I can read much faster than almost all people can speak. By the time they get to the point, I've lost interest if I have to listen to it.

They aim to tank our public lands as profit centers, then they will sell off our lands & develop them. They've discussed it for years, and the conversation has increased since January. Senator Mike Lee, GOP-UT, has been a big mouth about privatizing our public treasures and history. Get WIDE AWAKE 🕯️

What if "you get richer as you get older" is actually just "you live as long as your money holds out"?

Fun to see the last name of the Director of Photography on the side of an 18-wheeler truck near the end of the latest episode of "Pluribus." I happened to notice it because it was unusual and then saw it again in the credits.

The county, which includes Houston, is critical to both parties' statewide ambitions, but has been blue for about decade.

SCOOP—In August, nearly 200 current/former FEMA staffers published the Katrina Declaration, a whistleblower letter detailing all the dangers posed by current leadership.
All current employees were put on indefinite leave, and now I've learned one has been fired in violation of federal protections:

Oddly enough, another current FEMA employee who signed the Katrina Declaration was notified on Tuesday that no further disciplinary action would be taken against her because she was protected by the Whistleblower Protection Act and the First Amendment.

My least favorite phrase to hear people bandy when any conflict emerges is "they're people too." As if personhood has ever stopped someone from being a monster. As if acknowledging the personhood of others has ever protected you from their actions. People do terrible things to people even knowing.

We have the rise of the Ottoman Empire & their vast trading networks to thank for the name of the North American bird we call a turkey.
Why do we call these birds "turkeys"?
Add this to the list of "European explorers are bad at naming things". EVERYTHING new was "turkish" because of rising cultural influence of the Turkish (Ottoman) Empire.
Corn: "Turkish wheat"
Pumpkins: "Turkish cucumbers"
And that's how you get Turkey-cock.
