"Congress Just Made It Basically Impossible to Track Taylor Swift’s Private Jet"

Oh look. #Republicans in Congress did something.

Roads and bridges collapsing, air traffic control and airports underfunded but Congress is on the case.

""The agency now has the ability to protect the free and open internet -- and to track service outages, protect internet users from ISPs' privacy invasions, promote broadband competition and deployment, and take action against hidden junk fees, data caps, and billing rip-offs.""

As it should be.

Of course, the #criminal #republicans #gop are squealing like stuck pigs because their pals can't make their profits and crush speech.

Number one killer of human beings on the planet is starvation, followed by (easily curable) disease and lack of clean water.

Shortly to be overtaken by "maximum wet bulb temperature", because fossil fuel profits are more important than life.

Trust me on this one. Might even make "the news" if 200 or so million die in one season.

Maybe not though.

The headlines have to compete with sports, fashion, pop music and Trump's latest bloviation.

If you spin fast enough, the temporal displacement can send you forwards or backwards in time. Depends upon the phase of the chronoton particles.

#NATO should have deployed aircraft inside #Ukraine to knock down #Russian drones and missiles. Strictly defensive support.

In 2014. Ten years ago.

Today, Russia lobs huge bombs at civilians, as NATO sits on its ass and watches over the border.

#NevilleChamberlain is smirking from his grave.

"The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards #justice - MLK Jr

At times it seems as if the arc dips into a singularity, and disappears entirely. But somehow, it reappears and is forged into a new understanding of how things should be.

I have to remind myself (too often, it seems) how
#BendingTowardsJustice is a multi generational task.

I've got 3 takes on the #KristiNoem dog business, going from this story on the BBC:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-68909801

1. The dog (fair enough).
2. The goat (not so fair).
3. The way she talks about it (horrible).

I'll tackle each in a separate post for space.
