Tested at home for Covid. Finally got it after four years avoiding it. I guess I’ll be alone at home awhile longer. Here’s a western gull from San Diego earlier this year.

Would a native English speaker help me out here?

I know what a coffin is, and I know what a casket is. But what should I call these simple plywood boxes, Russia uses to send dead soldiers back to Russia?

This video on the history of weights and measures is one of the gems of youTube. It has 2.3 million views (but should have more) what changes would send youTube in the direction of incentivizing this kind of content?

This video is clearly a passion project. The guy who made it was going to make it regardless. As a project the topic and the time required to research, script, film and edit is prohibitive. I feel like people don't get that.

Good videos take time.

Huh.

So is Truth Social like tumblr for this guy or-? We are not that far from "feeling cute ngl might delete later" posts and "Do you like me?" polls. This is all very "Marilyn Monroe was a size 12."

I think this is an effort to seem hapless, harmless. How could he be a fascist or a criminal?

Never forget that those who would elevate their emotions, ego & whims over knowledge or fearless study of the world are often... banal. Doesn't make the harm they have done & would do any less real.

“#California state lawmakers introduced a slate of #reparations bills, including a proposal to restore property taken by “race-based” cases of eminent domain.

The package marks a first-in-the-nation effort to give restitution to #Black Americans who have been harmed by centuries of racist policies and practices” https://www.politico.com/news/2024/01/31/california-black-reparations-bills-00138854

#Trump is now attacking Barbara Jones, the court-appointed monitor overseeing Trump Org while the civil fraud case is ongoing. If you want to know more about Jones, a former fed'l judge, the work she has been doing, & what triggered Trump, she wrote a report for Judge Engoron on Trump Org activities over the last 14 months. I detail them here, and her conclusions are not antagonistic, which makes you wonder what Trump is worried about.
