Music produces a kind of pleasure without which human nature cannot do. Consciousness is a spectator sport.
Resistance is not futile
Community members in Kenner, Louisiana, activate rapid-response teams to follow Greg Bovino and his Border Patrol goons through the neighborhood. They alert residents and warn them not to open their doors unless CBP has a court-ordered warrant.

starting point for future budgets for things that are good, "idk, how about triple it" bsky.app/profile/cost...
The entire R&D budget of the department of energy for renewable energy and energy efficiency is, or was, $3.5B. For the whole country! We should triple that number instead. bsky.app/profile/cost...
SpaceX gets a $5.9B contract.
All the renewable energy & energy efficiency R&D done by the Department of Energy is only $3.5B. Wind, solar, geothermal, electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, biofuels, weatherization, buildings, efficiency, state programs, manufacturing, everything. Total: $3.5B 🔌💡

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

The duty of every citizen of the United States is to make sure that the leaders of institutions that have capitulated to Donald Trump don’t just suffer a few days of bad publicity, but rather a lifetime of social and professional ostracism.

The Poverty Line is Not $140,000
A recent essay by Michael W. Green makes a very bold claim that the poverty line should not be where it is currently set — about $31,200 for a family of four — but should be much higher…

Suck it, Lord Humungus!
A motorcycle ... with an electric motor, so it never needs fuel ... and two foldable solar panels, so it can recharge while parked, thus needing no outlet.
Effectively infinite range. Total freedom.

You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

My name is literally Charlie Brown, and I can't tell you how confusing this all is.
This QT thread from yesterday made me so mad, because I'm always adding Charlie Brown to the ends of sentences, but only when speaking to my husband. You all stole my personal joke and I'll never forgive you
