Inelegant “speech” (if it can be called that way) and probably a last nail in the Transatlantic alliance.
I heard that some in Canada are considering association or even joining EU. Might not be a bad idea.

These toxicmasculinists! I could not believe it they have such thin skin! They throw themselves around like some big gorillas but scratch them a little and they cry like insecure sissies!

I know, I know and I sympathise. I only wanted to point out that even more radical approaches have merits.

As a Presbyterian who served with Worldwide Ministries I must say there is something to be said about buying local! That supports local communities twice and is also more environmentally friendly.

People usually do not appreciate that even a basic collection of the handwritten Hebrew Biblical scrolls (5 books of Moses, 5 holiday scrolls - Megillot, Psalms and say Isaiah) would cost an equivalent of half a million $. Not something a small farming village could afford.

Just imagine! When I posted this prayer on FB in a comment it got hidden from the most of viewers because FB algorithm labeled it "irrelevant". Another good reason to be on BlueSky.

The problem is, that about 80% of Emerican “chtristian” so-called “evangelicals” in their megachurches actually worship their egotism and imperialism.

Facebook, Instagram etc are completely out. In this BlueSky I can occasionally post a picture.
After seeing parade of tech-bros at the inauguration I am starting to understand.

Peter, thank you. I needed such distraction from that disaster in WDC.
I am now triple grandpa and enjoying every precious moment of it. This princess is actually the middle one.
My son works for IBM research in quantum computers and more or less forbid me posting anything from our family.

Isn't it tragically funny, or funny tragic, to observe ADL more or less defending Musk's Seig Heil salute?
