In China, I teach and research environmental psychology. Seems I invented the sparkline (sorry, Ed Tufte) and other little giblets. pkz(at)uchicago(dot)edu pete.zelchenko.com Chicago-Changsha-Changshago Joined August 2008

What's amazing is, in our universe the Earth may be the lucky one, the only planet with sentient life, and we humans may be the very luckiest, privileged to embrace science and aware of what's out there. How ironic that we're also shitting in the pond enough to destroy it all.

Ah, soft power. @ElonMusk's grandfather led a Technocratic revolution. At the height of WWII, he was charged with trying to overthrow the Canadian government by force. 83 years later, the grandson is using his stunning wealth to finally achieve #Technocracy. @SenSanders

@SenSanders Elon Musk does not speak for me! He also does not speak for the people who would benefit from these provisions. But he sure can change the lives of millions with a single tweet. Just wait until he comes to slash YOUR benefits.

@danielbudreika @SenSanders No, ass. Being the single individual who, despite being an alien, now constitutes a greater check and balance on American rule of law than the Congress and Supreme Court itself. That's what he means. Don't be a dick.

@Bstn_trumpstah @Teamsters Brilliant retort, as always. Got a life offline? Or does Mommy not let you out of the cage on weekends?

But if you look at its growth compared to the cancer of trillionaire industry, it's amazing that such a small body of hard workers can successfully combat the largest and greediest industries in America.

Americans often wonder why we need strong unions. Teamsters has grown over its 123 years through horse-and-wagon shipping, its own internal struggles, finally diversifying to protect other workers. It grows not as a cancer-like industry, but as a responsive cure.

@totalimmunity @Teamsters Why is that, because they are already held hostage enough by the strongest links? #CreepyRightWingCreep @Teamsters

@BenjaminFr88939 @Teamsters You offend the memory of Benjamin Franklin, who changed heart in midlife and became anti-slavery. #CreepyRightWingCreep @Teamsters
