@ScottSoCal @GottaLaff As a teacher, I see his attack on education as shameful. He is taking the STUDENTS' RIGHTS to free and fair education. I don't even know what he means by CLASSICAL ED? It's truly a step back and the people of Florida need to understand the attack. He wants to disband the teachers union. So dangerous! Parents don't have Rights in FL. He is narrowing the parental rights by allowing singular challenges to ed. One parent makes the choice for a while school body? Unamerican
@ScottSoCal One of the themes of his campaign was "speak whatever language you want, we're all Ukrainians." His opponent was... not quite as bad as Trump, but like the "ENGLISH ONLY!!!' cretins we have here. If you're in SoCal you can imagine the kind of assholery it would take to ban Spanish or tell people who grew up speaking Spanish that they're not real Americans. Not a perfect analogy but it's a heated issue there. Less so now as many people have stopped speaking russian of their own accord.
@ScottSoCal my thinking is defined by "leaps in logic"! I've always collected knowledge, all different kinds of facts about how things work, bits and pieces from every field and while I can't remember when this has lead to me solving a problem, I have a bad memory I just know it's happened in the past, the most recent "leap" I can recall is thinking about light sabers and "accidentally" working out why the basic/neutral guard for a two handed blade is what it is from like a physics perspective.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A YEAR I BOTH SAT IN THE FLOOR
AND GOT UP OFF THE FLOOR WITHOUT ASSISTANCE!
APPLAUSE PLEASE!
"Missionaries left trail of abuse, but leaders stayed quiet"
"Abused by missionaries"
"Baptist leaders stayed quiet after trail of abuse"
Who is a risk to children, by case law, by investigation, by thousands of victims, by thousands and thousands of victims?
It is the people in power in churches, synagogues and offices, abusing those they have power over.
Far right christian nationalists plan to rape America.
@ScottSoCal Yes, russian is his first language, as is overwhelmingly common in his hometown. Olena also grew up speaking russian.
He knew Ukrainian (it's required in schools and he traveled a lot) but he didn't speak it regularly until 2019. During his campaign he had a tutor and instructed his staff to only speak Ukrainian around him.
In his early speeches it does sound kind of stilted compared to the way he speaks now.
'Laughing fool' Trump was a joke to foreign leaders β according to his own former national security adviser https://www.rawstory.com/john-bolton-trump-2660273052/
President Biden cites facts that white supremacy terror is Americaβs greatest domestic security threatβand MAGAs lose their minds.
Hereβs the thing.
Iβm Muslim. I donβt feel attacked when people condemn the Taliban because Taliban do not represent Muslims and I proudly take the lead in condemning Taliban terrorism.
If youβre MAGA white and feel personally attacked when Biden condemns white supremacy terrorβyou are absolutely telling on yourself.
On June 2nd this project will be out raise awareness to violence against non-binary and transgender people in the UK and the harmful decisions made against our communities by the government. Funded by over a 100 awsome people here on Mastodon who supported this project through my Etsy shop, Patreon and Bandcamp. This is an independent production and I hope this reaches as many more people as it possibly can! Trailer:

6 Hypersonics Destroyed!
6 Russian Kinzhal rockets were shot down by Ukrainian air defense last night. Once more, the world saw that Russian weapons are archaic and aren't able to get through modern air defense systems.

@ScottSoCal See? Easy peasy.
Biden to hold second meeting with lawmakers on raising debt ceiling https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2023/05/16/biden-holds-second-meeting-with-congressional-lawmakers-on-raising-debt-ceiling/6871684236815/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
#introduction I live in the suburbs. I have planted berry bushes. The berries attracted turkeys. The turkeys dug up a portion of my neighbor's lawn to build a dust wallow. This situation amuses me far more than the neighbor. Someone else nearby has a rooster. I hope nobody narks on the rooster owners, because I kind of like the little guy. I don't talk much about how I get paid, because the stuff I'm allowed to talk about is really kind of dull.
@ScottSoCal @nafnlaus I listen to a lot of russian (exclusively from pre-2019 Zelenskyy and people he's talking to) and I'm worried I'll mix up the two. There's a lot of overlap but enough distinct words that I need to remember which goes with which language. (I know Ukrainians can understand it, but I want to be respectful.)
It's really hard to take Arnold Schwarzenegger seriously because he sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger and my brain just starts thinking about kindergarten cop.
