A gunman tried to silence my wife in an extreme act of political violence.
Now, Trump has called for my execution because he didn’t like what I had to say.
Gabby and I know, when others try to silence you, you must keep speaking out — and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.

I went to one of the many No Kings protests on Saturday. There was a huge crowd of peaceful protestors and great energy. Peaceful protest is patriotic!

Another batch of baby chicks are hatching at our house!!! This will be our hen's second brood. So far, just two! The white chickens are from the batch earlier this year! They have just started laying and are very interested.

Since I am a huge geek, I checked this meme for accuracy. This quote is from the episode The Hunted (Enterprise reviews a plant's application for Federation membership and encounters an escaped prisoner). The quote is "'A matter of internal security' - the age old cry of the oppressor."

I am sad that Charlie Kirk was killed because I want to live in a country where we settle our differences through debate and voting. A political assassination should never be celebrated. However, we should not describe him as a fair and reasonable man:

4 weeks ago, our hen hatched seven (out of ten) of the fertilized eggs I put under her!
Today we have SIX adolescent chickens! They grow amazingly fast. (We lost one, to a very determine hawk. I was sad, but it was still an amazing sight to witness.)

So will I, emulating you, while thinking of it privately as the Gulf of Scalzico.
I personally will continue to use "Gulf of Mexico" because our president is a wrathful felonious nincompoop with the intellect of paramecium and I do not consent to his cartographic buffoonery
Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:
-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.
-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

I went to a dumpling making party yesterday. While my dumpling making skills (mine are on the right) were not up to the skills of others, it was still fun! (And, even less pretty dumplings are still tasty!)

An intriguing post. I read through the research linked, and while I'm not a virologist, it all seems legit. I'm really curious why this harm-reducing, reasonably safe product isn't available in the U.S.
YMMV but I've found antiviral nasal sprays helpful for avoiding #COVID19 when going to high-risk events—and I'm off to a rock concert next week to see Leon Bridges. I thought you might like to know about this too! thinkingscifi.wordpress.com/2025/01/11/b...
