More raspberries to use before they spoil.
This has been the best raspberry harvest ever for us. We are getting raspberried out. I'm going to freeze the rest for later.
Not sure who gets this fresh, hot out of the oven, raspberry/blackberry pie.
I will find it a good home one way or another.

Time to remove Hungary from the Schengen area.

A loophole after the spy bank? Russian and Belarusian "guest workers" can come to #Hungary as families, without vetting.

The Hungarian government has opened the #Schengen national security gate wide, and Russians and Belarusians will be able to come with a so-called National Card from July.

Is Donald #Trump ok?? I’m genuinely asking, because he seems to think that 1) Hannibal Lecter is real and 2) He’s a great guy.

Instead of Silence of the Lambs, I’d rather watch Silence of the Convicted Felon.

Jul 24
Trump: They go crazy when I say, "the late great Hannibal Lecter." They say 'Why would he mention Hannibal Lecter, he must be cognitively in trouble!' No. These are real stories. Hannibal Lecter from Silence of the lamb, a lovely man.."

I wonder happened in the life of @lhgmk2 that has caused him to feel that it's okay for him to call MVP Kamala Harris a bitch?
https://mas.to/@lhgmk2/112847838653688748

That statement was most unwise.

It's an act of denial running adjacent to the narrative that refuses to acknowledge Israel is a genocidal occupying power for over 80 years, the suggestion that anti-genocide protestors are antisemitic hamas supporters is a horrendous gaslight, an assault on freedom of speech, an insult to the moral integrity of the American people, and a complete failure to represent either the people, or the truth. Today, she looks like a lackey.

Bitch, do not do that again.

Rachel Maddow says JD Vance’s rise is thanks to gay billionaire’s influence, not skill or merit
https://www.advocate.com/politics/maddow-jd-vance-peter-thiel

Something good to ask yourself and your fellow church congregants during this political season: "Do we want a church where people from different political viewpoints will feel comfortable belonging to?" Or, at least, where they feel the church is not partisan.

In other words, am I willing to segregate Sunday morning along political lines because of my political beliefs?

Definitely, there are going to be times when the church needs to take a stand on political issues. For example, Charles Finney upset a lot of people by preaching forcefully on the topic of slavery. But we should aim to be equal opportunity offenders. I'd like to think that staunch blue and red voters would at one point or another be made uncomfortable by what we say from the pulpit. If you are a "prophetic voice" but only repeat one side's partisan talking points, is it really prophetic?
@michael Wow, I love that take! "In Christ there is neither male nor female, Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, ... Republican nor Democrat"

I feel that my identity as a Christian is the most important and over-riding. It's more important than my ethnicity, nationality, politics, etc.
Michael mastodon (AP)
indeed!

I feel so very privileged: living in south east London I worship in a hugely diverse church. There are members from probably 50+ different nationalities from literally every continent (apart from Antarctica), all races, political persuasions, and socio economic backgrounds, some who grew up in Christian homes, others who only came to Christ weeks ago. All worshipping together, united in Christ.

A little foretaste of heaven!

Bring back the poetry Olympics!


Some 200 years before the modern revival of the Olympics as we now know it, a group of poets met in a garden in Rome to revive the ancient games in their own way. Their Giuochi Olimpici (“Olympic games” in Italian) was based not on speed or strength, but on one’s ability to string together a poem or win a debate.

The Poetry Olympics took the ancient pentathlon, but replaced the five sporting competitions with five new games based on poetic composition and intellectual debate. A description from 1701 lists these as “the foot race, the javelin, the discus, the wrestling and the long jump”. Each was intended to showcase skill in poetry, wit or song.

When I was a child I didn’t know who I was. I knew who everyone told me to be, a good little Jewish boy who would grow up to be a good Jewish man. I built that boy out of mud with my hands and shaped him into the form others expected. On his forehead I wrote אמת, truth, hoping it would live a truth I didn’t understand.

I wrote a name of God on a piece of paper and placed it into his mouth and he lived. For 35 years he walked in my place, living a false life with my breath.

One day I could suffocate no longer and needed to die or take my breath back. In a moment of strength I removed the aleph from his head and he fell apart. He did not die as his forehead now read, for he was never alive.

I didn’t realize how much mud had accumulated over the years. How deep the shame was, how heavy the long dried pieces of dirt were. My hands, now torn and bleeding from breaking my golem apart, finally found the long forgotten paper.

I see the name I wrote was my own.

For fans of @acarsdrama - some stats:

The rig receives around 1,500 messages an hour during daytime hours. The split is around 1,000 ACARS to 500 VDLM2.

Of those 1,500, it averages 2 or 3 that contain the 'free text', human typed messages that constitute the drama per hour. The rest is automated position reports, status messages, data exchanges about weather etc.

In summary, there is a lot of data coming off of planes at all times.

It’s a lower number than I expected given the number of planes in the air. Interesting channel thanks

I understand the Council giving the planet to the Elcor. I don't understand the "bombardment" which would kill people.

Maybe that was a euphemism? 🤷‍♂️
Maddy Waves mastodon (AP)
If they were serious about bombarding the Quarian colony, it would be a pretty harsh punishment. Especially since I remember there was something like a legal prohibition to bombard garden worlds... 🤔 (I mean, the repercussions would be bad for the Elcor that are going to settle there too.)

J.D. Vance has called falling birthrates in the U.S. a "civilizational crisis."

But he voted against a bill that would have protected IVF treatments.

He also called universal childcare programs “a massive subsidy to the lifestyle preferences of the affluent.”

Hello?

Odd that a climate change denier would be concerned about a civilizational crisis.

No surprise. Anything that doesn't just help rich white folks must be shunned and banned. He's typical. It rubs him raw that folks other than his chosen will get any benefits of any kind. He and his ilk have been this way since FDR.

No surprises.
