Did you have a point relevant to UPF? The fact that my post above had maybe 9 upvotes and 12 downvotes does show that some folks found it helpful. In the early days of the publicly-available internet, folks tried to help each other. Now the world is on the edge of WWIII and folks are beating folks down where they think they can. I kinda miss the old internet. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Hilarious? Folks don't usually downvote things that make them laugh. It was my belief that putting a link up as a follow up to his question was helpful.
Not quite the same topic, but certainly related, Hidden history of corporations in the U.S.
I was all ready for outrage, but I think maybe they got this one right. Equality under the law should mean that the top of a pyramid is treated the same as the bottom.
I'm vaguely recalling a Jim Carry line from Bruce Almighty, "Smite them oh mighty smiter!"
I'm guessing it's image manipulation, but he might actually have a eye pointing disorder. hehe
China seems to be succeeding in EV vehicles, not just cars, airplanes too. I'm sorta pining for the days when we were talking about a North America Union. These days its all about protectionism and wars. :(
I don't even know what an "ultra processed food" •IS•.
It looks like a mafia. Thumb your nose at a subpoena? Legislators will come to your aid.
Meanwhile, Dr. Vivek Murthy says there's an epidemic of gun violence and he has a list of suggestions to be applied to civilians.
If we have a world war, would they tell us?

Regardless of how you may feel about LGBT folks, I find the idea of witholding medical care to transgender people curious in light of the fact the U.S. still does not have single-payer healthcare or Medicare for All. There does appear an element of scapegoatism in these candidates within a larger pattern of rationing of healthcare to everyone who is not wealthy.
Haywood Stokes Jr., his father, had previously been mayor of the rural Black Belt town.
Gotta watch out for all those Martial Arts experts! 🤣
In this decision, which is linked in the first paragraph of the article, it says a public school must be nonsectarian.
There are more people in the world than ever before and we have folks writing news stories telling us there's a crisis building and that we need to have more kids?
They're farming us like ranch animals.
...“It’s very difficult to get evidence to show abuse of children."
Ain't that the truth.
I note the article doesn't name the school. My thought process that led to this was on the first reading I noted it said it was a charter school. Charter schools were sold by our legislatures as being hybrid public-private schools that lacked religion.
I think this charter school is crossing some lines that were promised wouldn't be crossed when charter schools were approved by legislatures. Those kids need to find a more accepting environment, they're currently being harmed.
Perhaps Satan needs to be destigmatized? Perhaps later this year for the holiday season I'll send Satan-inspired cards. Right now it's just a thought and not a promise. Maybe the Satanic Temple should get into the greeting card biz?
In the mean time, the parents should pull their kids right out of that malicious charter school.
This article provides more context to Trump's recent statement that he would defund schools that require vaccinations. Nevermind that vaccinations basically brought COVID under (better) control.
When it first began, Trump underestimated COVID and spun it as under control.
