They say the birth rate decline is because young women with smartphones socialize less. Maybe b/c smartphone apps allow you to track your menstrual cycle so you know when you’re fertile and when you’re not, which is effective birth control. https://t.co/YQk1Thj7y9

Sound familiar? Mr. Chávez ... built a cult of personality. He was going to lead them into the promised land, and everything in between was a nuisance to him: any checks and balances, division of powers, free press... https://t.co/3A6CWlOkX5

@chyeaok That’s a strength, not a weakness. A virtue, not a vice

@grahamcummins Yep. If we had elected Gore in 2000 and 2004, climate change would have been nipped in the bud.

@grahamcummins It was minus 10 this morning in Boulder, but only 2 inches of snow. So there’s that😀

@grahamcummins Actually, I blame Sandra Day O’Connor for our climate mess. O’Connor was the swing vote that halted the recount in Florida in 2000 thereby declaring Bush President. She claimed she wanted a Republican to win so she could retire knowing her replacement would be a Republican.

Road to hell paved with good intentions. "Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act funding is effectively creating a new market for water, with a new, higher price. “This market, especially one with a premium [price], might create some perverse incentives.” https://t.co/6xNVeaWwE3
