@Donna_Rachel_ Here in the USA, it would be perfectly reasonable to say "they crossed many county lines" though more frequently you hear "crossing state lines with a captive is a major felony".

County lines are PHONE LINES, not border demarcations. You can’t traffic people over them. The Rape Gang Inquiry Report is junk.

@SketchesbyBoze I hope she eventually finds her way to St John's College in Santa Fe, NM. We read, and translated from the Ancient Greek, Homer in freshman year.

I get yelled at for saying this but children enjoy a challenge and it's good for them to read books that are a bit difficult. In my experience, adults are the ones trying to keep them from classics while the kids are aching to read Homer, Jane Austen and Jane Eyre.

@Rainmaker1973 @Penniwinkle You forgot the part about Americans shooting thousands and thousands of bison to starve the indigenous people off the coveted land

Bison are leading one of the most remarkable ecological comebacks in North American history. For more than a century, the great herds of the American bison were fragmented, broken into isolated groups by roads, fences, and human development across the Great Plains and Yellowstone region. Now, in a powerful wildlife success story, those artificial barriers are being overcome. On their own, bison are instinctively reuniting and reopening ancient migration corridors that had been lost for over 100 years. This isn’t just movement: it’s a profound return to ancestral memory. Large, unified herds are once again flowing across the landscape as they did in centuries past. As they travel, these iconic animals act as masterful ecosystem engineers. Their powerful hooves aerate compacted soil, their selective grazing encourages the growth of diverse native plants, and their dust wallows create seasonal watering holes that benefit countless other species. In doing so, they spread nutrients and help restore the health of the grasslands. By simply allowing bison to roam freely across their historic ranges, nature is showing us that wild ecosystems recover best when their original architects are given the freedom to lead.

@Handre In all this subjugating of the individual to the crowd, did Sartre forget that "L'enfer, c'est les autres"?

In 1968, while teenage Red Guards beat their professors to death with clubs in Beijing courtyards, Jean-Paul Sartre sat in Paris calling Mao's Cultural Revolution a model of revolutionary democracy. The most celebrated intellectual in France looked at a country burning its own libraries and saw liberation. He sold the Maoist newspaper La Cause du Peuple on French street corners himself, holding it aloft like a sacrament. Consider what he was endorsing. Between 1966 and 1976, the Cultural Revolution killed somewhere between 500,000 and two million people. Schools shut down across the entire country. Students dragged teachers onto stages, hung placards around their necks, forced them to kneel on broken glass, then murdered them. The historian Bian Zhongyun, vice-principal of a girls' school in Beijing, died on August 5, 1966, beaten by her own students with nail-studded clubs. Sartre called this the people governing themselves. You should understand why a man this intelligent got it this wrong. Sartre believed knowledge served power, that truth was whatever the revolution required, that the individual existed to be dissolved into the collective will. So when Mao abolished the distinction between teacher and student, between expert and mob, Sartre cheered. He had spent decades arguing that bourgeois reason was a class weapon. Here was a regime taking him at his word and clubbing the reasoners to death. This is what economic illiteracy buys you. A university, a price, a contract, and a peasant's grain stockpile all carry knowledge that no central planner can seize or replicate. Mises explained the calculation problem in 1920. Hayek explained dispersed knowledge in 1945. Sartre had access to both and chose the dunce cap of the collective instead, then handed out its propaganda on the Rue de Rennes. He died in 1980, mourned by 50,000 followers, never having retracted a word about Mao. The professors of Beijing got no such funeral. They got a ditch, and a philosopher in Paris explaining that their murder was freedom.

@NYPDnews What law did he break? Asking from Arizona

After the Knicks game on Saturday night, our officers spotted a man with a gun in a large crowd in Times Square. They quickly tracked him down and recovered a loaded gun that was in his waistband. This is how the NYPD showed up on Saturday night to keep people safe.

A million times worse than that Cop City thing

@shes_ella_rishe @elegationvain There's what? A celebration of not slicing up the body parts that enable a healthy loving adult physical relationship ?

@SchuckAb @elegationvain aaaand there it is

A common theme in FtM spaces is it’s their responsibility to fix manhood by being female levels of conscious, empathetic, emotionally expressive, etc. Meanwhile in MtF spaces they’re simply concerned with being as hot as possible.

@shes_ella_rishe @elegationvain Yes entertaining nuance is so much more satisfying than being able to orgasm

That's fair but my experience is not a 'fallacy' nor a wholesale endorsement of that. I literally have to live roped into and defined by the relatively very small amount of experiences that are questionable to indeed unacceptable. It's not even 'legions'– the numbers are much smaller than anyone who spends considerable time railing against GAC will acknowledge, just like they ignore the youths who transitioned and are living fulfilling lives. I get it, it's not a bad idea to at least slow down and see where things go incase it's a nightmare down the road. But like... Life is always a nightmare down the road lmao Not sure someone who uses "mutilation" is going to entertain nuance though.

@shes_ella_rishe @elegationvain Nothing true can be learned if it's based on a fallacy. People don't hate tw, we hate it when men invade our spaces and sports. I hate it that young girls are mutilating themselves and boys castrated. Legions of anorgasmic adults are going to be raging.

I mean, an aspect of transition that is incredibly dear to me is experiencing more and more insight into femininity (12 years on estrogen + progesterone later but I am sure ppl will endlessly deny I know anything) and being able to articulate the differences on such a deep, intrinsic level and help build a bridge between the two sexes. It would be super cool if people could stop hating transwomen long enough for such novel insights to breathe and potentially help society learn about itself.

