And isn’t Mychal taking on Reading Rainbow? He’s a gem; I’ve got to look and see if he’s on blue sky. I followed him on the previous app.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

The “technology has a much higher carbon capture efficiency—90%—and much lower energy use…. the focal point is ‘taking that CO2 and turning it into a bioplastic monomer with promising stability and economics.’

Researchers have invented a system that captures carbon dioxide from ocean water and converts it to succinic acid, a key monomer used to make the commonly used biodegradable plastic polybutylene succinate. cen.acs.org/environment/... #chemsky 🧪

He has become a mini-trump in his ability to spew absolute nonsense. How is any single part of that statement true? Especially the “working around the clock “??

You have a wider experience.

(And sorry-not-sorry but I will post photos of you whenever I feel like it.)

“For if we ever fully belonged—if we were completed—we would lose the very condition that makes love possible.”

A thoughtful, provocative essay.

It prompted this in me: loving my community is sorta like loving my own body — it isn’t perfect; it’s mine & I accept it even as I try to improve it.

This. Exactly.

And we were taught it was just about getting into heaven: a watered-down, weak-tea, shadow of the Good News.

Trey Ferguson @pastortrey05.com · 2d

A disembodied gospel is no Good News at all.

The gospel is incarnational.

I believe that we will see the goodness of God in the land of the living.

Ok, but can’t the judge just say ALL national guard units until requested by the Governor and some other (s)?

“Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary.”
👍👍👍

Timothy Snyder @timothysnyder.bsky.social · 3d

One of the lessons I discuss in "On Tyranny":
Listen for dangerous words.

Text card: Listen for dangerous words.
Be alert to the use of the words extremism and terrorism. Be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary.

Oregon AG Rayfield: Huge win at this moment in our democracy right now.

This is the president that is normalizing the use of the United States military in our country.

So to get this strong of a ruling out today for the public to see—it’s incredibly important.
