Car-sharing cars and scooters are shown floating in the river, taxis are being called to the other side of the city, and pedestrian navigation is working intermittently.
@boilingsteam That looks cool...the only store in the #USA that we have that looks like that is #Costco. I thought that was some sort of expo at first.
Dresses were the norm for boys in 100+ years ago, and the color pink was a color for boys as well.
Oh yea and in the 1700s it was normal fashion for men to wear high heels.
But hey, lets make up whatever fake history we want to make gender norms sound like they have always been the same and that "cross dressing" and "drag" are somehow new inventions.
@freemo Oh I see, thanks for the clarification; yes, people have done this across time. There was actually an OT commandment telling the Israelites to not cross-dress (Deuteronomy 22:5) so the practice likely has more or less been around forever.
Although, cross-dressing in the #USA as a serious act I think is new; traditionally it was relegated to comedy sketches. I could be wrong tho.
Russia accuses US of being behind drone attack at Kremlin against Putin
Lol - yes, Steve from Ohio bought a drone from a Moscow local wal-mart, Armed it with a Black Cat firecracker, launched it from across the street, then blew it up near the flag pole.
Ah, ain't #Hypercapitalism wonderful. As so often the case the #USA is 1st to explore the extremes of its glorious extent.
We all love #Nature and #Wildlife and the US has the most beautiful national parcs to endulge it. But we can't go all at once, right? Need permits so it doesn't get too crowded. And you can enter a lottery so it seems fair.
A perfect opportunity to exploit! When using a lottery most $$$ go to Booz Allen Hamilton government and #military contractor.

...in Anbetracht des in einer Zerreisprobe befindlichen Negativbeispiels #USA*, halte ich i.Ü. auch eine weitere Polarisierung der deutschsprachigen Gesellschaft für gefährlich.
Ich bin kein Soziologe, aber vielleicht wäre Deeskalation eher ein Ansatz.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr told the USA over and over again in 1967 about the triple evils of racism, poverty and militarism and the country—yes, the COUNTRY (symbolically) killed him instead. And every time this country starts a war or an act of gun violence occurs here or a poor person is created or demonized or a person refuses to vote this country called the USA kills MLK Jr all over again.
When you have a selfish society that values relentless capitalistic ways, violence, greed, war, power, money, guns and objects over human beings and all other living things and nature all you get in return is death, destruction and pollution.
The fascist GOP bastards who attack Black prosecutors and remove them (and white progressive DAs) from office don’t want to end crime. They want to maintain it. They fundraise off it. They fearmonger YOU the voter, around it. They want incarceration. They’d have no job otherwise. They want to maintain a system of incarceration and oppression.
Texas, USA. A Bill before the State House seeks to have regular training for trauma response in schools.
For who? For 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 from 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗱 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲 up.
3rd Grade. 8 years old. They're going to learn how to, after successfully hiding from a school shooter, triage their classmates, pick the ones that might survive, apply 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤 techniques to try and keep them alive, and move on to the next victim.
America, you have a serious bloody problem.
Beau is rightly angry. Please take the time to watch this, especially if you are Texan, and particularly if you have kids in school. (11 min)
But you see the way things are in Texas, wouldn’t have put it past them to have tried to take my retirement for stating this opinion publicly. They do that if we try to strike. Never mind the first amendment. Murderous, ignorant fools. Texas is hell. #Truth#USA#NoMoreLies
