My own opinion is that it's good to signal (through words and/or actions) the virtues that you value; that's one of the most important parts of maintaining a healthy community.

Over 15,000 doctors have signed a letter imploring the US Senate to reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation for Secretary of HHS.

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change.
Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk:

Thank you President Carter for your incredible leadership, legacy and life of service.
So, why did Donnie Coke Jr. and Charlie Kirk share a honeymoon suite on their little trip to Greenland? And order $3,000 worth of lube and condoms?
I made it up, but do feel free to spread it. Truth doesn't matter anymore, sweeties. 🤭
Good resistance news: An 'Achilles heel' discovered in antibiotic resistant bacteria. Scientists in Canada found the critical vulnerability: bacteria need zinc. Deprive them of the nutrient & their stability is disrupted making them susceptible to antibiotics again www.genengnews.com/topics/infec...
Imagine watching disaster movies like The Day After Tomorrow or 2012 and thinking that the apocalyptic weather scenes were the “unrealistic” part.
Turns out those scenes were almost bang on.
The unrealistic part was the humans working together to overcome the problem & save the world. Sigh.

i don’t claim the money for almost any of my songs besides edamame, lalala & gravy collabs.
gamers, animators, etc… go crazy 💅 go make your bag 🙂↕️
Any good resources that people know where we can donate that help people who are displaced during this tragedy?
I have a favorite song about driving a train while high on cocaine. But I’m not going to tell you what it is. You have to guess.
lots of devastation and negativity on the feed today.
i know this won’t solve anything, but maybe it’ll make someone smile and just forget for a small moment.
the beauty of the cosmos 🌌
An astrophysicist and a neurosurgeon concluded that the human brain and the universe basically grow as a result of similar physical principles.
Today’s House of Study goody looks at a myriad of similar connections, with many exquisite photos:
Mario Kart 7 greatly deforms some drivers' models to get them to fit into their karts. The greatest modification is made to Rosalina, whose legs are considerably shortened.
There's an enjoyable irony that all of my odd interests that folks belittled when I was young, that they'd never make money or matter - history generally, military history in particular, video games, Tolkien, Dune - are the things I have built my career, such as it is, on.

Fantastic illustration of the topic of social construction of pathology -- and of medical progress, since we no longer pathologies this.

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.
Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.
I really hope James Woods was able to save his Oscar… oh wait, that’s right. He never won one.
You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million.
That is a lie.
The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.
Every time I listen to BBC World Service radio I'm reminded how excellent it is. A comparatively balanced, nuanced, global perspective that we don't get to see much of from many other newsrooms.
From a FB post. Hey California friends…my friend’s dog sanctuary in Topanga has burned to the ground. 30 dogs looking for fosters ASAP. Please contact me if you can help, even help for a temporary basis it would do so much . Please call or text me on 248 520 0054
in his sheer genius, is always spot on!
Every single thing that everybody suddenly wants to do in Greenland - mine for minerals! use shipping lanes! set up bases! - can be done right now, while Greenland is part of Denmark. The discussion of "occupying" Greenland is just a pointless piece of aggression towards an ally.
Shortly after Citizens United, Jimmy Carter issued a stark warning about the role of Big Money in politics. May we remember the truths that he told us — and act to remedy them. bit.ly/4j6N1cC
If you can leave facebook, instagram, and threads that's great, but a lot of non-profits and indie creators have no choice but to stay for promotion and fundraising. Just try to remember that when making grand declarations of disgust and condemnation aimed at everyone who keeps using meta. 🧵
Watching parks and rec for the first time and I’m shocked that no one told me it was essential watching, especially since I’m obsessed with The Office. Y’all really let me down
