Positive reinforcement is also good. Call them and thank them if they did the right thing! (be sure that the shitheads are calling to yell at them for doing the right thing)

Raising chickens is more expensive than grocery store eggs, but also, bird flu is endemic in wildlife at the moment. Asking people to do this with zero safety precautions or knowledge is a great way to get more people infected and raise the chance that we get a human transmissible version.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

I do want to gently state, since I'm seeing a lot of "Amazon suddenly says we don't own our books!!!" It is very rare for you to actually OWN anything you buy digitally from a big corp. It's almost always a license. This is a post from 13 years ago about the topic. gizmodo.com/you-dont-own...

When it comes to boycotting, just a thought. It’s okay if you can’t quit a company cold turkey. In Master Gardeners, when we encourage people to switch to native plants, the goal is 70% native, not 100%. If you were shopping at a store 80% of the time and cut it back to 60%, that 20% still hurts.

the IOC pulling the Olympics out of LA feels like one of the few potential consequences that anybody in power might care about I doubt they will and maybe things are far enough along that they can't, but I would like them to

Are there any Scottish artists out there? I have an upcoming project that is set in Scotland and I would love to work with folks from there. Need a background artist and a sprite artist. And possibly a composer. ONLY want Scottish creators at this moment in time.

This has to be one of the biggest opsec fails I've ever seen in my life. The actual director of the FBI driving around in the most conspicuous vehicle imaginable made even more so by it being neon red.

It is absolutely incredible to watch what Musk did to Twitter play out in the EXACT SAME WAY with the US government. Come in like you’re an expert when you don’t know a single fucking thing. Fire everyone, destroy the entire infrastructure, leave a burning pile of shit, pat yourself on the back.

I understand why a lot of people don’t like the all-in-one washer/dryer units. But I love this stupid thing. I’m always forgetting to put my clothes from the wash into the dryer and have to re-wash them. And it’s just a non-issue now.

Thank you. It's a racist move by a miserable racist. For that reason alone, no decent, moral person should go along.

Measles requires 95% vaccination rates for herd immunity. It has a 16.2% case fatality rate for unvaccinated children under 5 years and 24% for children under 9 months (who are unable to be vaccinated). 30% of the survivors experience severe complications like blindness, deafness, or encephalitis.

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

I remember reading “Attention Is All You Need” and thinking it was only a matter of time before Google neutered the motto. In the spring of 2018, they quietly removed it from the code of conduct.
