@paulisci.bsky.social Hello Paul! Any word on when your book will be released? I was a backer in 2023 through Unbound but haven't received any updates. And their site is now inactive.

I think coordination is a big hurdle. It's difficult enough to get smaller groups to do things together. How do you get enough people to participate in a general strike especially when the US is so large land mass wise?

Nice! Where were you able to sign up for the presale?

Second junco nest found in my hanging flower baskets. That makes 2 for 4.

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

Musk is deleting data about his companies. He is stealing from us.

Interesting theory that I’m leaning towards is true.

Trump Cries for Elon, Blames 'Illegal' Liberal Boycott for Tanking Tesla Donald Trump claimed that an 'illegal liberal boycott is hurting Tesla, and vowed to buy a car from Elon Musk's electric-vehicle company.

Guess I’m breaking the law then. Glad I bought a Nissan Leaf.

If elected Republicans believe our mass shootings are a mental health issue, why are they defunding the VA that provides mental health services?

Well that’s interesting.

I'm still in disbelief that there is a segment of the population that thinks what Elon is doing is not only acceptable, but fantastic. It's truly horrifying.

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.”

Why Democrats Won’t Throw a Real Punch Faced with existential threats from the right, the Democratic leadership remains timid; faced with demands for justice from the left, it goes on the attack.

Elected Republicans who are going along with Trump's illegal activities are either weak or complicit. Always call them out on either of these two things.

Strange. Disney+ is advertising "The Simpsons: The Past and the Furious" but it's nowhere to be found. It was released 2/12. Their tech support said it was pulled from the platform for some reason. No ETA for its return. #disney #simpsons

Just wanted you to know I really enjoy your podcast. I usually end my workday listening to it. It’s a nice counter balance to NPRs “Up First” which is how I start my day.

It Could Happen Here is a great companion listen too.

I enjoyed this comment I found online:

The problem with talking with MANY, NOT All, Old school Dems is that they still want to use Robert's Rules while the game has moved to The Art of War.

@gilduran.com @george-lakoff.com How effective is the messaging “No one elected Elon”? I like the simplicity of it. But concerned because it repeats Elon’s name as well as reinforces “elected”.

I’m very interested to know if this is a viable strategy.

Thank you Gil! I have emailed you.

I am a paid subscriber. Signed up as soon as you offered the signed books.

I wasn’t ever contacted about it. Was I supposed to receive an email?

@george-lakoff.com When will we find out who won the signed books by subscribing to Framelab? Thanks!

I learned in junior high that the only way bullies stop is if they feel pain. Once that occurs, they turn tail and run.

Are These Dots Purple, Blue or Proof That Humans Will Never Be Happy? Are these dots blue or purple? According to a new study, the answer is pretty depressing.

Listening to an audiobook I learned about an experiment. The author extrapolated that our brains are hardwired to look for threats and in the absence of them it starts assuming safe things are dangerous. Explains a lot about our current society as we are the safest we have ever been in history.
