:( Good gods, I truly hate some people. The abject horror humans inflict on other creatures :( There is no need for developed nations to have humans that eat other animals :(

Speaking or morals -- shitters shit on everything they can shit on. Volunteers can clean some of it, contractors have to get the rest
What kind of human has morals that enable them to bring spray paint in to the woods specifically to shit on everything they can shit on?

Starbucks employees are on strike today at 65 stores across the United States -- which is pointless: there are 13,800 Starbucks shops in the United States, the parasite corporation won't even notice
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Google Gemini GAI managed to cram numerous symbols in to this, depicting the capitulation and collaborationism of 8 Democrats in the Senate siding with fascists. Rather unfair to the French though I love the French cat and the French hat! There should be flies circling the Democratic Donkey's rear 🙂

16.7 million boys and men play baseball in the United States on average every year. Just 17.6 percent of who gets drafted appear in major league games. The odds are microscopic -- about 0.0047% (≈ 1 in 21,000) of all U.S. baseball players will ever play in MLB. That's why they're paid $ millions $

The republican who murdered the Hispanic woman would not have murdered a Caucasian woman. This is Fox "news" ensuring that republican Christians are kept filled with hate and fear of anyone with brown skin hue. The NRA terrorist who murdered her will walk away free because he us white.
Still thinking about this story. Imagine how cooked your brain has to be on Fox News -- how terrified you have to be, every day in your isolated suburban castle -- to start *shooting* when you see brown people at your door, before the door is even open. We're such a nation of terrified cowards.
Cleaning worker who mistakenly went to wrong home fatally shot: Police
The shooting victim died from a gunshot wound to the head, the coroner's office said.

The new underground drain on Wren Meacham Trail, 350 pounds of crushed rock hauled up the mountain -- and we have heavy rain coming for three days so we can evaluate how well it drained the seam that collects the two large hillsides that drain over the trail -- now under the trail, hopefully!

Before and after establishing underground drain on Wren Meacham Trail with Boy Scout volunteers -- this is an effort in progress, 700 pounds of rock and the second drain has yet to be competed. Very difficult up the steep trail!

Difficult to see but this is a "before / in-progress" photo of drainage being improved along Wren Meacham Trail where volunteers have already improved the trench at bottom of this table. We are entrenching the table so that water drains & does not spread out on to the trail we will finish on the 7th

This is interesting but also not surprising, a look at the effectiveness of advertising, 99 percent of which is scams and frauds. Researchers don't use the term "weak-minded" to describe who falls for advertising and marketing but that's out of professionalism

My grand niece riding a dinosaur. :) She took video of herself riding the dinosaur while drinking mouthwash :) I hope that she puts her energy in to science... Physics, engineering, math, something other than "sugar mamma" which she said she's dressed up for as a school project :)
