Did you know that smoking increases caffeine clearance by over 50%, meaning you have to drink more coffee more often to get the same effect?
And that birth control pills do the opposite, extending the biological half life by almost half?

This is correct and also one of the main theories about the end of the Bronze Age civilisations and as a fun aside to give you context, the eruption of Samalas was at least an order of magnitude greater than Santorini.
The ancient minoan civilization was essentially wiped out by the island of Thera, or Santorini, exploding in a gargantuan eruption.
This is most likely what Plato referenced when he developed the story of Atlantis, and is a possible interpretation for the 10 biblical plagues of Egypt as well.

Still can't get over how there's a whole civilization with a capital city at least as big as Pompeii buried deep under miles of volcanic rock from the biggest eruption in like 10,000 years on Lombok in Indonesia and all we know about them is that they existed till they were destroyed

Of all the things we are doing in MN, this one is just beyond. Imagine being released from hell alone in the cold. And a total stranger has waited all night with a blanket just to be ready to hug you and carry you home. Every job we do is crucial, but this one is what restores humanity and dignity.
As the pedophile führer's ICE Nazis are ordered to release people they've kidnapped, they do it in the dead of night to make sure it's as cruel and brutal as possible. Fortunately, compassionate Patriots are there to meet them and make sure they're ok and driven to their homes.

Reading something from a person 500 years ago, on the other side of the planet, that speaks perfectly and with profound specificity to some private part of your soul, and finding, across those chasms of time, that you’re not alone is, IMO, the greatest pleasure literature can provide.
If you don’t read old stuff you’ll never discover that people in the olden days had the same thoughts and feelings and dreams and anxieties you do, sometimes articulated differently, sometimes exactly the same way. You are never truly alone in anything and old writings are a neon sign telling you so
Meanwhile, on threads, which actually is like what people on twitter think bluesky is like, a "teacher, author, poet" speaks...

it used to be normal to breathe cigarette smoke any time you went out. we changed that via education and public policy. it doesnt have to be normal to breathe covid.
I mean the proper answer is doing to air quality what we've done to water quality over the past two centuries, filtration/exchange. Tackling all airborne diseases/pollutants in one fell swoop. But I ain't seeing that either.

Like with using children as bait and eating at a restaurant then kidnapping the people who prepared it, ICE is routinely breaking taboos that have been part of human civilization since before recorded history.
Two female ICE agents popped the hood of their car and knocked on the door of a mechanic born in Mexico. He went out to help.

The 2 Catholic priests and Sister who entered the Broadview, IL ICE facility, to provide Ash Wednesday services to those inside, have come back out.
They gave brief statements to press before leaving for an Ash Wednesday mass in Melrose Park.
