They've now jumped to calling it communism. I guess the socialism label wasnt working.
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 3w agoSocialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952
We are fostering a dog. She had to go to the shelter for adoption hours today. When she came home again, our dog (the white large one) was very happy to see her again.....
Fostering a 4 month old pup for the holiday weekend. She has no training and doesn't know her name, but she is super sweet and adorable.
It’s weird to be clearly living through exactly what was warned about with global warming and still have the concept treated as a future event or hypothetical.
I will never nab a KOM or fastest segment time on strava (especially in the era of ebikes), but I did manage to become the local legend on my hill repeat workout today! (Local legends has the most attempts at a segment in the last 90 days).
I was wondering what nutrients were fueling this boom. Nice to hear from someone who knows what they are talking about.

People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19
I argued the other day that caffeine doesn't impact me except at night when I'm trying to sleep. I tested that today by switching to decaf coffee. Lets just say I was wrong....
I'm sure this will be an unpopular opinion here, but the cybertruck bashing is getting really old. Yes Musk sucks and I'd love for tesla to replace him (they won't). Yes, I'd rather see any other EV than a tesla. But I'd also rather see a cyber truck on the road than any ICE car.
El niño forecasts predict a cooler dryer summer for my part of the world. It's weird to be wearing jeans and a hoodie in June, especially while Europe sets heat records every day.
Imaginary government model: random people are picked for elected offices, sort of like jury duty. After 4 years we vote to keep them for another term or replace them with another random person. Seems like the likelihood that government works for us and addresses problems would increase.
For no reason at all, here is a picture of my dog on a ferry last summer
JUST RELEASED: 14 million battery-electric cars sold globally in 2025 says @iea.org. China: 8.2m. Europe: 2.9m (28% of new cars). Norway: 97%. US flat at 1.2m. In 2015 the world sold 330,000 BEVs. Ten years later, 14 million. Long-read coming on Bright Spots 👇 janrosenow.substack.com
Weather conditions today allowed for a 150 mile trip from RI to Cape cod and back on mostly highway driving to only use 56% of the battery in my 2020 niro EV. That means under similar conditions I could expect to drive almost 300 highway miles in a 6 year old EV with an EPA estimated 239 miles.
Exciting day today: I was able to have class outside for my honors freshman, and then was M.C. for our department awards banquet. Fun day, but I'm ready for a nap!

With the widespread use of AI, we've entered a whole new world of choose your own reality. Whether its sports or politics/societal strife or science, AI imagery is becoming common, and therefore anyone who doesn't like what they see can plausibly dismiss it as AI generated whether its real or not.
Had a conference at school today all about AI. The general message was "its here, students use it, so lets figure out how to use it in a way that doesn't outsource learning". Immediately after I ran into a librarian who basically stated that AI is the worst thing ever and needs to be banned...
Friends, I’d like to show @ucalgary.bsky.social that @bsky.app is where the cool kids hang out and that they should start posting here more and less/none at TheBadPlace™️. Show them some love by reskeeting this 100000000x. 🧪
The USA taking Greenland "for security" is the worst security for Greenland. As of now, all of the NATO countries are guaranteeing its security. If we break that, it would only be the USA providing security to Greenland. But of course a broken NATO is what Putin wants.....
5 years ago Trump attempted a coup. He went unpunished, and now the coup has continued by sidelining congress and ignoring international law. My fellow Americans, the democrats or the military are not going to stop him. I dont know what the answer to Trumps dictatorship is, but its up to citizens
Katie Phang@katiephang.bsky.social · 7mo agoFormer Special Counsel, Jack Smith, explicitly states: "President Trump was by a large measure the most culpable and most responsible person in this conspiracy. These crimes were committed for his benefit. The attack that happened at the Capitol, part of this case, does not happen without him."
