When the current administration says they are working to cut off people here illegally from receiving federal benefits - which they don't receive, BTW - what they mean is that the are boing to cut such off from LEGAL residents who are in the process of getting green cards.

At least 100 foreigners, mostly Venezuelans, are at the border seeking to cross into Peru from Chile.
We are in the midst of a GLOBAL crisis - or series of crises - that are sending desperate people across borders. Just closing borders is not the solution.

After the murders of children at school, people again start demanding legislation to restrict guns, but Republicans say that we're rushing to judgment, letting passions get in the way of reason, & we need to slow down. Yet, after the far more rare occasion when an immigrant goes on a rampage...

For Native American Heritage Day, try to name as many tribes in the USA as you can, from memory. I can name more than 25 - and generally where they lived. But having county names in Oregon that are from tribal names helps...

The neighbor just showed up with apology flowers. All is forgiven.
Not sure if a mutual neighbor or the cop tipped her off to what I wanted, or if she saw the light, but either way, this is how to do it. With flowers.
Kindness wins.
Happy Thanksgiving.

You have to watch it on Thanksgiving every year or we have 12 years of bad luck.

I hate calling the police. But my dog got attacked by a loose dog today on our walk & I was injured preventing my dog from harm.
A sincere apology & "are you okay? here's our phone number" would have stopped me. Instead, as they pulled the snarling dog away, they said "That's how he plays."

The Trump administration says it will no longer commemorate December 1st, World AIDS Day. Federal employees have been instructed to refrain from publicly promoting World AIDS Day via any communication channels, including social media, media engagements, speeches, or other public-facing messaging.

A plea to nonprofits (but, really to all):
"With millions in the international development and NGO sector still out of work after having the rug pulled out from under us, I humbly ask that when you see someone with 'too much experience' in the pile for one of your jobs that you don’t toss us out."

According to Dr. @catgyoung.bsky.social on the site formerly known as Twitter: "Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 - for the first time since records began in 1982.
This is what happens when a country commits to HPV vaccination and screening."

A.I. companies shouldn't just share revenue with publishers because it would be the right thing to do.

They should do it because it would be good business.

"device hoarding" also known as: When someone hasn't replaced the one phone that they have in a few years because they had no reason to. Words used to mean things.
stupid young people, stop buying a new phone every year if you don't want to be broke. wait no, not like that.

Device…hoarding. Because you don’t go get a new one while yours is still fine.

Apparently I am also practicing car hoarding, house hoarding, husband hoarding, dog hoarding, computer hoarding, furniture hoarding and art hoarding.

I am 30 pages into A Fever in the Heartland by Timothy Egan, about the rise of the Ku Klux Klan's in the 1920s. And I would like to know the difference between the 1922 KKK platform and the modern Republican Party, because I see no difference at all. And I'm not exaggerating.
