This is the reason that I'm the Black Sheep of the family.

This is an actual family photo that accompanied an invite for the 'family reunion' this year. I was not present when the photo was taken.

My parents & grandparents were not this way.

This has only happened since Trump, although I've only ever fit with very few family members.

This is what has happened.

Please don't think badly of me.
It has never held my endorsement or beliefs or those of my children.

@Skepticat … a family reunion, was the theme kill your own lunch?

Regardless, we can have our own reunion, with coffee, doughnuts and weed. Real leftist radicalizing stuff, we might even swing by a craft microbrewery.

Some good health news: an effective, universal vaccine will likely be developed for :

"The first pan-coronavirus ("universal") vaccine Phase 1 clinical trial results are encouraging for eliciting broad sarbecovirus, variant immune response.

We haven't seen this in people before:

Individuals vaccinated with SpFN/ALFQ had robust
cell-mediated and antibody responses against multiple clade 1 sarbecoviruses."

@samhainnight @KimPerales @erictopol the way I read it then it is resilient against every COVID variant at rates similar to the targeted booster shots from Moderna and Pfizer. Additionally it appears to provide protection for longer than them and against other types of viruses in the corona category (specifically SARS)

All good news, especially not needing to chase variants, since COVID-19 mutates rather quickly, causing a dip in protection.

Where do you live and how do you feel about it?

Obviously, don't tell me exactly where you live, no actual addresses please! You can be as vague as you like.

I live in Central Missouri in the U.S.

Pros:

This is an absolutely beautiful place, green rolling hills, lots of rivers, lakes, ponds, and natural springs, cool caves to explore.

Lots of farming here, so great access to quality fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, and dairy.

It's relatively inexpensive to live here compared with other states, because it's a "flyover".

I'm close enough to three major cities, that it's an easy day trip, and I'm about halfway to anywhere in the U.S.

We have one of the best Conservation departments in the U.S. and this is one of the few things that is a bipartisan issue. Lots of awesome nature programs that are free or cheap, state parks, conservation areas, bird watching, hunting, boating, foraging available to everyone.

Cons:

Yeah, it's a big one, it is a RED STATE, while a lot of the cities are blue, there is a large rural population, that votes red. Abortion is not legal here. People often vote against their own self interest.

While I'm not against responsible gun ownership, lots of people aren't responsible, and people have access to guns that definitely should not.

We have very few employee protections here, while the cost of living is relatively low compared with other places, it's taken years to get to a $12 minimum wage, and it's still not enough.

@RickiTarr Curitiba, Brazil.

Pros:
The food is great, cost of living is reasonable and we have a lot of nice parks.

Cons:
High crime rate, deeply conservative. Houses are always built without insulation and heated water is considered a luxury.

To sum it up, I have three neighbors, respectively known as The Drug Lord, The Money Launderer and the Criminal Defense Lawyer (who incidentally speaks exactly like Janice from Friends).

@Skepticat I’ll meet you there, because I just read the story of , the golden retriever who GOL killed. Coffee, doughnuts and hashish.

DavidNielsen,
@DavidNielsen@mastodon.social avatar

@Skepticat it’s a Brazilian story, GOL is one of the major airlines. They were transporting a golden retriever along with its trainer and shipped it to the wrong city. Somewhere along the line, it died of a heart attack, at only 5 years old.

There will be hearings, because GOL have largely just said “shit happens, oops!”

I had hopes of bringing my dog with me to see my family in Denmark, but now I am simply to frightened to even begin to navigate that system. Too great a risk.

"Do we look at motives?" Gorsuch being serious. Then, motives do not matter.
These are the people who forced a 12 year old to give birth to her rapists baby.
Why would I any longer expect justice from these people?
The SCOTUS is destroying democracy right before our very eyes.

🤦🏻‍♀️ “NY’s highest court on Thur overturned Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 conviction on felony sex crime charges, a stunning reversal in the foundational case of the era.

In 4-3 decision, NY Court of Appeals found trial judge who presided over Weinstein’s case made a crucial mistake, allowing prosecutors to call as witnesses a series of women who said Mr. Weinstein had assaulted them — but whose accusations were not part of the charges against him.”

made burgs. ...can't really see them but they've got pepper and jalapeno in 'em. They were really good! Juicy, probably didn't need the second slice of cheese.

Nothing fancy but I'm trying to get myself making at least something almost every day to work back into 'real' meals.

I can do the Hello Fresh recipes and they're great but getting in the mood just crushes me and then the ingredients are rotten. baby steps
