The notion that #America is an idea has always lifted up our country, and for good reason. The fact that America was founded on the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the governing limits of the Constitution makes us #unique among nations. Most countries trace their origins to tribal identity. But America has its origins in the revolutionary idea that the government cannot deny men and women an equal opportunity to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Both our friends and foes have recognized this difference. No less than Joseph Stalin railed against American “exceptionalism” when our workers refused to join in solidarity with his murderous revolution of the proletariat. JD Vance went out of his way to trash this #exceptionalism, to say that America is not distinguished by its creed, no matter what Stalin thought — Jessica Gavora #quotes #quote #Vance

Margaret Atwood will be in conversation at the Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen after she receives the 2024 Hans Christian Andersen Literature Award. The event in the Black Diamond, as the library’s known, will be live-streamed to audiences in other library branches.

After I put tickets for the Aarhus event in the webshop basket, I clicked around in confusion looking for the payment options. Turns out there are none, because the tickets are free. We truly don't deserve libraries.

#Libraries
Screenshot of the Aarhus Library web page advertising the Atwood event. Text translated & summed up here from Danish: Live-streaming from The Black Diamond Library’s International Writers' Scene with Margaret Atwood. 29th October. ‘Atwood is one of the most significant and influential living authors, particularly within the genre of science fiction.’ Through ‘biting satire and a colourful imagination’, she writes about equality, the climate crisis and democracy.
Ciara mastodon (AP)
“The 2024 Hans Christian Andersen Literature Award is given to Margaret Atwood for her use of myths, fairy tales, and fantastical and speculative narratives to illuminate contemporary political issues, as well as for elevating so-called speculative fiction to a higher art form.”

Tricksen bei der Erbschaftssteuer: Bedürftige MilliardärInnen
Die Daten der Finanzämter geben da leider nichts Ge­naue­res her – immerhin aber dies: Im vergangenen Jahr gab es 26 Fälle von Verschonung der besonders großen Firmenvermögen, der Staat verzichtete damit auf 2,1 Milliarden Euro Erbschaft- und Schenkungssteuern, der Steuersatz der GroßerbInnen lag bei etwa 0,1 Prozent.

Hey #wildfire fediverse - I'm a qualified forest firefighter currently available for deployment. Based in Australia, open to anywhere.

I do need to get paid for my work, and need someone to fund a chainsaw ticket refresher (last done in 2007). Otherwise I still have a valid arduous medical (until late November), 4wd, FFMV PPE, valid passport.

Not sure how much difference one extra pair of hands can make, I'm sure there are other people in the same position.

Dear Sir/Madam,

could you please answer my following questions concerning the above-mentioned "experiment" rolled out with the latest release of Mozilla's Firefox web browser, depending on which I may decide to request review by a data protection authority:
1) Who is the data processor for the data collected and processed by the "aggregation system"/server?
2) If the processor is not based in the EU, which legal basis in the GDPR do you rely on for the non-EU processing of personal data?
3) Which data exactly is being collected and processed by the "aggregation system"/server? For example, does it include a browser identifier?
4) Which metadata exactly is being collected and processed by the "aggregation system"/server? For example, are IP addresses being logged?
5) Is a privacy policy on these operations, compliant with the GDPR, available concerning the "aggregation system"/server, and where?

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for your message. While a setting associated with the “system” you reference is present globally in Firefox 128, the underlying technology is in a prototype stage currently undergoing internal testing within Mozilla. Firefox has not sent any data from a user's device to servers for attribution or ads measurement in connection with this feature. We hope this helps alleviate your concerns.

Thanks,

Mozilla

Good Friday morning! The rain is in our rear view mirror and the humidity is dropping. The cats are celebrating with a round of zoomies around the house.

The granddaughter will be coming over later for a sleepover. We may have to celebrate by going out for ice cream. It’s a rare day this summer that’s cool enough the ice cream won’t melt before we can finish it.

Enjoy your day and the weekend ahead. Find something to celebrate!

Happy Funday Friday Sharon. Sounds like you’re going to abide. Enjoy your granddaughter and ice cream.

I got bonus weeding done this morning before she was dropped off, so the ice cream is guilt free. 😊

Many different aspects were discussed, including our armored vehicles, drones, and artillery....

Bei Olympia geht es neben Sport auch um lächerliche Rituale und natürlich den Weltfrieden. Es ist erstaunlich, wie ernst das Schauspiel genommen wird.#ThomasBach #Rituale #OlympischeSpiele2024 #Sport #Schwerpunkt

Woke just after 5 am, but unlike when I was in the hospital, I'd slept for almost 8 hours. It was glorious 🙂

Just about the first thing I do every morning is open the living room shades. Today, I got to see the gardens for the first time in over a week.

And...wow. Sunflowers over 6 feet tall. One potato is at least 3 feet tall. I can't tell if those really tall plants in the middle are beans or tomatoes from inside the house. So much growth in all the plants!

#gardening
Sunflowers over 6 feet tall. Borage working on a garden takeover, given that there's at least one plant in most of the beds. Bright orange marigolds blooming. A cucumber plant that's now about 5 feet long (I have to go work on that!) 

I have to go rescue my rhubarb and Brussels sprouts from the borage. Strawberry plants have come back and should be new growth, so there might be some berries.

I'm guessing the carrots and beets can be harvested. One potato plant is about 3 feet tall, so I might have potatoes. And I have to sort through the various squash plants to see if we have any more.

Jim harvested a dozen zucchini while I was gone (and he made zucchini bread!), and I'm guessing there are more.

Tall plants in the middle of the photo ae either tomatoes or beans (or both). I'll figure that out, too, when I get out there.

I also have to find the beets and onions that I planted in various beds.

Hey, y'all 👋. Happy #TGIF Friday and all that good stuff. 👍

So, guess what I woke up to find starting #myday this morning. I'll give a hint. SOS-DD. 😏

Yup. Another muggy, misty, cloudy, damp morning. But #today it's a cool, 71deg, with a nice, though wet feeling breeze and no rain to #joinin yet. The weather folks are thinking the weather gods are gonna take a breather #today and hold off to muster there resourses to continue their soggy effort later this evening. ⛈️

So, I'm kinda hoping the wet n soggy will have a chance to seep away some and dry up enough to let me get out and whack some of those high n heavy weeds in my jungle like lawn #today. 🤞
THAT would probably be a fun way to shower #today, and wash n rise the clothes I'd wearing too. 💦🚿

Oh heck. No sun here today. But I did get out to retrieve the trash bin from the road. So there was that. 💪

Lemme tell ya, it was a soggy trip in the muggy air, and not at all refreshing. But at least I wasn't rained on. 👍

So been spending my morning doing my usual morning walking around and exercising to prepare for my Friday of Honey-doins inside and holding out a little hope things dry out some this afternoon and let me cut some jungle growth.🤞

It's gotten a bit humid now, but this morning it was cool enough to get all my weeding done, as well as a walk.

At least you got the trash bin moved! I hope you're able to get something done outside!
