I am just one data point in the dataset of Life.

I haven't posted about Universal Basic Income (#UBI) in a while. Here's an article about why the U in UBI is so important. scottsantens.substack.com/p/the-universa…

"There's a difference between saying America is a nation with many Christians in it and that America is a nation dedicated to Christianity and defined by it...Those are very different things." -- Kevin Kruse, historian, Princeton University

It's unconstitutional for the White House to sponsor a prayer service on the National Mall. Rededicate250 is not a celebration of America's 250th birthday -- it's a rally for Christian Nationalists pure and simple.

@DzintraSullivan And the crowd roars!

I laid down over 6k of words this weekend. After surviving the past couple years (IYKYK), I finally felt back in the drivers seat. I felt comfortable writing, the words flowed easily and the characters took me where they wanted to. I felt like me again. I'm so proud of myself.

You had me at "Hammond B3": youtube.com/watch?v=uuXgnn…

@DzintraSullivan Two great minds, with but a single thought.😁

If I have to adult today, there had better be some donuts. Every good girl deserves a treat, right?

@nickimoraa I wash by color. If the underwear is black, it goes in the dark colors load.

I'm just finding out that a lot of you all wash your underwear with your clothes. And when it comes to body chemistry... I think that's just kind of nasty. To me, that's my personal opinion. I've always been taught to separate them... 🤷🏾‍♀️

Catchy. youtube.com/watch?v=KU15Xq…

@DzintraSullivan This IS the Bad Place.

Where does someone in hell tell others to go?

For Trans Day of Visibility: please know that I see you, and you are safe with me. I'm a slow learner but committed to learning how to be a good ally.

@politicalRad @allenanalysis Key question: how many of these folks are going to show up and vote??

San Diego just raised the bar. Philadelphia. Atlanta. Dallas. St. Paul. DC. San Francisco. London. Tel Aviv. Scotland. Now San Diego. 7 million Americans. Counting. Every coast. Every state. Every timezone. Across the Atlantic. Across the Pacific. No Kings doesn’t need a permit to go global.

Fireworks and Vangelis: what's not to like? youtube.com/watch?v=6CdbA-…

I love this kind of stuff. youtube.com/watch?v=QdoTdG…

"What are we doing?" Perspective from Jon Stewart: youtube.com/shorts/wVu9UPB…

Thinking a lot today about the old saying, "Its not what you don't know that hurts you -- it's what you think you know that's wrong."

@tasshinfogleman Back in the day I had a client who used Simpsons names. I got a trouble call during dinner one night because "Bart won't talk to Lisa!"

I name my computers after characters in Don Quixote. So far I've owned rocinante, sancho, and dulcinea.

@gwenshap All we are... is dust...in the database.

Anyone noticed that popular posts on this platform get a bunch of complete nonsense responses? Not in the sense of "I disagree" but in the sense of "Totally unrelated and barely a sentence in English". Are these bots? what's the goal of this weird behavior?

Books are indeed magical

@uusaint Marked down until he stops killing.

It’s Tuesday. In six words or fewer, write a story about this picture. 👀🆓⛔️

@lippyent Excellent phishing question!

Dodge Omni! Was like a go-kart. Hmm 😒 🤔?¿
