Fled Twitter when Musk X’d it out. Atheist in the CA desert.🌵 Science over certainty. Pro whatever keeps humans from abusing the planet and each other. 🚫 DMs. Nothing untoward or, you know, indecorous. Love gifs and use far too many. STOP TRUMP!

MR. MAMDANI! Don’t trust Donald Trump! He’s buttering you up now, but he will invade #NYC as soon as you are sworn in. He is the scorpion in the old fable…”you knew it was my nature”. DON’T FALL FOR IT!

In related news, the claim ‘the Tooth Fairy does not actually take lost baby teeth from under pillows’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that magical beings are secretly thieving teeth in the dead of night…”

Anyone else getting ride share drivers who spew unsolicited political views?
Report them, yeh, but it happens to me all the time. Had an enraged MAGA at the wheel yesterday, and no time to change rides. Wrath not aimed at me personally (I didn’t engage; needed the ride), but she never shut up.

Donald Trump's idiotic proposal to sell off California's coasts to his Big Oil donors is dead in the water.
We will not stand by as our coastal economy and communities are put in danger.

A reminder that when Christian Nationalists in the Republican Party lecture you about the importance of "religious freedom," they are not talking about YOUR religion or YOUR freedom. They are talking about THEIR freedom to impose THEIR religion on you.

Looking forward to the new Ken Burns doc tonight about the American Revolution. Fun fact: Growing up in Ann Arbor, MI, Ken and Rick burns lived just across a park from me, and I had no idea until about a year ago. (Weirdly — only by coincidence — the park is named Burns Park.)
