I haven't forgotten about you Breonna. πŸ’œ

I think that it’s in our country’s best interest for the Canadian hockey team to humble us

Canada is everything the US tries to tell itself it is. And we used to share more in common. But somewhere, the US lost its way. Living in the PNW, and visiting BC semi-regularly, makes me hurt for what the US was and could have been.

Just saw someone describe RFK Jr. as the Pet Semetary version of JFK, and we may never stop laughing.

What is it about amphetamines and fascism?

I hate bullies.

And who they didn't like

Honestly, I've always struggled with US culture. I've never felt I share in the predominantly common values. Money has never been my primary driver. I measure success in accumulated and developed skills and knowledge. And I don't conflate bluster with virtue.

I know this guy - a former student of mine. He's solid. And he's been working it for years. gofund.me/8bfd412d

Fuck Putin. Fuck trump. I stand with Ukraine πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.
