"This month, an elementary school in St. Petersburg, Fla., stopped showing a 1998 Disney movie about Ruby Bridges...

In this case, a single objecting parent is apparently enough to have a lesson about our very recent history questioned or even banned.

Remember: Bridges isn’t some ancient figure in a dusty textbook, she’s alive and well today. She’s 12 years younger than my own mother."

This day in history. 1972. The Royal Canadian Navy issued its last daily rum ration and my friend Moose and I dropped out of Sea Cadets.

Status report. I'm seeing more masks. It had gotten to pretty much zero except for the pharmacy workers but today surprised me. Not "a lot" by a longshot but still noticable.

My theory: People have gotten sick (#Covid or #ABC/Anything But Covid) so often that they're tired of it

OR

Friends are sharing with each other the #LongCovid symptoms they're feeling because they've been sick so many times.

I don't really care the reason why, but I hope the trend continues.

Speaking of telephony experience, I just used a kick meter to estimate the amount of cat 6 cable left in a box.

TDRs are for the weak.

I'm so happy for @TexasObserver I'm actually crying. Please support this important independent paper.

You know what? I don't give two fucks if Trump becomes a martyr. NO ONE is above the law.

Disney outsmarts DeSantis.

“Ahead of an expected state takeover, the Walt Disney Co. quietly pushed through the pact and restrictive covenants that would tie the hands of future board members for decades”

@AchesAndPains @Bette @StillIRise1963 It’s like the old saying about not bringing a knife to a gun fight.

Like, clearly that’s a dumb move, is the meaning.

Yet here the principals charged with ensuring the safety of people in their school can’t even offer knives so it’s bringing mini baseball bats and river rocks to a gun fight instead.

The whole situation, as every country outside the U.S. knows, is literal insanity.

I was living in Germany when the film 'Schindler's List' came out and it was impossible to get tickets at first because the ministry of education mandated that all school children had to go and see it so the theaters were packed.

Go figure.

i strive to be like this person every day

We never really change, do we? I used to date people who I knew would break my heart. Now, I pet the cat even though I know she’s going to get her fill and move just out of arm’s reach.

Rut-roh!

While you were paying through the nose at the gas pump, Big Oil companies were using the cover of inflation to jack up prices and line their pockets.

BP’s CEO recently boasted that in 2022 his company had its “lowest production cost in 16 years.”

February 24, 2011 – The European Space Agency’s “Johannes Kepler” Automated Transfer Vehicle-2 seems quite small against the blackness of space as it approaches the ISS.

Over the past five years, only three mass shooters out of 2840+ were transgender. Firearms are the leading cause of death for children in the US.

The right-wing is using transphobia as a distraction from their weird fetishized obsession with guns.

Don't let their hate-filled rhetoric to go unchecked.
