@P4ulin_Kbana I'm a good parent. The kids are with us all the time, if they were doing something they weren't supposed to I'd know. Honestly, I tink I'd rather they be doing something nuferious than watching annoying kids videos, alas they prefer to watch the later too often watching other kids play scream and play with toys that we already bought that they never play with.

@cupcakezealot why is WWE paying them? Usually the broadcasters pays the content creator. Did I miss something?

 

They are probably right,

“Wayne Disposal is a Subtitle C landfill that is highly engineered with multiple safety measures in place and frequent inspections...It’s probably vast overkill, but that’s okay

but getting ahead of the OMGosh! this is fine memegreatlakesnow.org/2024/08/sout… @michigan

@GeekFTW sounds good, I just wonder if there will be anything new that us smarks don't already know.

@GeekFTW when I first started following lucha CMLL was awful, but they seem to have really improved as of late. Certainly brining in more Gringos, which may be my bias showing.

@LEVI TPM is f'n annoying. Remember when back in the day the Free Software movement was actually about sharing everything, including getting people to not use passwords.

@Infynis OK I edited the OP to remove the preview and the link is now there used to work so that when I included it you'd get a hyperlink to the webpage from the title in the lemmy post, but something appears to have broke between lemmy and friendica federation.

@piccolo well sure, but "Communism with Chinese characteristics" is a line that the CCP has used to control the working class in mainland China for decades.

@GeekFTW there are so many things we should be learning here, and it not about two muscle bound dignises from the 1980s.

So, Ventura tried to get Hulk Hogan on board.

However, Hogan, being a close pal of Vince McMahon or someone who wants to be in the good books of McMahon, leaked Ventura’s plan to him. McMahon thus got to know of Jesse’s move and called him the next day.

yeah don't do that. The bosses lacky should be the last of the workers to know. If you don't know who your bosses lackies are, you need to start over and figure that out before you even saw the U word.

“The next day I go home, my phone rings. It’s Vince. [He says] ‘What the? Union?’ I said, Vince, ‘I’m not talking about just fighting you.’ This was 1980s, I said ‘Right now I pay $5,000 a year for health care for my family. If we had a union, I might only have to pay $1250 because there’s strength in numbers.’ Ventura said.

You NEVER talk to your boss about your organizing plan. If he gets wind you distract to something else.

This is like basic organizing stuff guys!

@anytimesoon Why do you want some computer recommending music for you? Wouldn't you rather your friends and shit? #FunkWhale

@goatsarah @Coskii @True is there a particular case about the muppets I am unaware of?

 

of course what Miller misses is that all of this government oversight really messes with the actual price of water. I for one suspect water is far greater value than the capitalists claim candgnews.com/news/miller-advo…

 

Republicans and Democrats qualify for the ballot automatically. The West campaign did the hard work by collecting over 25,000 signatures of Michigan voters attesting they think their neighbors should have a right to vote for him, but the SOS denies that because an official in Colorado didn't dot her i's correctly. freep.com/story/news/politics/…

 

Pope Francis Center (PFC) today begins a new era for ending chronic homelessness in Detroit with the opening of its Bridge Housing Campus, a $40 million facility that provides comprehensive transitional services under one roof.

Born out of a desire to address the underlying reasons people live on the streets, the Bridge Housing Campus is the culmination of decades of PFC’s experience, research and dedication to helping the chronically homeless, one of the most challenging populations to serve.

“Putting people in a house or apartment before addressing issues such as substance abuse or mental health doesn’t work for everybody,” said Fr. Tim McCabe, SJ, PFC president and CEO. “Our facility is a game-changer in how it allows those experiencing homelessness to have agency in their own healing. They decide how they want to progress, while we give them the support necessary to chart a better path in life.”

The 60,000 square-foot Bridge Housing Campus sits on 5.3 acres of land in Detroit’s Core City neighborhood. In addition to 40 furnished studio apartments, the facility features a gymnasium, commercial kitchen, free medical and dental clinic, library and classrooms, barbershop, and space for family gatherings and special events. A unique feature: heated sidewalks and an overhang outside the building for those not yet ready to make their way indoors.

Residents will have access to a range of social services including substance abuse rehabilitation, mental health assistance, and job training and computer classes. When they are ready, residents will transition to permanent housing while still receiving any support they need from PFC and its partners.

“Fr. Tim and the Pope Francis Center have done a great job working to create a better future for our most vulnerable residents,” said Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan. “The Bridge Housing Campus will be another example of how Detroit and its partners are creating pathways from homelessness to affordable housing.”

Michigan House Speaker Joe Tate, a Detroit native who represents the 10th House District, said PFC’s comprehensive approach will set residents up for future success. “Having the full suite of wraparound services is a critical piece to making sure people have the ability to be housed,” he said.

Financial support for the Bridge Housing Campus comes from a variety of sources, with the majority being contributed by private foundations and corporations. The Julia Burke Foundation in Northern California contributed $13 million, the single largest donation. Other major funders include:

  • J. Addison and Marion M. Bartush Family Foundation
  • City of Detroit
  • Ford Motor Company
  • Lear Corporation
  • Magna Corporation
  • Midwest Province of the Society of Jesus
  • Piston Group
  • The Pulte Family Charitable Foundation
  • State of Michigan

The Bridge Housing Campus is located at 2915 West Hancock Street, Detroit. PFC staff are working to determine the first group of residents. Plans are for them to move in late June, although that may change if the selection process takes longer.

The Bridge Housing Campus will also double as PFC’s new headquarters. PFC will continue to operate the day center and shelter where it started in 1990 and now serves more than 200 guests a day. The center is located at 438 Saint Antoine Street, Detroit, next to Sts. Peter and Paul Jesuit Church.

Background:

Located in the heart of downtown Detroit, the Pope Francis Center provides vital services to the city’s homeless. On an average day, we welcome nearly 200 guests and provide them with nutritious meals, showers, laundry and access to doctors, dentists, lawyers, housing providers, and job training through our free clinics. We have been serving Detroit’s most vulnerable citizens since 1990, and we are committed to eradicating chronic homelessness in our city. @michigan @christianity

If you’ve ever been to WI and driven 94 south from Milwaukee to Chicago, you’ve see the sign below and done your best Beavis and Butthead, snickering at it.

But the park is named for Major Richard Bong, and he was a WWII war hero, with 40 confirmed Jap kills.

"To churn out the robocalls, Wohl and Jacobs sought a Black voice actress to make the recording, which they called their “Black robo.” The call falsely claimed that personal information used on mail-in ballots could lead to arrests for outstanding arrest warrants or be used to collect unpaid credit card debts. The calls also falsely warned that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention could use the information to track people for mandatory vaccines. "
