impeccable 🤣
And, by "old OLD days" you, of course, mean the year I turned five. We went to the World's Fair in Canada that year. It was easy because America and Canada close friends and allies in those days. I remember the Mounties had onions hanging from their belts as was the fashion at the time.

Every year, on this day, my uncle sends me a text or an email or sometimes just picks up the phone and calls me to commemorate Doug Flutie’s 1984 Hail Mary pass.

Nope, I don’t have any particular obsession; nor do I remember when it became ‘normal.’

But it’s sweet so I thought I’d share. 😊

On the one hand, META. Kids & adults use META platforms. Kids & adults put pictures of KIDS on META platforms.

On the other hand, platforms like PornHub & YouPorn. ONLY for adults.

CSAM ends up on both. But only META is ‘safe’ for kids. I’d think it’d be stricter about flagging CSAM.

Wrong. 👎🏻

This sounds familiar to me. Like a similar policy’s been revealed before. Like I’ve read exactly the same sort of content in emails subject to discovery in a similar lawsuit. PornHub, maybe. And a Canadian company. Anyone else?
burn it down, burn it all down
Instagram’s former head of safety and well-being Vaishnavi Jayakumar testified the company had a “17x” strike policy for accounts that engaged in the trafficking of humans for sex.

“You could incur 16 violations and upon the 17th violation, your account would be suspended"

Approximately 250 since 8/7/2025.

1: I made a post for almost all days (I didn't do a separate Coast Guard post when zero or one plane was used). The posts have an adsbexchange link and images of the flight paths.
2: planes by operator for 10/1-11/20.
3: last week (11/14-11/20).
4: last 3 weeks.

I wonder if they’ll use our military. 🙄

Will THAT be the line? When will people wake the fuck up.
no one has even bothered trying to convince us there’s a threat from Venezuela. no weapons of mass destruction. nothing. just a war of choice because why not.
US operations against Venezuela to begin within days.

Covert ops the first move.

it’s interesting to watch other countries criticize us as their countries fall prey to the same exact forces. it’s almost as if some new, more terrifying, as yet unknown, super tyrannical far right power with the wealth of the technocrats is taking over the world/ the US, UK & former territories.

good news: my mom’s one of those annoying boomer nurses with ten thousand letters after her name. you know, the kind that won’t ever let you forget she was the head nurse, or that she knows *everyone*, or that she’s smarter than you are.

above all, my mother is a PROFESSIONAL.

and she’s PISSED.

And to be clear, the six reported injuries were nosebleeds, which is what happens when you have barotrauma.

I’ve been asking since June, if a passenger is handcuffed and the handcuffs are attached to a chain around their waists, can they even reach up to grab their masks? Seems like no.
😲 CONFIRMED: “an Avelo ICE flight declared an emergency when the cabin lost pressure, according to air traffic control transmissions. The plane made a rapid descent and landed safely. Of 88 people on board, six were injured…”

Uhhhhhhhh is the New England Patriots team plane doing an ICE flight right now?

It just took off out of ICE detention hub airport. Military charter flights go out of there occasionally too, but with a different callsign. Not certain but very weird! 🤔

This reminds me of an iOS game I used to “play” a long time ago - 10+ years I’d say. I was interested in learning how different vectors spread diseases and how public health can control the spread. It terrified me, and I also thought about it *a lot* during the pandemic.

This isn’t tonight’s TPS emergency; just one recent example of how Trump uses vulnerable groups to manufacture crises. And a reminder of how he purposefully waits until Fri. nights to do so. The timing of tonight’s threat to MN is worse; it’s the Fri before a short week. (Thanksgiving).
I think I’ll remember Friday’s “harms” worst of all this year.

Another “emergency” from the government seeking to stay the postponement of the effective date of removal of temporary protected status of Venezuelan immigrants in
Noem v. National TPS Alliance.

No, he isn’t. There is literally no legal means by which he can do this. It’s not presidential power. TPS by law cannot be terminated early, and Somali TPS is not set to expire until March 17, 2026.
Trump says he’s ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somali refugees in Minnesota “immediately.”

This is a nightmare.
They are literally firing all the judges they think might grant relief. They just fired a friend of mine a couple hours ago. They have no shame. The bastards want an assembly line for deportations and nothing more; rubber-stamping bootlickers who’ll yes’sir at every new diktat to deny.
Instead of hiring more immigration judges, the Department of Justice just posted an ad for "deportation judges." join.justice.gov

Hey, to the very few Dem women in the House and in the Senate who allegedly represent all the women in the country —

Could you PLEASE try to find a way to be in the room where it happens? I’m sick of men deciding my healthcare. Thanks.
November 21, 2025 at 10:40 PM
don’t even think about it, @housedemocrats.bsky.social and @democrats.senate.gov.

can I ask a dumb fucking question.

so far, I’ve seen proposed legislation from a “quartet” of men in the House, and two republicans men in the Senate.

why aren’t women involved in the health care legislation???!
Republican lawmakers held our government hostage for weeks to strip health care away from millions and open the door for a national abortion ban. We’re grateful to the Democrats who defended health care, and we’re ready to put up a fight.
