Dear all, moving over to blue sky, @merikeblofield.bsky.social. Would love to connect with you there!

I love this country. I’ve mailed in my ballot. Now, I just send vibes of love, empathy and respect, which I hope to God will win the day and counter all the hate

Meanwhile in Germany the exact opposite, despite the need Germany has for immigrants

@drvolts Hi David, I happen to follow you -enjoy your posts!- and live in Hamburg. If there is anything I can do, including picking up some nice good once you can eat again, let me know!!

... fully opening me up, exposing me to all the risks I'd avoided by laparoscopic surgery (not to mention kicking off a *much* longer recovery process). For whatever reason, they decided to hold off & just change up the antibiotics.

I had to run out of the customs line to go to a bathroom, where I spent several minutes sitting on a toilet, sweating, with nothing happening. I also puked several times, though nothing of substance, just green bile.

Germans really don’t see themselves as an immigrant country, which is such a missed opportunity. Germans need immigration, and lots of it

@dziblatt @ProfGuyCharles @joekennedy @EJDionne Do post if there will be similar events in Berlin/Germany

Q: What specific legislation will you commit to to make child care affordable? Trump: Well, I would do that and we're sitting down, you know, I was, somebody, we had Marco Rubio and my daughter, Ivanka… But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I'm talking about that because the child care is, child care couldn't, you know, there's something you have to have it in this country, you have to have it... I want to stay with child care… So we'll take care of it. Thank you

This not satire 🤣🤣 I’ve never mentioned in a CV any of the jobs I had from 14 years on till finishing college in a post-college job application

España y la UE no reconocen los resultados de las elecciones en #Venezuela Mientras el régimen de Nicolás #Maduro no publique las actas electorales, #Espana no podrá "reconocer el resultado de las #elecciones", dijo el gobierno de Pedro Sánchez. /rr p.dw.com/p/4jqGk

Many Americans are baffled by "Right to Roam." It's a very different approach to the bundle of rights associated with landownership. In the green countries you can basically walk around anywhere other than someone's yard. Farms and woods are "owned" but not "private."
