It’s a great day to release the entire Epstein files.

I've never believed in having a monarchy. With what's been revealed in recent weeks about the Andrew formally known as Prince, there may be a few more people thinking #NotMyKing and will want to sign this petition (which only has 2 days left). #EpsteinFiles petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Petition: Referendum changing the UK from constitutional monarchy to a democratic republic

We think there should be a referendum on the future of the monarchy & the type of government they want to be part of. Stay as a constitutional monarchy or become a true & secular democratic republic. ...

Think the Christmas DNA kits are starting to come through on Ancestry. Had a few new matches this week, one is a very high match but I know exactly who they are. Doesn't help solve my mystery but sorts more from that cluster of cousins. #Genealogy #GeneticGenealogy #DNA #FamilyTree

#GeneticGenealogy Q. I've done the Leeds Method on my great aunt's results. I know which ancestors each group represents, but none represent her maternal grandfather (her mother was adopted and I know the bio mum but not bio dad). What's my best next step to identify who he was? #Genealogy #DNA

My tree on Ancestry is 9.4 (Excellent), but this week I have been going through one surname making sure there are plenty sources. Anything I don't have exact dates for in Scotland, I've been adding Saved Searches to Scotland'sPeople for my next visit. #Genealogy #Organising #FamilyHistory

My tree is pretty sturdy with sources, but even with 3 new DNA testers (great-aunt and two 1c1r), I am no closer to solving my 2x great grandfather mystery. Solidly confirmed 2x great grandmother through a sibling and her cousins descendants. Waiting for 4 more tester results now. #GeneticGenealogy

Looking again at the marriage of a 2x great grand aunt and noticed that one of the witnesses had a familiar surname, McFaggen. Although not related to my aunt, her sister's husband was a descendent of the McFaggen's and seems very likely that the two men were cousins of some degree. #Genealogy 🤯

I need AI to be used for things like laundry, cleaning, taking the trash out, and other chores. I do not need AI for being creative, by any stretch of the imagination. Please stop making art, writing books, or creative works with AI - humans are meant to be cultural and creative, IMO.
