Newt Gingrich has been banned from stepping foot on the first 3/5 of my lawn since 1996.

Years ago, in the distant past, a youth with no learning, I set out to figure out a way to scare off the crows on my father’s land.

I put up some sticks, but that didn’t work.

Eventually I figured out that fleshing out that skeletal figure worked better. I gave that figure some more depth and dimensionality.

I propped up that skeletal figure, put some clothes on him and stuffed him full of straw. He did good. He scared off the crows.

He was my straw man. He was good at his job. How good is your straw man?

Finally. They listened! I’m so glad they finally are tackling this important problem. It is far more important than starving millions of people in a foreign country to support genocidal fascists.

Holy shit, I remember seeing this in like 1989 on VHS at a friend’s house. Forgotten memory, but seeing this image immediately brought it back wow!

If we had only invaded Afghanistan, I could understand it. But Iraq, as I said at the time, had absolutely nothing to do with it, and it was bullshit.

I go outside and roll around in the grass with my dogs. There’s no enshittification outside.

Mmmm a nice warm pile.

The brutal heat in Mexico is causing howler monkeys to drop dead from trees (wapo.st)

Over the past year, an ongoing and severe drought has parched most of Mexico, draining reservoirs and leaving parts of the country grappling with an acute water crisis. Since mid-March, scorching temperatures have led to at least 26 heat-related deaths, according to the nation’s health ministry. The double-whammy of weather...

I absolutely hate monkeys, they’re little shits. But this is awful and I hope a solution is found.

I hate this clickbait bullshit, whether or not it’s something I think is a good thing.

Oh yeah, this is a show I watch all the time. Great content and they’re not afraid to vehemently disagree with each other too.

Dude, that was so fucking unexpected and caught me with my pants down. Made me cry a little bit. Reminded me of the beginning of Up, but more real.

Great story, way way too short though. More research and better writing would have benefitted it a ton.

I got a new phone, with all the same accounts, but cannot restore my previous lifetime purchases from sync. I'm not sure how to rectify it.

Edit: I’m pretty sure that I made a mistake here, in that I tried to use my main credentials to sign in and transfer, but I actually bought the lifetime on a different account. The likelihood that I confused myself with my paranoia is likely high.

Oh dear lord, I don’t think it warrants a ping for him. I am perfectly willing to just buy it again, but it’s a bit of a curiousity as to why I can’t sync it. I’m a software developer, and given all that I know, just transferring my creds over to a new phone shouldn’t break any links. The exact same credentials on different hardware shouldn’t matter.

I have multiple accounts on varying services, so it’s possible I’m missing something amongst the chaos.

Ad free. Was that a one time per device thing? I bought it the day it was released for the Lemmy version.

I’ll answer this question honestly, but I’ll first misinterpret the question.

I’ll change it to the person I most appreciated in life.

That person was my 6th grade teacher. She was a former catholic nun turned atheist. She was 70 years old when I had her as my teacher. She was quick with a ruler and quick with a lesson. She never actually hit any kid, but my lord, when she thwacked that long ass ruler on a table, we all paid attention. Critical thinking was her passion, emphasis on science and facts over rhetoric were her bywords.

I didn’t look up to her, I didn’t want to be her. But her lessons were paramount in shaping my life from thence to this.

Ms. Wrech, I still remember you.

95% of the time, nothing at all. Now you have to guess what I do for money. :)

I’ve been listening to The Moon using the link I posted. I’m realizing that this link has ads. The broadcast locally here does not have ads. I’ll assume it’s part of being in that internet broadcast system that they’re forced to have ads.
