For those who are ignorant to accept Russia’s lies, Putin’s regime has committed similar atrocities in the Central African Republic 🇨🇫…
…as well Mali 🇲🇱 via the Wagner mercenary group.
I have not heard any info out of Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 yet, but I would not be surprised if the same thing is happening in that country as the military conducted a coup d’ Tate against the civilian government with Wagner’s help.
This is why people are leaving @instagram for rivals like Vero, Tumblr, Glass & Pixelfed (I am on Pixelfed now for what it is worth).
I will still use Instagram, but only as a glorified communication platform for friends still active upon it. I already deleted my Facebook account, & I am slowly depreciating my WhatsApp account.
Great comparison between @tesla, @Rivian & @LucidMotors with the latter two struggling to ramp up production. I honestly hope all three succeed, but success is earned, not given.
It boggles my mind that Christian Nationalists continue to misinterpret scripture, distort history & attempt to use political power to force a cultural ideal upon the masses of America.
America was founded by white Christian men but it was NEVER founded as a Christian nation. America purposely did not choose a state religion (which most countries on Earth legally have) & the first amendment was designed to protect all faiths in the United States.
Great summary by @cnet about @apple iPhone 14 Pro, Apple Watch Ultra & Airpods Pro. I am tempted to ask @att to upgrade my devices but…hmmmmm…I need to think about this. 😂🤣😂
Yeah, since I am off work today I have been busy updating my apps on the App Store & noticed that @Zoom is ending support for 32-bit iOS devices. I was surprised Zoom was supporting @apple devices that (to my knowledge) Apple no longer supports.
Note: Zoom will be ending support for 32-bit iOS devices in August 2022. This will affect iPhone 5/5C and below, iPad (4th generation and below), and iPad mini 2 and below. (Zoom Support)
Hopefully users on those devices will be able to obtain a new iPhone (even old ones are not cheap).
It appears that the @staff at @tumblr decided to go with a fun app icon. I wonder if they will let premium users choose their icon the way @Twitter does (without the latter’s “seasonal” icon madness)‽
“In recent years, a mixture of religious extremism and antigovernment militant views, some of which has been associated with the American Redoubt movement, has been growing in our community,” the task force wrote in a Facebook post earlier this month. “Destroying public education and public libraries and overtaking local government are part of their efforts to impose their ideologies that exploit fear and anger and are often funded by dark money outside our community and state.”
A library board meeting in July had to be canceled over what the library board called an “increase in harassing behavior, derogative accusations and a purported threat of violence.”
This is ridiculous! Whatever happened to Matthew 28:19-20 where disciples of Christ are suppose to go out into all of the world‽ I think isolating themselves is counter to what Jesus Christ mandated.
Fortunately conservatives & liberals are teaming up to counter these extremists, who were too scared to show up in front of the cameras & defend their actions.
Note: For more info about the “American Redoubt” group, Montana Free Press has a lengthy rundown on the thoughts of these people.
Oh wow! @smule is 90% off if you pay for VIP online instead of via the App Store (I was going to subscribe on my iPhone awhile ago but it was just too expensive!). I just subscribed & you can find my profile at Smule.com/Darnell (I am not sure what I will sing yet). I am very excited! I wonder what should be my first song‽ Hmmm….
After a time consuming work week (where I worked 6 out of the 7 days) I finally get to enjoy my Birthday cake (I had to work before, during & after my birthday). It’s a little sweet (I am not a sweet tooth) but very tasty.
