@bettybloodclot Grok says your claims are exaggerated: x.com/i/grok?convers…

I'm sure this will be suppressed but I got to try If you live outside of major cities this is your best defense against Bill Gates ticks One Guinea can clear up to 1,000 ticks per day I have 20 and Im hatching another 30

They think they can move in, replace us and somehow the infrastructure will remain intact, but the whole place will turn into India, Africa or some other (muslim) shithole. The effort it takes to maintain a civilization is invisible. Look at what happened to almost every former European colony.

If white people are so evil why does everyone try to move to the countries they create? 🤔

@james_xond TV, radio, records, books, phone calls, cruising, getting stoned, sex.

People who were teenagers before social media existed, how did you survive being bored without scrolling on your phone for hours?

@omgsidewalks What science? Al Gore's fantasies?

Honestly, I’m sick and tired of grown adults calling the climate crisis a hoax. It’s not even a debate, the science has been settled for decades. Your ignorance is not just embarrassing, it is actively destroying the planet and every living thing on it.

We have two very long coasts on the Atlantic ocean and on the Pacific ocean. We also have a long coast on the Gulf of America, so it isn't that far. The Great Lakes are so big that they experience tides each day. For some people, it is a long trip, like from Kansas, but not for most of us. I am about two hours from the Pacific.

アメリカの兄弟達 すごく思ったんだけど兄弟達って 海あんまり見たことない？？ 旅行行く人は見たことあるかもだけど アメリカだとほぼ大陸だから海見ようとしたら大変じゃない？？

The English are absolutely certain they have the best food in the world. My question is, has anyone ever visited England, had the food and said, "This food is incredible! I have to learn how to cook it and take the knowledge back to my country! It will revolutionize our whole way of dining!?" No. No one ever has.

If you’re a European hating on American food… at least don’t be from England. Y’all know dang well y’all lack flavor 😭 & yes, I have been.

@LibertyValkyrie Kalamata olives in sourdough is the best for me.

Sourdough Creations of the weekend: 1) Olive Oil, Kalamata Olives, Feta Cheese and herbs

@WarHorizon If so, what we would see would be very revealing, so I doubt it. They don't want uncontrolled cameras with on the ground footage.

Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian has ordered the Ministry of Communications to restore internet access in the country to its pre-January status after 87 days of digital blackout. The IRGC-affiliated Fars News questioned the government's authority to issue such an order

@longstoryfarms Grok says it's not so and they can host ticks themselves.

@longstoryfarms Guinea hens are the best for tick removal, I hear.

Put up an owl box they said. They will eat the ticks they said. Pictured: owl in the duck pen after feasting on a khaki Campbell hen

@wolffdew The advantage to never having tasted it is that you get to have that incredible experience for the first time. It is one of the most unique flavors ever!

It was SO GOOD. I’m bringing a piece for our regular customer at the Café tomorrow so he can taste it. My husband also said his friend wants a piece lol, he’s never had tiramisu apparently

@NottaGlitch Yes, dense enough to toast a slice upright and then spread a another pound of butter on it.

Every once in a while, I'll see someone talking about a "light, fluffy" pound cake recipe, and I don't understand these people at all. I want my pound cake as dense and crumpled up and crusty as possible. If it's fluffy, that's just an angel food cake in disguise. 🤷

There was a demographic problem 2,200 years ago, and Polybius wrote exactly what caused it. Read carefully: "In our times, Greece as a whole is experiencing a lack of children and, more generally, a decrease in population. Because of this, cities have become deserted and there is a lack of productivity, even though we do not suffer from constant wars or epidemics. So if someone advised that we send priests to the gods to ask them what we should say or do to become more numerous and better inhabit our cities, he would not seem foolish, since the cause is obvious and the solution lies in our own hands. People have turned to arrogance, greed, and laziness, and they neither want to marry, nor, if they do marry, to raise their children. Instead, they have only one or two children with difficulty, just to leave them wealth and raise them in luxury. This evil grew rapidly, and we did not notice. For when there are only one or two children, and one is lost to war and the other to illness, it is obvious that the cities will inevitably become deserted, just as a beehive weakens little by little, so too do cities that lack population become unable to survive." Source: Histories, Polybius, 36 (ΛΣΤ) The similarities after 2,200 years. People prefer partying, doing drugs, and living for today rather than having a purpose, building a family, and leaving a positive footprint in this world. They choose the easy life. At this point, it’s a form of natural selection between those who are worthy and those who are not to continue.

