So it seems fitting that Norway has refused to refuel a US Navy warship… but. Those ships are out there for a reason to keep Russia in check. Sure it sends a message, but Putin is smiling. I’m not.

What really (really) rankles me is when some Republican stooge puts words in the mouths of the "American people."

So I guess the question is, will US vaccine makers follow these recommendations so that Americans will have a flu vaccine during the next flu season? (I'm 69 years old and jabbed to the gills) www.who.int/news/item/28...

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care. But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix. The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.

People often find that cell phones, landlines, and the Internet are the first victims of a natural (or man-made) disaster. That's why ham radio operators encourage others to get their license to operate as a ham or at least get a GMRS license to use inexpensive (but more reliable) hand-held radios.

Why the fuck are we talking about making Canada a 51st state, while Puerto Rico and Washington DC are RIGHT THERE WAITING????

Under the GOP's SAVE Act, Tribal IDs would NO LONGER be accepted as valid identification to register to vote. This is a direct attack on the voting rights of Native American communities. #StopTheSAVEAct social.demcast.com/s/EC9Y1x2d

Some of the firefighters in California are prisoners being paid a pittance to help extinguish the fires. It's an interesting story of second chances. www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news...

Years from now, we’ll look back at 2025 and recall how nice it was. We have to do more with what time we have left. Consider that we just elected a regime who will do what’s best for themselves—not for ordinary folks.

Californians are all too familiar with flip-flopping weather extremes, and new research suggests that weather whiplash is increasing as the atmosphere warms due to human-caused climate change. via @kqednews.bsky.social

This 2019 story feels relevant today. Did it end with the 737 Max—or was it policy? Cutting costs to near-minimum wage shouldn’t be priority over lives & safety. 📌 Boeing outsourced 737 Max software coding to $9/hour engineers, laying off in-house talent & subcontracting offshore to save money

Trump doing what Trump always does: Lying and spreading fear. The suspect is a U.S. Citizen and a U.S. Army Veteran, who was born & raised in Texas. Somebody please bring Trump up to speed. Not that it matters. He’s gonna lie anyways.

Jimmie Carter has passed. For me, he set a shining example that I cannot hope to match, but I can try.

President Carter's words capture the essence of servant leadership: holding office not for personal ambition, but rather to serve others and make a real difference in someone's life. 🫶 #Leadership #Service H/T @ChairmanBuckley

Through Habitat for Humanity, Jimmy Carter built homes for those who couldn’t afford one. You won’t find pictures of Trump doing this.

What's to stop an angry mega-billionaire from crippling the vehicles with an over-the-air update? It could focus on an entire state or just the car of an individual who said the wrong thing.

It was raining but my Tesla was on the other side of the lot. For the first time, I used “Summon” to tell the car to drive across the lot to stop right in front of me. It worked fine. No, no one saw this driverless car coasting slowly between the cars. I’ll wait for an audience next time.

I spent the last week witnessing my granddaughter’s college graduation from FIT. In the process I found out just how frail I have become. It’s humbling to need help standing and being unable to help. Getting old sucks.

I hired a man to clean out my rain gutters—but he hired a friend to do the job. Unfortunately, he failed to do it right. Fortunately, the owner came back in the rain to remedy the problem. They both spoke Portuguese.

We cannot resort to violence to achieve any end. We had a chance to vote for universal healthcare. However, too many voted for those who continue denying us a system we can literally live with. We must defend our right to such a system and depose those who would block it. #unitedhealthcare

Meta got fined again for violating election laws. A paltry $240,000,000 this time. But their investment in tipping the election worked. We need different remedies.

If you’d told me on Jan 6th 2021 that the man responsible for that horrific attack would end up returning to the office he tried to steal that day, and that he’d do so after calling the attackers “heroes” & “hostages” he was going to pardon, I’d have thought you were out of your damn mind. And yet…
