    I wonder how much was spent on all the trappings (flags, banners, posters, etc) for each of these celebrations.

    You're conflating the Twitter Files with Facebook.

    Zuckerberg was really clear about the pressure that the Biden administration put on them. And there was not much comfortable pushback from Meta AFAICT.

    Perhaps there was at Twitter, but Zuck didn't mention it at his shop.

    @jon-nyc said in Meet the new boss….:

    The twitter files revealed that twitter was comfortable pushing back when they wanted to.

    Did you listen to the Zuckerberg interview with Rogan?

    "Comfortable" is not a word that applied to the government pressure.

    @Klaus said in Daughter wants to spend 6 months at an American highschool - thoughts?:

    @Aqua-Letifer She has applied to schools in Queensland (mostly near/in Gold Coast) but since its the most popular choice it's likely that she'll have to make another choice.

    Musical Princess (remember her) lives in Brisbane.

    Sentenced:

    Evans pleaded guilty to pursuing a course of conduct amounting to harassment.

    Magistrates imposed fifteen rehabilitation sessions, 60 days of alcohol abstinence monitoring, and a two-year restraining order, the Daily Post reported.

    Suspended Sentence:

    Sharmake Abdulahi Maxamed had 52 indecent images and videos of children on his phone when it was seized by police in October 2021, shortly after he started working at George Eliot Hospital, in Nuneaton.

    Of these, 28 were classed as category A, the most extreme, and Maxamed was found to have viewed such images and videos while at work. Maxamed also used messaging app Telegram to exchange indecent images of children and to discuss violent crimes, including murder, being committed against them, a Medical Practitioners Tribunal report stated. He described these deplorable acts as “hot”, it added.

    The children were aged two months to 10 years, the report continued, and some exhibited “clear signs of distress”. A tribunal ruling on his fitness to practice medicine described his conduct as “so heinous that it was not remediable”.

    He was handed a 10 month prison sentence, suspended for two years, alongside 140 hours of unpaid work and 55 days of rehabilitation activity, when he was sentenced at Leicester Crown Court in March last year. He was also placed on the sexual offenders register for 10 years.

    His sentence was reduced because he had pleaded guilty, but the tribunal heard the forensic examination of his phone “probably” left him with “little choice but to enter a guilty plea”. Moreover, Maxamed had originally denied the child porn accusations, saying the nature of the crimes went “against [his] moral fabric”.

    Speaking of recipes, if you want to keep them on your computer, I can't recommend "Paprika" enough. Great app to store recipes, download from web, etc. Well worth the $35 or so it costs.

    Your recipe looks like honey garlic chicken?

    Yup. That's what it basically is.

    Mrs. George said, "It's good" rather than "It's OK", so it's on the "make again" list.

    ETA: But I've never seen it made in a skillet.
