Mary Miller, the Republican who called Roe's repeal a “victory for white life,” now wants “In God We Trust” stamped across every federal building in America. That's what she's working on instead of helping Americans. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/mary-mille...

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

I just finished reading Apple in China. A fascinating and insightful book about how Apple was able to scale up manufacturing in China and up-skilled China to the point that Apple’s reliance on China represents a huge risk and makes Apple’s current lofty position and valuation seem rather tenuous.

A brief but neat mention of Australia's peak fire season (October) on Land Line today. ABC pulled the fire spread video from this lnkd.in/gwbtsMBV site I set up to provide updated and dwnloadble animations of the fire season. Seeing stuff used and being useful is a great motivator to keep on.

Today is a good day for Australians to be smug about gun bans, compulsory voting, preferential voting, an independent AEC, an independent judiciary, democratically-regulated speech and a cultural default to “yeah, nah” when people turn cooker. #auspol

The final approval of the 45-year expansion of Woodside’s North West Shelf gas export terminal is equivalent to building 12 new coal power stations. It will undermine the nation's energy security, drive up energy prices & is the greatest giveaway of Australian natural resources ever. Media release

I am not going to support the confirmation of a federal prosecutor who wants to rewrite the basic history of January 6th and who believes the overturning of Roe v. Wade was the right decision.   Serrano is far out of step with Washington state values.
