I don't comment on major stories, especially those involving violence, for the first 48 hours. It's a rule I've set after 2 decades of being on the Internet. I'm making an exception for the Trump assassination attempt.

#ADHD serenity prayer God grant me the serenity to accept that I won’t finish everything, the courage to try anyway, and the wisdom and the ability to focus on tasks I am most likely to be able to attend to.

Crypto-mining accounts for 2% of all U.S. electricity usage. (Bitcoin alone consumes the same amount of energy as the entire state of Utah.)

One of my favorite things about @maklelan.bsky.social is his consistent use of the singular they when referring to deities, demons, angels, etc.

How do I mute the word "rape" on this platform? Do what y'all need to do to try and cajole the opposition into seeing Trump as the predator he always has been. I can't be reminded continually that rape victims have to beg for the dignity to be recognized by an uncaring public anymore.

I've lived in Idaho for a decade. Whenever I see obtuse behavior like this, I call them dirt people because they're determined to keep it so there's nothing to do here but go outside and look at the dirt. Attacking libraries is peak dirt people behavior.

This is one of the most dystopian signs I've ever seen. Republicans are quickly turning this country into an unrecognizable freakshow.

For my LDS friends, I don't like to recklessly apply scripture to politics, but I can't be the only one who has had these words running through my mind all these months, right?

So the whole approach that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has with gender, and it being an eternal binary and complementary? And they say that binary is necessary because sex is necessary to creation? Let's unpack that and throw it into the recycle bin.

I am really tired of think pieces. Only the poets have anything real left to say

To the person named Carol who donated her old Nook to the Idaho Youth Ranch in Eagle: This is the best $13.79 I've ever spent. As it turns out, I don't have any problems with reading. I just hate reading on my phone 🙃

The argument that another Democrat would be a better president than Biden at least makes logical sense. The argument that initiating a chaotic process to replace the incumbent 8 months before an election would be good political strategy is deranged.
