Via Emptywheel:

This is why lawyer people speak in terms of statutes.

In Columbia, you have trespassing and vandalism.

In DC, you had trespassing legally exacerbated by Mike Pence's presence, vandalism, the corrupt interruption of the vote count, assault (including w/deadly weapons), sedition

Bradley Moss:

You can’t denounce the J6 rioters and then say the Columbia students who occupied a building by force and destroyed property should be immune from consequences.

This is the real world.

@GottaLaff @JustJen it's as if what congress was doing inside the capitol on J6 was completely irrelevant 🤔 … Which, actually, suits alt-right purposes quite well: democracy is annoyingly cumbersome and should be ignored or circumvented. 😨

@Snowshadow @GottaLaff thx. I just changed my grocery order. Almond milk, not dairy.

deborahh ,
@deborahh@mstdn.ca avatar

@GottaLaff @GiddingsMJ it was quoted in the BBC article I boosted this morning. 50% of those known to have contracted it. It feels like a soft stat. Still, worth noting.

deborahh ,
@deborahh@mstdn.ca avatar

@GiddingsMJ @GottaLaff I still mask too. People have forgotten Covid completely, look astonished that I'm masking. (Yesterday I even masked while walking on our main street - I have such bad pollen allergies, why not? LOL)

It means I don't attend any indoor networking event, especially with food. It's a shame. But this brain is the only one I've got and I really need it.

deborahh ,
@deborahh@mstdn.ca avatar

@GottaLaff @Snowshadow Thx! I didn't know that.

I've also heard that dairy milk calcium isn't as well absorbed as once assumed. For kids, of course, it matters. But I stopped getting my calcium from milk many years ago ¯\ _ (ツ)_/¯

deborahh ,
@deborahh@mstdn.ca avatar

@Snowshadow @GottaLaff a nutritionist I follow pointed out that the ones made from grains (oat, rice) are carb-heavy and can mess with blood sugar/insulin. So I went for almond - though I had to hunt to find one that''s UNsweetened.

deborahh ,
@deborahh@mstdn.ca avatar

@pmonks @GiddingsMJ @GottaLaff once we get over being stared at, it does have advantages!

I also wear mine to vacuum, it reduces my horror at the pollen I'm kicking up (despite the hepa filter).

Edit: I have a [breathe] mask, and was using aerosol filters for covid. When I read the eildfire smoke forecast for Ontario this summer, I ordered some PM2.5 particulate filters. Better for pollen, as well. 👍

deborahh ,
@deborahh@mstdn.ca avatar

@pmonks @GiddingsMJ @GottaLaff my problem with being stared at is that (as a life coach) I'm highly attuned to body language and people's expressions. I try to turn it off in public, but it's harder when it's directed at me.
Yesterday, at a rally for the environment, I noticed I am getting better at ignoring it, and congratulated myself, LOL. It seems to become just part of life for me now.

@GottaLaff @stephanie @Snowshadow so many people take carbonate, which is like ground stone, right? Cheap, but not assimilable. The new mineral formulations with biglycinate are also good. My iron and mag are -biglycinate, and my doc likes that.

deborahh ,
@deborahh@mstdn.ca avatar

@GottaLaff yep, just checked the almond milk I ordered. Calcium carbonate. Good call. I'll see what other options I can find.
@Snowshadow I am looking at your article now.

deborahh ,
@deborahh@mstdn.ca avatar

@GottaLaff @Snowshadow well, I found 2 oat options without added calcium. \o/

Silk branr: oat and hemp half-and-half! ✔
and
Elmhurst oat creamer (very expensive, and went bad in my fridge very fast).

🤞

deborahh ,
@deborahh@mstdn.ca avatar

@GottaLaff @Snowshadow dunno. I'm not drinking it for the calcium, so I prefer one without that additive. When I drank soy milk, I also used a French brand without calcium (or sugar) added. It was just soy beans, water, salt (maybe added gum for texture?). It was lovely!

Google has laid off their Python Foundation team and asked them to train their replacements who will be in the Munich office.

This is similar to layoffs in their finance department a few weeks ago where some positions were moved outside the country where they’re cheaper. 😬
