Sir David Attenborough laying out the reality of Global Heating.
The devastation on its way is unimaginable - like nothing humanity has ever witnessed before - and everyone will wish they had been climate activists and ‘hysterics’ when they had the chance. We are in a moment of unprecedented stupidity

Harry Davenport's rendition of Meet Me in St. Louis, in Meet Me in St. Louis (1944) is incredible. So, so endearing.

Judy's not bad either. :)

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

How many 'serious' people were complicit in pushing this anti-science dreck?

Were they operating in good faith?

Probably not.

They're pseudo-intellectuals that aren't accountable or responsible for their actions/inactions.

Yup.

It wouldn’t be surprising to find out Internet Research Agency in St Petersburg, RU has figured out that rudeness & trolling that flies under troll Elon’s ownership on X gets booted off Bluesky, so they’ve toned down the algorithm to create FUD (fear, uncertainty, & doubt) & not get the boot.

NEW: Bluesky has seen massive growth in the weeks following the US election. There are 24 million users on the social media platform.

With great engagement comes great responsibility, which means Bluesky CEO @jay.bsky.team has a lot to do. She sat down with WIRED to talk about it.

With films like; Solomon Northup's Odyssey (1984), The Learning Tree (1969), and Shaft (1971), Gordon Parks work speaks for itself.

GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic represent one of the greatest advances in metabolic and nutritional health of all time (w/ likely even more health benefits we haven’t fully discovered) but RFK thinks that anyone taking them is “stupid” and “addicted” and just didn’t really try hard enough to lose weight
RFK wants to restrict use of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic
More than 9million prescriptions for Ozempic and similar weight loss drugs are written every year in the US, estimates suggest - which is one of the world's fattest nations.

It’s going to be amazing to watch how quickly Twitter loses its utility when liberals eventually flee the site and it turns into Gab or Parler or Truth Social.
