    Honestly, Bitty had my vote for simply being a cat. Cause cats don't care human rights. They only care about being treated like the gods.

    That's sad. Pulling the lever was such fantastic part of the experience. Now we can't call them "One Arm Bandits."

    We use to live in a society.

    They were women who would walk around and try to shame young men into enlisting, or they would present a white feather to men who weren’t in uniform to highlight their “cowardice.”

    If that were to happen today, you can give them the white feather and say "Why aren't you serving?"

    Now, upon the advice of that law firm — the Harrisburg-based Independence Law Center — the board approved spending $8,700 to cut windows so passersby can look into the so-called “gender-identity” student bathrooms.

    Anyone want to take a bet that someone at the law firm or on the school board, really loves to sexual assault children?

    As one Lemmy say that the Trump has the concepts of an idea however word salads his way to communicate with people.

    It sounds like Trump may have primary progressive aphasia.

    Most aphasia types are caused by stroke or other acute brain injury that damages brain tissue in areas important for language processing. However, a type of aphasia called primary progressive aphasia is a neurodegenerative disease, which results from progressive deterioration of brain tissue in areas important for speech and language. It is often caused by diseases such as s Alzheimer’s or Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration. Although the first symptoms are problems with speech and language, other problems associated with the underlying disease, such as memory loss and personality changes often occur later.

    >This week, the prime minister is in Italy breaking bread with Giorgia Meloni, a leader who came to power at the head of a party built in the aftermath of World War II to maintain the legacy of Benito Mussolini and Italian fascism. Starmer says he wants to learn from and cooperate with Meloni’s approach to migration. >It gets worse. Starmer and his foreign secretary, David Lammy, have also signaled that they will look to European arrangements with Libya and Syria for inspiration. >The promise of social democrats and liberals was that they would restore decency to politics, not take policy tips from far-right governments. Rather than repeating the previous government’s strategy of migrant-baiting and brutality — which was a factor in mobs attempting to burn down people seeking asylum only weeks ago — Starmer should use his majority to chart a different course: one that meets our obligations to protect, rather than harm, people seeking safety and does not attempt to divide us by where we were born.

    Pope Francis: I don’t bless a ‘homosexual marriage.’ I bless two people who love each other.

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/11758908 > VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- People who act shocked that a priest would bless a gay couple but have no problem with him blessing a crooked businessman are hypocrites, Pope Francis said. > > “The most serious sins are those that are disguised with a more ‘angelic’ appearance. No one is scandalized if I give a blessing to an entrepreneur who perhaps exploits people, which is a very serious sin. Whereas they are scandalized if I give it to a homosexual -- this is hypocrisy,” he told the Italian magazine Credere. > > The interview was scheduled for publication Feb. 8, but Vatican News reported on some of its content the day before when the magazine issued a press release about the interview.
