I’m old enough to remember Idi Amin. Hunter nails it here.

“We’re living under a dictatorship right now. It’s less Adolf Hitler because Trump’s not as disciplined as that. It’s more Idi Amin. It’s buffoonery, complete and utter incompetence. On top of a giant grift of the likes the world has ever seen!” - Hunter Biden

Top Russian general assassination attempt: Putin's regime can't keep up with its own war
Maddow asked #JamesTalarico about attacks on #trans people and those who think that to win, Dems must "moderate" on trans rights. Talarico answered, "I don't believe we win by selling people out." #Texas
Two people in Michigan have died from the Cyclosporiasis outbreak.
The media is already leading with the fact that they had pre-existing conditions.
They’re pacifying the public.
Anyone could die from Cyclosporiasis, but they want you to believe it can’t happen to you.
It can only happen to the weak, the disabled, the elderly.
The expendable people.
Eugenics.

Iran denies US talks, Hormuz to remain closed: Senior Iranian source | Al Mayadeen English
https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/iran-denies-us-talks--hormuz-to-remain-closed--senior-irania
"A senior Iranian political and security source told Al Mayadeen that Iran is not holding any negotiations with the United States. The source accused US President Donald Trump of habitually lying and of blaming others rather than taking responsibility for undermining the prior understanding."
Sad when Iran is more credible than the US is.

An ICE vehicle pulled into #NewYork Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital Sunday after an eyewitness said she saw a man detained in the ER.

In the 1990s, scientists in #Australia began searching for the origins of a new disease showing up in places hundreds of kilometres apart. They discovered the origin: #bats. And found a way to reduce the risk of bat disease spillovers
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

We hope this register offers a moment to remember the names and stories of the victims. For each one, we’ve included the backstory we were able to gather alongside the official account from government agencies.
Watching the growing activation of newly mobilized HOA-like communities against data centers:
That's how you harness the Power of Karen (tm) for good.
If they will wreck you for mowing your lawn on a Sunday, what the frack do you think they're going to do when someone puts a data center literally across the golf course?
@Lizette603_23 It’s funny because when I faced deadlines all the time I didnt mind it, I enjoyed the challenge, reporting is a spectacular, fascinating job. But it was stressful and that manifested in different ways, looking back I can see. Now it manifests as dreams. It’s OK, life is an adventure!
#Askfedi my spouse and I are holidaying with our daughter in a remote cottage in the peak district. We're none of us in a good mental state. We're off to #Leeds tomorrow for the day. Where's good for us to go? Must be LGBTQI+ welcoming, diverse, interesting and not too expensive. We like #coffee, #coffeshops #books #bookshops #oldthings and #art please could we have some suggestions for nice places to go. We intend to park near the #Brudenhall and walk into the centre... Thank you fedi hive in advance. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Yesterday my son (11) disappeared at the beach with his friends, the wacky flailing arm inflatable tube guy in teen boy form, for an hour. Scared the shit out of me. He should know better, his friends have zero ocean experience and they’re naive. So today I’m getting him up early to go hike up a mountain, which should be reasonably muddy still after a bunch of rain Saturday night. He clearly needs a reminder about Kauai.
Always throws the Women under the bus first, doesn't he?
