  1. RE: bovi.social/@daniel/1169883526

    Either way I digress. The CxU has a lot of experience with Zombies as their main voters and Vampires as their main candidate options. So there is a potential synergy here. #thinkOutsideTheBox

  2. A LOT OF TALK THIS MORNING about calls to "reform" #SCotUS.

    Both Rep. Ro Khanna on #FnS and Sen. Corey Booker on #MtP called for "expanding the court" & "term limits" (Khanna went even further, limiting every prez to "2 appointments"… leaving a vacancy to the next prez if they already got their two.) 🤦‍♂️ 😒

    NO NO NO NO.

    There IS a way to reform the court w/o resorting to likely unconstitutional modifications sure to be challenged by the #GOP:

  4. I love it when people can think outside of the box and show middle finger to “best practices”. Take the newsletter Dense Discovery as an example. It has reader forum which has no: signup, login form profile, password.
    All the links just have session ID in them. It. Just. Works.

    One community had an ingenious solution:

    Put out feed laced with birth control for the deer.

  8. A REMINDER:

    #MagLev trains, every bit as fast as jet aircraft, don't need "Air Traffic Controllers" to operate, and don't fall out of the sky & explode. #ThinkOutsideTheBox #Shutdown #ATC

    I remind everyone Justice Roberts "saved" the #ACA with basically the same argument:

    "The government can tax you for breathing if they want to."

    Seeing him raise this same argument again reinforces my argument that the best way to quickly & dramatically curb gun violence is to #TaxGunpowder #TaxCordite #ThinkOutsideTheBox

    There are ways to accommodate such practices.

    "Target practice" can be restricted to licensed shooting ranges that provide ammunition for free as part of your paid membership, and all unspent ammunition is turned over before you leave.

    Is it worth one child's life to dismiss a practical solution w/o searching for ways to impliment it? 🤔 #ThinkOutsideTheBox #TaxGunpowder #TaxCordite #Minneapolis #Minnesota

    One quirky benefit of being a Communist Dictatorship is that you don't have a few dozen wealthy corporate moguls telling the gov't not to compete "against them" (hindering progress.)

    There's a way to do this in a Capitalist Democracy: Gov't builds the tracks. The airlines provide the trains. #ThinkOutsideTheBox #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #Green #GreenTech

    The largest amount of jet fuel used in the shortest amount of time is during takeoff.

    We could save BILLIONS of gallons of jet fuel if we used an electric "rail-gun" to launch planes similar to the way military fighter jets are launched off the extremely short runway of aircraft carriers. #GreenTech #ThinkOutsideTheBox

  18. Social media isn’t "democratized" just because people sit in Echo Chambers, surrounded by those who agree and cheer them on. True progress comes from challenging ideas, questioning assumptions, and pushing each other to think, learn, and grow—not from endless back-patting.

    Her experience highlights the need for #Congress to #Standardize EV batteries for ALL passenger vehicles so we can have #EV #Battery Swap kiosks installed at every gas station in the country. #ThinkOutsideTheBox

  21. I found these decorative abominations on clearance this weekend for $3.99 each. Cloches can be pricey so I hope to tear these apart and use them to host my felted creatures. Will have to handle gingerly so as not break the glass. I like that they have lighting and are rechargeable. If successful, these will make lovely displays. #ThinkOutsideTheBox #maker #repurpose

  23. DHS foiled a terrorist plot targeting #ElectionDay.

    Note his plan to purchase "500 rounds of ammunition". I've LONG advocated for a #GunpowderTax raising the cost to around $100/bullet (not unreasonable to if it's to protect your family.)

    "500 rounds" would have cost him $50,000... which unlikely would not have been able to afford, and would have raised red flags if he had. #TaxGunpowder #TaxCordite #ThinkOutsideTheBox

  25. #ABCNews reporting that the #I75 #Kentucky Highway shooter, "bought 1,000 rounds of ammunition the day before" (as well as an #AR15 style weapon.)

    Under my plan, that much ammunition would have cost him $100,000. #ThinkOutsideTheBox #TaxGunpowder #TaxCordite

    One incredible irony is that… while #Republicans accuse #Democrats of having "an #OpenBorder" policy… NOTHING would do MORE to curb illegal #immigration & reduce the number of #immigrants moving here "permanently" than an "Open" border.

    If the U.S. issued "work visas" (sponsored by their employer) and placed dozens of #Checkpoints along the border (checking for contraband), migrants could remain in #Mexico and commute across the border daily, saving Billions. #ThinkOutsideTheBox

    Actually, we don't need to "ban" private jets to mitigate the damage they do.

    There are ways for them to use less fuel and minimize/eliminate exhaust.

    Embed a "slingshot" in runways (like on aircraft carriers) to launch planes using less fuel. Once in flight, use #Hybrid engines for less exhaust and better mileage. #ThinkOutsideTheBox

    I have an idea on how to "fix" the #Autobahn in #Germany:

    1) "Left lane only" for high speed vehicles.
    2) People who wish to drive fast will need an "#EZTag" they can only get after safety training. Speed w/o one and get a fine in the mail. #ThinkOutsideTheBox

    Incredibly, #ChiefJustice #Roberts was FAR more Moderate when the Court was 5/4, but since becoming 6/3, he is letting his freak flag fly and swinging for the fences. #ReformTheCourt #ThinkOutsideTheBox