@NJBeisner It's just crumbs thrown to the masses to keep up the pretense that there are still govt jobs that are not saturated in CIA.

I was today years old when I found out Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent is gay and “married” to another man. That’s the thing about President Trump—he hires gays, but the administration doesn’t shove it in our faces like some glass ceiling is being shattered every five seconds. It’s not the focus, so like more than half the population doesn’t even know someone’s sexuality, and that person is just judged on their merits and performance instead of whom they’re attracted to. Not so with the left.

@mafifi0 It's the craziness that scares me, the obsession to medically and surgically self harm. If a person self harms to become more fuckable to himself, utter lunacy.

@ArtemisConsort @eva_kurilova Almost none of my high school classmates had kids, none of my college classmates, either.

No matter what your theory about birth rate collapse is, there’s some data point that disproves it. Japan didn’t have the pill when fertility collapsed. There are highly patriarchal countries where fertility is collapsing. It’s collapsing in countries that are still poor. It’s collapsing in places with more generous social support for families. It’s almost like a psychic alien just decided to phase humans out.

Congress just dishonored every American veteran. I served in the U.S. Marine Corps. I dedicated years of my life to this country, our way of life, and our beliefs. I lost friends. I watched wives hold their babies and choke back tears at my friends' funerals. For that sacrifice, our country recognizes service members. They can proudly say "I served" and carry the title of Veteran. Now Congress wants to grant that same recognition to service in a foreign military, for the sole benefit of that foreign country, in an ongoing military action being investigated for war crimes against civilians. That cheapens every veteran's sacrifice. It undermines the honor of military service. And it dishonors this country. Repost this. Americans need to know. Veterans need to know. The families of service members and veterans need to know. And Congress needs to know we are not ok with this.

@Zpb1985 @Rainmaker1973 I don't know about you but my skull is in no way tiny. Cute, of course, but very large.

@Rainmaker1973 it's be better for the environment if u tied ur loved ones naked body to ONE big balloon and let it take them away. wherever he/she drops, they will biodegrade leaving their skull as a tiny cute birdhouse.

Louisiana is about to ban a long-standing tradition used to honor and remember loved ones. Starting August 1, the state will make the intentional outdoor release of helium-filled balloons, both latex and Mylar, illegal. The law was passed to protect wildlife and the environment. Although balloon releases are brief and visually striking, the balloons eventually fall back to Earth, often miles away. They can land in forests, marshes, rivers, coastal areas, and fields, where animals may become entangled in the strings or mistakenly ingest the fragments, sometimes with deadly results. Mylar balloons can also cause power outages by interfering with electrical lines. The decision has sparked emotional debate. Many people view balloon releases as a meaningful way to celebrate a life and find comfort in grief. Others argue there are better, more environmentally responsible alternatives, such as planting memorial trees, releasing biodegradable flower petals, holding candlelight vigils, or organizing community gatherings. The new law includes several exceptions: it does not apply to accidental releases, indoor events, or anyone under 17 years old. Violators face penalties of up to a $500 fine and eight hours of community service for a first offense, with stiffer penalties for repeat violations. Louisiana is now part of a growing global movement to restrict balloon releases due to their impact on wildlife, marine life, and the environment.

BREAKING: Largest Human Cancer Study of Ivermectin + Mebendazole Is Now PEER-REVIEWED and PUBLISHED in a MAJOR Cancer Journal 84.4% of cancer patients taking ivermectin + mebendazole for 6 months declared either CANCER DISAPPEARANCE, TUMOR REGRESSION, or CANCER STABILIZATION. Our study, “Real-world Clinical Outcomes of Ivermectin and Mebendazole in Cancer Patients: Results from a Prospective Observational Cohort,” is now peer-reviewed and published in Anticancer Research—a major international oncology journal of the International Institute of Anticancer Research (IIAR), established in 1995. The results represent one of the most compelling clinical signals ever documented for repurposed anti-parasitic therapies in oncology. A diverse population of cancer patients (n=197) was prescribed compounded ivermectin–mebendazole through a U.S. telemedicine platform, with each capsule containing 25 mg ivermectin and 250 mg mebendazole. Participants were followed for approximately six months using standardized digital surveys assessing cancer outcomes, medication adherence, and tolerability. At approximately six months post-treatment initiation, we observed an 84.4% Clinical Benefit Ratio (CBR)—meaning more than four out of five patients reported either: No evidence of disease (32.8%) Tumor regression (15.6%) or Cancer stabilization (36.1%) Importantly, adherence was remarkably high, with 86.9% completing the initial prescription and 66.4% remaining on therapy at six months. Side effects were predominantly mild and manageable, reported in 25.4% of patients (primarily gastrointestinal), with 93.6% of those experiencing side effects continuing treatment after minor dosing adjustments. This groundbreaking peer-reviewed publication was made possible through a unique collaboration between The Wellness Company, the McCullough Foundation, and the Chairman of the President’s Cancer Panel—uniting real-world clinical data, frontline medical experience, and epidemiologic expertise to evaluate inexpensive, repurposed therapies with major translational potential. With these extraordinarily promising results, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials are now required. In the meantime, many cancer patients are exercising their right to try. @twc_health @McCulloughFund @IIAR_Journals @P_McCulloughMD @DrHarveyRisch @DrKellyVictory @jathorpmfm @drdrew @PeterGillooly @FosterCoulson

@HomerPavlos "Those who are worthy and those who are not" - what, pray tell, makes someone "worthy"?

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.
