"Florida will eliminate climate change as a priority in making energy policy decisions, despite the threats it faces from hurricanes, extreme heat and toxic algae blooms.

On Wednesday, the state’s governor, Ron DeSantis, signed the legislation, which is set to go into effect on July 1. The measure also removes references to climate change in state law, bans offshore wind turbines in state waters and weakens regulations on gas pipelines."

@waltbaldwin Waiting to see the Gov's mansion blown up as a bubble of gas suddenly forms in a pocket under it. May it take all the state's lunacy AND Ronnie D. when it goes.

@afg I'd have an arborist look at it right away. We left a similar odd patch untreated in our Monterey pine, and it ate thru a good part of the trunk, leaving the tree in danger of smashing the house to flinders. Had to take it down a couple years ago. A trunk that size? Is gonna cost you a bomb. Get it seen to now.

Just so you know how much of a "not a joke" this plan to have Trump help to stop pornography is:

John McEntee is spearheading this. John McEntee is the POS who hands counterfeit bills to homeless folks so they will get arrested if they try to use the "money."

@gavi This is our California summer in the SF Bay Area. Temps go from highs of high 70s to lows of 40 (F) at night. More likely to be in the mid-60s in the daytime bc FOG. Where you?

why? why would you name your child that?

@gavi I knew someone named Peggy. All her friends called her Miss Piggy. Peggy is short for Margaret (don't ask me why), and it sounds just as bad as Maggie, Meggy, and Meg, which are all short forms of Margaret.

For the love of GOD, Europe, Russia is practically on your doorstep! If Ukraine goes down, the rest of you go with it, you KNOW that, and you'd better step the pace up, bc the Ukrainians cannot hold out without HELP!

Decide NOW if you're ready to fight, and if not, you'd better find someplace to FLEE, bc Russia has plans for Western Europe, and you won't like them.

Somebody made a passionate threnody on this here platform yesterday, about how people who "have it better" when Democrats are in charge don't give a damn about the disabled bc they got theirs.

It made me really sad. It's a kind of ignorance about the real world that says "My suffering is unique, and nobody understands it and the rest of you are privileged shits."

When I was a kid and demanding my parents tell me WHY I wasn't born to rich and famous parents? My parents told me this:

A woman whose baby died went to seek counsel from the Buddha (The Enlightened One).

"Give me back my baby," she said, "and I will follow your teachings till the day I die."

The Buddha studied her intently, and finally replied, "Bring me a handful of mustard seed from a home that has known no sorrow, and I will give you back your baby."

The woman walked all over her world, knocking at every door, looking for her mustard seed. But nowhere was a house that had not known sorrow.

2/2

Epilogue:

She returned to the Buddha, enlightened, and said, "Master, in this world, there is no home without sorrow." And she followed him, unbidden, for she herself had achieved enlightenment.

@angiebaby So Bibi has no responsibility at all? And treaties, even if signed a century ago, can be torn up at whim? You are a very ignorant and stupid person, and I hope life does NOT turn out to be the terrible shock it obviously will be when you finally wake up.

My nervous Formica subsericea colony. These are black field ants. When I turn on the light they panic. A newly emerged worker (called a callow) cowers as her sisters stampede over her. She is newly emerged and not strong enough to run and freak out.

One of her sisters picks her up and she tucks her legs in like a pupae so she is easy to carry. In a few days she will be a lovely black like her older sisters.

The light gray ant picked up by a sister.

When in trouble, when in doubt,
Run in circles, scream and shout

@futurebird Same. I seem extroverted, but ten minutes with people, and I'm a mess, tryna sneak out without being noticed.
