Sqrt(-1)🍑🍊🍆🥔🌮

Meant to mention this last week, but if you have a young person in your life who’s into history or graphic novels or just good books, buy them George Takei’s “They Called Us Enemy.” My oldest couldn’t put it down.

People who don't pay attention to politics in any way make a rather terrible assumption for that "privilege"... That the nation will function regardless of who is in charge at the moment. For a healthy, stable form of government, this is true. We are certainly not. Don't look away.

As of this year, you're living in another country even if you never left the US your entire life. Read that again.

I share these every week... I don't talk about them enough, but it's something that's helped me a lot in the past few years. thedigitalheirloom.beehiiv.com/subscribe

Enjoying the show as they tear down the system outside the arena...

🌮

Fight for your rights. As a former educator, students are worth fighting for regardless of their age. If they can do this to universities, what's to stop them from doing it to all levels?

Ok, so...this is going forward. No words. www.reuters.com/business/aer...

Is it just me, or is it that most people can only retain the words "jack" and "sh*t" when it comes to history?

Ideas...

You think this doesn't affect you? Wait a few weeks.

Answering "I don't know." Is fine... Unless it's actually IN the job description! Not to mention in the oath you made to take the office.

"I mostly keep track of it on my phone, a device that makes me feel like I am strapped flat to the board of an unreal present: the past has vanished, the future is inconceivable, and my eyes are clamped open to view the endlessly resupplied now. " highly recommend reading 👇

Timeline palette cleanser...

His hands were not even on the damn books. Obama had the Chief Justice flub a word and he had to redo the oath because the Wing-Nuts lost their minds. This orange pustule says “I don’t know if I have to follow the Constitution.”… crickets.

To the greatest fans in the galaxy... May the 4th be with you.

Is it just me or is it that the more money and power you want, the less spine you possess?

This one will drive him crazy. You know what to do. Share the hell out of it. 😁

McAfee informed me that there were breaches into my personal data from... TwiX Why am I not surprised? Glad I burned that house down a few months ago.

Took a test just to make sure...17/20 isn't bad, right? yourmist.streamlit.app

Go after this judge...I dare you.

Due process is not negotiable.

"In some sense, if creativity comes to us in the shower, how do we first build that shower?"

Don't know about you, but I'm sick of seeing how awful everything is...

Are we in a constitutional crisis yet? Are we on the path to a dictatorship? Are we going into a recession? Are we just asking rhetorical questions?

Less than one lifetime... This should never have happened.

General sentiment these days...

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

That A1 steak sauce, tho... It's gonna take over everything soon...

Didn't quite turn out like this for me...🤣

Great...senior citizens are now X communicated.

Wow...now I can't not do this.

Only weak-minded folks fall for Trump's ignorant bullshit. Don't be a sucker. It's not adorable to be part of a cult.

A cup shattered may be put back together with time, care, and patience... But the cracks will always remain visible. It took less than 100 days for the 🍊🍆🥔 to do this to our country.

I'm not paying for your parade.

You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by the speed of light squared. Then you Energy.

I can't wait to put my kids to work at the smartphone factories coming to the US... Said by no one.

Poor little 🍊🍆🥔... - Throwing punches he can't take - Trying to take the world's lunch money - Begging bullies to accept him into their group If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. Not that you've ever been in one...

Fuck. You.

The smallest act of courage... Voting. You don't need to share: - your beliefs - your preference - your gender of birth You just have to show up, stand in a line, and be registered to do so. I get that you have to take time off from your life to do it. A third of us didn't. Do better.

The future is a web of branching paths, and each choice opens up new possibilities as it closes others. This is as true for a civilization as it is for an individual. The more our collective intelligence can inform each choice, the better our chances of finding paths through to a beautiful future.

Elon sold his own platform to himself... I seem to recall an opt-out setting for X when it came to allowing access for Grok to use your content... Basically irrelevant now under "new" ownership. Is it just me or does this whole thing sound like the corporate version of a twice-baked potato?
