@ahermitforhire I was part of a large group that did just that, 53 years ago. We’ve changed over the years but this is still an awesome community. I recommend looking at the Foundation for Intentional Community (ic.org) to learn more about similar communities all over the world.

If you missed Donald Trump's press conference responding to the Supreme Court tariff decision, I offer you this recap.

A comic book panel of the Marvel villain The Hate-Monger, wearing a purple hood reminiscent of the Klan, giving a speech while surrounded by solders, one of whom holds a torch.
CAPTION: And looking down upon the crowd from his speakers' platform, the tall, masked form of The Hate-Monger stirs his listeners to a fever-pitch of unthinking emotion!
THE HATE-MONGER'S WORD BALLOON: "Those who are not with us are against us! They must be destroyed!"

[from Fantastic Four #21, December 1963, script by Stan Lee, art by Jack Kirby and George Roussos]

Trump can just go to the Tariff Shelf for refunds, right?

Trump’s tariffs were the largest tax increase in American history.

By revoking them, the Supreme Court just cut taxes more than any Republican president ever has.

@Szescstopni @almondtree I am fortunate to be living the Mastodon dream.

The dream of most people on Twitter, Instagram, and such, is to have an enormous mansion in Florida. The dream of most people on Mastodon is to have a small decent house somewhere in a forest where it's not too hot.

Kentucky, for goodness' sake.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The Kentucky Supreme Court ruled Thursday that a measure establishing public funding for charter schools is unconstitutional, affirming that state funds “are for common schools and for nothing else.”

The state’s high court ruled the “Constitution as it stands is clear that it does not permit funneling public education funds outside the common public school system,” Justice Michelle M. Keller wrote in a unanimous opinion.
