Sure, we can do this. Or we can actually do something truly useful for the common good and ban any #socialmedia platform that relies on mass #surveillance to serve targeted #ads no matter the age. In other words, we must have proper social media instead of #advertising companies masked as social media.

Watch live: #Trump & *#Health* Secy #RFKJr to speak soon on #DrugPrices.
Trump plans to sign a wide-reaching #ExecutiveOrder on Monday directing drugmakers to lower the prices of their #medicines to align w/other countries.
White House ofcls said the govt will give drugmakers price targets in the next 30 days, & will take further action to lower #prices if those companies do not make "significant progress" towards those goals within 6 months.
In his first term, #Trump was focused on ensuring that Americans got the lowest #drug #prices. Now, he seems much more concerned about making sure Europeans pay more.
Trump has still not described any specific legal mechanism for lowering #DrugPrices.
Trump claims prices could come down somewhere between 59% & 90%
🤣🤣#Trump said he came up with what he calls a new word: “equalize.” He said he uses it to describe what he wants the executive order to impact in terms of drug pricing.
Now #RFKJr is talking. He’s as bad as Trump.
RFKJr said Trump is telling the Europeans they have to raise the price they charge for drugs. So does that mean Trump isn’t so much lowering the cost for Americans but dictating what other countries charge to “equalize” costs?
Both #Trump & #RFKJr, the #HHS secretary, have been falsely claiming that #Democrats have done nothing about high #drug #prices. Democrats passed legislation to allow #Congress to negotiate on the price of some drugs in #Medicare during the #Biden administration.
In fact TV Dr Oz is now pointing to the #IRA [Inflation Reduction Act] which was the Biden bill.
#Trump is now talking about the new $400 million plane that #Qatar is just gifting him.
He starts off by complaining that the #ExecutiveOrder he signed for a new plane in January hasn’t resulted in anything.
Unreal. “White farmers are being brutally killed,” #Trump says of the #Afrikaners being brought to the #US as #refugees. He says he doesn’t care about “their race, their color, their height,” but that if it was the “other way around” — meaning Black farmers being harmed — it would be a news story, & this isn’t. He claims “it’s a genocide going on. But you people don’t want to write about it.”
He is lying. The assertions of mass kililngs are false.
#Trump tells an #ABC News reporter who presses him on ethical questions raised by accepting the nearly half-billion-dollar #Qatari luxury jet for free that she should be “embarrassed” for asking the question. He calls her “ABC fake news” & repeatedly bashes the network.
Trump says he could reject #Qatar’s offer of the free jetliner or simply say thanks for the gift. He then invokes a golf analogy suggesting that following rules when one doesn’t have to is foolish.
#Trump’s #ExecutiveOrder includes pressuring foreign governments to pay more to #pharmaceutical companies for their #medications & expecting those companies to VOLUNTARILY🤣 lower their #prices in the #US.

and here's here's a bit of natural ultramarine (aka lazurite, or lapis lazuli) from the Mardan-y-Char mine at Sar-e-Sang, Afghanistan, in the Hunterian Museum collection, Glasgow.
The intensity of this colour is pretty accurate - this is close to the "eye" grade of the most intense blue used for jewellery. Broken coarse crystals known as "lajuaat crystal" grade are still used for pigment production from this mine.

in reply to Anae • • •En la imagen, una joven con el cabello largo y oscuro se encuentra de espaldas, vestida con una blusa blanca y una falda roja con un patrón de puntos. Está de pie en un campo de hierba seca, con un cielo dramático de nubes grises y doradas en el fondo. La joven está flanqueada por tres marcos de cuadros de madera, dos a los lados y uno en el centro, que parecen ser puertas abiertas. El marco central, en el que se refleja la imagen de la joven, crea una ilusión de que ella está entrando en una escena diferente. La composición evoca una sensación de misterio y transición, con la joven como el centro de la escena.
