I'm old enough to remember when Joe Biden made a phone call to the hospital connecting Chris Licht with a top neurosurgeon who quickly assessed Licht's condition (near fatal brain aneurysm) making his treatment a top priority.
Licht later credited Biden for saving his life.
Yesterday, Licht set fire to democracy and Biden's agenda.
Chris Licht made it to the List of Deplorables.
Hello, hi.
I picked up a whole ton of new humans today so I'm making a post to help you acclimate.
✨ I own a portable planetarium and I take it to the smallest towns and weirdest places I can to reach people who would/could never visit a planetarium and show them the universe.
🧠When not doing that,I visit schools and daycares and do hands on STEM enrichment to foster creative problem solving and critical thinking.
When not doing that, I am obnoxious... on purpose.
BREAKING: CNN will be holding a live televised a town hall meeting on issues with AI, featuring Skynet and an audience consisting entirely of Terminators, Cylons, and Cybermen.
@Five_Eighths @ScottSoCal Was just thinking, Who TF chose mosquitoes over Rex??
@adamcsmith @ScottSoCal I would have made room for the baby T-Rex 🦖
Sexual assaulter" doesn't roll off the tongue well, and "sexual predator" downplays what #Trump did to #JeanCarroll.
Despite the possible redundancy, I'm going with "sexual molester" unless a more apt description presents itself.

@jffry @AutisticAdam @actuallyautistic my default at complicated coffee shops is an Americano 🤗
Several people in this thread have recommended I use "privacy.com" to create one-off credit card numbers to thwart the companies that hike autopay subscription rates. I took a look at it and discovered the company is in bed with Peter Thiel's evil Palintir.
No thanks.
Deer deliver in the strangest of places! If you find a fawn in your yard, leave it alone, do not touch, move or feed it. They have no scent and predators cannot find them unless humans interfere. Mom leaves during the day for 2 primary reasons: to feed, and to keep her scent away. Mom will return, but not until dusk and not if humans are around. If you discover the gift of a fawn enjoy the experience, and let the Mom do what comes naturally. Please share, thank you. #wildlife
@Hey_Beth @oliphant I’ve been here for over 4 years and have never condoned posting screenshots. In fact, I’ve argued against doing it and generally hate it as an idea.
However, we need to shut down these people posting as “leftists” whether they’re real or not. They’re intentionally speeding lies and misinformation in order to depress progressive activity and the vote. It’s an epidemic lately.
I cannot in good conscience ignore it any longer. Stakes are too high.
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.
