Most incredible encounter with a grizzly on trail today. We turned a corner and found ourselves near one, and quickly made our way to a large boulder where everyone was standing. We waited for the bear to cross the trail. It got a bit too close for comfort, but wow, what an incredible sight.

Ohio requires buses for private school kids. Public school students have to find their own ride School districts are responsible for transporting private and charter school kids, leaving thousands of public school students behind

This is the very definition of a broken system. In Ohio, we prioritize private school students over public school students when it comes to busing — and it’s all tied to our Republican-controlled legislature’s budget choices. 👇🧵

The "smart" characters need to stop staying they don't believe in coincidences. It's not a smart thing to say.

T=Trillion

The top 1% now owns more than $54 trillion in wealth.

That’s 468 times more than the bottom 50%.

One man — Elon Musk — owns more than the bottom half COMBINED.

This is what I mean when I talk about oligarchy.

Fark is still a thing?

Quoting myself from earlier today:

The usual rule of thumb is: When a news headline asks a question, the answer is always no. But when the NYT headline asks, "Is There a Smart Way to Cede Power to Donald Trump?" the answer is, "Go fuck yourself."

What's wrong with Vertigo?

If you don't have to wash your legs and butt is legs, is @hankgreen.bsky.social saying that you don't have to wash your butt⁉ 🤯

I once read a comment saying something like "if you choose not to laugh at farts, your life will contain less laughter but still the same amount of farts". I think about that a lot.

Tweet that says “it’s wild that the english language doesn’t have a word for the day after tomorrow like how” Merriam-Webster quote tweet of that tweet that says “Alright, let’s get to work, people.”

After 39 days of quiet, the clock resets.

At 5:14 p.m., a beige-gray column of ash punches skyward from Mount St. Helens—the first eruption visible in daylight since May 18.

Two more pulses follow at 6:25 and 7:01. At peak, ash tops 59,000 feet. It's a big show.

Freedom of speech is a principle that exists beyond one law in one country.

I think about this constantly

Tortie!

Another lazy #caturday

When I was a kid, Bluesky didn't even exist. This was just an empty lot where we used to play hide and seek.

Everywhere I look, I see Wilhoit's Law:

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
