Fear is natural and necessary – it helps keep us alive. But our situation is not one where the evolutionary instincts for fight, flight, or freeze are helpful responses. We need the courage to do what is necessary in spite of our fears. www.patheos.com/blogs/johnbe...

As scientist, can confirm. The number of things that I did that should probably not have survived…

When an article says "some scientists think" then remember this: I, a scientist, once thought I could fit a whole orange in my mouth. I could, it turns out, get it in there, but I hadn't given sufficient thought to the reverse operation.

Reminder from a Pittsburgher who was at one point Mr. Rogers neighbor: “Look for the helpers” was intended to be advice for his usual audience, children. We’re grown ups now. We’re supposed to be the helpers.

To serve his country, Donald Trump should leave the race | Editorial Boardwww.inquirer.com Biden had a horrible night Thursday. But the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump.

Evergreen advice. It’s over when you give up and not a moment before. The Supreme Court ruled against Dred Scott, too.

I say this bc I feel your pain: log off and go for a walk watch a movie and hang out with some friends or family in 1943 we were getting our asses handed to us every time we engaged the Nazis in battle and the Pacific was still very much a tossup we’re gonna get through this

Felix sat through the band’s entire new album, and a few of the radio hits, impatient for them to play the old school stuff. Then he heard the familiar bass line start, feeling the rumble deep down in his belly. Finally, it was time to get into the mosh pit and fuck some shit up.

We very often blame ourselves for our abuse or neglect, because we'd rather feel guilty than powerless-- but in blaming ourselves, we're setting ourselves up to feel ultimately powerless, because we're being held "accountable" for things we truly couldn't have changed.

The word *Speed* in Norwegian is fart, leading to exactly what you imagine happened in 1994.

i think that’s putting it a little harshly. *thomas jefferson* would have preordered a cybertruck. ben franklin would have made fun of him for it, but would himself own a rapidly depreciating model 3. and john adams would drive a 17-year-old honda civic

If you want to understand modern-day America, you have to understand that for almost 250 years we have been putting our Founding Fathers™️ on literal pedestals while refusing to acknowledge the fact that if these men were alive today, they would have certainly preordered a Cybertruck.

Poor people use libraries. Rich people shut them down because they don't *want* poor people to read.

Poor people also read. It is a harmful classist stereotype to think otherwise, and we should have moved past it by now.

Excellent op-ed yesterday from @andrewdessler.bsky.social on renewables already being the cheaper option and how the fossil fuel industry is trying to salt that particular bit of earth to stop their rollout. These companies are *absurdly* rich and they're not gonna stop. Gift link:

Opinion | Oil and Gas Companies Are Trying to Rig the Marketplacewww.nytimes.com Fossil fuel interests are spreading misinformation that renewable energy is harmful, unreliable and worse for consumers.
