The White House is picking a fight with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) after her hometown newspaper in Floyd County touted federal public safety grants the area was set to receive through the American Rescue Plan.
Greene, along with every other House Republican, voted against the American Rescue Plan in March 2021.

@Litzz11 This is why they still have chances to win. They can bash the hand that feeds AND take the money because they have no sense of shame.

I got some Onn brand walkie talkies intending to use them in the mountains (which we did!). I'm learning all about how they work, including the privacy codes. Now I'm falling down the rabbit hole of #FRS (low power walkies like the ones I have) and #GMRS, and #CB and #HamRadio are on my radar now...

@blake In the United States, no.

GMRS is a license you buy to use the frequencies.

FCC amateur radio call signs are issued to folks who have passed a test to use certain frequencies.

@blake I'm an old radio head, started in CB in the late 80s and have my amateur radio license. I'd be happy to answer any questions!

President Carter added water-heating solar panels to the White House in 1979, to demonstrate an ambitious long term commitment to renewable energy.

President Reagan, who was vehemently opposed to renewable energy, would later order their removal.

The panels weren't removed until 1986, though some of the sources I've seen claim that he ordered the removal as early as 1981. Whatever the timeline, Reagan proposed a budget that reduced Federal funding for renewable energy research by 85%.

In WW 2, millions of women, called "Rosies," supported the forces. Often overlooked are "Black Rosies," 600,000 Black women who joined various industries. Racism, sexism, & other obstacles hindered them. Despite these adversities, they made significant contributions to the war effort. Given the challenges, these remarkable women are some of the most significant figures of the 20th century. They have earned their place in history.

@Deglassco @blackmastodon @BlackMastodon My senior thesis at the University of Washington was on women like this that built the Boeing B-29 Superfortress, the most advanced tech of its day.

I got to meet one woman who was 90 years old and she let me interview her! Amazing folks!!

@Deglassco Boeing here in Seattle did a full restoration on one of the B-29 Superfortress is that can be seen at the Museum of Flight.

The airplane really is a technological marvel! Whoever’s hands put it together had to be skilled and caring!

@Deglassco I was lucky enough to have some classes with Dr. Quintard Taylor of the University of Washington. I’ve researched some of the info on http://www.blackpast.org which has become a great resource for research on African American history!

Now I’ll shut up and give you some peace and quiet. ☺️

Cheers and glad to have found you on Mastodon!

I am imperfectly built but my wiring demands I must stand against hatred and bigotry. I know some people aren't wired the way I am but if you're not, I ask that you make the decision to stand with me if you can.

Twitter evicted for non-payment of rent in Boulder, CO. Sheriff ordered to evict.

owes three months’ rent to its Boulder landlord, and a judge has signed off on evicting the tech giant from its office there

The judge issued an order that the sheriff should assist in the eviction of Twitter within the next 49 days — i.e. before the end of July

More than 150 staff work there.

The case number is 2023CV30342 in Boulder District Court.

@paul I'd bet there is some giant tax write off or something for if you get evicted that us non-billionaire property owners have no inkling of.

In the 90s my Dad was complaining to his friend that all I did was play video games on the computer. His friend, who was in IT at the time, said "He's installing software and troubleshooting/upgrading the computer to make those games work."

His friend was right. I ended up helping my high school setup their computer lab, which led to my first computer repair job, which turned into running my own IT Consulting business.

Playing computer games turned into a 25+ year career.

Encourage kids to do what they love. You never know what it might turn into.

Why would they want work with her when they have a "don't say gay" policy? How many gay people work in the fashion industry?? Hello!
