You know how weird things are these days? I repeatedly find myself rooting for the #CollegeBoard as defenders of #academic honesty and critical thinking.

@Huntn00 @GreenFire This is so true! Many people also don't really pay attention to what's happening in politics—either at the national level, or at the local level.

Thanks a lot, Florida. Your idiot leaders have now taken away my daughters' ability to take an AP Psychology class, which would have started in a week. In turn, this is taking away her chance to earn college credit, and therefore also is going to cost me money. I really appreciate your closeminded bullshit. 😡

LGBTQ people in the EU, there is a survey from the EU's Fundamental Rights Agency on LGBTQ experiences (e.g. with discrimination and acceptance) in European countries, highly recommend filling it out!

Maine’s ballot initiative to make electricity a public good could set a national precedent for giving power to the people.

No doubt most of us missed this at the time but isn’t this interesting. Two days prior to Jan6, troops were being mobilized and the Insurrection Act was already being openly discussed.

@LilHulkQ Not to rain on your good vibes, but the challenge as it appears to me among many issues, is for the human species to learn how to be good to strangers, the environment, appreciate our precarious position as passengers on spaceship Earth, stop trashing our home, and thinking that more of us is good thing, at least not until we can actually navigate #TheGreatFilter and actually reach the stars. 🤔

Morning Good people! A new day to be thankful for. Let's appreciate the friends & family that are in your corner, in a world as cold as this one, no one is obliged to be good to you, be thankful for the ones that are. Happy Friday!

Legs still sore from Wednesday’s 43km trail ride. I’m strangely proud that they gave out before my heart stopped. I’ve reached a new rung of confidence in my ability to not die. I’ve been inwardly timid about pushing too hard, there was even a guy out on the trail who’d give me heck for pushing myself too hard. Haven’t seen him in a while.
@garyackerman Just remember that Govt must be backed by citizens willing to make the necessary sacrifices across the board and be composed of something other than partisan dipshits as I look at the current crop of Right Wing Yahoos. As a species we don’t seem to handle well being told we need to sacrifice, and no it should not be the low income citizens doing the majority of sacrificing. 🤔

We had significant flooding in my region last month. Folks are rebuilding… in the same places. 🤦♂️ I understand the many reasons, but government has a responsibility (IMO) to set regulations to prevent this repeated loss.
@malcircuit
I blame Capitalism although I benefitted from it. We create economic systems where we compete, depend on the company we’re vested in to make money and sometimes make us wealthy. Concern about social stability and environment appears outside the purview of profits when there is a lot of wealth involved. At best it’s a token concern and we seem tunable to think in terms of group, planetary health and rise to the occasion, in time. All the warnings mean nada until we are smacked. 😬
