To a healthy planet for all living things. Anyone can do the right thing. You know when you don't. You can't un-know what you know. It's awful when you can't tell someone is lying to you. It's a disaster when you lie to yourself. DMs ONLY 4 crdts/remvl

We've been complacent viewers for years. News outlets, specifically cable news, are now little more than celebrity-building machines. It's up to us to stop feeding these beasts by rewarding irresponsible journalism with our eyeballs. Let lower ratings bring them to their senses.

I signed my initials approximately 570 times today! (Plus some practice beforehand.) Very grateful to have a short, smooth signature 😅 I'm not sure if I'm allowed to tell you what it was for, yet? But I will check, lol. Revealing details carefully redacted here.

My signature "FL" with a flourish underneath on a title page for THE WOLF AND HIS KING.

Let’s talk Project 2025. It’s not a theory...it’s a 900-page blueprint to remake the federal government. The tracker shows ~1/3 already done, another chunk “in progress,” and the rest waiting for activation. This isn’t a concept of a plan. It is the plan.

Barack Obama @barackobama.bsky.social · 1d

There's always been a fight over the true story of America. I believe deeply in the story that says we’re all created equal, and that if we can treat each other with decency and respect, all of us will be better off.

I talk about this and more on the final episode of WTF with Marc Maron. Watch now:

i said this a few weeks ago, but a reminder that windows 10 being "end of life" does not mean your operating system will immediately stop working. even if the OS itself doesn't get updates, the apps you use most often (the browser.) still are. more important to have adblock + firewall these days

For those who don't have access to imagery, a new Russian radar we've been monitoring that could be associated with the S-500 is now in Google Earth.

Guy whose concern about the No Kings rally is that there’s a lot of evidence constitutional monarchies do a better job than republics of avoiding personalistic politics.

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job.

Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.

Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.
