It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Will everyone need a passport to enter a National Park, because how does the Ranger determine the fee otherwise?

Propaganda is increasingly a global issue. Education in the forms it takes, levers and strategies deployed, has never been more important. I created this Udemy course to empower people to see through coordinated operations, understand influence and evaluate credibility. www.udemy.com/course/propa...
Propaganda & Disinformation (Beginners)
Understand how manipulative propaganda and new technologies can be used to influence our world

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

A huge 89% majority of global people [56% even in the United States] want stronger action to fight the #ClimateCrisis, but mistakenly believe they’re in a minority.

People want action. Smart cities are taking action. Nations should support city action.

Activate climate’s ‘silent majority’ to supercharge action, experts say
Making concerned people aware their views are far from alone could unlock the change so urgently needed

NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

I’ve held onto this information about someone who could do great damage to our country, but now that the damage is already done, I feel the time is right.

It’s my patriotic duty to put this story out… behind a paywall.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

If you feel pressure to jump in and explain science right now: it’s okay to breathe. The fight where we’ll beat these people will be in elections, in courtrooms, in newsrooms, in labs, in (god help me) think tank conferences, and maybe most of all, in every classroom

People are just people, at the end of the day. Either you love people and you treat your neighbor as equal to you, however they present, OR you love passing judgment on who is and isn’t worthy of love and even life itself.

I know which way I want to spend my one precious life: loving. Hugs to all🏳️‍⚧️

The facts are complicated, but here’s a summary of what appears to have happened based on the filings and today’s hearing:
NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court.

Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet.

It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition.
