I don't think that "we don't know anything about hosting an even moderately secure website, we haven't secured our database and we don't know how to protect classified information" is the kind of "most transparent government organisation ever" that we want.

'Boeing’s aircraft is considered the most prominent private aircraft in the world, used by governments and dignitaries.'

Going after Boeing (which they should) would probably be considered political suicide, because of how hard untangling the US government from Boeing would be.

Ahead of Wisconsin Supreme Court election, Elon Musk PAC offers cash for pledge

Less than two weeks out from Wisconsin's high stakes Supreme Court election, Elon Musk's political action committee is offering voters $100

This was wildly illegal last time Musk did it, but he wasn't arrested and laws no longer apply to republicans, so here we are.

I beg of you, Wisconsin. Save your bodily autonomy, non-gerrymandered maps, and stand up against vote buying by voting for Susan Crawford in the April 1st election.

One easy thing you can do to help workers who are being mistreated is to join your union. Even if you don't work for Amazon. If you don't have a union, join efforts to get one, and vote yes. By supporting the unions, you increase the safety for disadvantaged employees to gather and collectively demand better conditions.

If you believe in any kind of mutual support, you should join your union, and do you bit.

I wrote this piece on a whim a few years ago. I really like how it came out.

Talks with my dog

When the aliens came they spoke with everything; insects, marine animals, birds, wild animals, our farmstock and our pets! Some of us were worried about what the animals would say about us, some were excited about the possibility of animal to human translation. Some said they even spoke to the micro-organisms in the soil.

We thought they'd talk with us next. These beings who could communicate with every thing else on our planet. We sent them invitations to summits. We tried to have conversations with them when we saw them.

They didn't even look at us.

Some idiot with a gun got angry at being ignored and shot one. The response was violent and definitive, the whole town died within seconds. The state retaliated, as did the country. As far as we know there are no humans left alive over there now.

We might have all gone to war, except that our pets, the insects and the very birds attacked anyone who approached weaponry and missile storage locations. Anyone who got past them was violently ill. Those who persisted died of ruptured bowels, blood toxicity.

They left, never talking with us.

I'm making progress in talks with my dog.

If you ever want to talk: My Tumblr ask is always open.

I cannot express how important it is to brush your teeth and floss regularly. It's especially important as so many people don't have dental coverage and that preventative work saves you so much pain and money in the long run. I know it sucks and it is so hard, but you'll also feel so good after doing it. And when you start doing it regularly, you'll find your mouth and gums feel so much better. If you've already done it today, good job! I'm so proud of you and so happy for you!

Here is your mission.
