Same as ever; too Californian to be realistic. I eat, drink, and sometimes talk about science.

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

Y’all didn’t realize they were using β€œDemocracy dies in darkness” as a mission statement, not a salutary motto

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I say this all the time when I speak publicly about elections. The biggest political party in the US are non-voters.

But it's not too late.

1. Register to vote. www.vote.org/voter-regist...
2. Make a plan to vote.
3. Vote by election day (in many places there is early voting or vote by mail). πŸ—³οΈ

Did Trump Golf Today? Track Donald Trump's golf outings and the cost to taxpayers.

3.3 earthquakes make me slightly seasick, but maybe that's just because the building is doing a fun little shimmy.

"There is a particular look about a teenage boy that lets you know what kind of man he’ll be. A certain fullness of lips, a frank sensuality in his gaze. We all know what the word for that is, but it’s not polite to use it until he’s proven he’s that kind of boy."

I’ve said we need a term for β€œgovernment by liars” because this Trump administration does seem to be breaking new ground in the telling-constant-objectively-provable-lies department.

Walz: "We have a federal system that we're all in it together, we help other states when they need it, but we have a situation where they're trying to divide us & provide specific aid to states that they like at the moment, which is absolutely unconscionable... either that or give us our money back"

Most women get uterine fibroids. This researcher wants to know why Biomedical engineer Erika Moore investigates diseases that disproportionately affect women of color.

Erika Moore uses Jell-O-like hydrogels to grow uterine fibroids in her lab at the University of Maryland. She hopes to understand why the noncancerous tumors grow and how to stop them.

Lessons from being online since 1995

1. Brandolini's law:
"The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it."

2. Chill before serving. (Mine)

3. It's irony when the actor or observer is "confidently unaware."

4. On the Media's rules.

Eight vacations in seven months by a member of the current regime but we can't afford health care for millions of Americans. πŸ™„

The unconstrained spending in this regime is obnoxious & unconscionable!

The President of the United States went on CNBC today and said: He won the 2020 election (he didn’t). He has a 71% approval rating (he doesn’t). The jobs numbers were rigged (they weren’t).

I could say something funny here, but I won’t. It’s just so damn dangerous to have him in the White House.
