Easy question. Big money wants, and needs to control the news for power and profit. Mastodon is not so easy to control.

Since no one paid attention when Putin said it, he trots out his stooge to say it.

Israel has the world’s sympathy and support but if they retaliate brutally and massively that sympathy and support will shift to the Palestinians.

It doesn’t help that big corporations promoted 100% hydrogenated Crisco as a healthy alternative to lard or the drug Thalidomide that caused horrible birth defects.
People need to be informed but many are swamped with the task of making a living and constant social “guidance”.

But will Putin’s team find it first?

Well, Herman Cain isn’t going to get covid this time.

The orange turd’s plots have Putin’s fingerprints all over them.

You don’t understand rich folk. They are giving it back to themselves - all of it, and all they can weasel out of you.

Russia ditched communism for capitalism, and yachts, and stuff.

Quality parts cost a lot of money. Capitalists hate the thought of parting with money. Your death won’t cost them anything in most cases.

Also, there are old mushroom hunters and bold mushroom hunters, but no old, bold mushroom hunters.

This is my experience so don’t rely on it: Most mushrooms won’t kill you but some will make you so sick that you wished you died. Even a small bite of the deadly Destroying Angle will most likely not kill you. Only eat a very small amount of a new-to-you mushroom because even safe ones may trigger a fatal allergic reaction, also “safe” Morel mushrooms have killed people who really, really over consumed them.
Get a real “National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms”, book and download the “Seek” app for your phone. Find a person who experienced and go slow. NEVER get careless or over confident.

At some point people on the left have to bite the bullet and run candidates from the ground up in order to get someone who has ANY chance to actually change anything. In the meantime the sane people must hold the ground against fascist authoritarians by not allowing them to get into power at all costs - this means voting for the lesser evils until someone with a chance of a snowball in hell moves into position. That is how the crazies got their man into power. Schoolboards, county officials, mayors, even dog catchers must be pushed up the ladder of power. Anything less is just blowing smoke.

It isn’t failing, Musk is failing.

My teeth were tight too. Broke even the thinnest floss but keep trying. Eventually it became easier - broke s lot too. We use those little Plackers flossers and floss while watching TV or watching birds.

You can grow stuff with too much water but it’s hard to grow stuff without water.
