Wait… the anti-regulation task force designed to increase profits over people and the environment aren’t saving us money? Inconceivable!

Blaming anything on DEI hiring is the same as saying “if we had a white straight able-bodies male it wouldn’t have happened”. How does that sit with you?

Some unhinged individual decided to call in a threat to my kids school, spawning a lockdown with kids being send into dark rooms huddled into dark corners as they waited for police and faculty to declare an all clear.

I sincerely hope this gets more views on a less tyrannical platform such as Bluesky. “We plant the trees they eat the fruit” and “we come looking for the gold they stole” are great lines in Spanish

Leave it to the city of Los Angeles to produce a huge park that contains a Starbucks and drinking fountains and every imaginable pool of water with fountains and jets and not a single bathroom in the vicinity. You never cease to disappoint city of Angels.

Our soon to be president loves harping on Mexico, a country that not only provides an essential form of migrant labor essential for our way of life, soon to be our biggest import county, and now they sent their firemen to help our burning state. ¡Gracias Mexicanas!

My son and I went to Costco and filled the car with non perishables and went to the Pasadena evacuation area. We ended up helping the sheriffs and volunteers unload other cars. We saw organizations dropout of cases of masks and individuals dropping off so much to help. We even met Jose Andrés!

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder:

we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now.

the climate crisis is here, all around us

This Superman trailer shows us what a heroic man really does:
1. Asks for help
2. Embraces other men
3. Walking thru a crowd without pushing
4. Avoids a fight provocation
5. Protects and inspires children
6. Gives women space to walk, and provides comfort to them, and elevates them with him.

Science has taken better images of the Heart Nebula and it’s beautiful. I often wonder if aliens from other planets see all of our wasted potential on this planet as we focus so often on hating and killing each other instead of advancing our knowledge of the universe

I don’t want to force anybody into anything, but it’s a great time for Jason Segel to release a full length puppet-led vampire musical.

Notre Dame before & after is like Ally Sheedy before & after in The Breakfast Club.

Such a profound story of mental health with the joy of Johnathan Living Seagull and the depth of The Little Prince. Deeply moving

I'm totally OK with being called woke. It just means that I'm showing off my green flags. Happy to follow others with green flags.
