@unklar You know, like hybrid learning.
@unklar Awwww man. I got that one wrong.
I figured a hybrid eclipse was one that happened for anyone to see, while being discussed in a virtual classroom.
@flexghost I went to a local festival this past weekend and was surprised to see Tupperware had a booth there. I thought they’d disappeared long ago.
"If mass murderers had a lobby, they would have nothing to ask for, because #Republicans have given them every law they could possibly want." --Lawrence O'Donnell just now.
We need to brand Moms for Liberty as a hate group and outlaw them already.

Beijing - which views Taiwan as a breakaway province of China - called the operation a "stern warning" to the island's government.
The exercises began hours after President Tsai Ing-wen returned from a trip to the United States.
The Taiwanese Defence Ministry said 71 Chinese military planes and nine ships crossed the Taiwan Strait median line.
The line is an unofficial dividing line between Chinese and Taiwanese territory

“The United States and our allies must impose severe sanctions on Vladimir Putin and his fellow oligarchs. At a time when thousands may die as a result of his war, Putin, one of the richest people in the world, should not be allowed to enjoy the billions he stole from the Russian people.

$80 million of the $110 million Desantis has raised is tied up in a soft-money FL PAC. It would violate campaign finance laws for him to use that in a presidential campaign, although he is likely to try. https://dnyuz.com/2023/04/08/for-desantis-overflowing-war-chest-obscures-the-challenges-ahead/

Official: Kidnapped Ukrainian children punished for refusing to sing Russian national anthem.
Children complain of beatings and other punishments for refusing to sing the Russian anthem and for mentioning that they are Ukrainians.
As punishment, Ukrainian children were not allowed to go for walks and were forced to rewrite Russian texts
The children said they were told that their parents “abandoned” them and that they should not return to Ukraine, where “no one is waiting for them.”

Third dose of #Pfizer vaccine during #pregnancy protects the baby 53% more than two doses during pregnancy! Rates of hospitalization in Israel for a baby younger than 4 months were 0.4% for 3-dose mothers, 0.6% for 2-dose mothers, and 0.7% for unvaccinated mothers. A baby born to an #unvaccinated mother had a 1 in 143 chance of being hospitalized for #COVID in the first 4 months. 6/

That’s where we are. People believe absolute insanity and it informs legislation. Christofascists are unfit for office
