Rick Steves Talks Travel, Cannabis and Freedom The celebrated PBS television host’s plant advocacy is legendary as is his take on the current state of international cannabis.

I’m a hardworking, taxpaying, churchgoing, grandkid-raising American citizen. And if I work all day long and want to go home, smoke a joint & just stare at the fireplace for 3 hours…that’s my civil liberty. ‪

@sarapayan.bsky.social‬ reports on my mission to end America's prohibition on marijuana:

Mr. Rogers didn’t tell us, “When I say it's you I like, I'm talking about that deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate and justice that proves more powerful than greed” for us to sit idly by and let PBS be defunded

Our expectations for you were low but holy f*ck

ideally these billionaires who are recently leaning into flaunting their wealth and power learn sooner rather than later why their kind have historically taken to remote mansions obscured by trees and mountains

#jubilism takes the terrorist playbook and turns it upside down. Similar tactics and strategy, opposite results.

I fundraise for these efforts.

#jubilism is the opposite to terrorism.

Excerpt from a public letter Roald Dahl wrote encouraging people to vaccinate their children. Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. “Are you feeling all right?” I asked her. “I feel all sleepy,” she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was twenty-four years ago in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunized against measles. I was unable to do that for Olivia in 1962 because in those days a reliable measles vaccine had not been discovered. Today a good and safe vaccine is available to every family and all you have to do is to ask your doctor to administer it.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Hey quick question, anybody remember when the Whigs and the Federalists were political parties in the U.S.?

No? Right. Because they became irrelevant.
We need to make sure that our grandchildren barely know what Republicans (and, frankly, at this point, Democrats) even were.

To be fair though I was full on adult when the Egyptology one came out but I had the same response anyway

Confirmed.

This is the symbol for “Resistor” in electrical and engineering schematics.

A resistor works by opposing the flow of “power” through a given system, often resulting in that power being converted to light or heat or both.

Be a resistor in this system of unchecked power.

Today in 1811 the UK Parliament removed all power from King George because he was "insane"

We’re meant to calmly accept the absurd idea that any white man is innately qualified for any job or position, no matter what his education, resume or proven capabilities and any non-white man or woman inherently stole their way into employment via #DEI. This of course is pure, undiluted fascism.

If you are not getting paid for it, it’s really more of a blowhobby
