A tweet from "Covie" (@covie_93) that reads: "Speaker Mike Johnson from the great state of 'Louisnana' wants to get rid of the Department of Education." Below the tweet is an image of a large blue curtain featuring an emblem with a pelican and the words "SUPREME COURT" and "CONFIDENCE." The word "LOUISNANA" is prominently misspelled instead of "LOUISIANA." The mistake is highlighted with a red circle. In the foreground, three judges in black robes are seated at a table.

Can’t make this up.

I love Robert Sapolsky <3

My kids would LOVE Tiktok to stay banned in the US. No more US centred content, how great!

1. Why did you go on Twitter?
2. Why did you share this with those of us avoiding Twitter?
I'm not attacking you. But we know it is a cesspool.

I did #dryjanuary yesterday. Whew!

Disagree about Pinker. Give him a listen on Peter Singer's "lives well lived" podcast, IMO.

You know how some people get rich and become an asshole? (See link for example.) I will tell you: I am grateful every single day for my bountiful life.

I'd take all the 747s, if I was on tiktok. Most beautiful commercial plane ever.
