Wow. No sooner than I post my case for the advantages of Friendica over Mastodon than I find a post by a Diasporian that I find important enough to boost beyond Diaspora. @karlaurebach posted a link to the Guardian story about the military parade planned for Trump's b'day, but also said the following and I quote: """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Anyone remember Tienanmen Square and Tank Man (who stood in front of a tank to block it)?
Well, here's an opportunity here in the US to celebrate Tank Man.
FFOTUS is going to have an imperial triumph parade - tanks and army brigades, airplanes, and gawd knows what else.
Would it not be interesting if the crowds burst through the barriers to re-enact Tank Man?
(This time we can fully anticipate that FFOTUS will order the troops to shoot - it will be a sad day when Chinese troops have been shown to have more respect for citizens than US troops.)
(And I've heard it suggested that in Lafayette Park - across from where the presidential viewing stand will be - that the crowd do a mass Brave Heart present

Here's a treat for all you folks who could remember as far back as "Hennesy". The main character of "The Adventures of Tugboat Annie" evoked a lot of "well I never!" reactions being a nonstereotypical woman. Yes, it was spun off a film. Well, Never Have You Ever realized that there was a Captain Bullwinkle before there was moose and squirrel, huh.
Previously, I tooted a tribute to #Canada but neglected to add THIS reason for thanking Canada for being Canada. It just didn't come to my mind until just right now that I enjoyed watching this, as well as admiring the character besides. "The Adventures of Tugboat Annie" as a Canadian production showing on U.S. TV sure explains a lot of background on Bullwinkle the Moose and Frostbite Falls. Again, I salute you, and add Red Green while I'm at it. Quando omni flunkus moritati.
I am not a antivaxer. Though I do believe that choice is important. It is often found that freedom requires a level of risk. If we trade our freedom for security then we will eventually find that we have neither.

This is from a private run school so it might be okay. I had to move away from Texas because they wanted to teach my children mythology in lieu of science. I would have to check the training of the LLM to be sure it was adequate. I have a big issue with having religion shoved down children's throats. A person's religious choices should be a choice they make not one enforced on them.
@Unus Nemo Oklahoma is in the same boat, but it's got an active Satanist church to keep the fear of the lord in those who want to evangelize. I expect they'll be mentioned in the arguments before the Supreme Court about that Catholic charter school getting public money. Texas would benefit from a similar org, IMHO.
Ed Martin, President Trump's pick for U.S. Attorney for D.C., is distancing himself from a Jan. 6 rioter known for antisemitic views. NPR's reporting raises questions about his ties to the rioter.

Sorry, but no--ICE alone isn't the #AmericanGestapo because you'd be leaving out the armed branch of Homeland Security which has been executing against American citizens and exchange students. You could also call them Stasi.
This is an Appreciation of #Canada post because I just went digging into some saved stuff from eons ago and ran across a CBC personality I used to enjoy listening to regularly. I'm not talking about Ian McFarland, I'm talking about Terry O'Reilly--when I was tuning in, his show was called "Age of Persuasion". I do not like that he's on X, though. I just miss his old show, just like I miss #VinylCafe of the dearly departed Stuart McLean.
Of course the States have benefited from Canadian comedians more famous, But there's simply no substitution for the Royal Canadian Air Farce or Canadia 2056. None whatsoever.
Canada's musicians are underrated and underappreciated, and I put forward both Nancy White and Anne Mortifee as cases in point. I salute you, Canada! May all your elbows stay up!
My old stompin' grounds, and at this posting, the tornado warning should have expired. I remember when a tornado tore through the middle of Marion in the 1980s.

This map should have a prominent asterisk by Turkey and by the "Unspecified" nations. Erdogan has made Turkiye de facto Sunni, and the "unspecified" is more like mixtures rather than unspecified--mention of Sufis and Salafists have been avoided.
My niece-in-law (now in the US) married a Turkish fellow and he promptly forgot he's Muslim. People need to do some sad things to survive here in the US.

Spot on. I'll go further to say that the audience that needs to see the Barbie movie are the males--BECAUSE they wouldn't get caught dead watching that movie without spouse or daughters in tow, the very attitude in dire need of significant adjustment.

10. Oh that's so cute that you're a male doctor! I really believe that boys can be almost anything they want to be.
9. You own your own business? Boy boss! Now tell the truth, who helped you start it, your mother or your wife?
8. Go home and change into something less slutty. Your suit and tie is very distracting to the women who are actually trying to work.
7. You little army men are adorable! I love your little pixie cuts and matching outfits.
6. Are you kidding? I LOVE men's sports. I watch the NBA *and* the Men's NBA. I even have a copy of Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Men's Basketball. The one with realistic jiggle physics.
5. It's so nice that your wife lets you work. I don't think it's efemulating at all. But how do you manage to balance your little job against your fatherly duty of raising a family?
4. What you don't understand about [topic] is [detail about topic he just told me].
3. You should smile more... [wait for the smile] Good boy.
2. Misandry? I didn't even notice that you're a male, honey. Get over yourself.
There was an idea forwarded during Trump 1.0 that #DACA recipients seek refuge from #deportation on an Indian #reservation and seek their sovereign protection. While I don't blame any sovereign tribe for not wanting war with The Orange One, its' a good fight to have all the way up to the Supreme Court, methinks--especially CITIZENS who have been notified to leave the country might be wise to apply for #asylum on a reservation.
In a perfect world you can just leave services running indefinitely and all is well. We do not live in a perfect world. To be sure that no memory leaks grow (assuming their could be some) I have set the services to restart everyday between 5:45am - 6:00am UTC. This will equate to around the 2:45am - 3:00am EST. In any case this is a very slow period of time for the Instance which is why I chose this time frame. Now it takes seconds for any one of the services to reload and you will really not even notice if it happens while you are doing something on the Instance. The benefits should far outweigh any deficit experienced do to the restarts.
note: In regards to memory leaks it is really only php-fpm that would needs restarting. Though restarting mariadb, php-fpm and apache (in that order) will keep the whole system fresh. Besides I needed to be sure that apache will get restarted whenever my CA cert from EncryptIt gets renewed to be sure that the new cert will be used.
Have a great day and Enjoy you stay on the Fediverse!
