Rabbit Sucked Into United Airlines Plane Sparks Shocking Engine Fire
The terrifying moment caused "a giant fireball," prompting everyone to panic, one passenger said.Jazmin Tolliver (HuffPost)
First time I've ever heard of THAT happening.
Well .. when ramp agents can get sucked in while the engine is in idle...
Imagine what's going on at full takeoff power ;)
The fact that no one ever debates what the definition of a βmanβ is says it all about the recent UK Supreme Court judgement.
Transphobia is deeply rooted in misogyny.
Itβs the idea that women should look a certain way, based on sexist ideas of female sexuality through the male gaze, and should act a certain way, based on a patriarchal belief system.
Itβs the idea women are only good for procreation and satisfying men sexually.
Thatβs why we never hear about trans men.

How old am I?
I'm so old I remember when Google search provided more value than surveillance advertising.
I'm so old I remember when an operating system was not considered an advertising platform.
I'm so old I remember when "Artificial Intelligence" was a serious enquiry filled with brilliant people, and not a scam machine populated by sleazebags.
I'm so old I remember when "user" didn't mean "product".
I'm so old I remember when "corporation" didn't mean "person".

I distinctly remember someone telling me about this "Wikipedia" thing and me thinking it was the stupidest idea I'd ever heard of - who's going to write stuff for a free encyclopedia? And who the hell is going to use it? How could it ever grow to be a significant size?
Yeah OK I was just a teensy bit wrong about that.
"Nah, you're just prompting it wrong."
"How do I go about prompting it the right way?"
"You really need to know the subject you're asking about. Then you can help it avoid making mistakes."
"If I know the subject deeply myself, why am I asking an AI about it?"
"It helps to train the AI."

In my honest opinion, cities on the western side of Oregon, and maybe as far south as down to Salem, it's safer. Outside of that, and especially once you get closer to the side of the state where the eastern Oregon counties want to join "Greater Idaho"? Maybe not so much.
Also, if you do visit Portland, I recommend you stay out of Downtown. Especially Old Town and at night.
Open air drug markets. Fentanyl. We have ads on local radio telling people to carry naloxone nasal spray in case of accidental exposure on public transit.
@wolfinpdx include Eugene/Springfield in fairly liberal. College towns like Corvallis and La Grande lean liberal. Bend is neutral left.
Even as far south as Florence on the coast I have seen men turn away when some guy brings up his right leaning politics.
Any place where people live in cities people have some empathy. The angry men are people who stayed in dead end rural areas to survive off family property.
I am glad there are exceptions.
I always think in terms of personal risk. I have since 9/11.
I was in the streets during Dubya's administration. Old habits kicked in during Trump's first term.
Then the pandemic happened. I got sick and have been out of work. Maybe long COVID. Can't get a diagnosis. With Trump in office a second time, I am now surviving. I would be homeless without my partner.
We have friends who are at risk because of Republican politics. I worry for them. I would say if you don't need to come to the United States, just don't. Things are accelerating.
Find other ways to resist. Support those of us who are in hostile territory from outside our borders. It may be safer where you are. You can effect change from a position of greater freedom and strength.
@wolfinpdx I am in the same boat you are, only a little worse. I had COVID pneumonia and coughing for 4 months, lung pain for 9, and lasting damage that I took another year and a half to get over. I lost sensitivity to heat and cold, so my body didn't sweat enough, and I still get very cold below 73Β°F. My internal thermostat is burned out.
As of now I have burned through all my retirement, my savings, and I am trying to sell a small boat. I am 52, and with the gap nobody wants..
@wolfinpdx ...to higher me, for anything.
AND I live alone in an apartment, with no partner. I am 2 weeks and $1,000 away from being homeless. And the economic uncertainty this administration is projecting to businesses might be the deciding factor. And of course all aid for desperate people is being slashed.
This phone I bought 4 years ago and the annual plan I renewed 6 months ago while on a temp job is the only way I am communicating.
I am not in a position of strength.
London.
