I don't always walk around, but when I do, it's without legs

If we had a proper media, the newscycle stops at "AI leads US to kill 100s of Iranian schoolchildren" and doesnt move on until accountability.

Yup. Astrophotography is another level of challenging now.

I wonder what happened the last time the government limited Bostonians access to their favorite drink.

😂

Boxing Helena?

Yeah, this.

I follow people because I like their content, not because I'm just collecting followers. What is it, some kind of self-centered quest for validation or self worth? "WHY WON'T YOU LOVE ME??"

The story of Rome's founding concerned foundling twins who were suckled by a she-wolf. But how wide-spread was the practice of child exposure in ancient Rome, and what happened to the babies? Read about it in my latest article. www.melaniermeadors.com/blog/child-a...

I can't believe anyone can be this ignorant.

I love intrigues, factions, and twisty complications in my reading, and in the roleplaying games I run. I like it far less in my real life.

The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:

everybody stay clear on the fact

that several fascist autocrats

are using the needless death of innocent human beings

as a power grab / attempt to manipulate public opinion

when their popularity is low.

Oh, I might be there! ($$ dependent)

Wow...

After Renee Good was killed, career FBI agents were ordered to stand down from investigating her killing.

Why?

Kash Patel wanted to falsely spin Renee Good as a threat to law enforcement.

Kash Patel and other Justice Department officials shut down a civil rights investigation into Renee Good’s killing.

Unacceptable.

The truth must come out.

BREAKING: Sens. WHITEHOUSE, DURBIN demand investigation of Justice Department decision to block civil rights probe into shooting of Renee Good.

A well-preserved Roman leather shoe with elaborate cutout patterns. The design features a high ankle and open section

An adorable #Roman shoe, made for a #baby too young to walk. The shoe imitates the footwear of Roman soldiers (caligae). The cut-out design would have shown off the kid’s socks!

The number of fixed-wing aircraft lost in friendly fire incidents today equals the number lost during the entire 20-year span of conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan since 9/11.

I wonder if there's a connection between the lack of any stupid rules of engagement and the US/Israeli missile strikes that killed eighty or ninety schoolchildren 36 hours ago.
