Seems like in this age it would be better to show gratitude for all the sun gives rather than worship burning things. I think we have used up our burning things budget for the next few hundred years.

Protect roadless areas from the politics of the moment. We don't buy the old... we have to cut the forest down to protect it theory. Forest Management should happen in the WUI or wildland urban interface where people live. Cutting pristine forest for profit is a horrible use of our public treasures.

Soda-fired cup with ridges. I'm very happy with how this series came out. The soda patterning following the shape of the form. . . #dancingmanpottery #functionalart #sodafiredpottery #ceramics #makers

Sorry. I was talking about Jeff Merkley whom the story was about. Didn't realize it wasn't coming from his campaign

It drives me crazy when sites like this list battery installs in GW instead of GWh. Not listing the hours doesn't tell me anything about the storage.

Apparently, the inverters on big batteries can also be set up to shape the power waveform to substitute for spinning devices. So many ways to make this happen. Go Australia! 🌞

The do-nothing republicans own the trump administration failures. I'm really hoping for a democratic party major in the house this time next year

I used to work with Federal scientists using the EOS satellites. The records go back to the 70s with the MSS missions. It's so important to have this record of change of the Earth's ecosystems. These missions are priceless. :(

I think the speaker should say "grow up" if that is what they mean. Our culture at large has enshitified masculinity to the point nobody knows what it means. In the vacuum, the right is using the situation to say ... "See the left hates men" (which is totally not the case)

Keith Olsen @keith-listens.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

As an older man I totally agree we need to just be (and focus on) being good humans. I worry about younger men finding their way in a world that uses masculinity as a battering ram to protect predators like Andrew Tate. Every time you hear "be a man" or "man up" it reopens that original wound.

Darkness is so often a metaphor for fear and ignorance, but it's also a place to trust unknowing, and of course, a place to see the beauty of the stars.

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

Bravo. I think Medicare for all is the right issue. It puts money in the hands of the American people and makes the oligarchs nervous. Dems need to get on the train and support something worth fighting for

I stopped taking the NY times seriously back in 2003 when they kept pumping the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq story long after it had been discredited. Their agenda was not to inform, rather to feed the war machine.

Glazing day. I usually try to glaze everything in one day, but it's so easy to ruin a great pot with sloppy glazing. Also, the point of creating for me is to listen better. 🍃 . #dancingmanpottery #unconditionallove #beherenow #ceramics #functionalceramics #makers #handcrafted #handmade #corvallisart

Map lines are inherently political. After all, they’re representations of the places that are important to human beings — and those priorities can be delicate and contentious, even more so in a globalized world where multiple nations often share the same maps.
