Fox News host Jesse Watters, who was just given Tucker Carlson's timeslot, made a crude "joke" about VP Kamala Harris' gender at an insurance industry function back in April. The result was an "epic meltdown."

"If much of contemporary life is wrapped up in plastic, and the result of this is that we are poisoning our kids, ourselves, and our ecosystems, then contemporary life may need to be rethought."

Judges Block Transgender Care Bans for Minors in Kentucky and Tennessee: The rulings extend a winning streak in court for transgender-rights advocates, who are trying to block new state laws that ban gender-transition care.

@jann @mikebrew @Jayslacks The problem with Thor was his aim, and timing. 😉 In End Game they had Thanos talking although I had no idea how it would have helped them if Thor had not been so quick at that point to cut his head off. Thor felt guilty for not going for the head. Peter Quill is the one who should feel guilty for losing it and causing Mantis to lose her mental grip on Thanos when it counted in IW. 😀
@shoq @shoq I agree and just as important we have to get the Koolaid drinkers among us off the juice and shook until they wake up, and face the reality of being used, manipulated, and having their worst impulses as human beings fed with high caloric hate. No wonder “woke” is such a dirty word to the budding fascist overlords. 🤔

As I keep saying, liberals have to give up the idea that they are combatting Republicans. They are at war with Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch, and the plutocratic elite they want to protect and enlarge. When we start aiming at them, and not the noisy nonsense they generate, we’ll start winning.
@ai6yr So after looking at the article was it spying? What was it collecting? 🫤

The U.S. already spends more than twice Russia and China's combined military budget. Cut the bloated US military budget. https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/ro-khanna-house-military-defense-bill-rcna90653?cid=sm_npd_ms_tw_ma&taid=649cc29d25570b0001164e2a&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

Boston Skyline from Fan Pier
The Boston skyline at night is breathtaking to see. The view from Fan Pier captures the city's beauty perfectly.

Water dripped from the gumshoe’s fedora and raincoat as he plodded up the familiar stairs to see his name on the privacy glass on his second-floor office window. He could hear it again as he approached – the sound always there at his arrival. The skeleton key opened the creaky door. And there was the tenor saxophone player. #MiniDetectiveStories

If you want to make your own Fediverse server, you don't need to be a techy person and you don't need to be wealthy.
A Fediverse server with 1 to 5 users costs about $8 a month, and that includes a managed hosting service which does all the technical stuff for you.
I've written a tutorial about starting your own Mastodon server, but most of this applies to any kind of Fedi server:

You can find links to managed hosting services at https://growyourown.services/grow-your-own-social-network/
@shoq otherwise known as The Amazon Effect? …which if it does not put brick and motor out of business will severely impact their bottom line. Why jump in a car to spend hours and find limited selection? Although at times you do need something today. 🤔 BTW, I don’t know what PPEE stands for, searched online. 😳

Another example of #PPEE at work. Once upon a time I could find a 1/16" router bit at any hardware store. Now I have one local (very expensive) supplier as my only alternative to ordering online. Since I need it right now, that's not an option anyway. I'm off to that supplier. BBL

@yasha I’ve found outlines to be outstanding as a study reference to refresh my memory professionally and personally. I’ve rewritten many a manual into my own little study guides. I hate all the extraneous verbiage of complete sentences. 😌

Outlines are useful, but craft them with flexibility in mind. You often have no real idea what you need to say until you've started saying it.
