If you need to check your voter registration, do it at your state government’s voter registration/elections website.

🚨 BEWARE of VoteSafe.org 🚨
While it bills itself as a “safe” way to register to vote, it is actually a digital surveillance machine created by Elon Musk’s super PAC.

A stunning yellow rose for our beautiful departed Dolly Parton, her favorite #flower. They reminded her of picking wildflowers as a little girl and felt like a "little ray of sunshine". I can't express the devastation at losing such a bright light, a kind and generous soul who helped so many...RIP

One thing I wish people would realize is just how central JK Rowling is to the entire anti-trans ecosystem. Looking at a network node analysis of the top 200 anti-trans X accounts, she is the most central figure spanning both sides of the Atlantic from Republicans to Labour.

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling.
They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

Point: Despite the name, Star Trek transporters transport nothing. They vaporize you and create a copy in another location. That clone has your memories, but they are not you. The clone assumes the life you abandoned, until one day they too are beamed away

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

With new, specialized, ground-based telescopes coming on line, our knowledge of hazardous asteroids and comets will grow exponentially in the coming years.
Seems like a bad time to reduce science funding to NASA. Just sayin'.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.
