I have a CGI picture of one of them, next to a human male, for perspective. The file is called "GiantMurderChicken.jpg"

And that's after they negotiate for property and business tax breaks, because they're going to bring SO MUCH business into town!
Every #Walmart in the United States of America cost its community on average a million dollars per annum in subsidies for its workers since they can't pay them enough.
It's time to forget about shaming Elon Musk. The whole point of his vile attack on Fauci is to Trigger The Libs. Shaming him only persuades his followers he's "drawing blood." We have to adapt to the reality that he is waging right wing information warfare.

"People want to believe that the Trump NFTs are a jump-the-shark moment. And that would be great. I'd like it to be the case. But is this any more embarrassing or self-abasing that Trump U, or Trump Steaks, or the Official Trump Card?" https://thetriad.thebulwark.com/p/about-the-trump-nfts

As an Army Veteran, this is exactly what stumps me. If we want/need our military members to be able to protect our nation at the drop of a hat, as I do, then we MUST protect them just as we protect ourselves against communicable diseases/viruses and such. To be against COVID vaccinations is reckless & seems to play into the hands of our enemies abroad & perhaps at home, and that may be the ultimate purpose for Republicans. If so, that is contrary to America's safety! Vax UP! Mask up!
BBC reports:
Earlier on today, EU commissioner Vera Jourova threatened Twitter with sanctions under Europe's new Digital Services Act which she said requires "the respect of media freedom and fundament rights".
"Elon Musk should be aware of that. There are red lines. And sanctions, soon," she added.

Children need a parent or parents who love them, take care of them, encourage and support them, and check under the bed for monsters, as needed.
"Children need a mother": A common xenophobic statement directed at me & our 2-dad family.
I'm a pediatrician. I know the research. Many kids don't have a mother for a range of reasons & thrive. I have 2 healthy, happy kids.
Stop perpetuating false narratives that hurt kids.

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
