I lived in a relatively nice apartment that had a problem with the front door closing. I once found a baby mouse in my bag of chips, caught another one by hand because its tail was peaking out from under my shelf, and ended up catching about 15 in total (one actually got in my mouse’s cage).

So, if those are yellowjackets, how do they remove the bread without getting stung? Also why do they like the jalapeño so much?

Some preliminary research: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deportation_of_Americans_from_the_United_States

Several of them on this list received compensation after bringing a case against the government.

While it’s not yet clear how many citizens have been affected by the administration’s attack on immigrant communities, a government report found that between 2015 and 2020, Ice erroneously deported at least 70 US citizens, arrested 674 and detained 121.

It’s trying to communicate something!

Two things:

The controversy reached a disturbing peak on 6 June, when a man slapped a four-month-old baby on the head, claiming he had mistaken the infant for one of the dolls. He is out on bail, and the baby is reportedly doing well.

And:

The wave of controversy appears to have been ridden by politicians on the right: according to the news website UOL, all bills presented in May concerning reborn dolls were proposed by rightwing and far-right lawmakers.

“If a topic is trending, these politicians will propose laws about it even if they make no sense,” said Kalil, who also coordinates a research group about the Brazilian far right.

She highlights the timing: the country’s leading far-right figure, former president Jair Bolsonaro, is now on trial for an attempted coup and, after a prior ruling by the electoral court, is already barred from standing in next year’s elections.

“So there is also an element of grabbing attention and pushing an agenda, especially when the right wing camp is in crisis over Bolsonaro’s trial and no one knows who will emerge as their new leader,” she said.

Hmm… 🤔

Am I the only one who finds these things magical? I love mycology and no one can convince me it’s not somehow related to the fae. (J/k just in case anyone who hates woo woo in their science, but it’s fun to imagine that’s what medieval people probably thought).

The Army said in a press release that the four executives are Shyam Sankar, CTO at Palantir; Andrew Bosworth, CTO at Meta; Kevin Weil, Chief Product Officer of OpenAI; and Bob McGrew, an advisor at Thinking Machines Lab and former Chief Research Officer for OpenAI.

The four men are being commissioned at the high rank of lieutenant colonel as part of a program called Detachment 201: The Army’s Executive Innovation Corps.

Anyone else find this extremely worrying?

2nd grade, the meanest teacher I ever had got mad at me for using a colorful pen to write on my classwork. In front of the class, she told me to “never bring that pen back to school.” This was a new pen that I had just bought - the kind with multiple colors inside and I wanted it for my babysitter’s after school so I could use it on the Spirograph - so I said, “Can’t I just keep it in my backpack? I go to my babysitter’s…” and that’s where she cut me off and proceeded to yell at me in front of the whole class and made me sit out for recess for “talking back”. Since I had “lunch detention”, I had to eat last, but I had never been in big trouble before and I cried the whole recess and, by the time my lunch came I couldn’t eat from crying so they called my mom to talk me into eating.

They are the only instance I know of with an active mutual aid comm.

What’s your dressing of choice?

“If you really care about the nutrition piece of making people healthy, can we talk about how there are not enough grocery stores within walking distance for individuals? Can we talk about the high price of vegetables and eggs?” Plata-Nino said. “If you really care about this issue, look at the systemic root causes.”

That’s socialism.

Do you or your kid throw surprise farties for your wife?

Amazing… I don’t like the defeatist attitude, but it’s definitely what Zuck would say.

MONSTER! IT’S GOT WHAT BABIES CRAVE!

I can see by the way you’re pussyfooting around this, you’re just racist.

but these power tripping fascists will think twice about oppressing a well armed proletariat or feel the wrath a caring community can unleash. Remember these agents are not state level authorities, they’re federal.

And some state government agencies are already fighting back. But, as always, the people have to demand it. Its easy to to kowtow to the wims of the fascist government- just look at a vast majority of the dems in congress- but if you demand this at the state, county, and city level, they are more likely to listen.

And yes, it is your right in most open carry states to stand with a gun on you near a law enforcement officer who is in the process of their duty, as long as the officer does not perceive you as “interfering with their duty”. You could even record them in many states.

What exactly makes you say that?

Then are toads specialized frogs? How does that work?

I was thinking the north west was looking pretty bare too. Some in Montana, but that’s all.
