Behind every door lurks thousands of memories lived by hundreds of lives. The weight of these nostalgic specters leaves the air thick and muggy. I riffle through the debris, wondering of they ever thought it might come to this.#environment#scientist#superfund#reallyshortstory
@spicyliltoaster As with all new technologies, it will be abused until we put strict guardrails in place. It’s happened with everything from electricity to cars. I’m sorry you lost your job, unemployment is a pain and terror in the USA that no one understands until they experience it.
@immutablepoet@micah_erfan You don’t see any problem with entities like Turbo Tax lobbying tens of millions over decades to make taxes more and more complicated so that you are forced to use their products?

@FOACAD@patriottakes Dunno man, I genuinely love my kids’ interests. If I did have thoughts of annoyance internally, I certainly wouldn’t say them out loud on TV and embarrass my kids about the things they like and are exciting to share with me.
@miahpage@crackin516@KWconditions@CaltransDist10@KirkwoodMTN@vailmtn Once parking is full there should be signage down 88 because of how dangerous traffic jams are on icy roads. This is about safety, not convenience. There is 0 cell service 15mi out of Kirkwood and no way to check Twitter. 1610AM also doesn’t work.
@elonmusk@heyitsyashu Please don’t take the AI projects out of Tesla. If it came to a shareholder vote, I’d vote whatever way necessary to keep the projects in Tesla.
@TamoraPierce I still reread this series when I am feeling tired, weak, or defeated. Every time feels like the first time, and I am always left with a renewed sense of purpose and self.
@GavinNewsom Crazy how people think caring about children getting raped and forced-to-birth in other states means we don’t care about the problems in our own state.
@TheFigen_ I think throwing the left one on the ground wasn’t great (just cause it shows a lack of respect for an expensive piece of equipment), but with the eye and ear safety and the obvious practice… 🤷🏻♀️ that’s their prerogative.
@GregCasar I worked a job once where I did not eat or drink for 10hrs, every day. It’s a miserable job and I would never do it again. However, the overacting in this stunt is annoying. It isn’t the 10hrs itself, it’s the long term health issues I got from never being hydrated enough.
@Iamtammytavares@GavinNewsom Did you know using current 2023 data, CA is currently tied for 1st with Hawaii as the state with the highest life expectancy?
@GavinNewsom It is insane that people think it is more humane to force a fetus to full maturity with missing parts of brain and skull, just to watch it die in excruciating pain for several hours after an official “birth”. What part of that sounds more humane than an abortion?
@cantfixstupids@GavinNewsom Many of them had horrendous defects or health issues that would have been detected in the womb and decided to give the dignity of a painless death. Now they are being forced live in excruciating pain after an official “birth”, and then dying anyways. But sure, it’s all murder 🙄
@GavinNewsom@Walgreens Thank you Governor for standing up for individual and state rights. Banning life-saving medication (yes, Mifepristone saves lives during miscarriage complications), because some people think they can control the bodies of others, is despicable.
@ewarren We should definitely keep a weighted property tax. And make capital gains tax weighted too. But I’m intrigued by the idea of trading my income tax for a flat rate sales tax.
@ewarren I’m on the fence on this one. I’d like to know if a blanket 30% sales tax would also be accompanied by a COMPLETE removal of income tax. Will that 30% still go into SS and Medicare? If yes, I could be down. I already pay 10% sales tax on top of my 24% income tax.
