Don’t follow me if you expect an immediate follow back. I will follow you if you make posts that are interesting, engaging, novel, insightful, challenging, creative, or any combination thereof. The cool thing is I can block pointless bigmouths so what I do read is not a waste of time.

I hope California starts trying to influence the US elections. With so many foreign countries and entities trying to manipulate US elections for their own benefit, I sure would like to see Cali do the same, for the benefit is the US.

Generation X (1965–1980): • Ages 46 to 61 • Looking somewhere between 29 and “none of your business” • Didn’t grow up sheltered — we were basically turned loose outdoors • Independent at 10; still refusing to act like adults at 50 • Our childhood would make a modern parent group chat implode

Donald Trump and RFK Jr. cut the team tracking cyclospora by more than 70%. Now we've got a nationwide outbreak. We should be investing in public health — not gutting it.

When Democrats take power, they must immediately cancel all of Elon Musk’s government welfare checks. Like and repost if you want this to happen.

Truncate ICE, but as important, where are the Epstein Files?

Ronald Reagan, a cold man who ignored the AIDS crisis because he was a homophobe and craved the votes of other homophobes, is *not* a reminder of anything good or decent.

A question for the absolutist anti-AI crowd. Exactly which technology have we discovered or created that was turned off and put back in the bottle, so to speak? Please, give me just one invention that we said, oh, no, this is just too dangerous, we are going to pretend we never discovered it.

@larianstudios.com You are doing great work. In re. an occasional GenAI input, people really need to get off their high horses and sanctimonious soapboxes. Oh, no! The Internet takes away from libraries! The printing press takes away from scribes! You all just keep on making great games.

‘Aight. I’ve done my Joplin working music list, I’ve done delta blues; now what?

Homemade 8” base moulding, Janis Joplin, and big windows in a cold sunny afternoon. There are worse ways to spend an afternoon.

For the old timers out there; the last of my stash:

Sunlight = Best Disinfectant

‘You must obey the law!’ No. All ruling bodies are utterly dependent on the submission and complicity of their populace, from North Korea to Norway. Stop paying taxes on time, reshelve things in the wrong place, stay below the speed limit, use cash everywhere, any rule you can break, do so.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

The top health care companies in America spent 95% of their profits to make their CEOs & stockholders obscenely rich. How many Americans would be alive today if those companies spent $2.6 trillion on disease prevention and primary care, instead of stock buybacks and dividends?

@bsky.app Is there anything in the works for a 'hot posts' or 'Everyone's talking about this' function?

I don't understand. If United Healthcare is worried about people's perception and conversation about policies that lead directly to the deaths of patients to maximize stock price, they can simply stop killing people for profit.

Here's another one for yall

It's called The Gulf of Mexico. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

@mcuban.bsky.social Has anyone brought up the mapping? I know a GIS professional who should remain anonymous on a public forum with the skillset to make the maps, but they would need assistance with data gathering.

#congress #119thcongress Calling All Democratic and Independent Congress Members: We do not want bipartisan legislation. We do not want you 'reaching across the aisle'. We want you to throw sand in the gears, delay and deny at every opportunity. Get us to the mid-terms; until then, stonewall.

Can we please arrest Elon Musk? As far as I understand things, accessing classified information on secured networks by uncredentialed individuals is grounds for arrest.

Anyone followed by MoJo will be followed by me. Mother Jones, thank you for decades is unswerving dedication and brutal honesty. We may not always agree, but I subscribe because integrity matters. Your namesake would be proud.

Mixing wood glue 1:4 with water as the additive to curing type/bagged joint compound makes a surprisingly hard surface that can be sanded to a glass like smoothness. I finished the skimcoat finally, and it is amazing. I cannot even dent it with my thumbnail. This room is going to be awesome.

Almost 600,000 Americans are sleeping out on our streets. Millions of people in this country are paying as much as 60% of their limited income on housing. We must invest in low-income and affordable housing. Now.

We are the wealthiest nation on earth. There is no rational reason as to why we are not the healthiest nation on earth. If we’re going to reform our broken and dysfunctional health care system and “Make America Healthy Again,” this is some of what we must do. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

@goddesssawyerr.bsky.social Are you… serious? You have to be joking, right? This is a satire account skewering the ridiculousness of ‘influencers’.

#JimmyCarter President Carter, you were the defining structure of my political stance. One of only four heroes I have ever had. I have tried to emulate you whenever I could. #WhatWouldJimmyDo

Just getting in on the ground floor here. Luigi Mangione was in the right and I have no sympathy for dead CEOs. If that makes me an extremist, NYPD, then you can shove your opinions right up your ass.

#BeJimmyCarter Today I made split pea and ham soup for a neighbor simply because I thought they would enjoy the soup.

Every mention of Jimmy Carter and the Iran hostage crisis needs to include the fact that Reagan and the Republican Party made back room arrangements with the Iranians to delay the hostage release until after the election. So far, I have not seen a single mention of this.

President Carter defined what it means to be a servant leader. He fought for our democracy, our climate, humanity, and civil rights around the world. We can find peace today knowing that he is reunited with the love his life, Rosalynn.

@skepticalsinik.bsky.social Didn’t mean to upset you. I was just having a conversation. Sorry man.

Bow your head and observe, friends, a great man has passed. Jimmy Carter has died.

There is so much beauty and wonder in this planet; a universe terrible and awesome in its breadth and complexity. Why must we pollute nature's glory with fabrications and outright falsehoods like astrology?

Ya know how to make sure everyone starts getting vaccines? Stop making them mandatory, but make them free. Pharma doesn't make any $ from them anyway; after a wave or two of whooping cough rips through the kids of anti-vaxxers, they'll line up around the block. Meantime, we'll all be vaccinated.

'I think' this, 'I have an opinion' that, 'I feel it in my gut' the other thing.. give me documentation, preferrably repeatable and peer reviewed.

@momma861.bsky.social. God isn't real, and neither is the tooth fairy. When you are dead, you are gone; enjoy your life, and let others enjoy theirs.
