remember when trump said if we just stop testing for covid it would go away as if by a miracle and everyone thought that was a scandalously stupid thing to say

on an entirely unrelated note since 3 weeks ago the CDC no longer requires hospitals to report covid hospitalizations and now biobot is no longer showing covid wastewater data for the US

Boeing shareholders approved a $33M pay package for CEO Dave Calhoun, despite overseeing huge losses and safety problems.

It's the biggest package ever given to a Boeing CEO.

Calhoun is resigning by year's end. Guess what he gets then?

A $45 million golden parachute.

Unreal.

My goals are pretty "radical" but my tactics are pragmatic. This is why I don't know what general political bucket I live in.

Weird that we can't explain a few kubic meters heavy radioactive waste from the NL each year but somehow we can justify pumping our Atmosphere full with toxics each day with our burning engines

"Oehhh all things radioactive are soo scary, we can't setup our grandkids with that" is what they say

But apparently they are totally fine with ruining the climate and expel toxic next where you breath

Until we have something better like fusion we should stick with fission also, but what do I know!🤷

@stux a nuke takes 30 years and hundreds of billions of dollars to build. You get much more energy much sooner with solar wind and storage, with fewer risks and many more people able to make money. Nukes simply don't have any utility anymore

Want workers to have power? You need to vote Biden over Trump.

This is not a vacuum. A protest vote will do massive harm. It's not a marriage. Get on the bus that takes you closest to where you wanna go.

(Joe Biden is the best president of my life and it's not even close. If you don't think so, you're probably not paying attention consistently.)

Worth emphasizing this, because most news outlets did not:

“Rep. Matt (R-Fla.) on Thursday ominously invoked Donald ’s call to far-right violent extremists while joining the former president at his criminal trial in New York.

“Standing back and standing by, Mr. President,” Gaetz wrote on social media, along with a photo of himself positioned behind Trump at his trial.”

Now that you can't do non-competes, can't we get some of the original googlers to build a new search engine.

Or anyone. Someone build a search engine that doesn't suck.

Don’t say shit about caring about trans people, gay people, Black people, brown people, immigrants or your own damn self if you don’t VOTE for Biden. And, you can kiss my ass too.

@StillIRise1963 hell, don't say shit about supporting Palestinians, either.

Biden and the dems can and are being moved. Republicans intend to shit on the grave of Gaza.

NEVER AGAIN should Donald Trump be trusted with national security clearance.

NEVER AGAIN should Trump be in command of our Armed Forces.

NEVER AGAIN should anyone who serves our country in uniform have to salute a walking, talking NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT!

I am a Veteran and I approve this message. Please, maximum boost. 🫡



Military and Veterans tell the story of criminal Donald Trump, he is a traitor and national security threat.

@wsrphoto also a veteran. Also agree. He's a kick in the face to everyone who served honorably.

Holy shit the reporting on Trump's statements on Gaza is SO BAD. It ALL intimates that Trump is saying "stop killing Gaza" when what Trump is clearly ACTUALLY saying is "wipe them off the face of the planet faster".

No wonder low information voters are dipshits about this.

It feels so meaningful to me when I see some dangerous debris on the bike path, and I slow down & stop, and take the time to move it off the path, so future cyclists don't need to worry about it.

I think about how important and undervalued maintenance is in the dominant culture. Building new things gets all of the glory, when it's the maintainers and acts of service that are what truly, imo, make this world work.

@tty We're starting to get a bit of invasive plant removal culture, in the same vein.
