20 yr old me, Oaxaca Mexico ultimately would have also been relieved. But honestly just about any younger me would, as long as we are talking about the same younger me that was making every effort to skip our house in a neighboring farm to avoid Mutual (youth group)

The problem with having moved around so much growing up is that I use too many terminologies interchangeably. I have never been to Oregon so also an interesting result.
I have never lived in Indiana

I am going to laugh when the recount confirms his loss but by a wider margin

So per tradition, here is one of gratitudes: my adorable and wonderful cat. Sir Nigel. He did this a lot more as a kitten but he has started it up again where he perches on my shoulders/arms. He especially likes doing this while I am trying to get ready and leave for work, but I still love him.
Picture of me with my arm stretched out and my adorable cat lying down on said arm, just one of his little antics he tries to pull and delay Me from leaving for work

Can we just show him the footage from the 50's and say it's new? I am pretty sure he wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
Screen shot of an article talking about how the president wants test nuclear weapons... Yeah, this guy is really showing us how much he really wants that peace prize

I open up my weather app this morning and.... Negative zero, I will need the math people to explain this one to me (jk)
Screenshot of my weather app showing a high of 12°c and a low of -0°c, yes you saw correctly.... Negative zero. I know it's been a hit minute since I have been in a math class, but I swear I remember being told that wasn't possible.

Facebook let me know it was nine years ago that this precious angel joined the family and we have been cherishing every moment.

This is the kind of thing you say when you only have a puddle deep understanding of Lee's life. Dude was many things, but none of which he describes here.
Screenshot of a post made by  Matt Walsh  that reads: "Robert E Lee was a man of great honor and integrity - qualities that his modern critics can't comprehend. He was given the choice between taking up his sword against his home and community and family, or standing beside them in battle. He chose the latter. Any reasonable person can understand why he made that choice."

Why not sell? Well unless you really want to do what this guy is joking about, selling such an item will good chance attract.... Specific groups of people... And ultimately you're going to just be feeding a bad ideology.(5/X)

I saw this post on threads, and since my profile there is set on private I cannot reply to this person's question. Since the greater 80% of my post high school education focused in the study of History, and big portion of that WW2 history, I have some thoughts here I would like to share (1/X)
Screenshot of a threads post that reads Question:
"I inherited some old military pins and medals and such from a relative who passed recently and one of them is a nazi pin.
(Assuming it's a "spoils of war?) And my gut reaction is to destroy it.
What's the proper thing to do?"

Yeah, still not for sure I want to go back just yet, scaling back≠eliminating. Duolingo dress themselves as an educational app, and AI has no business in education so far as I see it, honestly it has no place in academia but that is another story.
Ground news summary of what news articles are saying about Duolingo "scaling back" their use of AI in the language App. Important to note they are only reversing course because of the backlash. Articles seen to suggest that this reversal means they "value" human roles, but the fact that they wanted to eliminate human roles in the first place suggests otherwise.

@swilua.bsky.social I have a Welsh question, given that there's not a lot of context here wouldn't the last 2 responses be equally correct since one says "I like coffee" and the last says "I don't like Coffee"?

Okay that was a fun read, my favourite bit
Screen shot from the above mentioned article that reads: "The Tesla quarterly earnings report showed the company’s auto revenue fell 20%, so now Musk has to take time away from running our country like he runs his car business – into the ground – so he can focus on running his car business further into the ground."

Most definitely old news but I find it hilarious they turned off reviews for the the Gulf of Mexico, probably too help protect the fragile ego of a certain administration lol
Screenshot for google maps review section for the Gulf of Mexico showing that posting new reviews have been turned off. Most likely people complaining about turd muffin-in-chief's EO attempting to change the name of an international body of water

FamilySearch got me with the ole' bait and switch
this is a screenshot of email from Family Search saying that I "am related to" Ben Franklin. So I thought interesting...

The "hilarious" part of this is that even when a recession does come, they will deny it and the Magahats will just believe it
Ground News headline and summary of an article talking about Trump's Commerce Sycophant Lutwick claiming "there will be no; recession" I wonder if we can quote him on that

Honestly should have seen this happening...I have no doubt he will replace her with a person who hasn't even ever stepped foot in an archives.

I first saw this comic many years ago (by Tom Toro) on the door of one of my history professors and it's just been living in my head since. Moreso now than before. My own opinion on the notion that history repeats aside, funny comic.
Comic drawn by Tom Toro that shows two people sitting in a library with one of them saying "Those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it.  Yet those who do study history are doomed to stand by helplessly while everyone else repeats it."

Unrelated, but I have been rereading through a favorite book and I still love the opening line that "history does not repeat but it does instruct." Now if only people were more willing to take instructions.

Long overdue for a haircut, very refreshing.

One of my peppers has sprouted, don't ask me which or what kind as I planted at least three different peppers (could be a Ghost, habanero, or piquin)
A very tiny pepper plant sprouting out of the ground (potentially another South of it) don't ask me which as I planted a variety but got them mixed up before I remembered to mark them.  It could be a ghost pepper,  habanero pepper or a chili piquin.
