No one understood the importance of scientists engaging in society more than #JaneGoodall.

Though she lived a long, vibrant life, I still felt sad today, knowing that we lost an incredible ambassador for science, whose empathy, curiosity, and resilience inspired me and countless others.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick.

Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

Sure. Left wing terrorism is at an all time high, going from 3% of domestic terror fatalities to 4%. Right wing terrorism on the other hand has dipped to an all time low of 95%

So technically, yeah.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

The #UncensoredLibrary was started back in 2020 by #ReportersWithoutBorders and #BlockWorks. It's a cool digital library safe from government #censorship.

www.minecraft.net/en-us/articl....

Below the view of the Minecraft Uncensored Library, it says,

'A GIANT virtual LIBRARY now exists inside Minecraft! It contains articles, journals, and press freedom reports from countries where media is censored or restricted. The design is elaborate - a grand neoclassical-style structure with halls dedicated to different nations.

I was raking leaves on the lawn when I uncovered the god.

"Leave me alone!" it commanded. "I'm decomposing."

"Oh," I said. "Will it take long?"

"Unless I find a believer..."

"I'm an atheist."

"Hmph. I'll be gone by spring."

"Shall I cover you?"

"I command it!"

I'll check that pile in spring.
