🔗 English tourist accused of carving name in Colosseum says he did not realise its age.
The ignorance we breed is extraordinary.
It also means that if it was brand new … he sees no problem.

🔗 Overnight shootings in Pennsylvania and Texas mar Fourth of July festivities.
I’m sorry .. What?
Mar?
To mar your 4th July festivities would be that it rained on your barbecue. Next they’ll be reporting about the ’inconvenience’.
I think Louisiana has a Dem as Governor and the rest are Rethuglicans. Just earlier today I referenced 🖇️ North Carolina sailing towards being a second Florida.
Hold that in your mind as you read that the 🔗 Decline in Budweiser Beer Sales has lead to the Closure of Two Bottle Factories in the South. … specifically the closures are in those two States. In that same article I read …
Munhall also said the closures may also be connected to a conservative boycott of Bud Light.
Which in turn got me to wondering how many conservatives in those two states helped impact those closures through the boycott are now directly jobless or will soon be suffering financially because of the inevitable knock on effect.
I think I might enter the entire Republican voting base for the Darwin Awards.
Seperately, it is increasingly clear that the Dems should just step back and watch the ‘alternative’ just self destruct.
I don’t know what’s going to come out of this moment but I do hope more people realize that human connections are still available out there. You can still set up your tiny quiet corner on the web, do your own things, and connect slowly with other people. You can still set up a forum dedicated to something you’re passionate about and create a community with 50 other people, even if Reddit turns to shit. Things can live on the web simply because enough people care about them and pour time and love into them. And that is what makes the web special.

Wasn’t the Russian military — because of poor morale, poor generalship, outdated weapons, desertions, a lack of ammunition that supposedly forced soldiers to fight with shovels, and severe supply shortages — supposed to collapse months ago? Wasn’t Putin supposed to be driven from power? Weren’t the sanctions supposed to plunge the ruble into a death spiral? Wasn’t the severing of the Russian banking system from SWIFT, the international money transfer system, supposed to cripple the Russian economy.
