@yukari Enjoy. I've become an all TWSBI person. The rest of my pens are now stored in shoeboxes. Sad, I know.

“We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights,” Carlson texted Jan. 4, 2021. “I truly can’t wait.”

“I hate him passionately,” Carlson added.

@lauren I'm sure he would. Musk is envious of and hates smart engineers and scientists. They are what he wishes he could be and pretends to be. This is why he invests in tech companies that provide plenty of opportunities to pretend that he's the brains. He isn't. Never was

Musk seems like the sort of guy who would have made fun of Stephen Hawking because Hawking had "a silly sounding voice."

@schwa It doesn't matter to him now. But it will later. A lawsuit in this case looks like a slam dunk and very expensive. Right wingers have gotten into the habit of letting it all hang out these days because they believe they'll overthrow the government before the bills come due.

Admittedly, it's not fair that driving around a Tesla these days is to many onlookers like wearing a giant MAGA hat and a sign that says "Making fun of people with disabilities is so cool!" -- No, it isn't fair. But that's what sleeping with Musk these days will get you.

@MJmusicinears All this will do is drive it underground and create more business for criminals.

This is what happens. Always. The ancient Chinese wrote about it. Nothing new. You cannot legislate away something that people want to do. They will find a way to do it anyway. Always.

Please pay attention to GOP in Georgia: they just passed a bill in Senate to give GOP ability to remove any prosecutor. This is 100% so they can remove DA Fani Willis who is on verge of indicting Trump. GOP is willing to change law to protect Trump! ajc.com/politics/georgia-das-c

Three reminders:

"Handmaid's Tale" has already been here the whole time, it was pointed at racialized women.

Racism is fascism that hasn't yet come for the white people.

The future is already here, it's just unevenly distributed.

Fascinating story of ingenuity by a stranded motorist in Oregon who attached his phone to a drone in order to get reception & send a distress message.

He inadvertently saved another motorist who had been stranded for days nearby but was found when SAR was deployed for the drone caller.

If you have a dog like mine who enjoys sticking their schnoz in your armpits—stay with me here—then they might have a bright future as a covid "sniffer" pup.

New research shows they're good at it.

"These findings support the idea that biodetection dogs could help reduce the spread of the virus in high-risk environments, including airports, schools, and public transport."

Left-Wing Authoritarianism

“Similar to right-wing authoritarianism, left-wing authoritarianism entails hostility towards ‘different’ others, a willingness to wield in-group authority to coerce behaviour, cognitive rigidity, aggression and punitiveness towards out-groups, a focus on status hierarchies and moral absolutism.”

@knittingknots Yes. Since the mid-90s, the U.S. military "The Pentagon" has considered climate change to be the biggest threat to U.S. security over the next 50 years. As climate change advances it expects unprecedented global unrest. Millions will be displaced, food and water supplies for much of the world will be impacted, and it's going to get real ugly.

So, yeah.
