@mcuban.bsky.social now, hear me out...

we live in an extraordinarily wealthier society than our parents and grandparents. our problem is that we have not invested enough of that wealth in social goods, but i don’t think anyone actually wants to return to a time when even a “good” factory job was backbreaking labor

Well, looks like he's gotten back up to speed with his... skills... pretty quickly. Just like riding a bike!

cool how Project 2025 went viral during the election, we were told Trump disavowed it and wouldn't do it, he got elected and started implementing it immediately and now we're being told "well this is what people voted for"

they very explicitly did not

-7F. Too cold for the GPS, but I was toasty warm!

Don’t be glum about the long, cold winter. Look around: the trees are busy, not sleeping. When the temperature permits, cells in this bud are dividing, maturing into flowers, leaves, stems. The cambium, maker of all the trees, is preparing for its spring festivities. Be like a tree: keep growing.

In this part of the film, the humans have began arguing whether their peril is caused by humans, or humans

To an asshole, all virtue is "virtue signaling."

A new study published in Social Psychological & Personality Science reveals that highlighting shared values between U.S. Republicans and Democrats can reduce perceived polarization and foster hope. #PoliticalDivide #SharedValues #ReducingPolarization #HopeInPolitics #UnityInDiversity

Today (Interestingly NOT the day of the solstice) is the day of the earliest sunset in Green Bay, WI: 4:12 PM. The solstice, aka the shortest day of the year, is actually the midpoint between the earliest sunset (today) and the latest sunrise (Jan 2)

RS if you are a Champion of Light who has completed the Trials of Virtue.

Genuinely makes me sad that history is filled with so many incredible fascinating stories yet the most popular history show on Netflix is some dipshit looking at old civilisations and just going "looks like they used secret technology or magic to build this"

Dreamt of swimming in wild rivers warm days in the woods last night. A strong sense of longing for days and nights spent in the wild gives purpose for the preparations of winter.

Our new study shows that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein accumulates & persists in the body for years after infection, especially in the skull-meninges-brain axis, potentially driving long COVID. mRNA vaccines help but cannot stop it🔬🧠🦠🧵Your weekend read👇

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is one of our most efficient agencies. Costs less than $1B a year & has fought to return over $20B directly to Americans.

But I guess it makes sense that a billionaire wants to eliminate one of the agencies that fights for working people. 🤷🏾‍♂️

stock up on maple syrup i guess.

The full low-down on RFK Jr.’s connection to a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa and, just as important, how he lied about it. That’s key. Kennedy is an inveterate liar. He makes up facts & plots, and he lies about what he himself has said. Another con man.

One of the eleventy billion things that @bsky.app does better than other (predatory) social networking platforms is the fact that it lets video / audio play in the background, without the tab / window being active.
