What is a democratic socialist?
Think of it as the best of both worlds. A robust market for luxuries and competition; but a tax-funded floor that guarantees necessities for all citizens. The system is also called "Nordic Model Socialism."

The results from my biopsy:
- Malignant epithelioid neoplasm
Not good. Not good. I will have them cut it out and do chemo and radiation. All the things.

Trump removed the U.S. Coast Guard's Admiral Fagan, the first female branch chief of any U.S. military service in history, because she was female and for no other reason.

Me, I welcome homeless animals. If they need food, shelter, or just to be protected from predators, It's my duty to provide. Sure, some animals have become feral. There is always some small number of animals crossing the southern border of my yard that bite the hand that feeds them. That's natural.

When you make a new "friend" and they immediately inbox you with "Hello, how are you today?" I block them immediately.

I will never forget that half of the U.S. thinks that Trump is at all qualified or fit for the presidency. I honestly thought better of "mainstream" Republicans. I will now view my peers with so much more cynicism and disgust.

I survived my biopsy surgery. Now, we wait. They told me 3-5 days until we know if it is malignant or not. Let's all decide that it's benign, and our combined observational bias will force Schrodinger's Tumor to collapse into reality as non-malignant.

The oxygen we breath is older than our sun. Our sun only makes helium. We have never received or made NEW oxygen on this planet. It is simply constantly recycled. Animals breathe oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, then plants and algae absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.

I'm having surgery tomorrow. I've had exactly two surgeries in my life - tonsils at 6 years old, and adenoids at 35 years old. Tomorrow, I'm having a partial resection of a lumbar tumor. How do I feel about it? Dread.

I got to see my tumor today. It looks like a 1" round piece of cauliflower on the right side of my L2 vertebra. I'm having a biopsy next week. If it's benign, they will take it out laparoscopically in multiple small pieces. If it's malignant, they will perform a resection and take it all at once.

I read where a theist said, "Life cannot come from dirt and water. It REQUIRES a Designer."
That is, frankly, absurdly reductionist. Abiogenesis and evolution postulates a vast stew of interacting chemicals and molecules, all swirling and changing over eons in a dynamically energetic environment.

Let's dispel the notion that #atheists are "mad at god." We aren't angry. We simply do not accept any claim without convincing evidence. It really is that simple. And when those who do attempt to draft legislation, impose social rules, and indoctrinate children, we're going to balk.

Facebook suspended my account, saying that my Instagram account posted inappropriate content. Only the account they named wasn't mine. Now I can't use either because some porn link farm bot accessed my account. Welp, guess I'm a Bluesky guy now.
