Real capitalists also know that the system functions on fiscal quarterly cycles.

Glacier National Park isn’t just a breathtaking landscape—it’s a living testament to the hard work of federal employees who care for our public lands. From park rangers & forestry crews to dedicated biologists, these individuals ensure that our natural treasures endure for future generations.

I’ve recently discovered @kanopyofficial.bsky.social - streaming through the LA public library ❤️❤️❤️. There’s a palpable diff b/w being tracked for purely private gain & being tracked where the library benefits a bit. I don’t mind SOME tracking, but I object to be wholly consumed as a data source 🙄

Tried the new “image playground” on Mac, & it couldn’t even come up with an image of Wynton Marsalis wearing a birthday hat. And that was my second, easier prompt.
