@TheGibson agreed, the idea that every community controls their own destiny is a powerful one. Just thinking of all the twitters that I'm leaving behind and how much better it would be for Black twitter, birdwatching twitter, book twitter, science twitter, etc not to be forced participants in the Elon show.

First day of early voting for the Walker-Warnock runoff in downtown Atlanta today and it was a thirty minute wait of very motivated Warnock voters. Great sign, fingers crossed for a Dem 51st senator.

“The inland lake, which is fed by agricultural runoff and wastewater, has slowly been shrinking, exposing a powdery shoreline laced with arsenic, selenium and DDT. Dust from the drying lake has wafted into surrounding communities, exacerbating pollution and consequently respiratory conditions in one of California’s poorest and most environmentally burdened regions.”https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/nov/29/us-spend-250m-cleanup-california-toxic-salton-sea

Of the 6,000 to 7,000 plant species humans have eaten over time ... the world now mostly eats nine, of which just three—rice, wheat, and maize—provide 50 percent of all calories. Add potato, barley, palm oil, soy, and sugar (beet and cane), and you have 75 percent of all the calories that fuel our species. https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/10/08/food-crisis-biodiversity-agriculture-india-millet/

@jeffjarvis Feeling a similar vibe as well. I saw someone describing this as a place that encourages people to interact as people (not as brands or as comedy bits) and I think there's something to that.

The idea that African-American history was edited at the behest of DeSantis & co still really bugs me. Glad that College Board is changing course but the fact they've already caved once leaves the curriculum they developed with a damaged reputation.https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/college-board-will-revise-african-american-studies-course-that-was-diluted-after-gop-pushback

"According to the recent census, our average American is a white female, between 30 and 34 years old, with German ancestors. If we use the median age of 32, years she was born in 1989, when the most popular girl’s name was Jessica. She lives in California and is married. She’s a five-foot, four-inch brunette, and the mother of a two-year-old boy.She has taken some college-level courses and might even hold an associate’s degree."https://www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2021/12/who-exactly-is-the-average-american/
