3 good things about today

1. Family bowling outing - I have never had a bad time bowling.

2. Kids got some long overdue haircuts.

3. I finally finished the last can of goat milk we bought when we went on lockdown in 2020. We bought it because it has a really long shelf life. I had been drinking in my coffee, and I am glad that’s done.

This is why Meta should never be trusted.

Not only have European regulators found their tracking to be downright illegal, but they also blatantly lie about it too.

Further, if it's not already obvious to you, Meta sends its tracking data to the NSA.

If Meta does any of these shenanigans when they join the Fediverse, then they absolutely should be Fediblocked.

"Here’s how I think about it when explaining it to my dad. Budgets have gone up. Profits have gone up. Writers’ pay has gone down. This is a huge problem. It has to be fixed."

There’s not “liberal” and “conservative” news. There’s the news, based as close as can get on fact and truth, and then there’s propaganda, filled with lies and distortions.

Fox is the latter.

Instead of going after violent white nationalists, insurrectionists, tax cheats, polluters, & union busters, MAGA Republicans want to bully & disenfranchise trans people, who hurt no one & take nothing from society. It’s nasty & most of America knows it.
