Shocking in all the most effective ways, Dust Bunny is a super for adults too - saw it last night. "It's your monster" is a great message. And so, as "theirs", the person can control it. A pointed message for today. Fantastic acting too.

Horrifying. Nothing about eugenics is soft.

So sad to see this, not only rewriting history online and with censorship of the written word here in the US, but destroying world historic sites. Horrifying.

Fascinating analysis by Dr. Biber on an unattractive angle to artificial "intelligence" rise - as a real contradiction with our 🌎future. Thanks to @laurashamas.bsky.social for sharing the @nativenewsonline.bsky.social piece here. Please have a look + share. #climate #AI #datacenters #Scicomm

On the flip side, encouraging how much better renewable green energy sources look right now. The stone age ended, the fossil fuel age is ending, I am certain.

Grateful for Ms. A Washington's insights here, on the way shadow banning actively contricts our view, blinding us to the rich intellectual and social writings which we really do want to see and hear... A must read: medium.com/@Ms.AWashing... #equity #censorship #socialmedia #writing #gratitude

I've suspected for a while he's a nihilist, maybe also bezerk and so, devoid of values or ethics and compelled to destroy...

Black-and-white formal portrait of Alva Myrdal (1902–1986), the Swedish diplomat, sociologist, politician, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. She is photographed against a dark background, resting her chin thoughtfully on her left hand, which displays a large, ornate ring. Her expression is calm, wise, and slightly introspective, with deep-set eyes, fine lines of age, and a gentle smile. Her silver-gray hair is styled in a soft, voluminous updo typical of the mid-20th century, and she wears a dark tailored jacket or dress with a simple collar, along with a distinctive metal wristwatch on her left arm. Alva Myrdal was a pioneering figure in social policy, women's rights, and international disarmament. With her husband Gunnar Myrdal, she co-authored the influential 1934 book Kris i befolkningsfrågan (Crisis in the Population Question), which shaped Sweden's progressive family and welfare policies. She served as Sweden's Minister for Disarmament and Church Affairs (1966–1973), headed UNESCO's social science department, and played a key role in the United Nations. In 1982, she shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Alfonso García Robles for her lifelong work on nuclear disarmament and peace advocacy through organizations like the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) and Pugwash Conferences. Known for her intellectual rigor, feminist principles, and commitment to global justice, she remains an icon of principled leadership in diplomacy and social reform.#AlvaMyrdal #NobelPeacePrize #Disarmament #SIPRI

Alva Myrdal was a Swedish sociologist, diplomat & a prominent leader of the disarmament movement. She shared the #Nobel Peace Prize in 1982 (w/A. Robles) "for their work for disarmament & nuclear and weapon-free zones." #WHM

It's International Day for #Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Awareness.

Once upon a time he did take the ethical, logical, public health position against the carcinogen glyphosate - his old self must be turning over in its grave.

To hear glyphosate, we are also hearing the complete moral disintegration of RFK Jr. May his past self rest in peace at this soul deadening pivot. Remember what he used to do, legally? (besides snorting drugs)

As someone who lives in NYC, no one moves to Manhattan based on taxes, I am pretty sure.

All My Relatives: Answering Senator Chris Murphy's Question And the History Behind “White Culture”

Essential reading, from @juliefrancella.com today. In meditation this morning, I saw being in the US as like being disgraced, culturally impoverished relatives of our ancestors from locations all around the world who still have their own cultures intact... juliefrancella.substack.com/p/all-my-rel...

No understanding of the meaning of the words he uses or the actual history he's referring too, what a strange and ignorant person he seems to be.

My adopted house rabbits from the ACC-NYC shelter are, in fact feisty, at times. They "punch" with front paws when guarding their territory, and also bite when I'm in the way. Other than that, quite cuddly and very cute.🐇

Typically the dominant narcisist in an abusive partnership would say that, but it does not engender love.
