imagine if every time you tried to go to a broken link in your browser, the computer made up a fake version of the website it thought you wanted instead of giving a 404, and it still charged your credit card when you tried to buy things on it that didn’t exist

As a child protection professional, I can tell you the death penalty is NOT an awesome solution to child sexual abuse. Most children are abused by family members; they will not report if their family members will die as a result.

This is your regular reminder that the idea that Christianity is a thing uniform beliefs that everyone within “Western Civilization” believed and agreed on is a fiction that just ignores centuries of Christians killing each other and fighting literal wars over their different beliefs.
The Rubio speech really is appalling, and if you haven’t read it yet, you should.

This is somewhat more of an old-fashioned ICE ruse. Arguably this is a sign of the agency going back to more standard “targeted enforcement” tactics designed to be not as disruptive as the more recent aggro-style arrests. Watch for more like this to come.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

It was -16C at the lake this morning but worth the wait for the sunrise, even with a slight shoulder injury after climbing over the rocks. 😂

when MAGA white supremacists like Carl whinge abt passing of 1965 Hart-Celler Immigration Act they are complaining that it overturned 1924 Johnson-Reed Act, a law limiting immigration to people from Northern Europe, which was drafted by eugenicist Rep. Albert Johnson, with BIG support from the Klan

Tiny, delicate oak-pin #fungus (Cudoniella acicularis). Not true mushroom despite shape! Produces spores in asci or 'sacs' within 'pinhead', not from gills under 'umbrella'. Widespread in Britain but not common (or maybe just underrecorded). This one on rotting oak stump in Old Wood LWS, Shropshire.

I found the year’s first Pipevine swallowtail!!
Sometimes hope is found in something as small as a butterfly.
When everything feels heavy, I walk along the creek near home. The sound of water over rocks, sighting fresh blooms, the call of birds, remind me that the world still hums with quiet life.

I’m tired of the ignorance of voters saying “idk what the big deal is about requiring id to vote”🤦🏽♀️ ppl take a civics class & understand the 24th Amendment makes poll taxes ILLEGAL! Ah yes that word illegal. You can’t make ppl PAY for a document to vote… it violates the constitution, so no SAVE Act!

"Terrorism", in our increasingly warped & perhaps fatally corrupt-at-heart civic religion, is like a black magic incantation. But the more they cast that spell, the weaker it becomes. Not fast enough though?
