Doing what I can to facilitate the return of democracy.
Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.
CARTOON OF THE DAY (if you know who made this let us know)
Watched a multi-acre fire break out before my very eyes and then watched a bunch of helicopters show up and put it out. Government was a good idea, it should do more things like that instead of evil and corruption
NO ONE wants Data Centers. NO ONE wants their cars tracking your every movements. NO ONE wants Flock camera's. So who the fuck is installing them? And why are we just taking it???
Seattle has its own vigilante group that will help you recover your stolen bike and I promise they were 100x more effective than the police and also sometimes the head lady tells you about her farm.
Em, midly@lefttheprairie.bsky.social · 4d agoIt’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.
🔥 “I’m so sick and tired of you old people not giving a shit about what we’re telling you. We don’t have a future. We’re telling you what we need and you don’t give a damn.”
I have zero opinions about who should be the 2028 nominee at this point (you have to finish your 2026 midterm before you can have dessert) but I am all for normalizing the idea that the fight needs to be about how many seats we're adding to SCOTUS and what channel we air the corruption trials on
Sir #DavidAttenborough “Things are going to get worse. This is the new extinction. We are in terrible, terrible trouble and the longer we wait to do something about it, the worse it is going to get." #ClimateEmergency
David Attenborough, the voice of Our Planet: “Things are going to get worse”
The voice of some of the most stunning nature documentaries ever made is pessimistic about the future of wildlife on earth.

I realise the details are unlikely to be forthcoming, but I'd like to to know more about why OpenAI and Anthropic are unable to set up secure test environments without internet connectivity. It doesn't appear a particularly difficult task.
The data center mania happening at a time when climate change is already such a serious and obvious problem feels like a taunt. You are pissing me off on purpose
Jeff Sharlet@jeffsharlet.bsky.social · last wk."By the end of 2030," reports NYT, the amount of energy used by data centers"is expected to quadruple, eclipsing the power used by all countries in South America and Africa combined." This is extinctionism.
imo the ideal Odysseus would've been Gene Wilder, but we would never have deserved that movie.
prayed for the first time before having dinner tonight bc the gov cut funding and im about to eat this lettuce
Yn a worlde where the humanityes are being systematicallye defunded by both the righte and the lefte, the internet ys one big seminar about the meaninge of *The Odyssey.* Ther ys a lesson yn thys somewher. And the lesson ys: funde the humanityes.
I think the push for Democratic Socialism is completely logical reaction to the RNC's Kleptocratic Fascism and the DNC's Corporatist Centrism.
Grateful to have a garden, to be in a CSA, and to be in range of grocery stores that offer local produce. Everyone should have access to safe, healthy food, and it’s become abundantly obvious that increasingly consolidated agribusiness is NOT the way to achieve that. Local growers are the way to go.
Hey so turns out discovering why we used to have all those food safety regulations in the first place is not all that much fun
I love running for itself, but I love it even more for keeping the “maybe I could be in shape while still eating anything I want, even at my age” dream alive.
Tomorrow I’m gonna try to find out the answer to the question “Is it just my mind holding me back from running 2 or 3 miles instead of 1, or will my knees snap in half like matchsticks if I try it?”
