From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

from “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler

Build the wall! Around DOGE!

You cannot determine whether you saved or cost money based solely on one side of the ledger.

Example: I saved my household $2K by not paying the mortgage.

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC
1/31: Crash in Philly
2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle
2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska
2/10: Crash in Scottsdale
2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego
2/16: Crash in Covington, GA

7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

That’s more like it.

A blackboard with a wood border. On it is Einstein's handwriting.

Einstein's blackboard, which was preserved after his 2nd lecture at Oxford University on May 16, 1931. Its equations connect the age, density and size of the universe.

After the lecture, the blackboard was taken directly to the History of Science Museum, where it is on display today. #histsci

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

Ohio here, and followed. Great stuff!

Ok…it’s getting dark here in OH, and I’m thinking to myself, “I should go put on warm jammies, make a cup of tea and climb into bed. Ummmmm… it’s 5:27 pm. This end of daylight savings time is still kicking my ass. 😂😂😴😴😴

'Viruses Are Our Friend'— 10 Off the Wall Video Clips from RFK Jr. Resurface on Bluesky Past comments include denying AIDS and calling vaccinated children "damaged"

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

If anyone’s looking for alternatives to GoodReads, I highly recommend StoryGraph. It’s owned by a black woman, and the platform is so much more accessible and easy to use.
