Did you know the government is directly asking you if you want them to regulate SUV so they kill less people, especially children?
"We seek to address the many U.S. variants and other models built upon uniquely American platforms.
This includes essentially the entire pickup truck and large SUV segments."
Take control back from car makers and pro-SUV by giving your feedback here⬇️ (and don't hesitate to retoot, thank you!).

Look, if Trump wins, everything's gonna be fine. Not much is going to really change for you in your day to day life let's be honest. I mean, as long as you're white, pretty much nothing will change.
As long as you're white and male. Because let's face it, women aren't getting their bodily autonomy back under a Trump presidency. But as long as you're white and male, things should be fine.
As long as you're white, male, and cisgender I mean. God help you if you're trans. Trump has promised to make your existence illegal and probably will on day one. But that's it. As long as you're white, cisgender and male, it'll be just fine.
As long as you're straight too. Trump is definitely going to try to outlaw gay marriage again, and according to Project 2025, wants to try to get sodomy laws back on the books. But that's it. As long as you're a white, cisgender, straight man, nothing is going to change.
And also Christian. Again, that Project 2025 stuff comes back here. Muslim bans, atheism bans, not to mention a whole slew of antisemitic nonsense. But that's all. As long as you're a white, straight, cisgender Christian man, you'll be fine.
Uh, and by Christian I mean specifically evangelical Christian, obviously. You better not have any heretical ideas about God like this crap about loving thy neighbor and feeding the hungry and clothing the homeless. That's the sort of idea that'll get you in trouble in Trump's America. But as long as you're a white, straight, cisgender, evangelical Christian man, you'll be fine.
Oh, and this really goes without saying but don't be a dirty fuckin liberal, obviously. Trump has said he considers liberals the "enemy within", and that they're a bigger threat than China and North Korea. He said he wants to "fix" liberals using the "National Guard or maybe the military". So, you know, that's not good. But as long as you're a white, heterosexual, cisgender, evangelical Christian Republican man, everything will be juuuuuust fine don't you worry.
Also it wouldn't hurt to be rich.

Ok, as promised here's Wordpress, very lightly modified to use SQLite as a backing store instead of MySQL.
You don't need to stand up a database, run a big machine or really much of anything, this is perfectly happy on the smallest VM you can find.

She's ravenous.
Then she won't eat.
Then she tries to eat the Retriever's food. Now she will only eat her breakfast when it's next to the Retriever. Not her dinner though. She wants her dinner other side of the kitchen next to the water dish. Ah well. Whatever makes the old gal happy. 😄

You know I love you, @thunderbird, but I was certain I had a big, ugly smudge on my monitor for a second there. 
Oh noooooo. If you report this on bugzilla.mozilla.org and shoot me the bug number, I do my best to bump this to the team!
(And trust me, this typist just got her first pair of bifocals. We get the challenges that come with experienced eyes!)
I hadn't really thought of it in terms of a *bug*, but you know, it *is* awfully hard to see.
I don't have time right now to grab the nightly and go through the proper bug reporting procedure, but if I get a chance to tomorrow, I'll let you know.
Thanks again! :)