@HomerPavlos I don't see this argument applying to Japan. I wonder what has caused the reduced birth rate there?

@PeterDClack I never had the slightest idea that desertification could be reversed, yet it is happening as an unplanned side effect.

Harsh climate scenarios have spent decades painting Earth's likely future landscape as dystopian, dark, barren and forbidding. Yet, recent physical data argues exactly the opposite. Instead of plunging the planet into chaos, it's becoming eye-catchingly greener - and CO₂ is the key. The formal models predicted a scorched planet, but NASA satellites unleashed a world that is biologically thriving. This silent miracle of global greening isn't some theory, it's the physical reality captured by the orbiting space platforms; MODIS instruments on NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites. This is how these jarring narratives have been unfolding: * Official Climate Narrative: Rapid, systemic desertification and global canopy loss due to rising temperatures. * Hard Reality: Persistent structural greening across more than 30% of the global vegetated area over the last two decades. * Official Climate Narrative: CO₂ acts strictly as a destructive atmospheric pollutant driving extreme weather. * Hard Reality: CO₂ is plant food, driving down stomatal conductance, making plants use water more efficiently and expanding the leaf area index. * Official Climate Narrative: Global food supply chains are on the verge of climate-driven collapse. * Hard Reality: Agricultural yields bolstered by CO₂ fertilisation are expanding green cover in semi-arid zones like the African Sahel and Western Australia. Plants are not passive victims of these often fudged climate waystations. Increased atmospheric carbon should be a blast of rich green reality. Higher, more robust CO₂ is not a death sentence - which is what they argued. It allows vegetation to open their pores (stomata) less, yet absorb the same amount of carbon. This drastically reduces water loss through transpiration. It's why the world's arid desert regions are blooming and the fragile living desert is raging into life - plants are also becoming more drought-resistant. This oft-neglected climate resurgence reveals that the biosphere is its own self-regulating flywheel. A massive global expansion of leaf cover is already visible from space. Official computer models consistently fail to mention it. Nevertheless, a vividly coloured renaissance is dutifully taking place, sweeping away all doubts.

@TheShawnHendrix If they can eat star thistle, send them to northern California. Or if they can eat kudzu, send them east to LA, MS, AL and GA.

This is why I love longhorns. They are like you crossed a cow with a goat. We are struggling in the drought but these cows are gaining weight beucase they will eat anything!

@BengaliSinbad @SaraWahedi The Taliban have come out and said no education at all for girls just in the last few days.

@SaraWahedi Taliban tells girls they can continue getting an education but due to resource issues public higher education isn't free. Members of Taliban who work in education show that world sanctions are causing resource shortages to get schools going. You post propoganda...

Made it my life’s mission to become the Taliban’s worst nightmare: A highly educated Afghan woman. First, Columbia University at the top of my class, and now Oxford University. Give Afghan girls one chance and see what they can achieve.

@PatriarchyRbds @SaraWahedi You have nothing intelligent or useful to say, so you try to poison the well.

@SaraWahedi She is boasting her degrees at the time when they belong in Garbage. Three more years and these degrees will be nothing but a beautiful piece of paper.

@SaraWahedi Let's topple Iran and then return to Afghanistan and utterly remove the Taliban from power.

@Clarsonimus It's because the Penguins are always just chillin.

Climate Fun Facts: There is a higher concentration of CO2 at the South Pole than elsewhere. This is because the water vapor there, Earth’s predominant "greenhouse" gas, has frozen. This leaves a higher percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere. So if CO2 and temperature are related in the way we are expected to believe, shouldn’t the rise in temperature be significantly higher at the South Pole than elsewhere? The opposite is true.
