Happy #mastoSunday fediversers. 🙏🌞
Call me a boor (I don't care😉), but I must praise Netflix's #KPopDemonHunters musical #animation as a viscerally emotive joyride, powered by its magnificent #kpop songs and visuals. I suspect that this film may even make Andrew Lloyd Webber sit up and worry for his #musical creations🤭!

As long as there are sufficient masses of #Americans who will #vote in or ceaselessly #follow these selfish, lying, narcissistic #billionaire #parasites into the highest #political offices, these shenanigans will continue unabated. Acceptable? 🧐

Scorecard: How Musk and DOGE could end up costing more than they save

Rather than set government straight, Elon Musk is leaving Washington with the federal budget all cattywampus. Deficit spending is increasing, not waning, and there is a growing school of thought that his “efficiency” effort could end up costing the government as much as or more than it saved.

@[email protected] Isn't it clear as #mastosunDay now, that "lobbying" has practically become a euphemism for legalized bribery? And, that #bigmoney lobbies have finally succeeded in gaming #US presidential #politics? If so, it probably comes as no surprise to see "legalized" extortion, corruption, etc shenanigans during tRump2.0, ain't it? The existential question imho is: when and how the US comes back to true #universalsuffrage, ungamed by $$$? Maybe not in my lifetime, sadly.🤔

'We cannot serve money': Singapore family with 4 children live on single income without tuition or travel

SINGAPORE — The four Ong children, aged three, five, eight and 10, do not go for tuition, travel or shop for clothes or toys — hand-me-downs from neighbours serve them just fine. They share bedrooms and have their meals in their five-room flat. Weekends are spent at the parks, having picnics and playing Frisbee. This simple lifestyle makes the family's...

Good #Sunday dear #tuskers 🌞
May we all revel in our unique experiences whether mundane or significant, consider others and our thoughts openly, and embrace life's diversity and surprises joyfully with confidence.🙏
Because, conversely, when ideology drives one's thoughts, becomes calcified in one's mind, one may have become another talking, walking fossil, and, if left unchecked, our public squares may degenerate into tyrannized ruins, like that square we #Xited from..
