This post got me to look at your profile. Wow, congratulations on the book, and thank you for tackling the most important issues of our time (aside from climate change).

It’s not a government, it’s a REGIME.

I like the creative way you think!

I keep coming to the same conclusion myself, and my ancestry goes back to the Mayflower, literally.

I think we should be informing local government officials, and the media, in each of the host cities, that we are actively discouraging foreign visitors from making the trip here as spectators.

Absolutely delighted by Indiana University’s resounding victory over U of Oregon tonight! I know it’s inconsequential in the grand scheme, and that I’m being petty, but the motherDuckers helped screw my alma mater out of an entire conference (Pac 12), so I make no apologies.

She can invest more energy in egg production, though, and remain more cryptic and less vulnerable to predators.

The insect of the day is a pair of Fall Cankerworm moths. This is the male, I’ll post the very different female in comments. Leavenworth, Kansas, USA, January 5, 2026. #bugsky #moths #insects

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Brilliant. LOL! Thank you. 😊

Per the IKEA instructions for reconstruction, maybe we’ll have some extra human rights left over when we’re finished!

Right?!

Gerrymandering and voter suppression is the way to “legally” rig elections. This is happening as we speak.

This makes me so happy! Sick and tired of Georgia every year.

Wow! That is probably my favorite park in Oregon (I grew up in Portland, but spent as much time as I could on the sunny side of the Cascade Mountains). ❤️
