@CitizenWald Still thinking about it, the more you dig, the worse it gets. I used to get a small patriotic twinge driving by Naval Weapons Station Yorktown, just own the road. Then I found out that the U.S. government invoked eminent domain to destroy a prosperous Black community to establish part of it.

@StillIRise1963 Using the terminology used by the enemies of something to refer to that something (e.g., "'pro'-life" for "misogynistic fascist movement to deny a woman the right to control her own body and life") to argue against it only reinforces the enemies.

@CitizenWald Being the Bible Seminary was only founded in 2010 it feels a lot like institutional publicity hunting regardless questions around the significance of the discovery.

@twizzt Well, I've had my own photographs purloined, so I feel you angst. But this image has already gone viral. That said, I did some spelunking, alt text now includes credit, link to article about the photo, and link to wildlife and landscape photographer Joe Neely's site to buy a copy ("no relationship with..."). The full image is even more striking.

@twizzt P.S. Don't call it 'garbage.' I appreciate the chip on your shoulder, but you're not persuading anyone using this approach.

@twizzt @alexwild Christ, I'm not hiding, I'm making sure it's associated WITH THE IMAGE. I bookmarked in my browser so when we eventually move we can order a copy. Best I can do. It's not a perfect world. Feel free to reply to my post with the alt text content.

@twizzt @alexwild Your chip is ascribing pernicious motives. IMHO.

@stux There is actually an explanation. That care isn't universal is a separate problem.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/doula-explains-why-hospital-charged-parents-39-to-hold-newborn-baby-in-viral-post/

@grammargirl Your accessibility plug-in should not be throwing up. (!)Aside from the creation/modification date, you should add a retrieved date, since web sites change or die over time. When you do reference a page, you should make sure to save a copy at archive.org, even if it's there already, so there's a copy there which matches or is at least close to your retrieval date.

@LeftistLawyer @locksmithprime Were moving to the outskirts of a town whose population in the 2020 census was 1,955. Many multiples of our soon to be adopted town are killed every year by guns. And if we look at the numbers, suicides outnumber homicides. Guns make it far too easy to take a life WHATEVER the motivation or "justification."

@LeftistLawyer @locksmithprime Added children's deaths up through the age of 18. Note, it peaked at 5,833 in 1994, the year the assault gun ban was passed. You can see deaths have been rising steadily since 2000 and accelerating since Trump.

When the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court feels obligated to write in a decision that it's not as bad as the other Justices say,... well, that says it all.
