@Theotime812 late response, but I was trying to find who recommended "Cautious Traveller's..." so I could thank them. Tremendous story

@Susan_Larson_TN Thank you for posting this. It extends to people like Bill Maher, when he says things like "you can't have people with a penis in a women's prison".
They think they are so incredibly smart & insightful, when they are really just ignorant assholes.

Here in #Minnesota, our weather forecasts work because NOAA and Environment Canada have agreements to share data from the weather services' sensor networks back and forth across the line.

Yet again, USA:

End this. Hold Elon Musk personally accountable. And #ImpeachTrump and remove him.

28/ What I know is what I said up top: tech does what you tell it to do. If there's *no one to tell you to stop*, and *you don't care either way*, all bets are off.

You have someone in charge who unplugs shit and doesn't care, and an administration *on record* that wants to break things.

I have Trans friends, and I have Trump-loving acquaintances.
Guess which group I'd rather be around?

We must resist the temptation to perpetuate Trump’s constant attempts to assert dominance by reflexively despairing over our supposedly hopeless situation. MAGA desires to project power and strength – something we should subvert rather than confirm. Let’s not indulge the false bravado.
