Closed my Elon account. Love democracy, anything green, painting (oils), reading and writing, humor. Former Peace Corps Volunteer, government and politics are my thing (and work), habitat gardener. Writing three books concurrently.

Any Floridian parents of school-age children on here who are horrified by the book and poem banning going on? I have a private suggestion. #fightfirewithfire #bookbanning #floridaman #floridabookbanning

@JuliusGoat @robchandhok Well said.

In Germany we also say that if at a dining table there are a Nazi and nine more people, then there are ten Nazis dining at that table.

@mattblaze @lauren Did you see Anderson Cooper’s disappointing comments? I like him, but he managed to make me feel a little insulted!
So happy with Apple’s new Classical Music app! Well done! #classicalmusic
@Kaisz I’d love to see it, but my Mastodon has been lacking photos and graphics of every kind for a few weeks now. I don’t understand why. Do you have any idea, or do you know somebody who would? Many thanks!
I don’t understand … where are the photos and graphics? All I see are blank squares. Am I doing something wrong?

Shell 2022 profit more than doubles to record $40 bln

Shell <a href="https://www.reuters.com/companies/SHEL.L/"target="_blank">(SHEL.L)</a> delivered a record $40 billion profit in 2022, the energy giant said on Thursday, capping a tumultuous year in which a surge in energy prices after Russia's invasion of Ukraine allowed it to hand shareholders unprecedented returns.

How about we focus on control of violence in general — I’m just watching today’s sad news about Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin — and fold gun safety into that large umbrella?

Framing authority George Lakoff @georgelakoff yesterday quoted the brilliant Eric Blair's @protecttruth article:

Twitter is being used by a billionaire to shift public opinion. Time to go elsewhere >>> https://deepnarrative.substack.com/p/twitter-is-being-used-by-a-billionaire

"Twitter is now a danger to American democracy. The only effective solution now is to move to new platforms. There are other social media platforms... we can build them up to support honest debate and provide some replacements to Twitter."

When your opponent controls the playing field, you will always lose that fight. Let's democratize our media.
