Ben D @bfd66.bsky.social · 25/01/2026A metaphor on an icy day in Austin. Ice can't stop the free flow of H2O. Life and liberty keep circulating. 030
Ben D @bfd66.bsky.social · 17/01/2026In other words, the chickens have come home to roost for our fossil fuel addiction. China invested in the future while we built bigger F-150s and subsidized big oil. Getting our ass kicked in affordable EVs is just the beginning. We've relinquished leadership of the green economy, willingly. 131
Ben D @bfd66.bsky.social · 30/11/2025Let's be clear. Texas is pretty much everything, so folks can always cherry pick to fit their agenda. That said, our current elected GOP leaders are truly despicable. 030
Ben D @bfd66.bsky.social · 28/11/2025Call out racist propaganda to anyone you know who appears susceptible to it. This latest screed has all the elements. 000
Ben D @bfd66.bsky.social · 25/09/2025From Goth Prom to Square Dance Lessons. Brazil Day to a Japan Festival. The Wizard of Dogz to Skunkfest. And John Cleese, too. The bulletin board at the local sub shop is a treasure. 140
Ben D @bfd66.bsky.social · 22/09/2025And don't overlook the contribution of our newest signing as reported by the AP: Marius Hoibraten! 010
Ben D @bfd66.bsky.social · 22/02/2025The Resistance has a gender. We all need to follow their lead in how we stand up in this moment for what is morally, ethically, legally, and politically just. The only thing at stake is our country and future. 020
Ben D @bfd66.bsky.social · 01/02/2025My beloved Austin, TX on Feb 1, 2025. Tens of thousands enjoying the parks, trails, lakes, cafes, sun, and each other. Real human interactions. Bonding. Society. Not angry, cynical, hateful, or scared. Constantly attacked by those who are. We remain ever welcoming, enlightened, and joyful. Unbowed. 020
Ben D @bfd66.bsky.social · 26/01/2025Exactly. By going along, we're desecrating the sacrifices of our predecessors to make this a more perfect union, plus trashing our own climate, economy, civil society, and daily lives today. He is a sociopathic, criminal grifter. For each individual US citizen, what you do now defines you forever. 000
Ben D @bfd66.bsky.social · 26/01/2025Wake up, America! Racists, tech oligarchs, and literal Nazis are partnering with the sociopathic criminal grifter to whom we have handed over our country. They are desecrating the sacrifices and progress that our predecessors made to give us a more perfect union. What you do now defines you forever. 020
Ben D @bfd66.bsky.social · 01/01/2025Food labeling in Mexico is light years ahead of the US. Big Ag and the processed food giants would never allow the US government to clearly inform consumers. 020

Ben D @bfd66.bsky.social · 11/12/2024It's time. America's worst performing professional sports city brings its futility to MLS. That said, I do love San Diego. 020
Ben D @bfd66.bsky.social · 04/12/2024"Nothing has ever been more insupportable for man and human society than freedom. Man is tormented by no greater anxiety than to find someone quickly to whom he can hand over that gift of freedom..." - Fyodor Dostoevsky 020

Ben D @bfd66.bsky.social · 01/12/2024UT 17 TAMU 7. One game ball for the Defense. One game ball for Wisner. Let's just give them the 2 balls that Ewers coughed up in the red zone. A dub's a dub, but my lord, this should have been 31-0. 010
Ben D @bfd66.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Republic Tower looking really good rising up on 4th Street. Yes to office towers with balconies. 010
