Play. Actual children’s play. I have kids in the house, two sets, one lives with mom most of the time, others live with me. One set has screen limits, the other doesn’t. One 10 year old plays with their Legos and one doesn’t. Now this could be chalked up to personal differences, but it seems very correlated to me. And I see it clearly when other kids are visiting, less screen time = more creativity and play.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•I knew that Mandelson failed security vetting. So why didn’t Keir Starmer?English
1·11 days agoPoliticians aren’t vetted by the same procedure. That’s likely why Mandelson got a pass despite the fail. He had already had some access previously.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Christians of Lemmy, how do you feel about the U.S. president posting an Al photo of him as Christ?

Thanks. Correct you are.
Ok. I bet most of you know this already, but there’s 10 000 every day, so here I go.
Iran is a country based on a strict adherence to Shia Islam. While many people are secular, the roots of Shia Islam go back to the early days following the death of the prophet Mohammed. Long story short, there was a succession struggle, and Husayn, who was Mohammed’s grandson lost and was killed by the corrupt Umayad dynasty. Those who supported Husayn became the Shia, and branched off from Sunni Islam. The fundamental idea in Shia Islam (aside from the prophet and the Quran) is the example of Husayn, who rather than surrendering when outmanned 72 to 4000, chose to fight for truth and justice, and dying for it. His martyrdom created shi’ism.
They celebrate/remember his martyrdom in a 10 day long festival every year. I’m not sure if intimidation is gonna work on these guys.

Ever seen good old Babylon 5? When the corrupt president seizes the media and uses it for propaganda etc. There are still good people in the media, but they can’t be openly critical or they will be removed. Subtle jabs like this are pretty much all they’ll be willing to risk.
