“We are made of star stuff.” - Carl Sagan
Seeking knowledge keeps the mind alive.
FEAR IS A MIND-KILLER
KINDNESS, a tool we should all carry and use often.
@HowardA_Esq Even if Shangri-La were real, its inhabitants would eventually succumb to our need to explore, to breathe the air of new places. Opening new doors, to see what others have never seen. It is our history and our future.
Yes. There is no unified “GOP”. They are a coalition of miscreants. But underlying all is the oligarch enabled Bannon nihilism/anarchism - freeing the uber rich from the inconveniences of government taxation and regulation. Raw meat to “evangelicals”. Zero interest in governance.
After every school shooting, Republicans give their tired/absurd "solutions" like locking all school doors, putting an armed officer in the school, and identifying a mentally ill person who might shoot our children before he/she takes the life our little ones. If they have any
You could do worse with your time than to spend a couple minutes here with President Carter - Carter and Lincoln before him is/were true believers in the ideals espoused at our founding - ideals worthy of demanding fealty to from those who would represent us.
I have a complaint though. Why does it so often feel like Jamie is alone out there, the voice of us all. This condemnation and shaming of the insurrectionists and their GOP enablers should be a chorus. It should be above the fold, on the editorial and op-ed pages. N’est pas? DNC?
South Australia went from 1% renewables in 2007 to 68% in just over 15 years. It's on track for 100% renewable energy by 2030.
It can be done.
We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate#climate#energy#renewables#solar#wind
To be candid, Trump already has. We should not be giving Trump a pass for those he killed on 1/6, or during the Covid pandemic, or that died as a result of his enabling racist police brutality, or due to his undermining support for Ukraine and NATO. Always recognize what he is.
Hijacking a person’s good faith belief in an all powerful benevolent god to advance your own evil agenda and incidentally get rich. Hiding behind the shield we properly accord to the varied religious faiths. So despicable. So smart. So GOP.
Fox is to news as “professional wrestling” is to sport. Same vibe even - so patently false with the same audience - some oblivious, some attracted by the camp. All rising to the bait. And raising the question of precisely where we are on that evolutionary scale.
@B52Malmet The value of life is measured by our regard for it. When we cultivate immunity to life's worth to achieve power, we diminish ourselves and become something less human.
