100% in agreement.
“Candidate A supports 90% of what I believe in. Candidate B only supports 10% of what I belive in. Therefore, both candidates fail to support 100% of what I believe in and I will not vote for either.”
And that’s how we got here.

Wiarton Willie 🇨🇦 seemed to be more optimistic about an early spring when compared to Punxsutawney Phil 🇺🇲. A sign of the times we live in, surely. #GroundhogDay
Happy Groundhog Day to people who reject climate science, but do believe in weather predictions from captive rodents.

Catherine O'Hara. Thank you for everything. We were very fortunate to have witnessed your acting repertoire for more than three decades.

In the early days of iPhone apps, there was one that showcased the most famous speeches in human history, like Lincoln's Gettysburg address. This speech from @mark-carney.bsky.social should easily rank among the best in the past century, if not all of human #history.

Perfectly illustrates the current state of the online media and the polarized society, with the "real" existential issues coming at us thick and fast.

It's vibe coding only if you don't know what you're doing. A software engineer using AI to speed up development isn't vibe coding. Someone who's never developed anything and doesn't know how AI generated code works is vibe coding.

I love quirky liveries on airplanes. This was a special one because it combined two off my interests: #StarWars and airplanes.
End of an era, as this airplane completes its final flight with this C-3PO livery, with the R2-D2 livery retired last year. #avgeek

this is a fascinating statistic. i would assume this is to a great degree simply the obvious fact that green energy is by definition a growth sector. fossil fuels is not, notwithstanding the big run up in production in FF in the last 20 years.
Wall Street’s biggest banks made more money financing green projects than they did from working with fossil fuel companies for a fourth straight year, even as they faced ongoing pressure to pull back from the business

This 100%. The "subtext" of #history and the "context" of events are more important than simply the names of the belligerents or the headline results.
Military history devoid of social, cultural, diplomatic, literary etc forms of history is essentially meaningless. Knowing what soldiers and armies did in battle without understanding why they did them, the cultures that produced them, or the industries that supported them is pointless.

The original GOAT airplane in terms of its versatility. #aviation
On this day in 1935, the DC-3 first took flight. From ushering in passenger air travel to a leading role in WWII to remaining a workhorse in the world’s most inhospitable climates 90 years later, the DC-3 continues to be a true aviation icon.

I thought the back covers of books were reserved for such details, and for deeper questions you had to, I don't know, actually read the book?

I don't understand most of these carbon removal projects. I think right now, the most effective carbon removal strategy is to grow a tree, and then burry it like 30 feet underground and let it turn into coal. We really don't have anything that works better than that.
