KY_EnviroGuy's JournalShouldn't flint-lock muskets and pistols be the only legal weapons in the US of A?
If we all believed in constitutional originalism like some on our Supreme Court, then "arms" would mean only those arms available to citizens of the original 13 States in 1789 when the Constitution was finally ratified. That is, black powder and ball muskets and pistols.
What would Justices Thomas and Barrett say?.............
We're at a level of meanness and insanity now that should demand we revert back to only sticks and stones and even those would need to be strictly regulated.

Help celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week
Summary: https://nationaltoday.com/teacher-appreciation-week/
Teaching is one of the oldest professions in 561BC, the first private teacher in history was one of the most learned men of all time, Confucius. In Ancient Greece, there was huge value placed on educating children, and in the 1600s the Pilgrims also placed a similar emphasis on the practice.
By the 19th century, politicians began to believe that education was needed for political order, and elementary through college education was widespread and public, and the need for teachers has been growing ever since!

We made a deal that she was so teaching is not what Jill does, its who she is, like most of you who you are, what you believe. And so when we got elected the presidency and as Vice President, as well I suggested and she agreed fully that she should continue to teach. And people said, What? (Laughter.)
Well, she teaches 14 credits a semester at community college full time, and she does her job.
I think you will enjoy this video:
Thank a teacher, hug a teacher or send one a nice card. They need and deserve all the encouragement and gratitude they can get. I'm very grateful to have a smart, beautiful daugher who is an elementary school teacher and love expressing my appreciation to her often.

Just recently became a big late-life fan of The Corrs and loving every minute I can find on Y'allTube.
Kudos also to the guy playing those lovely acoustic guitar fills.

Well worth watching. One of the best, most factual and truthful reviews of the biggest global political challenge we've ever seen including wars because with this enemy, we're suffering from a long-standing slow-growing deadly global cancer.
As she says, this is a mostly invisible foe whereas in war, you at least know and can see the enemy. This foe also does not give a tinker's damn about the future of our planet.

Disinformation for profit: scammers cash in on conspiracy theories
Disinformation for profit: scammers cash in on conspiracy theoriesSome accounts claiming to support the Canada trucker protests are run by con artists abroad

Snips:
Networks of spammers and profiteers, some based as far afield as Vietnam or Romania, had set up the groups using fake or hacked Facebook accounts in an attempt to make money off of the political turmoil.
That foreign networks of social media scammers had seized on a divisive political issue may feel like somewhat of a throwback. Before investigations into Russian troll factories operations during the US presidential election and culture war conflicts over content moderation, one of the biggest challenges facing social media platforms was profiteers pushing fake news articles and spam for easy money. Hundreds of websites mimicking US news outlets pushed their content on social media, reaping ad revenue from the traffic they generated.

Disinformation for profit
It is hard to know the exact scale of the for-profit misinformation industry, researchers say, since it functions as part of an underground economy and comes in various forms. In addition to content mills and ad revenue schemes, there are also private firms across the globe that are hired to create fake engagement or push political propaganda. In 2021 alone, Facebook said it removed 52 coordinated influence networks across 32 countries that attempted to direct or corrupt the public debate for strategic goals, according to a company report on inauthentic behavior.
I am glad that Republican voters are far more gullible and likely to be scammed than our typical Democratic voters. The more money they shell out to scammers, the less available for Rethug political campaigns.
However, I'm surprised the Rethugs have a penny left to their name after all of tRump's dozens of grifts.

But it turns out, what weve learned from our biology textbooks is likely an oversimplification, and biologists at research organizations like the Allen Institute for Cell Science are working to take a more integrated and holistic view to better understand the cell and all its complexities.
We are in a new era of cell biology. For centuries, microscopes have illuminated previously invisible worlds, and the recent advancements in microscopy are no different. Breakthrough laser microscopes are not only allowing biologists to image a cell in three dimensions, but also providing the opportunity to reveal hidden patterns inside of living cells.
Find out more about this new microscopy technology capturing cells like never before and what this could mean for the next decade of cell biology on this episode of Focal Point.
My latest hobby is microscopy and I'm enjoying hell out of it, just looking at microorganisms captured from my lawn. There's an entire micro-universe on us, inside us and throughout our environment.
This video is over two years old and I would love to hear more about their recent progress.
