I hate that threads has recaptured my attention and that Bluesky just isn’t delivering the timely and captivating political/news/current event content that I want. I made an effort to be over here, but as soon as I let the content draw me regardless of deliberate choice, I ended up back on threads.

I think immigration is good and we should have more of it. There should be some rules to regulate it but right now the process is too arduous and many good people don't have any viable path to citizenship. They should.

“We call it a starship!” “So it goes to the stars?” “Well, not really.” “So why not call it a spaceship?” “Well, it doesn’t do that either.”

If kidnapped, what would you post that would alarm your followers without the kidnappers knowing you're asking for help? "I wish I'd voted for Jill Stein..."

Economics is called the dismal science, but one of its most beautiful insights is that production (dare I say, abundance) is possible. That from a functioning system, something new can emerge, something no one could have created alone. Cooperation, even collaboration, holds a kind of creative magic.
