U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak apologized Wednesday for the treatment of gay veterans, saying that a previous ban on LGBTQ+ people serving in the U.K. military was “an appalling failure of the British state."

Moon House Ruins
Cedar Mesa, Bears Ears National Monument UT
Continuing with my theme of ancient puebloan ruins for #ThrowbackThursday. Moon House is the most unique and best preserved of the ruins I've visited in SE Utah. It is halfway up a steep cliff in a narrow sandstone canyon.
The photo looks down a narrow common room. The wall on the right is on the outside. The back wall of the rooms on the left is the cliff itself. There are other structures on the ledge not pictured here.
The ruins are reachable via moderately strenuous trail; 3.2 miles roundtrip; after a very bumpy drive in a high clearance vehicle. PERMIT REQUITED from https://www.blm.gov/visit/kane-gulch-ranger-station

Why didn't the government see the Jan. 6 attack coming?

Apple will shut off iMessage, Facetime in UK if new law passes
Apple has said that it will not make changes to security features for one country that would weaken a product for all users. Elaborating on its point, Apple says that the law and changes that would have to be made to iMessage and FaceTime — and likely other products — "constitute a serious and direct threat to data security and information privacy" worldwide.

On Fox and Friends, Chris Rufo echoed the increasingly common anti-trans idea that trans people are somehow destabilizing reality itself.
I wrote about whether it's possible to change a person's sex (sure, in theory, why not?), whether trans people are claiming it is (nah), and why conservatives create these grand fantastical narratives that cast their targeting of a vulnerable minority as some grand heroic battle for reality. #trans #journalism

Well my psychiatrist rang, he does not want to discharge me after all. He was slightly cautious about my eventual work trip to Australia and is going to speak to a specialist pharmacist and formulate a plan to minimise disruption to my sleep and medication so the risk of me spectacularly relapsing is reduced. He’s also going to write me a letter for my new university confirming my #bipolar diagnosis and treatment, so that I can get student disability support. I like that when he rings he introduces himself as “Firstname Lastname”, not “Dr Lastname”. He’s a good egg.

FROM THE PULLED Documentary of #desantis at Gitmo. He's a ghoul.
"the network said the episode contained allegations from “former detainees that he was present at force-feedings that were condemned as torture by the UN” raised the “role of Navy JAGs in the investigation of the detainee deaths.”

Influential activist #LeonardLeo helped fund media campaign #lionizing #ClarenceThomas. Public relations campaign shows how he has continued to exert influence in support of #rightleaning #justices aftr helping them secure #lifetime appointments. It adds to emerging portrait of Leo as behind-the-scenes #benefactor, defending justices from public criticism and exalting their jurisprudence while tending to personal matters including private travel and a spouse’s employment. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2023/07/20/leonard-leo-clarence-thomas-paoletta/

Trump’s many other crimes should not let anyone lose sight of the fact that he raped Jean Carroll. A jury found that unanimously, and now a judge has reaffirmed it clearly and forcefully.
Republicans must be asked again and again: If rape isn’t disqualifying in a candidate for public office, what is?

The plant, which employs 18 people, started production of biochar in April. It generated 100 tons of #BioChar in June and is expected to produce 500 tons this month. The hope is to ramp up production to about 10,000 tons per year and begin marketing the product to customers in 2024. https://www.bluemountaineagle.com/news/new-biochar-plant-in-john-day-ramps-up-production/article_83c60132-24eb-11ee-854b-477f2fab38ba.html

They say, “If you have your health, you have everything.” But I think we should go one step further and say “If you have your mental health, you have everything.” You can be fortunate in every way but without a healthy mental outlook, life is a burden.

I know some of you kids are reading this. Even if you aren't up to taking the land back from Uncle Grandpa yet you can start learning how to work the land and garden. Trust me when I tell you it's harder than it looks and dealing with abandoned land is fucked :)
You have to learn a lot of stuff to become a space communist son.
