Has anybody forked #Moshidon and removed the instance blocklist? Would start using that app again in a heartbeat if the application was truly free.

After the protests, there are no American kings. Shocking success.

Not to mention how tone deaf the "No Kings" protest is with the political motivated murder in Minnesota.
Seeing sign walkers chanting together, "This is what Democracy looks like!"
And I think that's where both sides can agree. This is what democracy looks like.
The president was democratically elected with an electoral college win, so he's the president, doing what he people voted for him to do.
And people who don't like the result of an election can chant phrases freely.
You know we have no king, because if we did these protests wouldn't be allowed.
I can't keep track. Are we at "no one is above the law" or "defund law enforcement"? The double think is hard to keep track of.

Trump administration sues Colorado and Denver, alleging blame for Aurora apartment chaos
Justice Department attorneys argue Colorado’s “sanctuary policies” allowed the Tren de Aragua gang members to seize control of The Edge of Lowry in Aurora. Police and city officials have repeatedly disputed the characterization.

@karnage @cimarron @antonionpellegrini @Sven @Debradelai @DawnM @Eiualumni @masterblaster @Gmajv @saramangas @YoungBlood sorry but wrong. Did Jesus say Peter is a pope? Nope. Just like there is no Christmas or Easter in the Bible

#brave and #innovative is Larry David and the former newspaper The New York Times, to call Trump Hitler.
Finished my paper nonfiction, The Heritage of Anglican Theology by J I Packer.
Started I Told Me So: Self-Deception and the Christian Life by Gregg A. Ten Elshof
Finished my audio book, War in Heaven by Charles Williams, and started his next: Many Dimensions
Still in the midst of my paper fiction book...
1% increase over the previous day, for 90 days...
100 push ups daily becomes 245 push ups daily.
3 mile daily run becomes 7.35 miles daily.
10,000 daily steps becomes... wow, 24,486 daily steps.
All by just a daily increase of 1%.
I'm not measuring results, I'm not setting a specific goal, I'm trying to focus on establishing a system and a trajectory, with a few ideas from Atomic Habits. And I'm not beating myself up when I miss a run or a whole day for being too busy with work, relationships, or not feeling well. Just trying to keep moving forward.
