Does spectacular wealth excuse depravity? Some thoughts on Elon Musk and moral character.

Do the Ostriches Have to Die? | The Tyee Fact checking the science behind the order to kill 400 birds on a BC farm.

Nearby, this issue is fuelling the discussion on a local ostrich farm - very polarizing as is so much these days. An interesting read … Sharing -

I was outside at the nighthawk tree watching the nighthawks flying and a guy came by walking his dog.

“Everything alright?” He asked.

“Just watching the birds,” I said.

“Oh yeah, the nighthawks?”

I grinned, “Yeah! The nighthawks!”

I love when I meet fellow people who know the local birds. 😃

Hey MAGA Christians, school shootings have nothing to do with a lack of prayer in public schools.

I’ve studied the Bible extensively and served as a pastor for nearly three decades.

Trust me: there is no prayer that will suddenly make children bulletproof.

Cut the BS—it’s the guns.

An Open Letter to Hateful White Americans Dear Hateful White Americans,

I wonder how someone with so many advantages and so much privilege still manages to feel themselves oppressed, still imagines they are marginalized, still feels perpetually under siege by the world around them—a world that has always favored them.

My statement on the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis:

The NIH is also now in talks with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to broaden agreements governing access to their data, Bhattacharya said. In addition, a new disease registry is being launched to track Americans with autism, which will be integrated into the data. Between 10 and 20 outside groups of researchers will be given grant funding and access to the records to produce Kennedy's autism studies. Bhattacharya did not give details on how they would be chosen, but said their selection would be "run through normal NIH processes."

Gun registry? No. Autism registry? Yes?

Fuck ALL the way off.

Rule of Law? “People value the Rule of Law because it takes some of the edge off the power that is necessarily exercised over them in a political community.

The rule of law isn't just words. It’s the bedrock stability that protects our way of life. Attacks on it merit more than a shoulder shrug & then a look away. I wrote a little bit to help you understand more about what it is & how it impacts our daily lives. joycevance.substack.com/p/rule-of-law

Every citizen in the USA should be obliged to read or watch

The Handmaid's Tale.

Now.

Oh. Damn it. It's already banned in parts of the USA.

When a book becomes alive. Too quick.

It seems it's already too late for a rising. But I do hope I am wrong.

Darya Kozyreva, 19, has been sentenced to nearly three years in a Russian penal colony—for quoting a poem and remembering the suffering of Mariupol. Her “crime”? Using words to oppose Putin’s war.

The intense focus on COVID origins in early 2020 felt a bit like standing on a beach debating which underwater volcano was responsible for the massive incoming tsunami…

A post from Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren ) on X reads: "I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you."

What RFK Jr. said was reprehensible. He should be ashamed of himself and step down.

The simplest concept is this: “I wouldn’t like it if it happened to me.”
That’s why I’ll never understand how some people choose to act so cruelly and why I resent having to adapt to a world that makes that behavior normal.
