For those confused like I was, it's 150 cities in 32 states.

Sorry -- by locally sourced, I mean that they locate some sort of cookie maker in the area (state? region? county?) to produce the cookies for them. It isn't a single organization/location that creates the cookies, so contamination wouldn't be across all cookies distributed. At least, that's how I recall hearing it, long ago.

Here's my take. I grew up in the Cold War. I saw no way out. Figured we were all done, with a state of permanent Cold War until an inevitable Hot War that ends it all. And then, very suddenly, in 1989, the Cold War was over. No nuclear explosions, no cities vaporized. Just a new and hopeful future.

And now, here we are today. I see no way out of the climate crisis, and it's depressing. But I haven't forgotten the lesson I learned from the Cold War. Just because I can't see a way out, it doesn't mean there isn't, or that there won't be. I don't know how, but I've seen it before, humanity's disaster somehow averted out of nowhere. Doesn't mean we'll skip climate disaster. Just means that just because you don't see a way out right now, there still may be a way, and we should all work toward such a future.

Thank you for reading my Ted Talk. Fingers crossed.

Pony rides? Cake and ice cream? Smallpox?

I was under the impression that Girl Scout cookies are locally sourced, meaning that any contamination (if there really was any) would be a local issue, and not national. Unless, of course, one of the actual ingredients was lead, which to me seems ridiculously unlikely.

There's an awful lot of English going on in that photo.

I thought the SC legalized it last year. Then again, so much crazy has come out of them these past years, it's hard to keep track.

She kills puppies, just think what she can do for you at DHS!

Looks like she got 59 votes. Not a huge win, but a pretty safe win in these partisan times.

What do Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning have to do with Elon lying about having mad gaming skills?

I love BBC. Hate that show, however.

We're talking about the original guy who tried and failed to ban Tik Tok, right?

I've been continuing through Two Weeks to Live and I started The Peripheral. Enjoying them both.
