Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple. Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

If we tax Elon Musk and his fellow billionaires appropriately, every child in America can have healthcare, education, and a well funded social safety net instead of some racist billionaire’s pathetic pr stunt

Elon Musk has said he will give every child in America a stake in SpaceX, his $2 trillion aerospace and artificial intelligence company, as tech firms face intensifying scrutiny over their impact on society. https://cnn.it/4yWTjTJ

"shouldn't be this hard" is an all-encompassing, feel-it-in-your-bones summary of modern American life -- of difficulties big and small, existential and annoying -- that should be at the core of every Democratic candidate's message for years to come.

El- Sayed: "Here‘s the thing about it – no matter who you are, how you love, how you pray, how you identify, it just should not be this hard... Shouldn‘t be this hard to keep our money here. Spend it on roads and bridges here, build our schools here, provide healthcare here. Shouldn‘t be this hard"

I made a Headless Horseman statue (sculpted in ZBrush, printed with Bambu printers), with fancy jack o’ lantern lighting. Sculpting and painting characters is so much easier when you leave out the head.

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

BREAKING: There’s been a massive recall of whatever it is you just put in your mouth

Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

I estimate my income next year to be $35 trillion. It’s true I’m just a public school teacher, but I also have plans to sell stuff on Etsy.

‘The maker of Claude is likely to tell investors its potential revenue opportunities are above $30 trillion, topping SpaceX’s $28.5 trillion estimate. WeWork cited a $3 trillion market opportunity in its ultimately abandoned IPO.‘ www.wsj.com/tech/ai/anth...

Sometimes society at large rejects certain ideas because they’ve been thoroughly shown to be wrong and also because they suck and the people who espouse them suck and when someone comes around arguing those ideas should be part of some edgy modern debate we can and should shun them and move on.

I thought it'd be interesting to take a picture of the same tree every day for a year and see how it changed. What I learned was that somehow I managed to forget to do it more than a hundred times. February in particular is underrepresented, mostly because my yard was encased in ice for most of it.

More than halfway there! There were a lot of new things to make for this chapter - new ships, locations, and several bounty hunters who appear for about 1/112th the time it took to put them together. Someone needs to check on Dengar. I'm not sure he's well. youtu.be/x-DTbH7gDaQ

The hope chest with the damaged lid is now Buckie’s security bunker.

Douglas Adams writing fortune cookies now

I got inspired by Scribner's animated cover reveal for @astrokatie.com 's forthcoming book; combine that with me happy to find fun ways to procrastinate in working on my own animation project and you get a frenzied bout of modeled puzzle pieces in Maya and some fancification in After Effects.

I pre-ordered "How to Build a Universe: (Theoretically Speaking)"! Hooray! It's good now to have a legitimate reason to look forward to March, which, let's be honest, hasn't done much recently to distinguish itself as a month. The Ides have been coasting on their laurels for almost 2100 years.

I’m wondering if there exists in the world a single local car dealership commercial in which the entire staff at one point doesn’t attempt and largely fail to shout something in unison.

SENATOR: and mr beethoven, how do you respond to these accusations BEETHOVEN: DUN DUN DUN DUNNNNNNN SENATOR: excuse me BEETHOVEN: i take the fifth

Good morning from Churchie, who did not come with instructions for assembly.

Good morning from Ruby and Archie, who are in the middle of important squirrel research

Good morning from Ruby, who will do anything to stop having to hear me play the piano.

Good morning from Lizzie, who, it must be said, did not give me permission to post this.

Good morning from Churchie, who’s got a lot of yard work to do today.

Good morning from Lizzie, who showed up out of nowhere 6 years ago today as a sickly little kitten and now has her choice of nap spots in the house she pretty much runs.

Please enjoy this magical sight 🦦 The gardeners at Bodnant have known for years there are otters onsite, but they have remained hidden... until now. This critter was spotted enjoying the river Hiraethlyn near the Old Mill. 🎥: An otter flowing gracefully down a stream surrounded by lush greenery

Good morning from Buckie, who’s in a bit of a mood

Good morning from Churchie, who’s not quite ready for morning yet.

3 parts down, 5 (I think) more to go in my Primitive Empire Strikes Back. This chapter for some reason has Yoda immediately addicted to Luke's little travel snack bars. The dark side comes in all forms I guess, including what I assume is some kind of haunted granola. youtu.be/k4alqknVBPQ?...

Good morning from Tazzy, who quite frankly is over this veterinarian trip bs.
