Greetings. My name is Bare. Things I love: 🗣Listening to music 🗣Listening to and commenting on debates of theology, evolution, cosmology, and philosophy 🗣Photography with my old cell phone 🗣 Playing warrior in World of Warcraft: pre-expanions 🗣Cats and dogs I have no products or sites to promote.

Prosperity preachers should all go to federal prison. The notion of leveraging religion to commit people to spending money they don't have makes me so angry.

And when people put God above human rights, equality, science, and the Constitution, everything else suffers. We’ve seen what happens when religion takes priority over people. That’s why secular government matters.

I'm more tired, day after day, than I've felt in over a month. Maybe my body struggles with the transition from summer to fall. Maybe it's the stress.

Fuck Tony Hinchcliff, Matt Rife, Shane Gillis, Rob Schneider, Joe Rogan, Greg Gutfeld and every other MAGA joke-thief “comedian” whose social media numbers have been inflated this whole time by Russian bot farms. And fuck this world for not caring even a little.

I sampled chili peppers from my friend Brian's garden. Serrano, Trinidad Scorpion of some variety, and Carolina Reaper. This is the third time I've done such a sampling. Ouch 🥵

Why must the elderly insist on coming to medical appointments stinking up the fucking waiting area? The same perfumes I have smelled for 4.5 decades. Masks don't alleviate my discomfort.

"Essentially what we have in this generation of what we call AI is a business where there's 10,000 mostly white men who are benefiting, and eight billion people around the world who are being either exploited, at a minimum, or directly harmed by the success of those 10,000.

Childhood memory: At 5 years old I was dropped off at school when there was a scheduled late start. That means no other kids were outside. My kindergarten teacher, Mrs Judy W., was the first person I saw inside. She was not expecting to find a student waiting in the hall. I have no answers of why.

To the people complaining these sex abuse cases have created a world where men now have to think 10 times before they touch a woman. Yes, that's the point. It's called consent. Welcome to human decency.

People aren’t faking their disabilities, they’re faking being well. We know society hates us. We know we will be judged for using assistive devices. Many of us take years to get the courage to lean in to accommodations. Stop judging. Help us build a more inclusive world.

Maybe my favorite documentary is about this person and her legacy

#tdih 1962, "Silent Spring" by Rachel Carson published, exposed impact of pesticides on environment. Carson was vilified: called a Communist, disloyal, unscientific, and hysterical. Sound familiar? Attacks on truth tellers, with media complicity. See⬇️🧵 www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/si...

I learned of Bitcoin in ~2009(+/- 1 year) from a coworker. I had heard various explanations, none of which made any sense. This excerpt from "The Nerd Reich" makes it plain. Cryptocurrency mining wastes electricity. Bitcoin only increases in value if people buy the scheme of it all.

In my early 20s I had a brush with Ron Paul followers. A new friend of mine, who had attended the same high school as I, invited me to a campaign meeting. Paul wasn't at that meeting. I didn't understand politics and wasn't interested after that. I had no idea of the racist history of the man. Lucky

For nine years Minnesota has ranked as a national leader in evidence-based decision making. That’s nine years of data driven investments in the things that matter most - like paid leave, school meals, and our nation-leading child tax credit. www.kimt.com/news/gov-wal...

Big news: The family of Tierra Walker, who died after she couldn't get an abortion, is suing a slate of Texas actors in state court, including AG Ken Paxton. They say the state ban is unconstitutional. This is the first suit of its kind. 19thnews.org/2026/09/texa...

It's a damn shame we've come to this as a species. I support sex workers on principle.

For @playboy.com, I spoke with sex workers around the country who are organizing for self-defense with firearms education, carry permit classes, and gun clubs. As one organizer told me, “It’s very much this ‘stay ready so you ain’t got to get ready’ type thing.” www.playboy.com/read/politic...
