Four kids in the jungle outlasted most participants on Alone. Says something about indigenous knowledge that is being lost.

WaPo has issued a correction saying they misstated the gun charge deal. My previous tweet was based upon their reporting. Thanks WaPo. It will still be interesting to hear the sounds of silence on gun charges.

When I was an undergraduate at CSU Chico, I met a student from Iran in a differential equations class. His dad was a truck driver. Talking to him made me understand he was just a normal dude in search of an education. In our heart of hearts we were the same. Diversity matters

If it’s unfair to a political candidate to face charges before an election, why isn’t unfair to other candidates for a trial to be delayed? Especially if the trial is concluded before voting?

Getting tired of watching streaming series all the way through a season only to have an ending that says tune in next year and maybe you’ll find out what happens, if we’re renewed. Maybe the writers’ strike should end the same way. To be continued…if we’re renewed…

My dad, a Trump voter in the past, told me he’d never vote for him again. He’s nowhere near a moderate Republican. One observation means little, but can’t help hoping he’s not alone.

Mark Thoma My dad had swore Trump off about 5 times. As long as he’s still plugged into the Fox, he’ll be back. “Welllll, the democrats this, and Hunter Biden that …”

RFK is an idiot. Tells us how much your name matters. It shouldn’t be that way. Why does this dumb ass have a platform? Because of his name. You or me would be ignored, even if we had intelligent things to say.

Haven’t been here since the Musk odor pervaded this place. Can’t endorse that. It’s been years. Interesting to see all the liberals who put their own voice over doing what’s right, to abandon X. But not at all surprised.

Haven’t been here in years until the last few days. Thought I’d see how it’s changed. Holy crap batwoman. What algorithm thinks I want obviously false facts? Wow. Think maybe staying away was the right choice. But maybe we need people here to call out the falsehoods.
