Which animal would you be the most afraid of if it gained thumbs?

@Mrfunkedude Geese. The gang at my local park are scary enough without thumbs.

Worth emphasizing this, because most news outlets did not:

“Rep. Matt (R-Fla.) on Thursday ominously invoked Donald ’s call to far-right violent extremists while joining the former president at his criminal trial in New York.

“Standing back and standing by, Mr. President,” Gaetz wrote on social media, along with a photo of himself positioned behind Trump at his trial.”

Y'all I just made myself feel so old, hubs looked up top 100 music from 2001, 2011, 2021, and today and the amount of music I could recognize decreased by significantly. I recognized probably 70% of 2001 and decreasing as I went on. BUT I blame the internet, I can listen to exactly the kind of music I want with no dependence on the radio, but also I'm old!

SailorDisco,
@SailorDisco@mastodon.social avatar

@RickiTarr The 2000s should be my decade of music but I can’t recognize most of it. That’s only because I was too busy listening to J-Pop. I’m most familiar with music from the 50s, 60s, 70s (thanks mom), then the 90s.

Report

"Israel's Use of Palestinian Children as Human Shields"

Three boys say the IDF used them to shield soldiers from potential harm during an IDF raid on a refugee camp.

"They forced Karam to walk in front of them, open the doors to each room, & enter it before them. While they were walking, one soldier placed his rifle on Karam's right shoulder & fired two shots toward an apartment".

Every time there’s a student protest movement the argument against them is always the same, that they couldn’t possibly know their own minds. The young are always looked down upon and underestimated. They go to college to be educated yet simultaneously don’t have the capacity to educate themselves, a narrative that breaks down under scrutiny.

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.

SailorDisco,
@SailorDisco@mastodon.social avatar

I’m from/still live in Petaluma CA

Pros:
Great weather year round
Close proximity to some of the best hiking and camping spots
Only an hour from San Francisco
Vibrant downtown (featured in many films like American Graffiti)

Cons:
High cost of living
High risk fire area
Poor public transportation even though we have a rail line that goes almost to SF
During the summer the "Sonoma odor" from surrounding dairy farms can get pretty bad

@RickiTarr @MaierAmsden we have poultry too. We’re known for both and even have a "Butter and Eggs Day" parade to celebrate it.

@nf3xn @jackyan I do think there’s room for a LOTR series in the DISTANT future. A lot of stuff got cut from the movies deserves to be part of a new adaptation. That aside if the right team got the rights to the Silmarillion there’s potential for 3 to 5 films that could be bigger than LOTR.

"They Used to Say Arabs Can’t Have Democracy Because It’d Be Bad for Israel. Now the U.S. Can’t Have It Either"

"Arab publics favor the Palestinians, the thinking goes, & will vote in governments that act accordingly — & that is a no-go zone."

Now, "the U.S., it seems, can’t have democracy either, lest an American democracy end its support for everything & anything Israel wants to do to the Palestinians."

@DrALJONES If, or more like when, that gets signed into law it’s only going to fuel more protests even while it has a chilling effect on everyone else. This is probably the worse attack on our freedom since the patriot act.

did a brilliant take down of the smear campaign against the students protesting against in . If you’re able to you should check it out. It should be easy to see you’re on the wrong side when you’re sending out cops to knock down a 65 year old Jewish professor of Jewish studies while claiming you’re keeping Jewish students and faculty safe.

"Splurging once meant spending money on buzzy restaurants, expensive vacations, and designer clothing. These days, what's considered splurge-worthy falls into a more humble category."

Or maybe we just can’t afford as much as we used to and COVID made many of us wary about eating out.
