Some dorkwad told me I was jealous of Elon Musk because he is the “most successful person on the planet”.
I responded that I have one very important thing that Elon Musk will never have:
Enough.

I just don't know what to do with the gulf between "World leaders need to remain peaceful and diplomatic and intentionally vague because we can't piss off the US" and "the US is clearly not going to stop committing illegal acts of invasion and murder and making up lies to justify it"

I am very nervous about Greenland. The escalation of threats is so concerning. And I haven’t seen one credible thing to quell my fears.

I sure would hate to be an oil-rich country whose sovereignty the US doesn't recognize within easy striking distance of US soil. That would be scary!

Starting the 12 minute flight to Nanaimo from Vancouver. We get to 4,000 feet then we descend and land. It is so fast it’s kind of funny.

Corn products like tortillas are poor sources of folate known to cause deficiency, & people who consume diets high in corn flour products have increased adverse effects from folate deficiency, like neural tube defects. This health disparity is easily treated.
RFK is just ignorant, eugenicist trash.

Kennedy says adding folic acid to tortillas is “waging war” against poor residents. Folic acid has long been added to cereal and bread and the CDC website currently says it’s safe for those with the mutation mentioned in the thread Kennedy is replying to.

Pay close attention to who is saying that 14 year-olds *can* consent to sex with trump and other damp billionaires but *can’t* consent to gender affirming care provided in close and collaborative partnership with their doctor.

We are really living the movie Idiocracy. I went to Twitter to see all the comments complaining about California adding folic acid to tortillas, and wow. People have bought the MTHFR scam hook line and sinker.

They won’t leave. But the fact they moan about shows the level of their greed. They couldn’t spend their money, minus the taxes, in multiple lifetimes.
Billionaires are considering cutting or reducing their ties to California by the end of the year because of a proposed ballot measure that could tax the state’s wealthiest residents.
A Wealth Tax Floated in California Has Billionaires Thinking of Leaving
It’s uncertain whether the proposal will reach the statewide ballot in November, but some billionaires like Peter Thiel and Larry Page may be unwilling to take the risk.
