Thread. And yes, if we're going to bat back this nonsense then we have to all have each others' backs and say this is unacceptable.

To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

One of America’s Last Chestnut Groves Is About to Be Destroyed for a Data Center

A rare 200-tree American chestnut grove in West Virginia may be cleared for data-center development, but the project denies the site is on its land.

These are my latest one-of-a-kind raku pieces. No one’s buying right now, and I understand - art isn’t always the priority in difficult times. But I’m still making, and sharing a little beauty feels worthwhile. A like or share might help these pieces find their people. 🙏

Fourteen years ago, HBO's 'The Newsroom' laid out the truth about voter ID in this segment. It’s striking how little the arguments — or the tactics — have changed. Still a solution in search of a problem. History doesn’t repeat itself — it gets rerun.

Dr. Fauci is a hero. He really is. He helped guide America thru a mass death event. Millions more could have died but they did not, thanks to him. Everyone over 70 owes him a debt. It is disgusting that we live in a country that not only dishonors him but actively smears his good name.

Been thinking something like this about a totally different arena - Drum Corp. The music for most shows now is exciting and full of trumpet runs but very little is recognizable or memorable. It may be in part due to copyright issues but that's why classical themes were often quite popular years ago.

This particular celebrity death has left me stunned. This scene - no matter whether Jurassic Park has just been put on for background noise - I will always stop for. It is absolute perfection, especially that moment when Sam staggers and almost faints at the news of a T-Rex. RIP with tears.
