I am just Blocking all who post with obviously AI-generated images. I don't care how cute folk think they are, they are destroying a lot of things to make those things.

@StillIRise1963 @AndrewHS Oh, gag. She's 28, he's 60. He got her pregnant, married her after the baby was born. Sounds like some "good Christianing" there.

@thomasfuchs Glad I lived in times of Phonics.

There were more out of scene: females and juveniles.

Oh, wow, my American friends. The Dems continue to be gutless. :(

@benroyce At the beginning of internet, a concern was that it would allow pedophiles to normalize themselves, as instead of being isolated and knowing they were abnormal, now they would find community and justify their behaviour. Social media is allowing the conspiracy theorists, incels, etc. to find their communities, which makes those things a bigger problem. The dark side of the web, though in plain site. :( @Pineywoozle

@benroyce @Pineywoozle I wish people raised their boys better instead of leaving them at the mercy for these incels.

@benroyce The positive side of the internet has been for marginalized communities finally having a voice: Indigenous folk, gay/trans, Black, etc. That is a genie we don't want to put into the bottle. I really wish schools were more involved in teaching kids about the internet and how to be aware of taking care of themselves and protecting themselves from being exploited by people with agendas that aren't in their best interests. @Pineywoozle

@benroyce @rozeboosje @Pineywoozle There are thoughts you say, and thoughts you don't say. No one has a right to an audience. Most countries have hate speech laws: if you are saying things that could trigger violence against others, you do not deserve a platform to fan that violence.

@rozeboosje One of the really sad things about the 2016 US election was that society WAS moving towards a kinder direction. Bigots knew to be quiet in public. Kids were happy in schools: gay, trans students, so what? Another generation of that would've been amazing, with those kids growing up in that. Then...the orange rapist came along, encouraging & allowing people to say the quiet parts out out, to be the worst versions of themselves, it's been catching worldwide. :( @benroyce @Pineywoozle

Just heard: Republicans are so upset about the New York mayoral race, you'd think they had just elected a rapist with 34 felonies.

@thomasfuchs Isn't there a law about this? If not, when the seditionists are dealt with, I hope that a lot of things get codified instead of relying on decency.

@StillIRise1963 Because of puerile and hateful leaders.

Mr. Brainworm is now admitting there is no evidence that Tylenol causes autism (I wonder how this will affect the Texas suit), but the problem is that once you say things that get repeated and repeated, it is hard to put the misinformation genie in the bottle, especially with the "wellness" community. They will be milking this for some time, selling their own fake products as alternatives.

It was a windy day and one could almost image being next to the ocean. :)

All that dust and dirt is goldenrod seeds/fluff. It was a windy day, the lake is to our left.

This hill is a lot steeper than this image conveys. It goes from the base of the bluffs back up to the top. Because we are in a valley of trees and it's late afternoon, the way is mostly in shade, with the sun only reaching high places.

#JPegsFolders #ScarboroughBluffs #FallColours

Looking up towards the top of the bluffs, look at those roots anchoring that tree that fell over as the edge eroded. It may be at an angle now, but it's hanging on.

@StillIRise1963 While providing relief to a country to get access to its oil...while also denying emergency funds to states that didn't vote for him. I really hope to see him held accountable.
