@nytdavidbrooks I love David but couldn’t make sense of this. They voted for privilege, funded by billionaires, who married immigrants. Not for a poor teacher and poor daughter of immigrants who showed the American dream is possible. 🤷‍♂️

@acnewsitics We’ve said that a thousand times before.

@HarveyLewisRuns Oh. My. God.

Screenwriters say great thrillers have an all-is-lost moment (the debate); a charismatic, powerful, often rich villain who gets away with everything; a likable hero of humble origin who gets tapped unexpectedly to save the world.

I'd watch that movie. 🍿

@TheCarnivoreLaw @BioLayne Yes, he thoroughly debunked me too... 😬 Or did he? https://t.co/euBTxVrN5c

@NutritionMadeS3 PEW said in 2010 that only 6% of scientists were republican and 51% were democrat. I imagine that divide may have sharpened after all the climate and covid denial.

[Chris MacAskill @baldy]

@NutritionMadeS3 As someone who has crossed party lines to vote several times past, the GOP is currently too awful.

@uneventomato You must have only spent an hour.

@clanrossi @PlantChompers Thanks Rick! I love doing it so it’s nice to get the speech back so fast.

[Chris MacAskill @baldy]

@yaypie @PlantChompers Thanks! It was an adventure, that’s for sure. But hey, we found a previously undiagnosed congenital defect which can be fixed, so I’m happy. 😁

WHAT?! I had a stroke?! Me, the guy with a YouTube channel advocating whole-plant-dominant Mediterranean, Vegetarian and Vegan diets? Yet there I was in the emergency room with impaired speech. Should I have eaten fewer carbs, more meat? The med team discovered some answers…

@rabois Yes, we’ve arrived at an age of science denial. https://t.co/QrL5wr5uv4

[Chris MacAskill @baldy]

@rabois Or science.

This is one of the most powerful, inspirational talks I’ve ever heard: https://t.co/kh2U9tV7pT

[Chris MacAskill @baldy]

@Plant_proof Heh. I’m at UC Berkeley today, thinking back on the demonstrations I watched in the 60s as a teen about the Vietnam war. My memory is we were more divided then than now.

[Chris MacAskill @baldy]

This made my month.

What Stephen Colbert just said 🙏

[Chris MacAskill @baldy]

@TheCarnivoreKid It’s a very old story. I had two low carb friends die of heart attacks at 38. In this interview, the head of the world heart federation explains why slender, muscular men are so prone to it: https://t.co/oayKRpVpNO

[Chris MacAskill @baldy]

@ChrisWi03565526 @elliot_monk @Plant_proof That's also true of Scotland, Ireland and many other countries.

[Chris MacAskill @baldy]

@elliot_monk @Plant_proof That's a very interesting paper, but they seem to be arguing that afforesting native grasslands is not the right thing to do, not that restoring forests is wrong, no?
