I like "Homeless Jesus"but I hate the American Jesus and everything he stands for.
A friend from Texas told me American evangelicals loved to say "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus" but never quoted him. They liked Paul and judgemental old testament prophets.
Serving the poor and mercy wasn't their thing.

I realize broad science-literacy problems cannot generally be solved just by shoving more facts at people but I really wish more people understood that the entire purpose and mechanism of a vaccine is to educate your OWN immune system, making it about the most "natural" medical intervention possible

We can all agree this works, can't we?

So you’re telling me the Wizard of Oz presented itself as a towering force of overwhelming technology, only to be unmasked as just some guy, off-screen?

“What if it’s a hoax and we create a better world for nothing?”

15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner.

Even worse if we don’t heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

Gigantic SUVs are a public health threat. Why don’t we treat them like one?

Montage of Dutch bike infrastructure

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.

Let’s be clear— it wastes public money to NOT do it.

Fascinating. Microsoft emailed me to say it was raising the price of Microsoft 365, but when i went to cancel it offered me me the old price — without all the AI bullshit.

It’s forcing AI on everyone and making them pay more for it, then only telling them they don’t have to if they try to cancel.

“Guards! Guards!” Book by Terry Pratchett and my coffee on the outdoor table.

Today was the last day of school. It was a quick little bit of reading and coffee before getting too warm and heading inside.

And the summer reading extravaganza begins. Halfway through Bernie Sanders’ book, and a Terry Pratchett novel. (Started both months ago, but dang work gets in the way.)
