My father Donald died 19 years ago today. Here he is in his happiest of happy places, our old place in #Provincetown, doing something you should never try at home! But Dad's barbecued chicken was always delicious, eaten on the deck in this beautiful place. Thanks, Dad, for everything. I miss you every day.

Imagine writing a law in 2023, with only 27 words, to regulate weapons built by future generations in 2255—despite your zero knowledge of tech 232 years in the future—and no other context is available.
That's how absurd it sounds when people today claim a 1791 Amendment encompasses all weapons in 2023 and cannot be questioned in any capacity.

NEW: “I’m sorry to break it to anyone who has trouble keeping their car out of a bike lane (or off a concrete barrier), but it’s not the bike lane’s fault you’re a shitty driver. If you hit something stationary, that’s your fault. Pay attention to the fucking road while you’re driving. It’s not too much to ask when other people’s lives are literally at stake.”
Harsh but true.

Me and a few other climate folks on Twitter have noticed a very clear new prominence of climate deniers and delayers
So with some help, I gathered up some data and checked - it turns out that denial/delay, pro-fossil disinformation accounts have seen massive growth in their audience, while pro-climate-action accounts have either stagnated or shrunk.
Elon Musk is reshaping Twitter into a safe space for right-wingers, and in doing so, empowering climate change deniers, delayers and pro-fossil advocates more than ever before.

Funny how their church is connected to an alleged pedophile and Mike Huckabee
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A 56 yo survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
