I see a lot of whining about gas and other energy prices, but not a lot about what you can do to reduce fossil fuel consumption. Reducing your demand for energy means you save money immediately, and it will also help reduce our reliance on fossil fuels in general. [a thread]

Reduce your use of plastics. Up to 10% of the crude used in the US is used to make plastics. Use recyclable materials instead. Aluminum is recyclable.

Make sure your tires are properly inflated. The U.S. Department of Energy says that for every 1 psi missing from your car's set of 4 tires, you lose 0.1 percent of your gas mileage. And your tires will last longer.

“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.”
― Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”
― Nelson Mandela

“The bravest thing I ever did was continuing my life when I wanted to die.”
― Juliette Lewis

My Time in Twitmo [a thread]

Ah, sweet smell of freedom. Friends, I have been released from the Twitter Big House, and I am here to report on my time there.

The air is fetid inside, rank with the odious sweat of politicians run amok, and doctors of questionable ethics, and

seditionists chafing from their confinement. Or it might be their nether regions had not been washed in some time.

Upon my arrival, I protested loudly that I had not received a Miranda warning. Not for nothing had I watched Perry Mason in my youth, not to mention Judge Judy and

Night Court.

My captors smugly pointed to the Terms of Service. I hung my head low. Score one for the oppressors.

Then I claimed my right to legal counsel, but the finest lawyers in all of Twitterdom had blocked me. In my hour of need, Rudy Giuliani ignored me. Jenna Ellis

@RepBoebert

#BoebertReportCard, expenses. In case you wondered who Chucklehead @RepBoebert has on staff and how much they're paid to ignore you, these are the figures from her 3rd qtr disbursements. These are taxpayer dollars. Poor Jake Settle isn't getting paid very much @tobymorton

And here's how much she's paying in rent for her district offices, and to whom.

She also had six paid interns during some or all of 3rd quarter. Not listing their names, as I'm not sure of their ages, and there's no point in embarrassing them.

For today’s #boebertreportcard, let’s look at the seven resolutions Chucklehead was bragging about as “accomplishments” this weekend. (A thread)

1 Cosponsor: Doug Lamborn, R-CO
This is a House Resolution, with no enforcement mechanism. If passed, it basically says, “We want the USS Pueblo back.” Which has been US policy since the ship was captured by North Korea in 1968.

11 Cosponsors, mostly members of the Freedumb Caucus. This is another House Resolution with no binding power, just a lot of whereas paragraphs.

@repboebert

Chucklehead @repboebert posted her “by the numbers” self-assessment yesterday. Let’s use this edition of the #boebertreportcard to look at those numbers.

20,168 Calls with your Congresswoman

One wonders if this includes all the voicemails from us unhappy constituents? From a sheer numbers perspective this one doesn’t add up. If she worked 362 days in 2021 (she didn’t) that’d be over 55 calls a day. Maybe she means with her staff.

62 Mobile Office Hours

Now this sounds like she made herself available, but no. These “mobile office hours” involve her taxpayer funded staff going to places in the district, usually for an hour at a time, then packing up and moving on to the next place.
