There is a significant group of conservative Catholics who view any change as a departure from the One True Faith™. You can still find churches that do not follow the modernizations from the Second Vatican Council, which happened back in the 1950s. Pope Francis was seen as a radical by many of these people.

Are you going to tell us the screenname?

[–] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm referring to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and its direct sequel Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. A third movie to finish the trilogy is stuck in development hell.

If you haven't seen these two, I highly recommend them.

Yeah, those numbers are US-centric. It isn't surprising since the post is targeting a US audience.

The numbers seem a bit off, but not by a huge amount. A little Googling suggests that California produces 80-85% of American wine, and about 75% of American fruits and nuts.

I bet Spiderman. If the third Spiderverse movie ever comes out it'll be full woke.

I'll bet the lane is there purely to satisfy some requirement for including non-car infrastructure, regardless of whether it makes sense in this particular location. It's the same way we get fun bike lanes like these:

I wish the chart included more countries. I found the source data at Pew Research, and they only include 24 countries, unfortunately.

In the good timeline, this is how all the states would have been named.

Juneteenth Flag (sh.itjust.works)

I'm posting a day late for Juneteenth. I did not know this flag existed until I saw it flying outside a local government office.

I took yesterday off work to hit a new spot! It was hot, dry, rugged, and awesome.

 

English inscription:

To the memory of the victims shot into the Danube by Arrow Cross militiamen in 1944–45.
Erected 16 April 2005.

And some context from Wikipedia:

The Shoes on the Danube Bank (Hungarian: Cipők a Duna-parton) is a memorial erected on 16 April 2005, in Budapest, Hungary. Conceived by film director Can Togay, he created it on the east bank of the Danube River with sculptor Gyula Pauer to honour the Jews who were massacred by fascist antisemitic Hungarian militia belonging to the Arrow Cross Party in Budapest during the Second World War. They were ordered to take off their shoes (shoes were valuable and could be stolen and resold by the militia after the massacre), and were shot at the edge of the water so that their bodies fell into the river and were carried away.

 
 

If you aren't familiar with Band, it's a tool often used for coordinating kids' sports teams, school bands, and similar small groups. You invite people to a private workspace which contains a post feed, events calendar, file repository (for permission forms or injury waivers or whatever), and a chat interface for 1-on-1 or group chats among workspace members.

Is anyone familiar with a similar tool that can be self-hosted?

My kids' groups have tried using a mix of chat/SMS, email, and Google Drive in the past, but fractured communication leads to massive confusion. It's really nice to have all group communication in one place.
