@cremieuxrecueil Monty Python tackled this subject. m.youtube.com/watch?v=fUspLV…

And that is how British fertility modernized, practically overnight. They went from almost not practicing family planning because the knowledge was suppressed, to knowing all about it, and managing their fertility accordingly strictly. This is a huge result.

British fertility abruptly fell after one important court case: the Bradlaugh-Besant trial🧵 You can see its impact very visibly on this chart:

@marknorm Nice upgrade on that joke 👍

@cindylynn_ @sarobertsonca Read what? The screen grab. Who's Atwell? Got your point. Sexually graphic graphic novels bad for kids. Agreed. Got my point?

@KevinMulla77081 @sarobertsonca Perhaps you should read it. Atwell responded to CBC media hype. Nobody in elementary school was reading her books. But they were given access to dick-pic illustrations.

Danielle Smith on Alberta school book ban: "I just can't believe the Left pushed back so hard against us on that one. It's bananas."

@cindylynn_ @sarobertsonca Thanks for making my point!

@KevinMulla77081 @sarobertsonca

@cindylynn_ @sarobertsonca My point stands. The Major pushback by Atwood and the like was for printed classics not graphic novels. Smith is playing politics in that speech. https:/calgaryjournal.ca/2026/03/09/fact-checking-claims-of-widespread-book-banning-in-alberta-schools/

@KevinMulla77081 @sarobertsonca If I hadn't deleted the grapghic screenshots I'd share... But that's the gist of what the government said was inappropriate for schools. Only groomers and predators want sexualized content for kids.

@cremieuxrecueil It's an uphill battle.

Short kings can make it big. Look at Mao's reaction to Kissinger's tall wife. Look at Kissinger's knowing grin. If they can do it, so can you.

@cindylynn_ @sarobertsonca Not sure I follow?

@KevinMulla77081 @sarobertsonca Doubt that. It's graphic novels with graphic and explicit illustrations of BJs and discussion of sex - only gay or queer sex, mind you, because "too much" is apparently any reference to heterosexuality.

@cremieuxrecueil 'Of which there are seemingly none' After further research, I'll admit there are no studies, Either Way, on chronic exposure. 20 yrs of extensive use. You call us fools for questioning what we spray on the food we eat, I call us cautious.

The acute toxicity of glyphosate is considerably less than that for common substances like vitamin D, caffeine, aspirin, and even table salt. Glyphosate thread🧵

@visegrad24 Too busy scrolling on their phones with Congolese Cobalt in their Lithium batteries.

There is an ongoing genocide in the Congo that no one talks about. Where are the marches across Western capital cities for the Congolese being massacred!?

@karunpal Yes. Reminds me of Dogwise by Richard Wagamese wagamesewriter.wordpress.com/2011/07/15/dog…

The older I get, the more I believe happiness lives in the ordinary. Pets. Plants. A quiet morning coffee. Blue sky. Cotton clouds. Birds singing. The gentle breeze through the trees. A clean, cosy house. Good food. Good hearted simple poeple. So much of life’s beauty is quiet, gentle, and already here. And somehow, one of the sweetest feelings is knowing I get to wake up and meet it all again tomorrow.

@MarioNawfal Passive aggressive

A man saved a cobra, gave it water, nursed it back, and the first thing it did was try to bite him. Nature stayed in character.

@AOC Gobbledegook. Sorry AOC. It's not theft if you choose to work there. Improvements are needed . Yes. Agreed. Muddled rants won't help.

The single largest form of theft in America is wage theft. $50 billion a year are stolen from American workers. If a billionaire amasses their wealth by underpaying their full-time workers so severely that they must rely on food assistance and government programs to survive, then no, that wealth was not earned by one individual - it was a wealth transfer subsidized by underpaid American workers and the public who get stuck with the bill for large corporations free-riding off our systems. The point is less about individual morality. It’s more about how our current economic reality of shattering inequality rewards screwing over workers and exploiting essential systems at scale. We’re talking monopoly power. Rent-seeking. Wage theft. Profiteering. Stock buybacks. Destabilizing housing markets. Companies using SNAP/EBT to underwrite their wages. Massive government subsidies or contracts to corporations following lobbying and dark money in politics with little to no oversight or accountability. Some people get enraged that I draw attention to this. That’s on them. Let them call me shrill, dumb, inexperienced, girly, uneducated - these folks will say anything to distract from or undercut the truth that working people are getting screwed, and giving people a fair shake means we must have a grown conversation about reigning in abuse of power.

@acoyne envy and resentment older than any economy

This is what the economist David Henderson called “pre-economic thinking.”

@MarcoFoster_ @RepAOC Envy+ Resentment. Greed for what you lack + what you feel entitled to take. We can talk all day about how to improve our collective lot in life. Labor laws, wages, taxes etc... Yet, to say one hasn't 'earned' their wealth without exploitation is facile. exploit≈capitalize on

AOC: “There’s a certain level of wealth and accumulation that is unearned. You can’t earn a billion dollars. You just can’t earn that. You can get market power, you can break rules, you can abuse labor laws, you can pay people less than what they’re worth, but you can’t earn that”

@sciencegirl "Why are you taking me away from the water? I'm a turtle, not a tortoise."

Turtle: "Thanks officer, but I know where I'm going"

@Timcast 'Drag' is fundamentally a 'sexual' performance. Unsuitable for pre-pubescent people. 'Make believe' is Play. All can participate. Framing is important as it 'frames' little minds with an identity. A fragile thing at that age.

The drag performance affectation is learned behavior These parents should be charged criminally for child abuse

@Timcast Rigid and reinforced Gender Roles are the problem. A child can imagine itself to be whatever it wants. No Need to make a defining choice at that age. BOYS can wear dresses and makeup all they want for as long as they want, still a boy though. Girls can be tomboys, still a girl.

@Clavicular0 Just a reminder....of YOUR insecurity and SELF-Judgement. Sad. Go read A Picture of Dorian Grey and grow up.

Just a reminder

@luisjgomez Trees should be planted in Early spring. Before it gets too hot (stay on top of the watering! #1 home owner issue why plants die, a dribble is not a drink) and have time to establish strong root systems, before the shock of winter. Wrapping not needed unless you have harsh winds

36 green giants killed by the cold. Landscaper that installed won’t do shit and was extremely rude. Went to a different reputable landscaper and they are charging me a wild amount to replace. I’m just salty.
