The people who lost children and other loved ones in the Texas floods are owed honest answers from officials. They should be told why flash flood warnings issued hours earlier were not conveyed to people in the path of the water. They don’t need more prayers from politicians. They need answers.
It is so incredibly bizarre to be teaching about Great Society programs right now, have teenagers be like, Oh! Cool! I loved Sesame Street! Artists can get federal grants? Nice! Ooh - the Clean Air Act! I'm super glad my grandma can have health insurance! and then to do a major "WELL ACTUALLY...." 🤡

Can you show my kid that bullies don’t win? If you enjoy her sketch of #UtsuhoReiuji from #TouhouProject, could you like and reshare? A kid at school keeps erasing her artwork

In the aftermath of natural disasters, scammers are quick to exploit survivors.
If you’re impacted by the LA fires, be vigilant:
– FEMA will never charge fees for disaster aid
– Always ask for ID from inspectors
- Verify building contractors
– Report fraud to 866-720-5721
That guilt you feel about not being able to support every GoFundMe for folks who are suffering?
That’s actually rage at a corrupt system refusing to support its people - a rage carefully steered away from the system so you struggle with yourself & not with the institutions that deserve it

I’m in Japan right now so I’m obliged to remind the world — we don’t want AI. We want a robust rail system. We want trains. Metros. High speed. Locals. Cute trains. Efficient trains. Trains.

Just read the response from Costco to shareholders requesting it back down from DEI. It was glorious. It begins "Our Board has considered this proposal and believes … an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." and gets better. A happy investor #diversityandinclusion
