It's the "Democratic" Party, not the "Democrat" Party. We don't call it the "Republic" Party. Whether someone belongs to it or not, have enough maturity to call it by its real name. #USpol #politics

Headline - Vatican repudiates Doctrine of Discovery in response to demands from Indigenous people.
This was a doctrine of the Catholic Church in the 15 century that proclaimed ownership and sovereignty over land passed to Europeans because they "discovered" it.
The statement goes on to say "the documents had been 'manipulated' for political purposes by colonial powers 'to justify immoral acts against Indigenous peoples that were carried out, at times, without opposition from ecclesial authorities.' "
In other words, the Church back then was not in the wrong, being infallible. It was others that mis-used their doctrine. At times (as in usually) without opposition by the Church.
Part of the reason I'm no longer a Catholic.

@ScottSoCal fantastic. well, i'm glad it conditioned itself out of existence and left the components downstream alone :)

Hoping the fediverse can help out: I'm in touch with a Ukranian family in #Toronto who are trying to get their cat (named Milana, in photo) from #Kraków, #Poland to Toronto this spring. They can cover some transport costs but are trying to connect with someone already making the trip. Email milana at hypatia.ca if you can help. Please boost!

I started working on this awhile back (before hospice was announced) and finally finished it. President Carter would be memorable to me no matter what but the fact his home of Plains #Georgia is just down the road makes him even more so.

There's one in every crowd.

I love the look of these chipping sparrows. On looks like it's about to start dancing and the others stare as if they can't believe what they're seeing.

@ScottSoCal yup, that would make perfect sense!

was watching plex late last night, and heard a tremendous KRAK! sound come from the basement. movie stopped playing a few seconds later

checked on the server, and it was dead in the water. here’s why. anyone recognize that component in the PSU? some kind of filter or conditioner? it had a full explosive meltdown, RIFA-style.

i really, really hope this didn’t take out any hard drives or the motherboard with it.

I’m, ‘I got it on VHS’ years old.

@johnglass they have the discretion and it usually favors fascism. Maggie Haberman comes to mind.
