@timkmak the USA has no problem promising anything to people who may help them- the biggest problem they have is that they don’t follow through with their promises. And it’s basically an “OOPs- someone above me won’t let it happen”. Thy don’t own it.

Ugh I just got an email from my kids school about her upcoming “Intro to AI” lessons she’ll be getting.@benbrown you’re expecting the education system to be this updated? It would be nice but…..

Two days to go until We're Just Having Fun is released, so I thought it was time you heard the title track.@tinachristianmusic very good beat and catchy lyrics, best of luck with the release!

At our city council meeting and the Christofascists are lobbying for making "In God We Trust" city policy. -

In Which I Am Apparently A Child...@gmh so they are insisting that they have more information about me than they actually need to verify my age. All these documents have potential to access multiple sources of data- driving records, credit history, travel records- for example. Will state or provincial ID cards work?

@efoltin @georgetakei are those rights guaranteed to you in the constitution?@efoltin @crazyeddie @passwordsarehard4 @georgetakei not at all but where I live voting requires some form of government ID or the voters card they send, mail in requires a second signature. I am very much against the proposed changes and see them as voter suppression.

no. i had a tentative phone "date" this evening.@imlikethecheese looking for perfect is what we all do. Being able to identify good enough is what we all need. Living with the difference is what a relationship is. IMHO

Trump, Putin, Netanyahu — I’m so tired of these rich, old, murderous men who cling to power and make the world suffer, desperately trying to escape justice.@alanthecampbell @Strandjunker perhaps that’s because a better place is in fact wanting them and taking them early so their ‘thoughts’ are not spoiled by over exposure to the crap of the world. It would be nice. And even nicer if we were chosen to join them.

no. i had a tentative phone "date" this evening.@imlikethecheese imho-do we demonstrate perfection ourselves or only our interpretation of it- do we expect perfection from others or only that they meet our interpretation of it? When trying to establish a relationship expect a few missteps in the process. But none of this is my business.

@efoltin @georgetakei are those rights guaranteed to you in the constitution?@crazyeddie @efoltin @passwordsarehard4 @georgetakei voting should require some form of ID the type and extent is what is being changed and in such a way as to - make any woman who has taken her husband’s name (and doesn’t have a birth certificate) unable to vote
- to insist that only federal identification certificates (passport) will be accepted -
We treat housing like a speculative stock market, then act surprised when ordinary people can't afford a place to live.@phocks investors, developers and speculators all get to choose their profits on any housing project- individuals don’t.

As Israel plans on occupying southern Lebanon and replicating its Gaza onslaught, Lebanese society remains deeply divided.@mondoweiss so to speak and act against this action of a government- is this the same as being against the Jewish religion? No, jet this is how the Jewish state will frame it.

Every time you see some anonymous hasbara troll bot post an “antizionism” meme, reply with this video:@aral appreciated the fact that it clarified the terms anti-Zionism and anti-Semitic. Not having an issue with the Jewish religion doesn’t mean you have to support the political agenda of the Jewish state. Those who insist these two terms are ‘ identical’ are conflating their beliefs to undermine the reality and to deny your accurate point.

We went from "Trump doesn't start wars" to "send your kids to die for oil reserves" pretty fast.@fromjason what are people doing to stop these abuses? War, sexual abuse, sex traffickers etc. The ‘siting out’ of an election is ludicrous! Get actively involved too many people put it onto others to do what is right! Elections require an informed and active electorate.

When I read articles about how DST is having all these deleterious effects (either from making the change or from sticking with DST year round) I think it shows a mich deeper sickness with our society.@integral_toast to appease everyone why not just change the clock by half an hour and leave it there, no major change of daylight for us to live in.

Spoke with someone at the VA Clinic this morning whose husband is in the National Guard is has been placed on standby for possible activation.@DaveMWilburn @tinker interesting line- I was at two ‘christian services’ in Florida a while back and the hymns were all emotional but never really reflected what Christ did so much as how they were to respond to the words.
