Whatever the recipe says, triple it 🧄

It was green -- not in a political sense, as in a green party or green agenda or green environmentalism, but actually, visually, observably green.

The grass, the leaves, even the reflection in the pond were various shades of a color, one that was meant to bring to mind images of joy and life, as opposed to the false binary of partisanship.

The ducks really liked it there.

Scottish Nobel-prize-winning Economist, Angus Deaton, just dropped a huge Truth Bomb on his fellow economists.

"[Economists] have largely stopped thinking about ethics and about what constitutes human well-being [equating it] with money or consumption, missing much of what matters to people ... [Without taking into account Power] our recommendations become little more than a license for plunder."

House leaves for a two-week break — without addressing Ukraine aid

Fun fact: In old English law, attempting to overthrow the government was considered high treason, a capital crime punishable by being drawn and quartered or beheaded. But in America, we do things slightly differently - instead, we offer traitors guest spots on MSNBC and greased pathways back to the White House to see if they can do high treason better next time.

Holy shit. Univision, the nation's largest Spanish-language network, has decided to cancel ad-buys by the #Biden campaign in Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, & Florida after #Trump met with their executives last week. Our media continues to fail us. This is how our democracy dies.

With new folks arriving on #Mastodon every day, a reminder that social media doesn’t have to look like anything we’ve experienced before.

*We* get to build the fediverse. So let’s make it awesome ✨
