β€œYou always told me it takes time. It has taken my father’s time, my mother’s time, my uncle’s time, my brothers’ and my sisters’ time, my nieces’ and my nephews’ time. How much time do you want for your β€˜progress’?” β€”James Baldwin

My weekend is off to a rocky start. I got home and hubs had bought a new front door handle, and it's my job to fix/replace things. But now the new door handle is installed, and we're watching Doctor Crusher in some kind of trouble.
Tomorrow we're driving down to LA to visit a museum he wants to tour.

Five fighters from the Azov Kharkiv and two fighters from Dozor engaged in a night battle near Bakhmut with Wagnerites. The battle lasted for three hours, resulting in the death of 35 mercenaries, after which the enemy retreated to their original position.

Seven men held off an unknown number of human animals and killed 35.

If you love someone, set them free.
And, seriously what kind of sicko are you that you were holding them captive to begin with? Who taught you that was love?

Not me crying out of happiness because kind people on Mastodon made it possible for me to start a small business out of my jewellery making hobby that then also helps me in new art production πŸ₯Ί

The hell is wrong with some people? Don't come flying into my replies to lecture me about nonsense. "Remember all the times..." No, I don't, because I don't have the slightest clue who tf this is. Also, I've been criticizing NYT for years. Between this and the person who freaked tf out in my replies telling me I need to "listen to actual trans people" or whatever (I. Am. Trans. WTF), some of you are not helping.

Probably wouldn't, assuming the preliminary reports are true that say the initial fire was caused by a defective brake on one of the cars.

I’m seeing a bunch of weirdness from the #GOP today blaming the Biden Administration for the train derailment in Ohio. Did some research and found out that Obama had regulations on trains carrying hazardous materials to have advanced braking systems which #Trump undid once he took office. So it’s kind of weird to hear #Republicans blame Biden when in reality if Trump had kept Obama’s regulations in place, this #Ohio #trainderailment might not have happened….

You'd almost think that the algorithm that has been replacing all those haphazardly fired content moderation crews has no idea of music and iconic bands.
Just like #MadElon has no idea of the concepts of responsibility and accountability. Or of the concept that there can be no true freedom without responsibility.
He's essentially promoting a very simplified and vulgar kind of libertarianism.

But just making them fire the children doesn't fix the basic problem.
I got my first job at 12, and half my paychecks went to my parents, to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table. The other half I had to save up, because I bought my own school clothes and supplies. The basic problem was and is poverty, and jobs that don't pay a living wage so children have to work, to help keep their families together.
Of course preventing poverty isn't high on the GQP task list, either.

The Labor Department found 102 children working hazardous overnight jobs cleaning slaughterhouses in 8 states

In response, House Republicans will be creating a special committee on Hunter Bidenβ€˜s penis
