Have you seen Grenfell Uncovered on Netflix? The Guardian describes it as a 'heart wrenching account of avoidable tragedy', The Independent say it's 'a raw, urgent film that pulls no punches' and The Telegraph say that 'Netflix should be commended for such sober, vital journalism'.

58 years ago today, Muhammad Ali was convicted of the criminal offence of violating the Selective Service laws by refusing to be drafted. The case was ultimately heard by the USSC and he was cleared of all charges.

How things got finally resolved is what this picture is about. Making dry, individual words’ meanings exciting and gripping drama is not easy, but also isn’t impossible.

Excellent acting, cinematography, and direction.

Highly recommended.

I have about an acre that I could fence on my property and am thinking about livestock. Need recommendations. Advice on mini-cattle, llamas, alpacas, goats, etc?

We live in the Cascade foothills on the wet side. Lots of trees. I'd love to get a donkey but they can't handle the lush grass we have here and would require a lot of hay.

Dear Fedi friends, may I ask you a favor?

I would really appreciate it if you could boost this message. I have created a French version of my Fedi promo video - and a French landing page – that I hope can spread far and wide in the Francophone world:

Powell: "What we're waiting for to reduce rates is to understand what will happen with really the tariff inflation... everyone that I know is forecasting a meaningful increase in inflation in coming months from #tariffs, because somebody has to pay for them... some of it will fall on the consumer"

@RickiTarr I grew up in several countries - met people of all types - and it was so clear that people are people. And that some people are luckier than others. I haven't ever really thought of socially open as left. To me it was always about human beings. Fiscally I am not as far left, but certainly I believe that we need to INVEST in people and communities.
