@EthicalProfessor I wonder how many of the ~53 million Catholics in the US are paying attention.

@astro_jcm@mastodon.online Ah, yes. I recall an American military family living off base getting in trouble with a German neighbor because a child was sick with vomiting & diarrhea and they flushed the toilet too many times at night. 🤷♀️

Being a distrustful person, I suspect some corporation proposed this legislation so workers wouldn't become aware of any radiation they were exposed to on the job.

@tzimmer_history I'm sure you're correct, but I will continue to say "it's a distraction from Epstein" because it irritates them so much & because it makes even MAGAs think about the shame of supporting a pedophile.

@Tarnport@mastodon.green Does sticking balloons in your shirt really qualify as crossdressing? Seriously, the guys I've known who want a bit of role playing put in more effort.

Yes, I'm waiting to see if the SAVE Act will force me to get a legal name change so I can vote- because that will be easier than trying to get a copy of my marriage cert "with applied seal" from the small town in Germany where I got married. Ex is deceased.

@wdlindsy@toad.social He's a weirdo, and he's going to be surprised to learn how many MAGAs were personally offended when he called UFOs "demons."

@markmccaughrean @saarmuller The carpenter bees in my area look very much like large bumblebees. They throng my deck but quickly discover it's built from treated lumber. Several fallen trees on my land are riddled with their holes.

This is exactly what all MAGAts need to hear. The man you adore thinks you're a fool.

@jaykuo In 2025 I looked up demographic stats for the Armed Forces. About 25% were POC, about 17% were women. Wonder if those stats have changed. I also wonder it the educational level of new enlistees has changed.

Türkiye Today says he used the phrase sarcastically, "likely angering Muslims worldwide." How will Truth Social users interpret it? How many can recognise sarcasm if they don't hear it spoken?

@0x575446@mastodon.social It was plenty warm in Egypt, so our hearths were not the lure. More likely the rodents we attracted with our stores of grain & trash middens.

@falcennial@mastodon.social Motion seconded! Let AI do the bean-counting & sortimg tasks. (And I'm sure some person in medicine will chime in with an exception for even that.)

@rvaweather I'm seeing lowest temp for Fredericksburg-Spotsy area as 41F in the wee hours. Still reason to cover young plants.

@josh0 @futurebird I had a big polydactyl cat who lost his pouch-fanging habit after he ripped into some Thai curry.

@samlitzinger@journa.host The first reports I read stated he was at Disney with a friend who had a child. At some point he held the "wand" for her. Personally, I don't care if he wears a tutu, I just want the Senate to stay in session.

@BrianJopek@mastodon.world I have the same type of morning- a few pets & snuggles while my arthritis informs me what kind of med I will need.

@benlockwood Who's going to dig out all the uranium, etc. we buried in previous bomb strikes? If I were in a military engineering unit I'd decline to re-up.
Is anyone else reminded of the Star Trek silicon monster that was protecting its eggs from miners?

@bruces More of a kitchen knife fan myself (Laguiole, Zwilling) but those damascene blades with antler handles are gorgeous & have many uses. But if you want to cut rope, get a cheap kitchen shears!

How are we going to interdict every ship that paid a toll to Iran? Is the US surveilling every shipping company's finances so we can tell who transferred funds to Iran? Or does he think Iranians in a small boat came out & passed the hat around the tanker's crew?

@carnage4life@mas.to I wonder what a Jessica Simpson presidency would look like. When she asked if Chicken of the Sea tuan was fish or chicken, at least she didn't make a declaration based on her ignorance!

@katyswain@mastodon.social I know somebody who uses the term "confused." I assume she picked up the term from Fox.

@tinjar Are you sure about this habitable empty land? No First Nations claims on it? Not at risk from forest fires?

@PhilSalkie@mindly.social I've been hearing reports about how hailstones are getting larger due to climate conditions. I wonder if wind turbines are better able to survive strikes by softball-sized clumps of ice than solar panels or oil & gas power plants.

@samlitzinger@journa.host They should rake off the algae and use it ti fertilise the mall.

@jaykuo@universeodon.com I predict they'll make it harder to get out of the armed forces, too, or hand out lots of dishonoralbe discharges.
Replying to
@palin@mastodon.social I cannot agree. I think they should pull back to the 1948 borders and hopefully elect a much less extreme government.

Don't forget the AWACS. Unclear how many were destroyed or damaged, but that's at least 500 million each.
#Nutella #chocolate This just one of many DIY recipes for a nutella-like spread. All the alternatives are better for the planet than a big glob of palm oil.
