Are gasoline prices down under Trump? Earlier in his commends at the White House, President Donald Trump claimed that gasoline prices are down since he took office. BBC Verify recently looked into this claim. They found that the average price for "regular" gas - or petrol - currently $3.16, external, according to data by the American Association (AAA). That's actually slightly up from $3.125, external the day Trump entered office. Trump has also said that gas prices "just hit $1.98 in a lot of states” - a claim he has made several times recently. We cannot find any evidence of these prices. No state has an average gas price lower than $2.67, according to AAA. The BBC has asked the White House for more information about these claims.

I never had to figure out which facility would take my 90yo Mom (see 🧵). She ended up in hospice for a week and died in today’s early morning hours. She is reunited with Dad, who died 4/17/24. She has missed him so very much. I imagine her now, smiling and joking like she used to, happy once more.

It’s a place called June Farms in West Sand Lake, NY. You can walk around the farm, learn about their farm animals, pet baby goats, and see a lot of frog statues! My daughter brought me there for birthday. 🥰

I never unfriend people over politics and then goes on to describe what are political issues (e.g., “do we need a light rail for our city”) and what are not (e.g., “are gay people human beings”). At the bottom it says under Political Issues, “I don’t unfriend people over stuff like this” and at the bottom of the Not Political Issues it says “I unfriend people over stuff like this.”

Excellent rebuttal to the Jeff Bezos directive on what the @washingtonpost.com will publish on its @postopinions.bsky.social.

Thinking About… Unfreedom at The Washington Post How an editorial line fosters authoritarianism Timothy Snyder Today at 12:05 pm On February 26th the Washington Post announced a new editorial line that refers to freedom while restraining it. I submitted a proposal to them on the question of what it would meant to support freedom in a newspaper. I have waited two weeks for a response. I would still happily write that opinion piece! In the essay below, I explain how the Post's editorial line is nonsensical and authoritarian. ••• Jeff Bezos, who owns Washington Post, has announced its editorial line: "We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets."

They just don’t care. From the article:
Far as I know, Musk has not apologized for a single incorrect fact that he has spouted over the past month; he’s hardly even acknowledged being wrong. The closest he came was after the media thoroughly debunked one of his more laughable claims—that the U.S. has spent $50 million for condoms for Hamas (which Trump later upped to $100 million). Confronted with the truth by a reporter during his Oval Office playdate with Trump, Musk said, “Some of the things that I say will be incorrect, and should be corrected.” He showed zero humility, and the reason is clear: Neither Musk nor Trump care whether what they say is true. If it’s corrected later, it doesn’t matter. Did Egypt really receive $6 million for “tourism?” Of course not! Was $59 million really spent to put migrants living in New York City in luxury hotels? You bet your ear it wasn’t. But in a sense, the truth doesn’t matter—because by the time the debunking is done, the damage has been done as well. These “facts” have now been mistaken for real information by those whose narrative it already fits, or who otherwise are gullible enough to believe whatever the U.S. president or the world’s richest man says—which is an unfortunately high number of Americans.

I just googled to see how many recalls Tesla has had. 𝟭𝟱 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲... >𝟱 𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗦!! Tesla is the top offender for recalled cars in 2024 - Model 3s, Model Xs, and Cybertrucks alike.

I never wanted a Tesla. Never admired Musk. But now both nauseate me. Safety means nothing. Only $$$.

Yup, same here.

Everyone thinks of NY as a blue state, right? But look at the results from Nov. My county, fairly wealthy & educated, was blue by 0.2%. On the outskirts, much less wealth and many more Trump supporters. Like you said, they vote against their own best interests. Hard to understand.

That’s a great idea if your state allows it. Not all do, and some have to meet certain requirements to initiate the recall (as I just learned when I looked up how to petition for a recall 😁). My state doesn’t allow them which may be why I’m not as familiar.

Will post a link in the next comment.

Is it a coincidence that, according to most experts, the “slimiest” thing on Earth is a 𝗛𝗔𝗚𝗙𝗜𝗦𝗛 (aka slime eel) which sounds kinda similar to 𝗛𝗘𝗚𝗦𝗘𝗧𝗛, don’t you think? 🤔
One of the slimiest things on Earth is hagfish slime. Hagfish, sometimes called “slime eels,” produce an incredible amount of slime when threatened. This slime is made up of proteins and mucins that expand in water, creating a super-slippery and sticky substance. The slime is so effective that it can clog the gills of predators, deterring them from attacking. In fact, a single hagfish can produce enough slime to fill a bucket in just minutes! Scientists are even studying hagfish slime for potential uses in materials science, like creating eco-friendly fibers.

Comments were turned off for the poster’s mental well-being. However, I wanted to add that it’s what we do as individuals that defines us. As soon as I download my content from FB and IG, I’ll be doing the same. Even if I’ll miss seeing loved ones’ posts, it’s the right thing for me to do.

Some of Starmer’s comments noted in the article are below. He seems like a smart, reasonable man who isn’t going to bow down to Musk. He’s going to need a lot of support.

No doubt Trump will start chiming in on the lies, too. We all know he’s a good boy who does whatever his sugar daddy says.
The online accusations “crossed a line,” Mr. Starmer said, adding, “Once we lose the anchor that truth matters, in the robust debate that we must have, then we are on a very slippery slope.” “When politicians — and I mean politicians who sat in government for many years — are casual about honesty, decency, truth and the rule of law,” Mr. Starmer said, “calling for inquiries because they want to jump on a bandwagon of the far right, that affects politics, because a robust debate can only be based on the true facts.”

Same! Just blocked this set a bit ago, but they were not the only ones! They were all promoting a “dating” starter pack which was comprised of all only fans accounts. Reported that, too.

According to the National Park Service:

www.nps.gov/articles/bis...
Highlighted text says “During the cold winter season, bison develop thick, woolly coats that help protect them from freezing temperatures and harsh winds. It is said that a bison's winter coat is so thick and provides insulation so effective that when snow accumulates on its coat, it will not melt from the heat of the bison's skin. Their skin also thickens in response to cold temperatures and fatty deposits appear to insulate the animal. This is important because during winter storms, bison will actually turn toward the storm, hunker down, and wait for it to pass. With thick coats and creating a low profile, bison can survive the same storm that would kill many domestic livestock. Bison also have the ability use their large head and massive neck and shoulder muscles as snow plows to forage in snow as deep as four feet!”

I’ve been blocked by quite a few accounts and added to some moderation lists, but this is, by far, the only list that made me laugh out loud. Anyone else on the “𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙥𝙞𝙙, 𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙤𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙡𝙞𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙨” list? 😂😂😂
