20th anniversary! This bridge has succumbed to storms but our marriage is stronger.

@HunterBiden @spturgon Four years sober. Very hard. Your book helped.

So sad. And on this day!

@WeatherProf @hausfath Not a meteorologist so don’t understand the models but it is helpful to us to appreciate how models work. Thank you for the work.

@RichidsCoulter @Jimbo4881113333 @IanCopeland5 As a (retired) mammalogist I’m pretty familiar with transmission of tick borne diseases but feel free to share recent research.

En arrivant au Brésil et en étant témoin de l'esclavage de près, Charles Darwin écrivit :

« Près de Rio de Janeiro, ma voisine d'en face était une vieille dame qui possédait des vis-pouces avec lesquelles elle écrasait les doigts de ses esclaves. Dans une maison où j'avais séjourné auparavant, un jeune serviteur mulâtre était, chaque jour et à toute heure, insulté, battu et pourchassé avec une fureur capable de décourager jusqu'au plus vil des animaux.

J'ai vu un enfant de six ou sept ans frappé à la tête avec un fouet (avant que je puisse intervenir) parce qu'il m'avait servi un verre d'eau légèrement trouble...

Et ce sont là des actes commis par des hommes qui prétendent aimer leur prochain comme eux-mêmes, qui croient en Dieu, et qui prient pour que Sa volonté soit faite sur terre !

Le sang bout dans nos veines et nos cœurs s'emballent quand nous songeons que nous, les Anglais, et nos descendants américains avec leurs cris fanfarons pour la liberté, avons été et sommes encore coupables de cet énorme crime. »

(Charles Darwin, Le Voyage du Beagle)

@TansuYegen Right tool for the job. Thanks for sharing.

Our long-range sanctions carried out by the warriors of the Security Service of Ukraine, the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, and the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine have yielded good results. Important facilities on Russian territory were hit last night.

Among them was the Petersburg Oil Terminal. The distance from Ukraine’s state border to this facility of Russia’s oil industry, which serves the war, is about 1,100 kilometers. Purely military targets at the Kronstadt base were also hit.

Another target was an enterprise in the Tambov region involved in the production of Russian weapons. The distance from the frontline is almost 600 kilometers.

I thank our warriors for their precision. Ukraine’s plan for long-range sanctions is being implemented exactly as needed to bring peace closer. Glory to Ukraine!

@erleellis @pnas I'm retired now but was tempted to use AI to reanalyze old data sets. And had to accept it wouldn't work, for the reasons given in this paper.

@SenRickScott No, remember your post about spending? Let’s spend less on those expensive employees. Legalize immigrants who are paying taxes and now we’re reducing the deficit.

[drterdal 🇺🇦 @drterdal]

@paulapoundstone Happy for you. I just has a liver transplant. Cherish yours.

@AngieNixon Thank you for your service. We appreciate you.

@RepGregSteube The US military has been the most effective anti fascist organization in world history. Hell yeah they terrorized the nazis! Please go to Arlington National Cemetery and reflect on what antifa is all about. Then join US.

Great news! A California condor flew into Oregon last month, becoming the first wild condor to fly in our state in over 120 years.

Condor B9 was released into the wild by the @TheYurokTribe. We’re honored to support their work in restoring these birds to their ancestral homeland

@RoxxoDr @IanCopeland5 Sorry! Where do you live?

[drterdal 🇺🇦 @drterdal]

@RoxxoDr @IanCopeland5 You be you. The US might not be the best fit. We're a free country; you can emigrate. No hard feelings.

@WeatherProf Long ago I was a commercial fisherman in the Pacific (Oregon, Washington). The El Niño of 1983 was extremely disruptive. Lost my job; many lost their boats. And this will be worse, by a lot?!?

@SenRickScott Bring home all the service members in the Middle East. Expensive! America first.

Happy Pride!

As an ally, I proudly support the LGBTQIA+ community.

It is up to heterosexual men like me to take a stand, speak up, and make it clear that discrimination, hatred, and bigotry have no place in our society.

@FLVoiceNews I volunteer my Sarasota County backyard. We had malaria here a few years back. I'll take sterile mosquitoes.

@SenRickScott No war against China. Please! But yeah we need to mine and process the critical metals and such. We can do it!
