Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Even if he did, does that mean he can be denied emergency medical care? Is that the way the law works?! Unbelievable. 1305
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 26/09/2026There is even a name for it: Nanny Tom. Our neighbor has a white tomcat that has looked after and befriended three generations of kittens that have rotated through their house over the past decade. (The neighbors have an issue with having too many cats and not getting them fixed fast enough.) 181
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Trump can tell Ukraine to stop the energy attacks, but somebody should tell him that he lost leverage after he cut off all US support. Why exactly should Zelensky care about what he says? 000
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I had a friend who didn't like cats for no particular reason except for these stereotypes. Then his girlfriend got a cat and his worldview changed dramatically. He was impressed with how tough cats were and how focused on violence they were. Against their prey, against each other, even against dogs! 000
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Yes, but how happy are their billionaires? Nobody ever thinks about the poor down-trodden ultra wealthy! 000
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Yep. Hard to say, and I am no expert either. It just seems like all of the extra armor on an MBT doesn't seem to be of any use. Drones can destroy an MBT just as easily as they can destroy an APC. Crazy world. 100
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 25/08/2026I can imagine a situation where a Bradley-type APC would be more useful than an main battle tank for infantry mobility and support, and a drone swarm would also be more useful than a MBT for infantry fire support. 100
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 24/08/2026That is certainly an interesting correlation presented in your table, but why would AIPAC be concerned with Medicare4All? How does that affect their interests? 112
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Every European institution should stay as far away from Palantir as possible. Nothing good will come of associating with this company. 010
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Or even in 2016. It was blatently obvious then too. 100
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026When there is no competition for territory (no cat is going to claim the territory a couple of feet from a dog), cats can be strangely sociable. 260
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 13/08/2026There is probably a file containing four crosses in the shape of a swastika on a computer somewhere in Lindel's campaign headquarters. 120
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Democratic Socialists are out to reclaim the word and point out to Americans that capitalism without socialism leads to poverty and despair. A better America is possible. Also, whatever word you chose, fascists will demonize it. We can't run forever. 130
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Pretty amazing shot I must say. Two moving targets, wind resistance on the bullets, 100 or more meters distance. 010
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 25/07/2026My cat loves the life I provide for her and follows me around everywhere I go. I adopted her when she was 8yo from a neighbor who fed her, but ignored her because they had 6 or so other cats, plus two dogs and 7 people in their house. We have a real emotional bond, not a food relationship. 020
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 24/07/2026They do not care about those issues. At all. And they never did or will. 000
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 24/07/2026I agree completely, but imagine what the gas and coal lines would look like if the majority of new energy demand wasn't being covered by renewable sources. We are def making significant progress. 3431
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Clean coal is when you skip all of the intermediate steps of converting sunlight into organic matter, burying it underground, etc etc and just start using the sunlight directly. It works great! ;) 091
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 03/07/2026And what's even worse is that this gentleman is just the tip of the iceberg. There are so many more retirees who are living marginal, unstable lives in abject poverty who no one will hire. 010
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Batteries already provide base-load electricity in may places around the world, and the technology is getting better and cheaper with each passing year. Nuclear is no longer needed. We have a cheaper alternative available right now. 100
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 03/07/2026The Chinese battery giant CATL is rapidly rolling out grid-scale sodium-based batteries that contain no difficult materials like cobalt. They are not as energy dense as Lithium-based batteries, but that doesn't matter for the application. They are cheap and effective. 110
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 03/07/2026This is not the case thankfully. There are many, many grid-scale battery installations all over the world with 228 gigawatts installed in 2025 alone, 10x the amount for 2022. China is leading the way of course, with the US in second. This is good news! 000
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Don't fret. Effective grid-scale battery technology has already arrived. The technology has reached a price point in some places that it is more expensive to run a gas-fired power plant than it to shut it down and install solar/batteries. And batteries are only getting better and cheaper. 100
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Even if someone figures out fusion reactors, containing and harnessing a miniature sun using exotic technologies will almost certainly be ridiculously expensive compared filling a field up with solar panels and installing a couple of grid scale batteries. I think solar and wind still wins. 110
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 03/07/2026If something happens to the sun, then power generation will the least of our worries. 010
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 01/07/2026The second that Russian troops crossed the border from Belarus to Ukraine, Ukrainian drones would torch all of the oil infrastructure in Belarus and destroy any part of the industrial base that might be useful for the military. 141
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 01/07/2026They appear to have demolished the Smithsonian to make room for the crowds! Good to see their priorities. 030
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Wow! The Flamingo packs quite a punch. I wonder how how much of the damage was due to flammable materials in the buidling. 0100
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 27/06/2026So much hyper expensive military hardware render obsolete by cheap quad copters and slow, propeller driven aircraft. 000
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Cats can absolutely have more than one person. You clearly fill an important place in Rudy’s life. 000
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 25/06/2026George Conway is absolutely not a reliable representative for democratic constituents. He may hate Trump, but he is still a conservative, and would reliably side with conservatives on bread and butter issues among other things. There are much, much better choices than him. 140
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 21/06/2026That is actually what a cat looks like when it is happy. He loves his siblings! 010
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 19/06/2026What a fantastic photo of two beautiful women! 040
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 19/06/2026It is an elite club, and he is absolutely not invited. 282
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 04/06/2026This is a symptom of lazy complaint-based enforcement of HOA rules rather than consistent enforcement across the neighborhood. I joined my HOA board to eliminate this kind of unfair practice. It wasn’t hard to do. Somebody just needs to care a little bit. 130
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 19/05/2026Not only that, but these eight guys would still be obscenely wealthy with so much money that neither they our their progeny could possibly spend it all. 120
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 04/05/2026Clearly this creates perverse incentives to incarcerate as many people as possible for as long as possible to exploit them for low-wage labor. 010
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 24/04/2026Hell is the definition of an empty threat. Too absurd to be real, and also, show me some evidence that it actually exists. Go ahead. I'll wait. 010
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 13/04/2026Don't forget about Ukrainian kinetic sanctions. 🔥 000
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 10/04/2026In the middle of a war that he has already lost because of his own stupidity. 000
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Don't assume that Europe is powerless against the Russians. Europe has at least 5 or more years to prepare with Ukraine's help. Russia could walk into another drone-infested buzzsaw in the Baltics by the time they are ready to invade. 000
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 30/03/2026If they nuke the filibuster today for the SAVE act, they can just reinstate it in the future when it suites them. Do you think they would give up that leverage permanently if there was a chance of Democratic control of congress? 000
Dorian Henderson @maggievalley.bsky.social · 24/02/2026This is an excellent point. Why exactly are we doing this? What is the deal we are looking for? And why will dropping bomb help us get the deal? 010
