He’ll be “The Unwoke Ginger” before the midterms. Keep your eyes peeled for his “Why I left the woke” video.
Let’s get him a GoFundMe for some training so he doesn’t telegraph the punch so much next time.
A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

@techconnectify.bsky.social Thank you for you hard work on finding decent LED Christmas lights. I pre-ordered some VintaGlo after your video last year and they look perfect. My tree no longer looks like it belongs in the window of a vape shop!

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown.
Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.
My favorite was book two, Albee Dentalcare and the Poppet of Tartar.
Stanhill, Lancashire, 1764. Wear and carpenter James Hargreaves invents the Spinning Jenny, the first practical spinning-frame, to make the tedious task of producing cloth a little bit faster. He doesn't know it yet, but this will destroy the world. Spurred by inventions like his, the industrial revolution will transform everything -- work power, the wealth of nations. Society as we know it began here, and it wasn't great for everyone. But a group of weavers and textile workers saw this future coming. And did their best to prevent it.
"Curse you spinning jenny, you ruined everything!" The standard narrative does that LUDDITES were foolish lunatics who, in fear of technology, decided progress was bad, and started hitting it with sticks. But the truth is entire ways of life were being destroyed. Previously, skilled craftsmen were respected for the time and effort it took to do their work. The entire family usit would form a cottage industry - creating something valuable, and command a decent living. But when a machine can work 10 times faster its owner can charge less for the prodcts- craftsmen couldn't compete and were left out of work almost overnight. And as factories became a fixture of the british landscape, these now unemployed labourers often ended up working the factories that had just destroyed their way of life. Britain was the most prosperous nation in history, factory owners became extremely wealthy and influential. But the people doing the actual work saw almost none of it.
Factory work paid little, since "the machines" did "the real work" human labourers were deemed unimportant and replaceable. FUN FACT!: Factory owners preferred to hire ORPHANS since less people would notice if they were maimed or killed on the job! Now the owners quickly realized the workers might notice they did all the work for almost no pay. If they went on STRIKE or ARGUED FOR HGHER WAGES, this would threaten their tremendous wealth. In 1799, Parliament passed the Combination Act, which made FORMING TRADE UNIONS, COLLECTIVE BARGAINING, AND GOING ON STRIKE ILLEGAL. Organizing against the rich became a crime.
If you were living through it, opposing the industrial revolution wasn't techno-phobia. It was SELF-DEFENSE. The combination act forced unions underground into secret societies. And the greatest secret of all was their leader - Ned Ludd. Ned had been a folk character for years. In one version after being whipped by his master, he smashed two knitting frames in a rage. In more fanciful versions, he then escaped to the Sherwood forest, here he lived among the animals as their king. Some versions specifically call him 'Much Better Than Robin Hood'.
Happy Labor Day!
Today we're bringing you The First Union, as told by HBomberguy (@hbomberguy.bsky.social) and illustrated by Skutch (@skutchdraws.bsky.social) It's the dawn of the industrial revolution, and of the way many of us work...
Have you ever heard of the term "Luddite" from an elder?
@joshruben.bsky.social stoked to see Heart Eyes on Netflix! Time to let everyone I know with a Netflix subscription they need to watch it!

Something spicy & delicious as a taco has gotten under Trumplestiltkin's thin tangerine skin. Seems the master of mean, juvenile nicknames can dish them out but when directed towards him, he can't take it, angrily calling it "nasty."🤣
Good to know. (you know what to do!)

Anyone else developing a craving for TACO? 🐔

Let time prove me wrong or right.
When it comes to people with autism, particularly children, RFK Jr wants to make it easier for parents and quack doctors to "experiment" and force dangerous and unproven treatments on them.
And he wants to make it harder or outright illegal to counter disinformation that harms this industry.
True morality is at a disadvantage when fake morality is the grift. Just means we need to get creative and take them out of their game.
it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.
Still waiting for a judge to hold those in the legislative branch defying court orders in contempt…
