Good solid reporting here from PBS - this is the caliber of person Trump wants for Attorney General. Gaetz is still quite close to Trump. Parenthetically, Trump and allies would just love to get rid of PBS. And so it begins.

NCAA president Charlie Baker says there are "less than 10" #trans athletes out of 510,000 college athletes
Republicans have totally lied to people about this issue. Please share so everyone can know the truth: https://thehill.com/homenews/lgbtq/5046662-ncaa-president-transgender-athletes-college-sports/

Today I had my first ever pangolin sighting. It was a tiny one, probably a youngster. We walked with it to make sure it got safely where it was headed and away from the road. It’s taken 8½ years of hiking in Taiwan to have this neat experience. I feel so lucky!

@Taiwan_Trails You are indeed lucky! I lived there for two years and never saw one. @echanda

⚠️ BREAKING:
China 🇨🇳 Faces Surge in Deadly Virus Outbreaks, Hospitals Overwhelmed as Fatalities Rise
China is grappling with a significant rise in infections from multiple deadly viruses, including COVID-19 and Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV).
My contract has expired. Now I have to decide if I want to expend the energy looking for something part-time, or just be a normal retired person.
Got a six-book series from Kindle unlimited. When I finished the sixth book I was promoted to "tap here" for book seven. Now that I'm midway through book right, I thought I'd look and see just how many books there are in this six book series. Ten. There are ten books in this six book series.

For decades, Republicans have warned immigrants would come and steal American jobs.
Finally, they have a case that proves them right: A wealthy South African immigrant is now taking over the President's job.

@AlliFlowers I had a deep fried snickers bar once. It tasted like diabetes.
@dukepaaron Sounds like you would fit in well down here where they will fry anything including butter.
@dukepaaron Fried gefilte fish croquettes.... While I would probably enjoy them (I always have gefilte fish in the house), I think it would be a bridge too far for my Southern shagetz husband, even though he wants everything fried and served with a side of lard.

A few neat recipes in here but also a good introductory narrative. But deep fried gefilte fish croquets?! Sign me the F up, חברים
"[I]n every place, oil and dairy products are recognized as symbolic, traditional #Chanukah #foods related to #Jewish #history and redemption. Oil emphasizes the miracle of the cruse found in the Holy Temple, which burned for eight days when there was only enough for a single day.
Dairy food products commemorate the heroism of Judith. She fed the enemy general Holofernes large quantities of salty cheese, washed down with wine, perhaps the specialties of the area. He fell into a drunken stupor, Judith killed him, the enemy army fled, and the #Jews were saved."

@BenRiceM Fail. No capitalization. No grammar. No subject-verb agreement. No verb!

Republicans cannot govern. This is true no matter how many times we are dumb enough to run this experiment. Republicans no longer build. They do not create. They bulldoze, destroy, burn, rape and pillage, they liquidate divisions to momentarily maximize shareholder value and then they cash out. They have no interest beyond momentary profit.
They cannot govern because good government is utterly at odds with their miserable ideology of greed, fear, and destruction.
It's just that simple.
It won't matter, cause soon the republicans will be back in power so there won't be any more hurricanes. They'll control the weather, right? And surely they wouldn't visit a hurricane on their own... And all the gulf states are red. https://mastodon.social/@RealJournalism/113679807426485496
