iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

My mom gave me her original copy of this album when I was in Jr High School. Mom was no prude, but she was a bit sheepish about giving this record to a preteen boy (and Boy Scout)… because of the conclusion of “Be Prepared”!

Thanks for the gift article! I’ve been a Lehrer fan since childhood — my Mom had an original copy of his first album — but I was today years old when I learned he attended Loomis Chaffee here in CT!

And if you’re looking For adventure Of a new and different kind And you run across a Girl Scout Who is similarly inclined, Don’t be nervous, Don’t be frightened, Don’t be scared; Be prepared!

No surprise at all that Tom Lehrer was a musical hero to @alyankovic.bsky.social !

I doubt it ever will be rebuilt: The very idea of government doing science in the public interest has been so demonized that it’s hard to imagine recovering it. Whatever we can’t save now will be gone for good; the best-case scenario is that the rest of the world picks up some of the slack.

She was effectively the chief administrator of Epstein’s child rape organization, and suddenly MAGA is treating her like a potential savior????

The “right way” is apparently a tax on U.S. consumers, which falls most heavily on the poorest, because they spend the largest percentage of their income on purchasing goods. 😡😡😡

In a mere matter of days, we can house migrants, but not our homeless. Because being cruel is always the motivation. #AlligatorAuschwitz

Absolutely! I owe it to my family to try not to die, but I think the current available options — Dragon/Falcon 9, New Shepard, and Virgin Galactic — are safe enough that I could go with a clear conscience.

My 8yo grandson has a playmate named Elon. His parents named him (and bought a Tesla) well before Musk’s epic heel turn, of course; I feel so bad for the kid! Hopefully he has a usable middle name!

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

Tragic. My son-in-law used to work there, and then for PeaceTech Labs, which was spun off from USIP.

Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.
