When gardeners have meet ups ya'll should bring your spinners and plastic owls and such that your birds have learned to ignore and do a swap.

I had a plastic owl but only #picaTheCat was scared of it.

@ai6yr

"drivers" or "human liability shields" ?

@jason0x21

All I see are three dumpsters?

@1zayah @stux

"is it worth it?"

@miguelpergamon

@catmisgivings

Are those wings? I thought it was hair?

@PsyChuan

I will remember each one.

And I'm hearing the whole "consent machine" cranking back to life.

"Oh we think he did it the wrong way, but maybe it'd be OK if he asked congress." NO.

"Now that the US is in a war it would be unpatriotic not to support it, even if you don't agree with how it started." NO.

Just no.

This was illegal. But more important than being illegal it's wrong and a bad idea.

Pull the breaks now. Do nothing more. Maybe in YEARS we might get back what was destroyed.

Please don't fall into the trap of blaming this all on Trump and not recognizing how many other people have laid the ground work for this to happen.

The unilateral action, the assumptions about what the US should be doing and what other nations are doing.

It shouldn't have been possible for a president to do this. But it was. Why is that?

Trump is responsible for pressing the button but he didn't build the ugly machine.

This is so annoying. I ordered the “glowing” leaf kit for my middle school electronics camp (nice to have some extra kits for the kids who get really into it) and they sent me this “sexy lady” version. UGH why are things like this (horny) just all over STEM?

I have some other options for extra kits … but I’m still annoyed.

And doing a return isn't worth it. Hey maybe we can laser cut our own patterns ... that could be fun.

@Em @rakoo

Cutting off food, cutting off aid, refusing to let anyone help because they don't want a whole ethnic group of people to live in that area anymore is genocide.

I don't know what else you would call it.

@Em @Ambulocetus

IDK how you got this idea. This is reminding me of the conversations I had after 9/11 where someone would make a simple observation or ask a question and the reaction was "WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA" that's how this comes off. Can you see how it's a non sequitur?

To discuss "why" is conflated with saying it good or how things ought to be.

Please don't do this.

@rakoo

Obviously not. And this isn't making it safe at all. NYC was attacked when I was here, I lived through that and now I think it's a little more likely to happen again.

Not that this should be the moral driving force of what we do. It's not.

@rakoo @Em

Iran isn't building a nuclear weapon and there was no urgency about them being on some "verge" I agree.

Further I think this question of who can and can't have ... UH *technology* isn't something many speak about with maturity or realism.

However, I don't think Iran is interested in atomic energy for purely academic reasons. Also obvious.

But, the idea that the words "Iran nuke" should make me an ordinary American cry with fear is dead. They played it out.

Today I'm going into school to get ready for the middle school robotics camp. I want to fully understand all of the systems they will be working with so they can have fun and avoid frustration.

I'll make guides for the other teachers. And keep pressing for the school to give me permission to let the students run their own social media. An idea they hate even though they know I'm right about how beneficial it will be. (I get why they are nervous)

And I will work on my book.

"It's a state run by a hard-line, right-wing, conservative and religious political faction. They must never have the bomb."

@f4grx @Em

I think if we can infer that Iran isn't just "learning about atomic power" we can also infer that Israel already has nuclear weapons.

We have delusional "long-termism" bros who use the far future 1000 years or more away to justify anything and almost no one with power willing to think seriously about the next 50 to 150 years.

The "soon-termism" our children will see.

They think of the next 3 months or nothing at all.

@Remittancegirl @fkamiah17

What does she imagine the world will be like in 100 in 200 years?

Oh that's right. These are the kinds of leaders who have no such visions of the future.

"never"

Really.
