Senator, I do not recall any primary or secondary ‘sex’ characteristics of this brassica you’ve mentioned. I simply complimented them on their beautiful flowers and hearty leaves as any red blooded American brassicavore would.

I think one of the greatest joys of existence is the individual discovery of brassica oleracea.

For me it was a 2008 episode of Good Eats back before Alton Brown came out as just another Georgia conservative… sigh.

This got lost enough that I, at least, didn't see it. Tr*mp sues Penguin Random House for $15 billion for publishing a book that cast him in a negative light. Going after comedians is indeed terrifying. Going after publishers is at least equally terrifying.

As we all continue to shout into the void, I go back to this central point about Donald Drumpf, if one’s mission was to destroy this country from within, would you do anything differently?

Maybe @radiofreetom.bsky.social might have some suggestions. He’s really smart.

I get the sentiment, but this is one of the few times Durbin’s been right in the last couple years.

It would take a rewrite of those statues from scratch which would have to pass both houses.

Trump will just renege on any verbal or written agreement that isn’t backed by an airtight statute.

the answer to the trolley problem is not to pick who to sacrifice, it’s to dismantle the system that led to an unsafe trolley crossing.

if any part of your morality strategy involves picking a group to let die on a hill, throw the entire strategy out. it’s wrong.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

Tired: Kids spend too much time of their screens

Wired: Kids spend too much time talking to ChatGPT

Julia Carrie Wong @joolia.bsky.social · 11d

Some parents are letting their kids talk to ChatGPT in the guise of characters. Some are using it to tell bedtime stories or create coloring books.

"My son thinks ChatGPT is the coolest train loving person in the world. The bar is set so high now I am never going to be able to compete with that.”

‘My son genuinely believed it was real’: Parents are letting little kids play with AI. Are they wrong?

Some believe AI can spark their child’s imagination through personalized stories and generative images. Scientists are wary of its affect on creativity

Chicago, Illinois, 2025:

"They had the Black people in one van, and the immigrants in another van."

"They was bringing the kids down, had them zip-tied to each other."

"I kept asking, 'What is the morality?' One of them laughed. He said, 'Fuck them kids.'"
