If God had really not wanted "race mixing," we wouldn't be interfertile, and the so-called races would actually behave more like incompatible species. If He really wanted us to stay separate, travel between continents would be functionally impossible, not something that's always happened.

So, that's three different Trumpaganda ads out now that I've seen. "Love Me," "New Golden Age," and "Demolish the Deep State." This is SANEWASHED Trump, and it's still deranged.

never forget Charles Darwin Being Relatably Whiny Day

People have been dropping their phones in the toilet since before there were phones.
A nearly intact medieval wax notebook found in Germany still bears readable Latin notes, offering a rare glimpse into the daily life of a wealthy 13th- or 14th-century merchant.

Yes, there is an official Scooby Doo Transformer. The Mystery Machine transforms into a robot that can rotate through heads based on the four kids, and a box of Scooby Snacks turns into "Automutt". www.eyrie.org/~dvandom/BW/...

When you can't get the drunk drivers out from behind the wheel, making sure everyone has their seat belts on may not be enough, but it's better than not doing so.
I had a conversation with a DEI professional in another country last week, and y'all know I'm a critic of DEI as a framework, but she said something while discussing where the US is on the path to genocide:
The goal of DEI work is to prevent genocidal ideas from taking root.

Of COURSE Banksy sneaked out in a bright pink boat.
So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people.

Always fun when something stops working correctly, and the expert who comes to fix it can't figure out how it ever was working correctly in the first place, it was never supposed to work that way in the first place, so the best they can do is a kludge to get it working most of the way correctly.
