Decided to read The Iliad of Homer that I found at a thrift store a few weeks ago.

I am currently participating in the Stand Up for Science webinar. You too can join the live event right now. @standupforscience.net events.standupforscience.net/stand-up-for...

Just wanted to pipe in to say I have seen a flurry of anti-climate change video shorts on Facebook. Has anyone else noticed it? Seems the climate science community needs to be more involved with communicating the science and presenting facts that disprove the falsehoods.

I have never seen an episode of Colbert or Kimmell. What have I missed?

It's more evident that data centers are burdening our communities though there isn't any discussion about their impact upon the communities providing the minerals used in the large array of computers. Let's not exclude those communities in our discussions. capitalbnews.org/congo-mine-c...

I am trapped and can't get up. She may be tiny and only 7 lbs but I can't get her off me. 😀

WATCH: This is my favourite thing on the internet right now. Well done Norway! youtube.com/watch?v=T4Up...

Do you have any hesitation about creating content knowing that AI will rob it from you? It seems human creativity and publishing could be chilled by AI stealing content without permission, credit or renumeration.

I seriously want to escape the META environment however I can't find a replcement for FB Marketplace. OfferUp isn't an option since Andreessen is a partial owner. Where are other good places to post and find goods locally?

Google robs creators of their content then cuts them out of the traffic stream. techcrunch.com/2026/05/19/g...

It was quite clear many years ago and now overtly obvious that politicians and corporations have no intent to address climate change. Anyone expecting them to change is foolish. For us to curb the current trajectory of climate change we must attack it from the individual + collective level.

5th is a bit tired after a day playing outside. I named her 5th because she was the 5th from a litter of feral kittens I trapped 1.5 yrs ago. #Caturday

If only Oprah would give away induction hobs. "You get an induction hob! You get an induction hob! Everyone gets an induction hob!"

The majority of Dems believe in climate change and even have great concern about it. That's enough people to influence a significant curb in the current trajectory of climate change. They have the insights and knowledge to do so however they lack the will. Individually & collectively we can do it.

I picked up a single hob induction top at the thrift store last year and fell in love with it. It's amazing how fast it heats and cooks. Last week I found another one and gave it to my girlfriend. She's now an induction convert. Who else uses induction cooking? youtu.be/fn3EsVBPkXY

93 is a bit warm for this time of year in Boise. Let's get back down to the 70s and 80s.

We need an alternative to FB Marketplace so that we can totally divorce ourselves from the site. Does anyone have suggestions? Anyone interested in creating a new marketplace?

Craigslist is the new Blockbuster. I find the site to be totally useless. The method to contact sellers is outdated and never gets a response.

Here are two of my recent thrift store finds that I purchased for $1 each. Both are quite collectable and worthy of reading for a historical perspective.

This may appear to be unappealing to some but this vegan skillet of fried potatoes, tempeh, broccoli, spinach, onions and sliced tomatoes cooked on my induction cooktop is delicious.

I ❤️ my induction stove top. 😀

The further you have to go for stuff is quite profitable for the rich and very costly to you. 15 minute cities save time, money and add to personal wellbeing.

Mastodon is up and running. It's a good idea to have an account other than just here on Bluesky. mastodon.world/@MichaelBishop

So, insiders at Monsanto ghostwrote on the safety of glyphosate. Seems that should have come into question and attention brought to it earlier than it did. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Cameryn Lovett says she was responding to a student’s anti-gay remarks when the district gave her an ultimatum.

Magyar's defeat of Orban shows that things can change. Now we aim for the mid-terms here in the U.S. to begin the change in tide. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

My girlfriend stopped by to visit and my cat, Lexi, was quick to come out to greet her before she was able to get out of the car.

The state of Idaho has banned govermental offices from displaying LGBTQ+ flags otherwise be fined $2,000 a day. So, the city of Boise did a run around and has put up signs, lights and even wrapped their flagpoles in rainbow colors. 🏳️‍🌈🌈

We call ourselves intelligent but then we are stupid enough to destroy our home.

Each of these paintings consist of many brushstrokes which collectively make up an image. I look at each brushstroke as a representation of the way an individual lives their life. How we live collectively is exhibited through our impact upon the planet.

Some personal news! I've written a new book, on the threat of violence over #water and how to move from conflict to cooperation. It'll be released in November, but it's now available for pre-order! "When the Well is Dry: How Water Fuels Violence and Shapes Peace" www.amazon.com/When-Well-Dr...

I work at Idaho's largest hospital/employer (St Luke's Hospital) and this is the extent of their vegan meal options.

Has anyone else noticed the bots busy following people today?

Wow... I am browsing the released files. There's so much to sort through.

Saw a person driving a Tesla today with a Don't Tread on Me license plate and a bumper sticker that said "Saving More Money to Buy More Guns." So, the right is buying Teslas.

Just found out my cat also enjoys watching the Flip Wilson show. She has sat here watching it for 20 minutes. #cat #flipwilson #catTV

Just caught the last half of the Flip Wilson show. I enjoyed watching him as a kid. Tonight he had Sha Na Na on.

We have lost another civil rights icon. In 1955 at 15 Claudette Colvin refused to give up her seat on the bus. Her actions preceeded the more well known actions of Rosa Parks by 9 months. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I grew up watching and still watch All in the Family nearly every night. It's tough watching it and know the horrific dead that Rob Reiner suffered. I saw him and his daughter Romy once at Java, a coffee shop in Sun Valley, Idaho.

This article from Scientific American in 2017 gives a great visual of the variation of sex beyond the binary XX and XY. Information like this needs to be more visible to the general public so that they have a better understanding of the matter. www.scientificamerican.com/article/beyo...

It's an end to an era. Rogue went out of business last month and I am stocking up before Dead Guy is gone for good. #DeadGuy #ale #Rogue

I imagine he will still rob the minerals and other resources from many of those nations.

I picked up about 400 VHS tapes at a thrift store this weekend to add to my collection. Here are two that I am eager to watch. 😀

Individuals are CEOs, community leaders, shareholders, business owners, mothers, fathers, students, politicians and even yourself. They are the ones who can make the change we need for a good future. Let's stop saying that individuals have no impact upon climate change.

Was just talking with two young 20 something girls about me playing Atari as a kid and they had never heard of it. What is wrong with kids these days? 😂

Trump is treating the place as if it was his castle. Maybe we need to start referring to it as the White Castle.
