Will there be "thoughts and prayers" from the MAGA,Trump,evangelicals and Fox News?

Oh, I'd be REALLY interested to see what label they put on the Bible. After all, in the first chapter, two women get their elderly father drunk, rape him and have children by him. Think THAT ought to warrant a warning label?

This is so silly.

Breaking: NFL announces that Sunday’s Super Bowl Pregame Show will culminate in Taylor Swift skydiving from her arriving Japan flight to land on the field and oversee the coin toss.

I can’t convey how chilling and frankly terrifying this clip from Chinese influencer Zhou Zheng is. When I grew up in #China, no one even knew what a Jew was. Now, #antisemitism on Chinese social media has exploded. Not only does Zhou Zheng say that the Jews deserved the Holocaust, he blames Jews for all of the violence and indignities that China suffered from the British and even the Japanese in the 19th and 20th centuries. Antisemitism wasn’t useful to the Chinese nationalist narrative before but things have changed. #Jewish #Mazeldon #Politics

"Houthis in Yemen will publicly stone & crucify 9 gay men in “gruesome public spectacles”

To those who celebrated the Houthis for "Sticking it to Israel and the USA"....kindly go fuck yourself sincerely.

How many artists did #KanyeWest steal from in order to make his latest album? First, he stole a sample from #OzzyOsbourne despite being explicitly denied permission to use the piece, and now it appears he has stolen a sample from #DonnaSummer. While it's normal for hip-hop artists to sample other artists' work when creating their music, it's not normal to just take the IP when you're denied permission. This is straight up theft.

"The curriculum is questionable: in one instance, a school used instructional materials from the conservative non-profit PragerU that cast doubt on the human-made origins of climate change. In another, 7th graders were asked to imagine themselves as statehood convention delegates and asked whether slavery in #Texas should be legal.

I posted this on some other platforms I'm on because people are still looking for a decent weather place...

If you are into #weather and want realtime information at your fingertips; check out m.ai6yr.org at Mastodon. Ben has really put a lot of work into that instance to have it very informative. He set it up with NWS bots, fire weather news, emergency weather and rescue news, etc, etc, and etc.

I've been there for a little over 2 years now.
I'm not trying to get people to replace this, not at all. But if you want to get your geek on...that's a great supplement!

My bad, I thought the international pop star and the famous tight end football player everyone’s been talking about was David and Victoria.

HOW COULD BIDEN ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN!! IMPEACH!!! #Humor #Political #PoliticalHumor

FYI, this #HouseRepublicans post is absolute #BULLSHIT.

The primary reason their statement is #false?

#Biden did not WILLFULLY retain the docs.

Which is exactly why there are no #criminal charges.

Biden’s kid had JUST DIED.

He did not obstruct the investigation ever.

Biden himself initiated the search after it was discovered Trump not only #willfully stole classified docs but also obstructed the investigation & return of the docs.

“The government has no right to censor #LGBTQ+ people and expression,” said an ACLU spokesperson.

“More important than the monetary recovery, this settlement sends a clear message that the city’s discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community was blatantly unconstitutional and that this type of behavior will no longer be tolerated here — or anywhere across the country.”

Amid all the talk about the 14th Amendment case against Trump before SCOTUS, it's worth noting the statute has already been utilized since the Civil War — once.

Namely, it was used to bar Couy Griffin, a pastor and onetime county commissioner, from office for his role in Jan 6, during which he led some storming the Capitol in prayer. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-faces-14th-amendment-suits-cuoy-griffin-speaks/story?id=103009491
