Andrea is not a gendered name so I presume they’re flagging anyone who changes their first name.

> The name Andrea is a boy's name of Italian origin meaning "strong and manly".

Q. In the top of our story, we talk about the rally you attended in Managua and a wire report at the time said that there were anti-American chants from the crowd.
The United States at that time - I don't know how much you know about this β€” was actively supporting the Contras to overthrow the government. So that there's anti-American sentiment? I remember that, I remember that event very clearly.
You do recall hearing those chants? I think the wire report has them saying, "Here, there, everywhere, the Yankee will die." hey were fighting against American -- Huh huh--yes, what is your point?
I wanted to β€”β€”
Are you shocked to learn that there was anti-American sentiment?
My point was I wanted to know if you had heard that.
I don't remember, no. Of course there was anti-American sentiment there. This was a war being funded by the United States against the people of Nicaragua. People were being killed in that war.
Do you think if you had heard that directly, you would have stayed at the rally?
I think Sydney, with all due respect, you don't understand a word that I'm saying.

Why isnβ€˜t this one of the featured stories about Iran right now in US media?

I mean, I have my theories.

It does to me but I am not an expert bee identifier but iNaturalist and other sites do have bee experts who will ID them. I think Rusty Patch zone does not extend to Colorado.

That might be a Bombus huntii instead, but does have similar markings. There are so many types of bees!

I saw a bumble buzzing around my daffodils yesterday. Unfortunately they don’t have much nectar and it’s too early for my native plants to be in bloom.

Yes! Pretzeling theological justifications for their own chosen lifestyle while seeking to deny others any lifestyle choice.

And some, I assume, are good people. πŸ™ƒ

Their rise in numbers and influence over the last many decades is fueled by increasing multiculturalism and acceptance of minority lives and perspectives, as well as a more connected globe that threatens the idea that they alone have unlocked the one secret of how to live life.

That’s my take.

Evangelicalism pre-dates the CIA and many Evangelical churches are grassroots. There are loads of them in politics β€” this administration in particular.

They seek unconditional love from God but must convert people to their thinking, so find it difficult to love those with alternative perspectives.

The Venn diagram of people who want to spend their time geolocating things and people who are not okay dropping decimals is pretty close to a circle.

I grew up in one. It’s not that deep. They don’t exist because of a CIA project. I don’t disagree with your other assertions.

And yes, they are crazy and are rooting for all of this.

Was telling someone yesterday I think we have had more days this winter with a high temp of 55+ than not.

a child wearing a hat that says respect on it Alt: Meme of a small child standing on a seat at a baseball game wearing a hat that say β€œRESPECT.” (actually says β€œRE2PECT.”) and lifting the hat off of their head. This meme is often used as a show of respect/gratitude.

Thank you! You are an inspiration!

Closest real answer is probably Turn Into by Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Can fit with a wide range of emotions for me.

Had Morning Glory by Oasis as my alarm for a while. Now anytime I hear helicopter blades I feel an urge to get to my phone before the guitar kicks in.

You’ll get several replies from people who genuinely do not comprehend how deranged a significant chunk of the general public actually is.

My kids spend β€œfree time” at school watching YouTube shorts on their district-issued Chromebooks. 🫠

I am not saying laptops are the only problem but I do think Google is happy with their investment in ”education”, if you know what I mean.
