They should shut it down, at least during elections but really just for good would be perfect.

Someone posted the names and email address of every single DOGE employee on Bluesky. I have a copy but am not sure using it for anything at all beyond my own curiosity is probably illegal, including posting it anywhere. I think what they are doing to the US is awful but in years to come, when sanity returns, there will be a reckoning.

Here is a selection, maybe try some out https://lemmyverse.net/

He made a lot of cheap cuts popular, like trotters, pork shanks, oxtail, shin of beef or brisket and they are now really expensive, and I hate that he did that. But his recipes are ok, simple and mostly tasty.

I think everyone has to start somewhere and if that is heating up beans then that is where their cooking journey starts. Soon there will be cheese on toast, maybe a fried egg or mashed potatoes. Baby steps, everything counts if it ends with a plate of food.

Allow them to be bored, out of it comes creativity. We used to have one day a week without any tech and they build dens in the woods, built a raft for the river and came back soaking wet, they played D&D with pen and paper. You have to give them the freedom to be bored, get filthy, get lost, covered in art stuff. Also, that kid from Mesopotamia probably had chores anytime he looked bored.

I would imagine it would be in something you already have some interest and skill in. Art entirely created by AI is not that great.

This article is kinda incorrect because Colombia didn’t actually back down at all. What happened is that Trump sent the migrants back on a military plane and in shackles. Now deportation flights happen all the time actually, but they are on civilian planes and not in shackles. So all the Colombians asked was to treat the people with decency and not like criminals. Trump ended up sending them on a normal plane ,not in shackles the second time, and Colombia accepted. All Colombia wanted was to stop the stupid performative cruelty.

Depends. Are you a rich, white, straight male? You will be fine and can ignore everything. But if you are any shade of brown, an immigrant or belong to any minority group or are female or have loved ones belonging to anyone of these groups, then you should pay attention as they might genuinely be in danger.

Great-grandma was 103 when she died, she was born in 1899 and saw so many changes in her life. I remember her sitting on the porch smoking her pipe and telling me of her life. Even when she was very old she still took delight in so many things. Her favorite in the whole world was her television. As a teenager, she would sneak of to watch movies at the local cinema, that was just a room with a bunch of chairs set up. So when televisions came out she was over the moon. My grandmas both lived to 100, grandma died in March this year. I doubt I will live that long what with plastic in our bodies and brains.

What country are you in?

So if we want to stay healthy,we need to go back to leeches and bloodletting. I hate this timeline.

Seems like Netanyahu wants to flatten every last bit of Gaza before it kicks in.

I like the story of Prometheus. He is one of the few Gods who cared at all. I dislike any involving Zeus and his shenanigans with women, mostly because of a book of Greek myths I was given when I was 6. In it, it tells of him kidnapping various women and they ending up with his offspring and his wife’s ire.All illustrated with graphic classical paintings.

I was terrified for months that if I as much as looked at a bull or swan wrong he could come and get me. I had nightmares, and then the nightmares got the stories more mixed up in my head. It got better eventually but left me with a very personal dislike of Zeus.
