      it's pretty mild. He is feeling a bit better today than yesterday so hopefully it'll be a short one too.

        I hope he gets well quickly. I'll be praying for him.

          Hey everyone. How's everyone doing today? I heard something on social media that they are banning Tarot, Astrology, and other religious practices on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook next month. My response is wow! This is crazy and unfair. I have also heard that they're also banning users for Tarot, Astrology, and other religious practices for it. Well, it just goes to so you how unfair and corrupt social media is.

            i read through the new terms. I really don't see where they got this idea from. Unless you're running a pyramid scheme, doing the readings in the nude, or using them to spew hate or make contact with minors, there's nothing in there that would indicate that that's true.

              Nude tarot readings definitely sound like something I'd do.

                  So anyway, here's the update on the tarot ban in the social media situation: It's not going to happen.

                    I have the migraine of the century. I haven't had a one this bad in so long. This is the second day I've had it and I'm supposed to start my temp job tomorrow. I might just have to postpone it till Sunday. Which will suck. I took some Torodol so hopefully it will get it resolved. What a crappy day.

                      Maybe you've been conditioned to perceive overreach and grievance even where there is none, Bart? Wouldn't be the strangest thing that's ever happened on this blue marble.

                        ...so my partner has been doing fine and testing consistently negative for 2 weeks now... Yesterday he went home from work sick, got a test. He's positive. AGAIN. It's not even been a month since he caught it last.

                          Yeah.

                          So anyway I heard that China wants to start trouble with America. They blame America for Russia attacking Ukraine. Do yourself a favor China: Shut up and mind your own business.

                            China is a rival power. Badmouthing the US sort of comes with the territory. That said, they aren't going all in on their support of Russia (yet) from the handful of articles I've seen. I won't say words are meaningless but China throwing snark is neither unexpected nor particularly dangerous. China not throwing its diplomatic and economic strength into an effort to get Russian troops withdrawn from Ukraine is a problem but I'm pretty sure that it's an expected problem.
                            life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

                            Yoda: Dark Rendezvous

                            "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

                              I don't know what is going on with Russia. From what I understand they want to get Chernobyl for the Uranium. I think at least. I also think that from what I heard Russia wants to bring back the Soviet Union. Now the Soviet Union was dissolved for a damn reason. Let's not bring that back. Russia needs to back off of Ukraine. I'm afraid we might have a World War III. The news said this is the first European war since War World II. Oh goodness, why now!

                                important distinction here. This is putin. The people of Russia in general are not for this. But Putin has spent the last decade making it pretty clear he wants the glory of the past back. No one is actually all that surprised.
                                As for Chernobyl. Russia already has nuclear power enough. What I've heard from people who know more than me is that it's more a matter of strategy. The area is big and open, good for moving large troops through, and already has established infrastructure and roads to Kiev.

                                That being said, yea it's terrifying. But take the breaking news with a grain of salt. It's bad. It's not comic book villain exploding the world bad quite yet. There's always a war. This one is just uncomfortably close.

                                As for why now? The western world is destabilized both from covid and more concious efforts. Trump was an attempt. Brexit had meddling too. It seems the hope is we'll be too busy bickering and licking our own wounds to present a united front and he'll get away with it without too much fuss. Now is the perfect time cause we're all tired.
