@Frances_Larina for $3000 extra you can get the brakes that stop as well as the brakes on a 1998 Subaru, otherwise only half as well.

CREW:

The fact that Tim Scott is refusing to say he’d follow the law and not try to overthrow the results of a free and fair election should scare anyone listening. This is how democracies end.

👇🏼
WELKER: Will you commit to accepting the 2024 election results?

TIM SCOTT: At the end of the day, the 47th president will be Donald Trump

WELKER: Wait -- yes or no, will you accept the results?

TIM SCOTT: That is my statement

@GottaLaff this sounds to me like he'd want to help with the coup if Donald loses a free and fair election.

thinking about rebuilding our public squares in a hybrid digital age

  1. encourage public entities to share public info on public channels, not private platforms

  2. embrace sharing in real life, use email, snail mail, private messenger, radio, newspaper, public forum, neighborhood scale gathering

  3. create and use nonprofit and publicly owned social sharing platforms, but prioritize real life sharing when possible

Mercedes has opened a website to help convince workers that unions are bad. You might have questions for them, many many questions....

They allow 200 characters per question but you can ask questions all night, until their inbox explodes.

Tuesday, April 16 🌸 🎂🎉🥳🎊🎈🎁

  1. Awoke to “Happy Birthday” texts & calls from family. So very grateful for twin sons, their loving wives & amazing children - & my 94 y/o sister who still thinks of me as a toddler. 🤣

  2. Grateful too for this quiet, peaceful life I’m so privileged to lead, my comfy casita, & my garden with blooms, birds & critters.

  3. Splurged & bought my very fave -halibut- for dinner!

  4. Bonus: Two mallards zoomed on a low pass through my yard yesterday like Blue Angels in their F/A-18s.

@elaterite A few decades ago, he approved a Run for the Far Side fun run in Golden Gate Park to raise funds for the Academy of Sciences. That might have been his only sponsorship. They had a large Science of the Far Side exhibit, with some of his original sciencey art.
