It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.

About 1/6 of the total population of Serbia protested government malfeasance today. In the US that would be more than fifty million people.

Every single thing that everybody suddenly wants to do in Greenland - mine for minerals! use shipping lanes! set up bases! - can be done right now, while Greenland is part of Denmark. The discussion of "occupying" Greenland is just a pointless piece of aggression towards an ally.

We are for the most, creatures of story. We see a door in a stone wall and instinctively feel there's a tale behind it. We cannot help but imagine the narrative it protects. If the door is locked, the tale will likely be darker and bloodier. The unknowable is often thus. – #CLNolan

A ran across this one a few spring seasons ago just walking down the road. Wolves aren't usually afraid of humans, which makes them a really easy target for "some people" Here I was blocking the road with my car so she could cross safely.

We have so many paths towards our 'out of reach" goals. We can accomplish these types of projects in the US if we rally sufficient will.
trains are such a great example of how the future is here, if we want it and are willing to subsidize it
It’s over 1,000km from Berlin to Paris
There’s now a direct daytime train between them, that takes 8 hours and costs just €59. Leave at 10am, arrive 6pm.
And… it’s just 1% the carbon emissions of the equivalent flight

Keep heroes alive by living their ideals in your day to day life. Nothing is handed out. Everything is taken.
a remarkable woman whose work is still vital. we named our daughter after her.
Formerly enslaved, Anna Julia Cooper earned an MA in math in 1887 & a PhD. Educator, leader, democracy activist, her 1892 book championed women's rights. “The cause of freedom is not the cause of a race or a sect, a party or a class - it is the cause of human kind, the very birthright of humanity.”

Well done, Costco
Just read the response from Costco to shareholders requesting it back down from DEI. It was glorious. It begins "Our Board has considered this proposal and believes … an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." and gets better. A happy investor #diversityandinclusion

Happy Solstice everyone
The Ursid Meteor Shower peaks tonight and tomorrow night. These meteors come from debris left by Commet8P/Tuttle. Not as active as the Perseids at just five to ten per hour but, still makes for a nice evening, lights out, in a warm dark hot tub.

Spent the day talking to Europeans, and nobody can think of any precedent for what Musk just did to the US Congress. There is no businessman with that much power, the power to stop a routine spending bill, anywhere else in the democratic world.

This has been clear for many months. If Putin wants to negotiate, he can stop fighting anytime. And negotiate. He is the obstacle to peace, not Zelensky, and has been since the beginning of the war. Still not heard Trump explain what leverage he will use to make him stop
🇪🇺 Kaja Kallas: "There’s no point pushing Zelensky to talk when Putin doesn’t want to talk. We can’t talk about European peacekeeping forces when there’s no peace. Why is there no peace? Because Russia does not want peace in Ukraine."
