the President rejected a meeting on preserving healthcare and avoiding a government shutdown, then hours later demanded a federal inquiry into why he had to walk up normal stairs instead of stairs that move. 1,216 days to go.

Travel by electric vehicle, ideally charged from a solar PV system (my two EVs are). If you're renting, switch every light bulb to LED. If you own do this, install optimal insulation, and install a combo of heat pumps, solar thermal & solar PV systems. Train not plane. Keep you pet(s), for love.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

This is our local station. We are deeply saddened at the future loss of one of our allies in the promotion and offering of public education and information resources.

In 2020, Palantir bullied its way into the NHS. Internal emails show it was already the default pick for a £23–24 million patient-data deal months before procurement even ended.

We honor the victims, remember the heroes, and stand united in gratitude for the first responders, military, and civilians who gave so much. May their courage and sacrifice never be forgotten.

This is highly annoying. I'm bilingual, and I like to learn new languages. This does not help me whatsoever, and I dislike that I am forced to have my content auto-translated. It's like the tech giants can't comprehend multilingual people exist, or that we can actively learn other languages too.
