A lifetime of "thoughts & prayers" have done JACK-SQUAT to reduce or eliminate gun violence. We need to do MORE.

It is the GUNS.

#SadButTRUE 💔

One of my favorite authors was the gentle & wise E.B. White. I think about something he wrote a lot these days, "Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world, but has not solved one yet". May we all choose love over hatred, love over fear, love over self-interest.

Keep in mind that EVERYTHING he says or does going forward is to distract from the EPSTEIN files.

E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G.

People are reading AI-generated synopses of books and then claiming they read 100 books in a week. This is how the abolition of books began in Fahrenheit 451: classics were condensed into five-minute summaries for those too busy to do the reading. Later came the burnings.

People have no idea, not really, how this budget is about to wreck their very foundations.

People say, “There’s zero benefit to studying dead languages and old books.” The benefit is that you won’t grow up to become the sort of person who spends your one precious life online, yelling at strangers that they must never learn beautiful things.

#HappyPride for the next 335 days, too.

This is absolutely brutal. A +50% proposed cut to NASA Earth Sciences would decimate essential programs and tools needed to understand and monitor Earths ice, climate, hazards, oceans, forests and more. Crushing. arstechnica.com/space/2025/0...

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

I can’t stress enough how important it is for your mental health to take breaks from the internet, make plans with your loved ones, take up a craft or hobby, read for pleasure. Our brains were not made to be online 24 hours a day. You will not regret a life spent in this world.

You don’t have to apologize for protecting your mental health.

Self-care may mean getting food delivered instead of cooking. Maybe it’s sleeping in or ignoring phone calls.
You don’t need to be sorry for pajama gaming days.

You deserve rest.
Take care of you.

Whoever is doing this in the UK deserves an award.
