Dear New York Times,
Forcing women to give birth against their will is โbig government.โ Protecting an 88-year-old program like Social Security isnโt. Whether you agree with Biden on the fine points, itโs obvious that heโs trying to save rational, democratic government from the ongoing fascist assault. Thatโs why itโs so disheartening to see the Times adopt the cynical framing of the fascists, as this headline does.
About ten years ago a flying squirrel snuck into my house and spent a few hours playing hide-and-seek with my cat. Anyways. Here's the best photo you're likely to ever see of a flying squirrel hiding inside a #sunmicrosystems E4000 server chassis. #retrocomputing #mammals
Minimizing it also relies on the pile-on urge. "Oh, this is new and hot - I must be part of it!" leads to "Oh, this is old and tired - time to abandon it." That will work with a segment of the population, but not all.

He's the kind of leader every country should have, but few do.
Zelensky hugs BBC Ukrainian reporter at news conference
During a press conference, a BBC Ukrainian journalist rose to her feet and prefaced her question by saying she would like to give #Zelensky a hug, but would probably not be allowed.
โWhy not?โ Zelensky responded, before vacating his lectern and offering a warm embrace.

Follow people who post things that interest you, and you want to see more of. Then you'll start seeing things they follow and boost. Rinse and repeat, until your feed is what you want it to be.

While the GQP screams about censorship.
Maybe you could start the meetings with a big chart, showing them how the 1st amendment actually works? They seem confused.
Every so often, patience is rewarded. For 30 minutes I watched this tricolored heron fishing in a canal. He would be very still, tense up, then take wing & pounce on the fish. He then ventured down by a reflection of a yellow blossomed tree and I captured him in a โdanceโ above the water.

I don't have the authority to do this, but just so you know you've been heard:
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
