I don’t give a fuck about your chiropractic cures and homeopathic crystals, in this house we believe in constantly questioning our prior assumptions but only acting on them if they meet the rigorous demands of overturning currently proven practices to at least five sigma

Spent the day off the grid on a tiny lake in the Adirondacks. Here’s a wild bee collecting pollen on a floating lily.

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

This is exactly the right tone when privileged people suffer minor or temporary consequences standing up for powerless people. It’s still about the powerless people.

We drill into military officers that Members of Congress have Constitutional oversight rights, Members outrank four-stars in protocol, and even Congressional staffers are treated like generals/admirals.

To see sworn federal officers manhandle and handcuff a U.S. Senator... I'm still shook up.
