Bitter Texas Senate race forces Dems to confront racial divisions Jasmine Crockett and James Talarico have been locked in a fierce Senate primary loaded with racial overtones and questions about electability.

I think both of them would be good candidates, I hope they don't tear each other down too much before they go after the Republicans.

Life hates me right now.
No job, no income, and my computer with all my resumes and cover letters and job research just died.

I feel like we need to sue for copyright infringement on our life stories. 😝

If Godzilla attacked, could we survive? We asked the experts Let's say Godzilla exists and walks among us like in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. Could humans actually stop him, or even survive? We spoke to the experts to find out.

A surprising nuanced discussion...

She competes in near-freezing water. But, she can't find any in the Pacific Northwest A Washington ice swimmer spent 18 months preparing to break a national record. Then Puget Sound stopped cooperating.

One of the stranger things being affected by climate change for sure. Like her, I am concerned about how bad this summer is going to get after this usually warm winter.

China Has Planted So Many Trees That It's Largest Desert Now Absorbs More Carbon Dioxide Than It Pumps Out China has planted billions of trees since the 1970s.

Broke: My cheap ass company laid me off because they don't wanna pay me.
Woke: My company realized I was a luxury employee that they did not deserve.

This is some crazy caving to authoritarian BS. Acting like political approval is a thing of the past. Disgraceful.

Suppose it says something about my feed that I've seen stuff on the commercials and halftime show but not who actually won the Superb Owl.

Portland now says roughly $106M in housing funds went unspent The city continues to struggle to address homelessness and affordable housing, but officials say significant pots of money went untapped.

Is the problem with Portland's housing and homeless issues that they've been collecting the money but never spending it? 😲

I do hope they're able to make good use of it.

Why Does Arctic Mean “Bear” While Antarctic Means “Opposite Bear”? Clue: It’s Not Polar Bears A happy accident, but for the real inspiration you have to look up.

I was aware of the meanings but not the origins. Cool stuff.

Time to start writing my government representatives more regularly. I'm finding standardized emails so I don't have to personally come up with the best language myself... but if I can't be out in the field helping people, I can at least yell at politicians to do better.

No federal militarized takeover of our nation's capital! The American military should not be used against the American people—period. Trump’s takeover of D.C. puts every single one of us in harm's way. Add your name to the petition to protect our communitie...

Ocasio-Cortez ramps up fight with Vance amid 2028 speculation Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is increasingly taking aim at Vice President Vance, her possible opponent in a 2028 presidential matchup, should she choose to launch a White House bid. …

I'd vote for her, easily.

Apparently Google thinks I'm a brand for budget-friendly stationary now.

I guess it's only been a matter of time that my username of 25 years was taken by a company. At least my BZPower profile is still the top Google result.
