#catclaws ⭕trimmed #indoorcats

Good to do that, but some nice cats can suddenly run up to you if they feel their friend (a small dog in my case) was having a mild stroke, coughing, dreaming, etc and BITE you, nothing we can do

Just a mild bite, smile

Amazing that it was TIME that removed the WILD tiger out of the house cat, most of the time

@WarnerCrocker
Ukraine and he have always had the most to lose

That's true.

Why did Trump and Vance cause the #rareearth document to be stopped?
Or why did #Zelenskky stop it? He was there to sign it

Michael McFaul (Amb to Russia 2012-2014) said he saw drafts of the rare earth document and it was "a nothing burger"

⭕️It WAS a document to keep the US involved in a future ceasefire.

RE
only five years difference in #BernieSanders and #Trump in age. Think about that

Amazing that age is not a number, it's a tool to damage the #democrats

Oh, if the #MAGA #Republican #MitchMcConnell did his job and told the R to vote to convict Trump for #Jan6 #Impeachment of #Trump

#joyreid on #MSNBC on her Thu Feb 20 2025 talked about this.

RE
#Trump has demanded data on potentially thousands of FBI agents who worked on Jan. 6th cases

#RachelMaddow reports that this order came from #whitehouse and it seems it was possibly destined to expose the #FBIagents and #jan6prosecutors who have been fired or resigned on Monday Feb 3 2025

So, "this not a #Nixon, this is THE END of law enforcement without favoritism

@jcast

Speaking of #MAGA and #META, they seem to be circling closer and reminds me of what #Trump likes to say, "it takes two to tango"

#danawhite was the kid who smashed #zuckerberg into the locker and it hit him, "Why I can have a face and a #likebutton and everyone will like me!

So, that's why the LIKE button was invented for?

Wonder if #amazon was testing #DronesOverNJ to replace #amazondrivers

#CNN  
"Amazon delivery drivers are on strike in four states across the US. Those on strike say that 400 packages, long hours and little help are part of a regular day at work.

Amazon says that the strike won’t have an impact on holiday deliveries, but the delivery drivers who went on strike are hoping it moves the needle at the massive company"

What kind of future Secretary of Defense needs his mom to come out and defend him?
I thought he was against women in combat roles.

And besides, I never saw Donald Rumsfeld be like, "Hey, I have a warning for the Taliban. Mom, you tell them!"

RE
the game is not an android app. It's a card game

Oh, my big mistake, sorry, I must have Android on the mind, smile

So, the _card game_ is a card game, I see that now (see images)

And what a good deal if one buys a 5 pack.

I will tell some University ESL teachers here, they might use the game, because emoji is emoji in any language

@sharan @mmasnick

#OneBillionUsers is a collaboration between Techdirt and Diegetic Games, there is a very fast talking audio podcast with the guys who are producing this game, #techdirt check out from about the 20min point.

They decided to make the cards (the game is an #AndroidApp) be like #emoji we have today, this what makes it look different than the early game of Touring and Mille Bornes

AUDIO is here frtom a webpage (Do Not need SoundCloud account)

"'Every time there’s a push for #ClimateAction, [we see] fossil fuel companies downplay and deny the harms of burning fossil fuels..."

The #fossilfuelcompanies dont want you to see graphs like this (see image)

They are very successful at it, I just saw it yesterday

Not funny that oil production makes so much profit that they can get away with producing pollution near the refineries. Texas, Louisiana and New Jersey come to mind

21% of adults in the United States are considered #illiterate

#issacasimov was saying the same, in the 1980s, but it was a feature not a bug

@DemocracyMattersALot

Gigabytes of data from the #heritagefoundation has been released somewhere, but to tell the truth, do we really need anything more than this? (see short ⭕video)

Don't get me wrong, the more evidence of Heritage Foundation #propaganda and #disinformation is a GOOD THING, because there are uninformed voters who get #misinformation from #newsmax #foxtv #oan etc

⭕Paul Weyrich _wanted_ more voter suppression, they are still playing this game

RE
Project 2025 also includes the answer for why Trump will be a dictator this time...

#registertovote #voteblue #vote2024

#Project2025 info by #deanobeidallah on what a cluster plan it might do, like...

1. Replacing the entire federal bureaucracy, including independent agencies such as the DOJ,
under the direct control of the President

2. Ending civil service protections

3. Banning abortion and access to certain birth control

@jeffowski

#RealPage allegedly replaces competitive decisionmaking on prices, with a #pricefixing
https://www.propublica.org/article/doj-backs-tenants-price-fixing-case-big-landlords-real-estate-tech

Not every use of an #algorithm to set price violates federal law, but it is unlawful when, competitors ⭕knowingly ⭕combine their nonpublic pricing and supply information in an #algorithm that they rely upon in making pricing decisions, with the expectation that other #competitors #landlords will do the same
