Hugely instructive that industry is pushing for this liability protection for CO2 storage. They know it is dangerous.

I gotta admit, not having written anything for six (6) years (because life), I didn't know if I'd ever have the right brain space to do it again. Ever. I'm not sure what I'm writing now is objectively good, tbh, but it's definitely writing and I'm enjoying it, so. There's the answer to the unknown.

Worth tracking. I have experienced both, twice, and lucky to survive, but with after effects. After open heart surgery (8 hours) Candesartan low dose now keeps my BP in check.

Give up. Right now. You really don't want a stroke or a heart attack. There are small portable BP devices available from pharmacies.

regardless of what you think of America there are a lot of good people here worth fighting for, and that’s what I’m going to hold onto regardless of what happens in November and those people are worth celebrating

It's not just because they "shout louder" - it's because they're backed by people who are rich and powerful and will platform them no matter what 🤷‍♀️

2/7 Gov. DeSantis, every bit as vicious and backward as Helms — no small achievement — vetoed $32 million in grants for ALL arts and groups in Florida. His reason? Some Fringe Festivals stage "sexual stuff," apparently referring to a few events that include drag, though he gave no examples.

Probably just me, but I don't remember the old Twitter, or Mastodon, having as many begging for money posts as BlueSky does.

If a foreign state had done what the Tories have done to the UK, we would call it sabotage and treat it as a hostile act.

The world has been waiting for my take, here it is: Biden resigns "to spend twilight years with family". Dems nominate Kamala Harris and Michelle Obama. Totally own MAGA. Win in landslide.

I don't understand this widespread turn to the right (France, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, the US, etc.). In the 1930s, in the midst of the Depression, it was understandable. But, in spite of Covid, all of these countries are doing well. Why this universal shift?
