An unimportant side note: What is it with this plural "straits" that I've been seeing and hearing from a few people? (I heard Rep. McGovern say this a few nights ago.) There is only the Strait of Hormuz. So weird.

we've noticed and i'm glad he's getting help
Back to the simple natural order of things…….. not human arrogance based on destruction of our water,air, environment for profit…… for the 1%

The malignant narcissist can’t help himself
The New Testament is civilization's first sequel. You can see the men sitting around a fire, shooting the breeze about the old days. "I loved those god stories. I wish someone would write a new one. There must be a good angle somewhere." To which another one says, "Hold on! I've got it! SON of God"!
Translation:
This deal is about to be exactly like the JCPOA, minus Obama’s signature
Zero fucking snow in the mountain passes right now
Summer is gonna suck
Alternative: mandate that to build a new data center you must also build out enough renewables to fully power it.
No coal, no gas, no new dams, purely sustainable.
If you can’t, no data center for you.
I think you have it backwards. It's not that CNN doesn't get religion. It's that they don't get secularism, that the United States of America is a secular country, which means CNN should be telling its viewers that elected officials should basically STFU when it comes to religion.
Stop praising Orbán for not attempting a coup.
He only stepped down because Magyar's win was too massive to steal.
He rigged the constitution, captured the institutions, and used state media to his advantage.
He did everything he could to destroy democracy, and he failed
I like it!
I'm making excellent progress on a children's story that I'm writing. The story, for the "early readers" category, should be completed in about a week or two. (I'm still fussing over how to handle a certain sequence.)
His "How's it playing?" was a reference to his "triumphant" fist jab to the sky, not a clue to the ludicrous notion that the shooting was staged. More from me here: medium.com/@lyonsnyc/do...
I challenge any other modern democratic country to prove that their populace is dumber than America's. Y'all can't do it. The election of Trump, especially the second term, cements America as the dumbest modern nation in history.
Germany just activated its largest ever solar installation — one farm, 1.5 million homes, zero carbon. The #CottbusSolarPark covers 3,500 hectares and produces 2.1 tw-hours annually, replacing two coal plants that operated on this same land until 2022. #SolarPower #ActOnClimate #Renewables
One could liken this to Kissinger's "madman" theory of statecraft, except with an actual madman.
two images of the human body's circulatory system. One of them with good cable management
The human circulatory system, before and after proper cable management.
Yes. People on the right have their stupid conspiracy theory ("The 2020 election was stolen!"), and now some (not all) people on the left have their stupid conspiracy. More from me: medium.com/@lyonsnyc/do...
On tyranny Aristotle and Plato’s words
I’m reading On Tyranny this morning. The connection is clear. Aristotle and Plato weren’t predicting the future. They were describing what they’d already watched happen.
Ancient philosophy came out of real situations people had to navigate. We’re witnessing it today. #Stoicism #StoicSisterhood
From the climate to the economy, Republican policies and lies destroy everything.
It wasn't a hoax. However, "How's it playing?" doesn't surprise me at all. See this piece I wrote last year: medium.com/@lyonsnyc/do...
Just one more thing.
If something is “open”, and you won, and the enemy is defeated, and all your objectives were met in the first week.
Why is your NAVY still there?

There was a time when the president inspired pride instead of exhaustion. I miss that more than I can say.
How interesting that 'the pope' of American apocalyptic white Christian nationalism never goes to church on Sunday morning but instead picks that time to tweet out genocidal threats to kill millions of people
