@design_law You laugh, but this was a whole thing after WWII, during 'Atoms for Peace'. Super seeds for your atomic garden, anyone?

Our rights are being stripped away and Feinstein is blocking judges from being confirmed

Resign. Whatever legacy you had is gone.

When they're playing your jams as background music at the airport, you know you're getting old. When they start playing them in the elevator, you know "old" is in the rearview mirror.

Extremely lukewarm take based on hearing a song over the airport speakers: The Sammy Hagar era of Van Halen is underrated. Did it hit the highs of the David Lee Roth era? No. Was it super-consistently listenable, with really catchy rock singles? Yes. FIGHT ME, or don't, if this opinion matters to you we're both old and will get winded after ten seconds of exertion.

So, now we’ve got police going to the wrong address and shooting innocent civilians, and white civilians shooting innocent black kids who ring the wrong doorbell. The persistence of hate narratives and shoot-first-ask-questions-later knee jerk reactions show how absolutely dangerous an #NRA fueled gun society is. Their answer: More Guns! Because β€œguns aren’t the problem. People are the problem.” My question: So why in God’s name would you give guns to the problem?

I moved to California in the '97 El NiΓ±o, and my most vivid memory was standing at my office window in Santa Barbara, watching another employee's car float down the street. He hadn't moved it fast enough to get out of the rising water in the parking lot.
We've already seen Tulare Lake come back, what else will happen with even more rain?

The odds are very high that 2023 will be the hottest year you have ever experienced, and potentially the most catastrophic. That's because the probability of a new El NiΓ±o phase starting within a few months is now pegged at around 80%.

I'll have more to say later this week about how bad things could get and what you might do to prepare. But for now, just be aware that this is no joke, we are genuinely in a climate emergency. 🚨

"zero chance that he didn't understand what signing documents 'under penalty of perjury' meant"

*Without* accountants and attorneys, he's a justice on the highest court in the country. If he doesn't know what "under penalty of perjury" means, he has to resign.

To be clear, Clarence Thomas isn't sitting at the kitchen table with TurboTax. At this level, he's got accountants and lawyers, and there is zero chance that he didn't understand what signing documents 'under penalty of perjury' meant. These were nothing more than attempts to conceal bribes, mired in his firm belief that he'd never be held accountable.

Republicans should be the ones to push him out.

Rooting for a problematic global corporation wasn't on my 2023 bingo card, alas here we are.

Now I know why old people (like myself) are so cranky all the time - it’s from watching a lifetime of injustices perpetuated on those who can’t fight back.
I’m not getting more conservative the older I get, I’m getting more angry at the bloody hateful conservatives πŸ˜‘

In many ways, my mother was my idol. At Christmas dinner one year, she ordered some guests - a work colleague and her husband - out of our home because the man went on a homophobic rant.
She taught me that it's not "I disagree, but to act would be socially awkward", it's "No. Not in my house".

Just read that it’s law that you have to turn your headlights on when it’s raining in Sweden.

How the hell am I supposed to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
