Flutterby™! (short)

Our household political giving this year is four figures. I consider myself progressive/liberal. I believe in restorative justice.

But if your platform suggests the death penalty for political SMS spam begging for more donations, sign me the fuck up.

So, anyway...

$ apfel "What’s the frequency Kenneth?"

258 mile range small electric truck, actually shipping? (albeit in the UK) You have my attention: The Kia PV5 makes for a ridiculously cool dump truck.

RaShon Young to the state: Leave ‘Let Us Alone’ off Florida’s new driver license

Florida entered the Union on March 3, 1845, as a slave state. Its a href="https://www.floridamemory.com/items/show/189087" >1838 Constitution declared that “the General Assembly shall have no power to pass laws for the emancipation of slaves.” Moseley, a Jefferson County planter, was sworn in as the state’s first Governor that June, and the flag bearing “Let Us Alone” was unfurled at his inauguration. The Legislature never formally adopted it. The Senate objected to the motto, according to the Florida Historical Society.

But, never one to pass up an opportunity to do a racism, DeSantis pushed it on to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor vehicles. The announcement notes that:

The card also features the motto “Let Us Alone” from Florida’s first unofficial state flag, which was presented to Governor William D. Moseley upon his inauguration.

So, yeah, deliberately a callback to a racist fucker, a message so heinous that even those of the time noped the fuck out of it.

Anyway, "What's New Pussycat?" lost the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1966 to "The Shadow of Your Smile". Which says something about awards and longevity...
