This is a letter I received TODAY, February 11, 2025 Please don’t expect Josh Shapiro to emerge as a leader for us. That’s a hopeless cause and should be dismissed outright. He is complicit. He’s not a solution, he’s part of the problem. How many Republican governors have said this about Barack Obama or Joe […]
commentary
The brain is a physical organ.
I found an article about inappropriate things professionals in healthcare settings have been heard saying, and a lot of it is pretty bad.
American medical science journal now ruined and untrustworthy.
The Donald, being completely senile at this point, will probably believe they can pull one over and replace it with the recently debuted Brownturd Journal of Great Barrington Bullshit.
Tech tycoons forcibly buying rural America.
“They want to build their own private city in Solano County, and they’re crushing farmers with lawsuits to do it.”
Tycoons are again making company towns, and they’re even more dystopian.
There’s no way I want to live as some dystopian feudal subject…
Coast Guard purge is about hatred of women and a preoccupation with the border.
It’s really just petty and grotesque.
Deer brain disease found in the region of Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania.
“Two male deer have tested positive for chronic wasting disease (CWD) in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania…”
Multiple motivations behind atrocities.
“She labels those who killed ‘joiners’, because they were motivated not primarily by a desire to kill Tutsi but by a desire to be fully part of the group that was taking part in the killing (Fujii, 2009).”
Politicians are out of touch.
Politicians are in info cocoons, just like we all have a tendency to be these days, and they’re not listening, or maybe not hearing enough from enough of us.
Schools don’t have to overturn ADA compliance based on White House central government DEI edicts.
That isn’t the American way things work, but people elected to school boards may not be familiar with Schoolhouse Rock.
There are no policies other than Trump policies.
Does anyone know how government works anymore?
Why do people just accept putting up with contaminated information?
I’m not against media literacy education, but that’s not going to solve everything because it’s just too time consuming to research everything yourself.
Susquehanna County Pennsylvania free library fires the librarian because of LGBTQ+ books.
“Hundreds of people on Monday protested the termination of the Susquehanna County Library’s administrator and demanded for the protection of LGBTQ+ books.”
Don’t listen to bad advice on civic engagement.
If you want to engage in democracy, consider carefully about where you get advice.
Donald Trump has repeatedly wrong economic advisor Kevin Hassett working on bird flu.
Kevin Hassett is an economist with a history of being way wrong. At a press briefing, the Trump administration spokesperson Karoline Leavitt explicitly blamed the egg prices on the Biden administration’s Department of Agriculture quote “directing the mass killing of 100 million chickens.” Of course this was because of avian influenza and the threat posed […]
Gaslighting & manufacturing normal to minimize concerns is not the right direction to go in.
The coverage of threats by the media and the statements from community leaders are an exercise in elite panic, and that’s certainly not what we need.
Trump & Elon downsizing the government.
Trump administration offers all federal workers Elon Musk Twitter styled job buyout framed as a way to avoid Return To Office mandates.
Trump administration attempts to impound appropriations under the responsibility of Congress.
The odd memo out of the White House that started freezing access to Medicaid portals and threatened to shut down daycares is some pretty wild overreach…
Bizarre RFKJR confirmation hearing.
RFKJr is a terrible anti-vaxxer. But there are so many other problems as well with him taking over the entirety of the federal healthcare in the US. The threat can’t be overstated.
No social media platform is a safe space – people need to diversify.
I’ve been saying this for years, that people are foolish if there’s only one social media platform where they say something or publish important information. But even among the people who’ve heard me, most have never listened to me. I think mainly because people fall in love with a platform, they are habit forming. They […]
