Would you be willing to use your government-issued ID, either directly to social media or other websites, or to "third-party ID age verification services", to begin or continue accessing these sites, as now contemplated by multiple states or already in their existing laws currently in litigation?

@lauren Could I have a nuclear option?

See back when there was talk of a national id, conservatives then lost their minds about tyranny.

But that was a different age, like 1970s

Seven Bins shares the same culture of his masters, billionaires living in contempt of nation they see as mudsills. They are despots, contemptuous and hating despots purposely immiserating society into an underclass.

Interesting to sample. Ground water issues force water supply shut down. It certainly sucks. This is an example of erosion of existing capacity in potatoes.

The greatest shot in history.

It's insane. This is a testimony to the venerable Beeb and his own presentation skills.

Kinda funny to remark on SpaceX. They make great, expensive sparklers.

If you’re ever in California, and you’re not a resident, and you’re in a store where you’re experiencing an earthquake, don’t panic until you see someone 45 or over seeking shelter.

If you’ve lived in California long enough, you get a sense of how to know a “bad earthquake” from a “not so bad earthquake”.

Just basically do whatever the OG’s do and you’ll be safer.

#RIP Retired Maj. Gen. William Anders, the former Apollo 8 astronaut who took the iconic “Earthrise” photo showing the planet as a shadowed blue marble from space in 1968, was killed Friday when the plane he was piloting alone plummeted into the waters off the San Juan Islands in Washington state. He was 90

I”d rather be free of car centricity. I wonder if it would be cheaper to focus on walkable cities than car standards.

The cheapest mitigation is the oil we never drill.

Scientists have mapped one of the most hazardous spots on the globe in unprecedented detail: a 600-mile geologic boundary just off the #PacificNorthwest coast.
Along this fraught stretch, called the #CascadiaSubductionZone, 2 pieces of the #Earth’s crust slide against each other, building up stresses capable of unleashing a catastrophic 9.0-magnitude #earthquake & generating a #tsunami, w/waves as high as 40 feet.
