🔥 COUNTRY SINGER @bryanandrewsmusic.bsky.social : "You don't get to call yourself a Christian and laugh when families are torn apart — and think it's okay that the highest court in the land just gave a green light to ICE agents to target people because they’re brown or speaking Spanish.”

Most British people cannot speak English to A Level standard. I used to teach French at high schools in Leeds, and it's actually very hard to teach a foreign language when kids don't speak their own language well to start with www.gov.uk/government/n...

Migrants will be required to pass A Level standard of English

Migrants will be required to pass tough new English language requirements under a law introduced in Parliament today.

Heck with the rapture- look at the sun! 🤠

A large prominence eruption is also occuring from the Sun's western limb at the same time as this M3.1 flare (happening now).

It's unclear yet if the M3.1 flare is producing a CME... stay tuned!

So they really can’t find practical uses for ChatGpt and they need money, I see.

Make it make sense! I’m kinda ready to call this out in a formal communication to our MIA Congress and White House, even if they give me an extreme label.

So, China is buying soy beans from Argentina instead of America but we are giving Argentina billions of dollars? Also, Argentinians have free healthcare but Americans do not and our government is now shut down because it doesn’t have enough money to give Americans even a discount on healthcare?

Friend volunteers with a pro-democracy organization that will rally and march Saturday. Friend invited me to join, but signs must meet standards! They can provide approved signs like “protesting is patriotic”. Nothing specific about what is happening. Nothing partisan or directed at a person. 😶

That's a lovely drawing and nice message about herons. The north end of my yard has an small estuary that is frequently visited by herons during mid-tide. The front of my house has a heron carving

Part of a front wall of a house that has a board and batten surface. The middle of the photo has a large pacific northwest indigenous carving of a heron that is framed by green trim with 3 panel windows on each side. The bottom of the photo has a row of blooming daffodils.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Apparently we all survived the rapture and can enjoy your trees- thank you! Too bad for the devout that apparently got sucked up into the clouds.

This. The Hpuse has barely worked this year, mostly because Mike Johnson keeps trying to avoid sensitive stuff. Why are these people getting paid? The lazy prez is golfing and grifting almost every weekend and VP has taken like a dozen vacations since he started.

Human☮ @4humanunity.bsky.social · 1d

Here’s the deal, Mike Johnson, you worked 9 days since July, make $200K, and get best free healthcare we pay for, while shutting down ours.

Want it fair? Start with your paychecks. No work, no pay and no damn free healthcare for any of you. Let Congress feel the pain they dump on the rest of us.

Happy birthday, Gus! This former Minnesotan owes you a heartfelt thanks for being such a kind, plainspoken guy. Totally gives me hope in young folk. 🥳🎂

Deleted my reply after I looked up solar prominence compared to flare. I anmswered my own question and learned something new. Our sun is really fascinating!

I’m American and I agree. Hopefully big business takes it, because you are correct, he doesn’t care about small business.

I got both flu and the latest Covid vax today. 💪🏼 💉

I had flu once thirty years ago and never want to get it again.

Tim Onion @bencollins.bsky.social · 1d

If you're wondering whether or not to get a flu shot, I didn't get one in time, and I just had a fever dream where I was in the Drew Carey Show because several days ago I was on the Wikipedia page for the Drew Carey Show. You don't have to do this to yourself.

Yes, and I bet works made by humans become valuable due to scarcity, so while most of us will get stuck with AI slop, the wealthy will pay premium prices for real handiworks.
