Resist. Don’t obey in advance. Hold them accountable. Swimmer, biker, hiker. I know stuff. Always learning. Grandpa. Retired. Husband for 44 yrs. Science is good. I love science fiction fantasy and historical nonfiction. Hearing aid user.

If someone would have told me 20 years ago that the US government would actively pursue policy and actions to make Canada an enemy I would have dismissed it outright, but here we are.

яepubliKKKans: when they win the elections were fair and the people have spoken, when they lose the elections were rigged and democrats hate America. Do I have that right?

My We Energies gas and electricity bill for 6/9 to 7/9 was $28. Lots of AC use the past month, electricity consumption up from last year. With my new solar/battery electricity was no charge. Summer is the largest season for electricity usage, my solar/battery is providing all my electricity.

Next time someone tries arguing that it’s “social engineering” (cue ominous music) to give people more CHOICE to walk, bike & take public transit in their city, tell them that designing our current car DEPENDENCY has been the largest and most damaging social engineering experiment in human history.

Highway filled with car congestionLow density suburban sprawl filled with roads and cookie cutter subdivisions.

Forever DST is being talked about, again. I don’t have a preference. I do think about how ST/DST happens everyday in every timezone. The sun sets and rises 1 hour later on the western edge of a timezone compared to the eastern edge. Cross a timezone… /1

I cannot recall a time in my life when fires in Minnesota and Ontario made it so smoky here where I live. The smell is like being in a smoker, I can see the smoke blowing/drifting in the breeze and everything outside is lit up in an orange haze.

MAGA: 2016 was fair! (Obama was President) 2020 was rigged! (Trump was President) 2024 was fair! (Biden was President) They’re going to rig 2026! (Trump is President) Why is Donald Trump so fucking bad at securing elections according to MAGA?

They say books won’t change the world. Tell that to every colonizer who burned them. To every enslaved person who was punished for reading. Literacy is resistance. Literacy is liberation. The library is a battlefield.

Good news! The First Amendment already has this covered. The Establishment Clause bars the government from establishing or enforcing religious law, whether it’s Sharia, biblical law, or any other faith’s code.
