Which is probably what they spend the most time and energy perfecting

I’d never heard of FUTO. It’s been around for a year and I can find so little information.

DNS or an app? How does it work?

Ad companies have the new subscription tier of Premium Buster, so now you have to upgrade to Premium Buster Buster

Interesting picture they chose for her.

The world will be a sad place for a while

It’s the fediverse equivalent of the Democratic candidate that DNC is trying to shove down our throat. Fine, I need them to win to beat the evil GOP candidate, but if rather have Bernie

About 8 years ago, I moved from the red state I was born to a progressive city. I let my daughter serve her first year of school there then said oh hell no and got the fuck out.

Just remember rule number 1: Get hired first, then move

Mews from the front!

Or do the trial, find some games you like, then buy them for a couple bucks when the trial ends

Kids are getting an unhealthy amount of screen time. An unbelievable number of parents are not doing anything about it at home (well, maybe it’s believable; they’re addicted, too). Phones are becoming increasingly more addictive year by year as marketers learn new tricks to capture brain time.

Kids brains are still developing and social interaction plays an important role. As the teacher says in the article, phone bans result in more face to face student interactions and less work avoidance. Many schools that are implementing bans lately also reference a study that demonstrated having a cell phone even in pocket or in reach distracted students thoughts (how many times have you checked time/notifications, then absent mindedly checked again within a minute?)

Safety wise, I don’t buy that kids having their phone in a school shooting situation would help anything. Every classroom has a phone, MOST of which these days have a built-in “lockdown” button that immediately signals police and triggers a school wide lockdown announcement. My bigger fear is how many will make their main character selfie blogs that we’ve seen come from bigger high schools during shootings or crying to their parents on the phone when really they need to be silent and not endangering everyone else. I get that parents want to know right now that their kids haven’t been shot, but that information doesn’t do anything to help the situation.

The only case where this gets iffy is when the building is evacuated and phones are left behind. This is especially problematic as people no longer know each other’s phone numbers and couldn’t simply borrow a phone to contact family.

In the end, the day to day is what really matters. I’m not a fan of the districts that hyper focus on safety structures when building community and a welcoming environment should be the focus of a school.

I hope wicked.com capitalizes on this moment by releasing traffic data

The message was part of a bulleted list of “best practices”, sandwiched between “don’t go anywhere alone” and “practice de-escalation” so I’m pretty certain they were afraid of being harassed or attacked.

I will still feel better if the investigations reveal it was due to safety from being attacked SEVERAL TIMES by the stupid asses in the trump camp. FEMA workers have a right to feel safe while doing their job. I hope the investigation also comes with a list of reported harassment, because I haven’t seen a comprehensive one yet

The problem is that some men will literally tell a woman anything they want to hear until they’re in bed. They will lie their ass off and avoid political discussion until after the proposal, then they’ll suggest maybe she could cook a little more

I’ve tried mastodon and followed a couple people. But I never did Twitter either. Could you recommend how I could best use mastodon? Who to follow, or for to sort/search out whatever what’s popular? I couldn’t figure it out

I didn’t know how feasible, but here are currently the steps I plan to take to keep my mental health in check:

1. Actively avoid hearing his voice.

The vitriol and stupidity behind his words and his voice always force my brain to spiral into anger/frustration. It does bother me that print media rewrites his sentences to remove the nonsensical dementia rambling, but when he’s speaking, he’s lying anyway. Press conferences are out. I wish media could be encouraged to not bother showing up to them, but they love the sensationalism, too. I don’t use tiktok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. so I’ll have an easier time of this than some. But I’ll be changing some YouTube, podcast, and radio news habits (unfortunately, since I do want to support some people). I’m on the fence about last week tonight and the daily show.

2. Not bother to read any story around the latest awful things Trump “said”. Focus on print news about political actions.

He spews a lot of hateful bullshit when he feels like he needs media attention, which is pretty much constantly because his brain never developed beyond middle school. I’ll keep attention on what actions he and his swamp people have taken politically (including their scams to enrich themselves).

I’m also anticipating lawsuits against and by him on the daily. Dunno what to do about that yet. Maybe only major case milestones or something.

3. Heavily focus on local

I anticipate more of those school board takeover attempts and federal action to suppress blue states and unions. Locally is where the real subversive actions to Trump policy will take place.

Coincidentally got subway yesterday for the first time in years. Immediately noticed that the bread is less than half the width of what it used to be.

Opposite Jansen’s plea were more than 290 public comments, many of which called for an end to vaccine mandates or taxpayer funding of the vaccines, neither of which are happening in the district.

Stupid stupid fucking assholes.

many people who spoke are nationally known for making the rounds to testify against COVID vaccines, including Dr. Peter McCullough, a Texas cardiologist who sells “contagion emergency kits” that include ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine

Ah yes, give a soapbox to the snake oil salesman. His opinion matters equally to the medical doctor.
