I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes.
Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

Just saw a post screenshotting this & saying they’d unfollowed me over it.
Some Dems are responding well, but some aren’t and the base is clearly mad about it. There *will* be primary challenges, and just like AOC in 2018, a few of them will be successful.
So … sorry for saying that out loud?

I have work to do but I'm distracted by watching US scientific progress & leadership being irreversibly undermined because a few unelected malcontents are penalizing researchers for following legal requirements set out by congressional orders to augment basic research with benefits to society.

Big fan of DuckDuckGo. I haven’t used Google to ‘google’ things in years.
Click on the magnifying glass icon in your browser bar, then select "DuckDuckGo" as your default search engine.

I feel like we remove power from amazon by NOT TALKING ABOUT AMAZON.
Mention the library. Mention the indie bookseller. Mention the direct stores.
LINK to the publisher or the direct store or the author website.
You don’t even have to bring up Amazon or link to them.

If you can, you should buy an EV right now. Especially one that can provide backup power.
Thats all Rivians, Kias, and Hyundais, the Leaf, the ID4, the Lightning, and a few others. No Teslas or Lucids except the CT. I doubt there are a lot of cybertruck buyers here, though.

How to Push Back
There is a reason Trump is afraid of the federal bureaucracy, the career civil servants he wants to replace.

I think I'm going to have to log off of the internet for a bit before the news cycle breaks my brain entirely. Hundreds of millennia of human evolution have not provided us the cognitive tools required to process this level of administrative chaos.

What the president has tried to do in the last 24 hours is illegal.
His actions threatened millions of Illinoisans' access to health care, food, and even fuel to heat their homes. I will stay vigilant in defense of IL because if you come for my people, you come through me.

Wait. This is how the White House is doing things? Screenshots of social media posts as official releases?
Here we are again. Issuing “policy” via social media. Official press releases referring to his posts. Incompetent staff that can’t even spell the country in question correctly. It’s Colombia.

She spent years dealing with loud, entitled customers who think they know everything, handling chaos with grace, and shutting down nonsense with a well-placed remark. Congress is just the world’s worst dive bar, and AOC is the only one who knows how to work the room.
