This is the reason that I'm the Black Sheep of the family.

This is an actual family photo that accompanied an invite for the 'family reunion' this year. I was not present when the photo was taken.

My parents & grandparents were not this way.

This has only happened since Trump, although I've only ever fit with very few family members.

This is what has happened.

Please don't think badly of me.
It has never held my endorsement or beliefs or those of my children.

Biden slams 'outrageous' ICC warrant for arrest of Israeli leaders - AFP

panamared27401,
@panamared27401@mstdn.social avatar

@GottaLaff Oh, for fuck's sake. War crimes are war crimes. Crimes against humanity are crimes against humanity. As an American who supports Israel, I am beyond fucking tired of the attitude that American and Israeli leaders can do no wrong and should not be held to the same standards as everyone else.

panamared27401,

@GottaLaff I'm gonna vote for him no matter what, but he's engaging as dishonestly with the subject as any Republican would. Netanyahu != Israel, and a good leader would find a way to make that clear. Republicans are going to criticize him no matter what he does, so he may as well do the right thing.

Jasmine Crockett Roasts Marjorie Taylor Greene's 'Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body' After 'Fake Eyelashes' Remark

@br00t4c Interesting how none of the news outlets reporting on this pointed out that Greene started it by saying something racist.

There’s a new playbook being written right now when it comes to the future of social media. The early-mover advantage is still in effect, and there’s a lot to figure out. Gone are opaque algorithms and the whims of any single company.

The fediverse represents a chance for quality journalism to shine again.

We talked to two leaders at fedi-forward publications — @TheConversationUS's @BostonAbrams, and @404mediaco's @jasonkoebler — about why they’re investing in the open social web, what they’ve learned so far, and their advice for other publishers just getting started.

@rticks
I have questions: 1) What does Item 1 look like? For example, we could change the tax code to more strongly benefit nonprofits and the donors/subscribers who support them, but what else? 2) Who would do the ratings, and what are the odds that if it's, say, academics, that MAGAts would take the ratings seriously? 3) Re Item 4, when you say that politicians should "phase out" Agenda journalism, do you mean no longer talk to those outlets, or what? Thanks!

@arstechnica So they've been warned about possible (read: likely) problems with their legislation, and they're passing it anyway. This is why you should never elect Republicans.

Some jackhole in the bar played that Kid Rock/Sheryl Crow duet song on the jukebox and Sheryl Crow seems to be a fairly decent person so it probably has to suck that you are now emblazoned digitally through all time singing dulcet poetry to a greasy kitchen mop in a hat who went on to become one of America's most strident publicly-declared neo-Nazis.

Republicans are trying to take away and criminalize the right to make decisions around our own health, whether that’s the right to wear a mask or the right to have an abortion. Unacceptable.

@luckytran The purpose of the legislation is to prevent (constitutionally protected) public protests and prevent any future mask mandates. Sieg Heil.

Agree.

My take: This is not a debate, it's spectacle.

Via Jennifer Mercieca:

I mean, #Biden can debate him if he wants to, but authoritarians like #Trump don’t debate. Trump will be there for one reason: to humiliate Biden.

Now

Trump enters the courtroom and is seated at the defense table.

Photojournalists go close up in front of him, as usual, to take their photos.

"All rise."

Justice Merchan takes the bench and invites Trump's lawyer Emil Bove to put their email exchange from Wednesday on the record.

It's an evidentiary issue.
