I am eternally grateful for cbc. Unfortunately I think that a lot of America’s issues are … what you are seeing in comments.

News continues to be terrible so here are our latest lambs. A black fleeced ram and a multi colored ewe. This was taken minutes after their birth. We are proud to raise Gulf Coast Natives, a critically endangered sheep breed.

Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)

This is an atrocity.

If my mom had worked I think we would have been more comfortable, but they made choices…

We were one of the only families I knew who lived on 1 salary. We were poor. My dad had a good job (PhD and at John’s Hopkins apl), and we ran a farm that fed us. In the summer we worked all day to grow and preserve food. It wasn’t idyllic. $ was tight, and I rarely had new anything.

β€œβ€¦about the 1873 massacre in Colfax, La., where dozens of Black men were murdered by a mob of former Confederates and Ku Klux Klan members.

ChatGPT had deemed it β€œD.E.I.” Mr. Fox said he agreed. β€œBecause it focuses on exclusively anti-Black violence, which is a race,” he said.”

maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living

I really find his entire demeanor typical of a bro that knows nothing, but has been entitled by a set of conditions to believe that he is the big decision maker. It is my hope that polite society black lists all these aholes, but they will probably fail up.

I love that @modernlanguage.bsky.social has posted the depositions of the DOGE bros who gutted the National Endowment for the Humanities. All part of the lawsuit the MLA, AHA, and ACLS have filed against the federal government.

Happy International Women's Day!

Remember, when in doubt, do as Stagecoach Mary Fields did, and either headbutt, shoot it, set it on fire, or let your horses trample it.

More lambs! Another two sets of twins including a pitch black ram lamb. Also featuring an appearance by dad, who doesn’t seem that impressed that he now has 13 offspring at the ripe old age of 9 months!

Israeli attacks on UNIFIL peace keepers tonight. Irish service men were not directly hit, but they aided their counterparts from Ghana. This will further deteriorate Irish Israel relations.

🧡Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

At least 13 hospitals and health facilities hit during attacks on Iran, WHO says Global health body investigating reports that four medics are among the 1,230 people killed in Iran since start of war

The world health organization has found that the US and Israel have bombed several health facilities in Iran.

We have also bombed two ADDITIONAL schools this week, not counting the girls schools earlier. Making that 4 in total.

We are the bad guys in this illegal war.

Perry: This St. Patrick’s Day, don’t forget Irish music’s anti-fascist roots Dropkick Murphys, the iconic Irish American punk band, are headlining a free block party March 6 near where Alex Pretti was killed by immigration agents, contributing columnist David M. Perry writes.

NEW β€œWe’re celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You can’t keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, it’s ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.”
