@kingsley So Jesus is summoned by Satan and acting at his wishes here? Christians conquer evil on earth entirely so Satan and Jesus team up to put a stop to a godly utopia so Satan’s free to go back to inflicting misery? The more you think through her fanfic scenario the weirder it becomes.
@KenWalkerQB @tbluvoter I don’t have a WaPo subscription and I was able to read it. The WaPo Help section on it is vague about it, but it does mention “multiple recipients for up to 14 days.” If we find another person who can say the same, we’ll know for sure.

"With its 60 million olive trees, Puglia used to produce up to 50% of Italy's olive oil, but in just a few years, Xylella infected and killed 21 million trees, many of which were several centuries old...
"...It is an unprecedented ecological, environmental disaster."

--Oh and Florida banning (banning!) AP African American history ought to be enough of a mask off moment to wake up anyone who thought this was about some kind of historically unstable, politically charged courses. This is the got dammed college board and all the most moderate of moderate and boring voices in history.
So cannon you could put balls in it and sink a ship.
I can only assume they want young people to learn literal myths and legends. Chopped cherry trees and all instead.

@marathon@mastodon.online @ErikJonker yes, the whole US government is always talking about this, how jealous we are of Russia. Every employee knows it, our monthly hate meetings with our Anglo conspirators are mandatory of course. But how could we trick Russia into acting exactly like it has chosen to for hundreds of years? HOW? Then it hit us— by NOT accepting a neighbor into a defensive alliance, but waiting for Russia to decide we might, someday, anyway! A foolproof plan!
@marathon@mastodon.online @nafnlaus I love history! Ooh, do Wagner Group next!
@marathon@mastodon.online YEAH, imagine if the Russians tried to put a nuclear base in Cuba threatening the US! We surely would take that as justification to go conquering and bombing and raping just as… wait, hold up, I’m being handed some notes here, let’s see… oh um, folks, gosh, apparently that DID actually happen during the height of the Cold War and we… um… we did not react that way. It looks here like, hmm, there was no war at all? It was worked out peacefully? Nahhh, can’t be right.
@richardrathe @Bwheatnyc hmm, yeah, there’s more to this story. How a 6 y/o special needs child got a “safely secured” gun all on his own remains unanswered, but someone KNEW something was up:

@DemocracyMatters @me@catgirl.is why do I love neoliberals and YIMBYs so much when they unironically believe this. No, I’m not looking to fight, I’m sure y’all are awesome, but grrl I wouldn’t give up my car if you traded me my own personal jet pack.
@rskurat @sethcotlar do people actually believe that unironically? I thought that was just one of those glib, excusably cheesy social niceties for the professional world, useful in various circumstances like sucking up to the person stealing your idea or smoothing over slight differences in opinion with a round of communal back-patting.
@trinsec sounds nice! I had to *severely* edit my whine about Virginia from earlier today because I tried to add links that took too much space; wonder if it would’ve worked better on desktop? But this one prompting me to finally look into how to use Tinyurl was a good thing anyway.
@trinsec no, it means this (see pic below) put the character count a bit in the negative for Mastodon’s 500 so I couldn’t post it that way.

The WaPo gift link ate the entire character count of Mastodon! Let’s try TinyURL:
Unpaywalled #uspolitics article (link is long, in comments) about how this #Biden proposal aligns the interest of #labor and #immigrants , instead of allowing #exploitative businesses to pit them against each other by cultivating a disposable pool of black market humans to distort the #employment market and dispense with any need to provide #safe and #humane working conditions. But now:
@sambowne it’s articles like these that unfortunately bring home to me the difference between a scientist and just a fangirl. 😔 It took me three successively slower reads to process the gist of that, and I suspect I’m still missing some implications. Worth it, though!
