Turns out First They Came poem in the original German lists Communists as the Nazis first targets. Most US english translations I see skip those lines entirely. Can only assume it’s because we (🇺🇸) agree with the Nazis on that.
Says a lot.
losing a war feels way better than i always imagined it would
huge fan of both, really. always have been. 🌙 🌍 ♥️
(April 6, 2026) – Earth sets at 6:41 p.m. EDT, April 6, 2026, over the Moon’s curved limb in this photo captured by the Artemis II crew during their journey around the far side of the Moon. Orientale basin is perched on the edge of the visible lunar surface. Hertzsprung Basin appears as two subtle concentric rings, which are interrupted by Vavilov, a younger crater superimposed over the older structure. The lines of indentations are secondary crater chains formed by ejecta from the massive impact that created Orientale. The dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime. On Earth’s day side, swirling clouds are visible over the Australia and Oceania region.
So, anyway:
How about that Moon?!
(The Earth isn’t bad either!)
What this shows is that a staggering 63%(!) of people arrested by ICE in Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge (from December through February) had no criminal record at all.
Farmers and construction companies got to have it both ways for a long time - vote GOP and not face any consequences for wage theft, employing people illegally, unsafe working conditions, etc. They absolutely knew what they were doing. They're probably feeling a little surprised at the moment...
seems like an important piece of info for anyone using the nextdoor app
oh my god. seriously?! ack, that app is such a disaster
Right. I'm not trying to get anyone in trouble, but apparently no one has told them this is an abuse of the concept of emergency contact.
thinking of responding "While I appreciate what you're trying to do here, this kind of request is not what emergency contact lists are supposed to be used for."
Like they basically put us on a mailing list?! Stop!
Thank you. I'm being told by other family members that it's not that big of a deal but like... it feels invasive?! To ask for a cute vibe? Please stop.
Not into that. At all. This is similar-ish
Nothing, really? They're like "we're doing this fun little surprise for ______ and - ope! - we need you to do it actually!"
Like, I'm kind of livid?
Can someone please tell me if I'm overreacting here?
Is an organization contacting somebody's emergency contact to ask for a favor an acceptable use of emergency contact information? This feels absolute egregious to me. I'm actually indignant. But I'm willing to be corrected if I'm overreacting.
i will never recover from my “neat, compact mound of white rice”
The thing is people were pleading with Mainers MONTHS ago to find another progressive candidate to support that didn't have a Nazi tattoo and the response was just "lol no."
i will happily make a lot of concessions for fashion i don’t totally love but flip flops with dress pants is a hard line. absolutely the fuck not.
Ah.
Maybe. But when you're producing child predators at this rate, you are no longer worthy of the benefit of the doubt. The purpose of a system is what it does
Will never stop thinking about how as a little kid I asked my mom how many homeless people die because of the heat and she laughed at me and said "people die in the cold, not the heat!" and then I grew up and googled it and it turns out the US just... chose not to count heat deaths. Wonder why
How many people is Maricopa county going to allow to die of exposure and heat related illnesses this year, I wonder?
putting together a tactical team to go and extract jim bob's laptop and hard drive, let me know if you want in
Well I don't have any meta analyses to support this but I suspect it's a blend of both? Holding your kids to high standards but praising their efforts and dedication.
Growing up we never got good grades, extra credit, or a pass for "doing the best we could." We got good grades for *doing the work correctly*
This is a reflection for parents of Millennials
The Middle East is famously a region with no geopolitics.
Credit Scores wasn’t created until 1989
ICE wasn’t created until 2003
Abolish both
i mean, if i don’t have a toaster nearby, yeah lol
Thank you for appreciating and adding to my nerd knowledge. this is amazingggg
perfectly toasted poptart edges are almost unbeatable.
