Well y'all, back inside from a morning of brush cuttin n hedge clearing. And now I'm pretty much exhausted myself for #today.
Loads done too. Another day like #today n I'll be caught up to where I was last year n ready to move onward.😊
The nephews are out of school so they came over to #joinin. They are young yet, 8 n 10 years old, so they still find such things fun and thought the electric weed trimmer was just the coolest thing. Took turns trimming everything that the thing could handle, with me following behind to tackle the bigger stuff.😁
But it's noon n getting hot in the sun and I've pretty much run out of energy for #myday. I have the habit of pushing myself a little bit harder than I should. Keep standing there saying "just this bit more" then do it again and again until, well.. I'm about to fall over if I don't stop.🥴
Well, have reached that point. Time for a nice long rest, a cool drink or two and lunch. Hope y'all are enjoying a wonderful n satisfying day too.👍😁🖖

Crosspost from Twitter by @JuliaDavisNews:
The head of Germany’s domestic intelligence agency warned Monday of a rise in anti-government extremism - fueled by authoritarian states such as Russia - that seeks to divide society and topple the government.

@realTuckFrumper This is why as a general rule you don’t see any currently elected GOP officials make soft statements regarding LBGT issues. If they sound reasonable, the mob back home will turn on them on a dime. The real question here is why is the current pack of Right Wing politicians elected, that have the appeal they do? It’s a bad sign for the state of the country. 🤔

The permanent end of the needless obscenity that is war is the only thanks for my service I want.
There really is more than enough to go around for everyone, now and far into our future, if we want such an existence for humanity.

Biden deserves and won't get credit for negotiating with the worst-faith Republicans every to “run” government. I hate the fact that he had to agree to cuts; I love that we’re (likely) not driving off the cliff, which Republicans were apparently absolutely prepared to this time around. Businesses and major donors failed to raise the hue and cry at the GOP about default—they’ve gotten too used to brinkspersonship.
#TexasGOP I’m surprised, did they need a sacrificial lamb to show that the Republicans are the good guys or was there just too much dirt? 🤔

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas’ Republican-led House of Representatives impeached state Attorney General Ken Paxton on Saturday on articles including bribery and abuse of public trust, a sudden, historic rebuke of a GOP official who rose to be a star of the conservative legal movement despite years of scandal and alleged crimes

@Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social So Scott speaks for all Floridians now. 🤔 This is pure politics. However, just don’t cry too much when your Medicare and Social Security is trashed in the GOP’s anti-socialism fervor.
#DangerOfAI. This is not Sky Net yet, but it represents the biggest impact to projected job loss at the hands of Capitalists.
And don’t believe the always floated counter, oh don’t worry, the millions of jobs will be replaced in no time, with equal paying work, fat chance. Human workers are expendable if there is $$$ to be made. 🙄
