Time to ban all e-motos., e-mopeds, e-fatbikes, any e-bike that has a throttle, goes faster than 25 km/h, or weighs over 25 kilograms.
Alternatively, If it can go faster than 25 km/h, then it's a motor vehicle, can't be driven by anyone under 16, & needs a licence & registration to go on the road.

More people should use this service.
I just received 5 of my cardiac meds from Mark Cuban Cost Plus Pharmacy. The cost with shipping and without insurance was $43.00. With insurance at a “preferred“ pharmacy would have been 3X that. Doesn’t seem pointless to me.

Wholeheartedly agree.

If people think high prices in the grocery stores is tough times, just wait until climate induced food shortages start materializing on a global scale ☹️ I doubt people will be worried about ‘real’ cheese or ‘fake’ meat at that point, and most will regret not heeding vegans’ warnings 😔 #deforestation

When an elephant feels excited, they tend to reach for the nature around them to express their joy. They might grab a branch and show it off, drag it, or toss it into the air. They circle around and use their back feet to kick, sending sticks and mud flying. Bushes, shrubs, and small trees are often

With everything else going on this week… I have also been renovating my parents’ bathroom. Please enjoy this before and (almost, there’s a little more to do) after.

I was wondering why there was no more news about that.
Not enough people know that you don't hear about the holes in the ozone layer anymore because an international agreement banning production of chlorofluorocarbons was wildly successful and the ozone has recovered since.
Change is possible.
None of this is inevitable.
We can choose differently.
