Any chance you can add a women's style tee to the store?

At least the dead mouse my grandson found last week was outside. There was also a live mouse.

Re: Mousejid - Mice are so prolific and spread like a global diaspora, it is entirely possible that Mice in the Masjid could be related to a mouse in your house. In any case I doubt the mice would object to prayers from your son. Global compassion is a good way to start one's life.

love the story of your daughter and the mouse....thank you for sharing - out of the mouths of babes so much can be learned about whole of life empathy

- ground news is terrific - and Poynter offered a free class in how to research and fact-find as many sites and resources for journalists have been removed (backside Google check for journalists has been removed recently as one example...and noticing shifts in Snopes less often able to declare stories true or false....waiting for verification)

I just found Nick Paro’s site recently and followed their marathon post yesterday/today. Great to see you featured as upcoming featured guest. They had some discussion about Joe Walsh- again not necessarily on the same page - but finding common ground where it exists and applauding the opportunity to engage in open discussion - appreciated that you did the same with Joe the other day. People can be moved and things can change when the window of tolerance opens wider for these conversations.

Your 9-year-old is already making cross-cultural puns! He'll be fun to watch.

SHE! Yay! I'm delighted, and ashamed that I assumed he. When people refer to an animal as he without knowing, I find a way to say he or she in the margins. Even more important with a human!!!

Qasim. Neat "dad joke" if you speak Arabic so thanks for the translation. I have to admit that this past week has been very trying. I've been concentrating so much on what's happening in the States that I forgot what's happening here in Britain. Did you know that almost 500 people were arrested for protesting against to war in Gaza and 50% of them were old age pensioners! Then to top it off Trump INVITED a war criminal and aggressor to Alaska for a "Peace" talk! He said if Putin didn't agree to a cease fire in Ukraine at least within 5 minutes he was going to walk away. He was cloistered with him for 3 & 1/2 hrs. then let him give a speech to the press! Without any progress to even a ceasefire! Putin plays Trump sooo easily. All he has to do is repeat his claims about himself and Trump breaks out into a shit-eating grin. It was nauseating to watch. If I were Trump I'd have arrested him on the spot! Well the peace deal is bound to have been a "business deal" because what else would they have talked about. Putin is now able to claim that he is a respected member of the American business elite! That Ground News website sounds good but so far my "spider sense" works well enough and I can't afford another expense so I'll slog along without it. I did hear that Israel is using tech stuff to get a sight of people they need to kill next. I'm thinking of Palantir and their ilk. Keep well and safe and hug the kids. ('-')

Yes I mentioned the 500 arrested in an article above. It’s absurd and speaks to the greater need to organize effectively.

It's not a question of organisation Qasim. It's worse! Starmer has taken it into his head that if you protest on behalf of Gaza you are deemed a Terrorist! This is what's troubling to me. So no more protests. This has to stop! I can only lay the blame at Trumps door. He let the oligarchs in and now they OWN GOVERNMENTS EVERYWHERE! Their technology has bought them status because they supply the MP's with what should have been "confidential" data. It's what Trump and his handlers began. This is not going to end well I fear.

I started using Ground News earlier this year.... It's not perfect, but it's a hell of a lot easier than tracking all of the down on my own (which is essentially what I've been doing "since Internet"...)

Highly recommend it!

Agreed! And glad you're finding value in it.
