@MaryAustinBooks I used to work at a barite mine. Barite mineral lore is before the FDA, merchants would put barite in flour, because barite grinds up white, and is very heavy. so the weight of the flour being purchased was off.

@GottaLaff For NM history in one image, here is the county seal from the county I live in: A conquistador and a Puebloan busy not talking to each other and then some Americans show up uninvited. Demographically, NM is only 36% Anglo.

@steter Whoever sits next to stinky will be in for a long day.

@lauren I can't believe that affected his employment at all.

@lauren the Palestinians knew this was coming when the battle with Hamas started. I saw several TV interviews and press quotes at the time where citizens of Gaza saying they would never leave, because they would never be able to get back in.

@GottaLaff Get rid of the MAGA churches, they are un-christian.

@Nonilex Putin's agenda. There are some companies in the military-industrial complex that won't be happy.

@steter Superbowl is basically multimillionaires, who earn their money, on the field playing for billionaires, who didn't earn their money, in the stands. Imagine all the private planes at the New Orleans airports. Here is an image from a previous Superbowl

@steter That's OK. I have my own rants about the blackout policy of MLB.

@w7voa the border with Canada will be great with a wall to keep us in.

@steter Years of conservative corruption preceded the Musk coup.

@spocko @GottaLaff Great. That gives the opposition an opening to better organize. He stopped too soon to accomplish his goals. Like stopping a course of antibiotics too soon can let the bacteria adapt. We are the bacteria that will attack Trump. 😮

@steter I figured the billionaire/trillionaire group will by like that 'highlander' move: in the end, there can be only one.

@skinnylatte I would have thought that the fish dishes at an aquarium would be fresh <joke>

@skinnylatte Whatever the reason, as food travels around the globe, it changes to fit the local culture. On masto here, we had a discussion once about all the variations of pizza around the world. Some purist Italians were unhappy with that, but it's what happens: food recipes get changed in every locality. It's a complement.

@josh0 @augieray CW should be used rarely, and primarily on obscene images, IMO. I can see a CW on blood and gore, Trump images, grapgic sex images, stuff like that. Not ever on text. I'm also put off that every post in response to a CW post is also CW'd. Just because I put a CW on a photo of something obscene doesn't mean every post following should have a CW.

@GottaLaff Charles Manson also wanted a race war. Both men were/are deranged. Both had/have groupies. Both never did their own crimes.

@blogdiva I found a photo of many of the lead fascists, religious dominionists, & the recreated KKK all in one room. It's yesterday's inaguration.

@FlashMobOfOne It kind of doesn't matter anymore, there is such a referee stain on this game, it's not fun anymore.
