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.

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.

When yet another cis person proclaims that they're buying the TERF wizard game, I don't bother trying to talk them out of it. I don't take their argument bait or indulge their desire for absolution. I just quietly put them on a mental list of people who can't be trusted.

I can tolerate algebra, maybe even a little calculus.

But geometry is where I draw the line.

It's 17:15 here, the time when parrots typically call to find and gather the rest of their flock. My parrot is dealing with it by barking to the dogs, mixed in with microwave noises, and some falling bomb whistles followed by explosions.
It's not quiet here.

It's 18:15 local and suddenly quiet here.
The kids who were playing outside have obviously been called home for dinner,
