My hot take is that internet access should be treated like a utility Everyone should have access and it should be billed based on usage like water and electricity

Here’s something fun I learned this week If you find yourself in an ER in an abortion ban state and upon intake they discover you’re pregnant, from there on out your care will be different than any non-pregnant person’s. The fetus becomes primary.

20 minutes ago here in Venetie, Alaska, the skies erupted in a beautiful auroral substorm. Here is just one of many real-time videos I recorded during the show to give you a sense of how fast and dynamic the aurora can move.

"The country has invested in, and innovated through, this scientific public service for over a century, not for selling it to the highest bidder, but for the common good. Dismantling NOAA and the National Weather Service is a presidential grift that we must oppose."

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

He is straight up stealing from the American people in plain sight. And he's just crazed and beligerent about all of it. WHERE ARE OUR DEMOCRATIC SENATORS AND LAWYERS? HOW IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE THAT ALL FFOTUS' FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS ARE NOT BEING CONSTANTLY MONITORED AND INVESTIGATED? WTF!

@aoc.bsky.social We as shareholders choose to pay our CEOs 100s of times what their average employee makes. Where do we start to change that?

@aoc.bsky.social I am watching your exchange with Jon Stewart and agree with everything you guys were high-fiving about. However, half of my countrymen voted for the mess we are in. We are the snake eating its own tail. We want a good return for our TSP, 401K, etc. That means huge profits, please!

I see pleas for help by users experiencing pain showing pictures of their desk, a keyboard, a pointing device and a monitor or two. As an ergonomist willing to help, there are a few things missing: - What do you use that for? - How are you using that? - How long/often do you do that? #ergonomics

An interesting finding that abnormal vasculary responses in the brain correlated with cognitive impairment. How do our vascular system, lymphatic system, and amelioid plaques and and tangles interact to produce cognitive impairment? #science scitechdaily.com/usc-study-ex...

Moments ago, the public dancing of Khorumi the Georgian martial dance began on the Rustaveli Avenue. The message is clear: This is our existential fight, and we are determined to win it! We want new elections! #GeorgiaProtests
