@sepfeiffer I find there are some things that refuse to sync between my iPhone and iPad, and even using #Ivory, if I switch between them, they won’t start at the same place. @stux @GottaLaff
@sepfeiffer Curious. You might want to try one of the free apps just to see if you still have the problem. @stux @GottaLaff
Flights are cancelled but it's not Covid. Shortage of nurses and doctors but it's not Covid. All these people with suddenly worse than ever hay fever but it's not Covid. Your favorite musicians cancelled their tours but it's not Covid, not enough teachers but it's not Covid... #CovidIsNotOver #LongCOVID #COVIDisAirborne #travel #education #health

Which is more divisive?
Telling children about the time black churches were bombed in order to suppress their participation in the civil rights movement so that no one brings back that level of oppression?
Or making it illegal to tell children about that so that it becomes possible for things to be that bad again.

I don’t understand why that’s being ignored. — Secret records: Government says Marine's adoption of Afghan orphan seen as abduction, must be undone https://apnews.com/article/afghan-war-orphan-marine-baby-abduct-adoption-8a0411f16067d73ad0d86b706f5ae46d
Oof. LockBit added Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida to their leak site with a file list and samples. The countdown clock is 10 days, and LockBit claims to have 2 TB of files, and:
"Seems that HCPS do not care about their county's 270 000 students and 17 000 teachers data. We give them 10 days to consider and we will release all data to public after 3 day auction to sell it private."
