“Do you see the way that tree bends? Does it inspire?” Retired English teacher. Current enemy of invasive species and champion of restoring native habitats in California. Oh settle down, I’m talking about plants! No DMs/solicitation/bullshit, please.

One of the oldest cattle ranches in Northern California, recently on the market for $16.9 million with the promise of delivering a stunning “piece of the American West,” is set to be purchased and permanently protected by the nonprofit Wildlands Conservancy.

I have a bigger-picture take on Meta's settlement. If your platforms are so toxic that they're detrimental to the health of kids, then you need a top-down re-engineering of your algorithm and incentive structures. We need federal regulation, transparency, and algorithm changes.

I can’t believe this is a post that I am making. It has been confirmed by MSNOW, that the sailor who tried to commit suicide…by jumping off the USS Lincoln…is being charged by the Navy…and may face a cut in pay I would like to say “FUCK YOU,” to every member of this administration.

As a dual citizen born and raised in the US, and as a former US Marine now living in Canada as a Canadian citizen….I can tell you that I’m ONLY a Canadian. The US is a third rate shithole compared to Canada, full stop! The irony is, Americans think their country is special. It’s not!
