May, and among the miles of leafing,
blossoms storm out of the darkness—
windflowers and moccasin flowers. The bees
dive into them and I too, to gather
their spiritual honey.

Firehouse style propaganda. A steady intensive stream of misinformation which occupies opponents (that’s a lie!) but strengthens the message with the base. They do it so often people can’t right the wrong fast enough before the next set comes. Saps time & energy away from telling our message.

Yes, he will say New Jersey was stolen. He will also say this about battleground states he loses. And other states he will probably throw in for good measure. To him, every state is in play, because he can lie about his chances in any of them.
08:47 AM - May 13, 2024
My gravest concern is the creation of the new great lie - New Jersey is in play for Trump. When he loses there will he say election 2024 was stolen? Is this the new game?

11:23 PM - May 12, 2024Accuracy Alert!
The claim, "Accuracy test," appears to refer to numerous different styles and applications of accuracy tests, spanning from typographical skills, such as mouse and typing accuracy games and professional speed tests, to more technical realms, including machine learning model accuracy evaluations, diagnostic tests in microbiology (e.g., COVID-19), and election auditing procedures. Due to the vast domain differences in the provided sources, the compilation does not support a singular cohesive conclusion around the topic of "accuracy test." Therefore, the claim is neither exclusively true nor false: instead, it introduces a vast topic that embraces various aspects of precision across different fields of study and aspects of daily life. It seems the key similarity is that all these tests aim to evaluate the precision or correctness of certain processes or skills, regardless of the sphere in which these operate.

“Instead of pursuing endless growth, it is time to pursue wellbeing for all people as part of a thriving world, with policymaking that is designed in the service of this goal. This results in a very different conception of progress: in the place of endless growth we seek a dynamic balance”

We need to stop perpetuating ageism. There is no data to back up the assumption that older folks are neither innovative or productive - and your argument is not substantiated by saying “as a whole”. These falsehoods do not serve anyone.

Su. Ho. @SuHoDjirikartupIn lieu of a #DailyPictureTheme for 13 May during DPT’s hiatus, here’s another #flower from my photo collection 😁
This is the aptly named boomerang triggerplant (Stylidium eriopodum).
#wildflowersofwesternaustralia #wheatbelt09:45 PM - May 12, 2024![A small plant covered in uniquely shaped pale yellow flowers. The flower has two curved petals that resemble boomerangs, and two smaller petals. The inner part of the petals is cream with a radiating spray of red before the dominant colour of pale yellow. A yellow “trigger” curves over the two small petals.
DYK Triggerplants are sensitive to touch. An insect landing on the flower causes the "trigger" to activate and close, trapping the insect. The struggling insect is covered in pollen. The trigger resets after a few hours.
The plant is a borderline carnivore (protocarnivore) because it not only can it trap an insect for pollination but there are sticky glands on the stem containing an enzyme that can digest the insect.
But don’t be concerned! The plants are small, forming clumps about 15 centimetres across, and the flowers are less than a centimetre wide.
I photographed this plant near Corrigin.]()

Fourth, despite the opposition's best efforts, they have failed to truly break us. The electoral defeats keep mounting and their few victories are Pyrrhic ones...and they KNOW IT.
So all they have left is scaring us or pissing us off by telling us what they'd like to do to us.
