Sure would be nice if there were actual consequences for the mind-bendingly corrupt conservatives on the Supreme Court.
I’m not holding my breath.

The Republican Party is going broke in Arizona?
The AZ GOP HAD $770K 4 years ago but now only holds $50K after buying rounds of “election fraud” challenges and shady cyber ninjas
Hm.
So Trump is going to Make America Great Again by bankrupting the GOP

I remember when people tried to blame herbicide for this. And if they banned it, NOTHING would have been done to help these workers.
Chasing the wrong claim because of your ideology helps nobody. See also mercury in vaccines and other RFKJr top hits.

We exist because we exist. That's life. We make our own meaning. When I finally realized no #god or #afterlife exists, life became more—not less—precious.
Since non-existence is the norm, we should make the most of our few decades of existence. Because that's all we have.

I'm agnostic, too. Neither of us can *know* whether a #god exists. If you don't hold a *belief* that one does, you are an atheist.
We can't *not* act based on our inner moral compass, which I think evolved in our thinking social species for its survival benefit. "Do unto others" makes evolutionary sense and long pre-dates religions.

The idea of an #omniscient #god completely obliterates the idea of human free will. #ThinkAboutIt

After some initial good results Threads is mostly showing me celebrity-influence content despite my muting a large number. I wonder if the people I follow are not posting much.
My Mastodon feeds have been relatively quiet as well.
Happily the Utepils Sunday bike ride is starting soon! (Minneapolis brew pub weekly event, 4 road and 3 singletrack groups. Twin Cities summers are insane.)
