Religions are like whiskies. There are many varieties, & popular ones have been around for ages. Moderation is key when you indulge, no matter how much better it makes you feel, and always make sure to not operate heavy machinery or make important decisions under the influence.

The best way to shut people up isn’t to take away their forum,
it’s to give them all their own separate pulpits, most folks will listen to what they already know and read what they already agree with. It’s the equivalent of letting an eight-year-old pick their own diet.

A friend of mine is wondering:

OK, seems the email address Dilbert Stark (aka Elon Musk) wants US federal employees to send a mail telling what they done the last week is HR@opm.gov. Wouldn't it be a shame if that email got flooded by big documents, "woke propaganda" or even local weather reports?

The first two weeks into President Trump's second tour in the White House "have seen so many lines crossed in the pursuit of his agenda that anyone who believes in the Constitution and honest governance should be worried," the editorial board writes.

Two weeks in, the president is quickly moving to eliminate tools of accountability.

Someone at Facebook is trying to silence me.

SpaceX+Tesla+Boring+Neuralink have 1406 patents collectively. Elon’s name is only on 14, less than 1%.

I fully stand by my FB post.

Almost 100 generations ago there was this guy, a Palestinian reformist jewish congregation leader who got in terminal trouble with the government for preaching positive values.

Spare him a real thought in these interesting times, whether you claim to follow him or not.
Jesus was indeed all right.

Somewhat embarrassing but not entirely surprising.

Loistavaa toimintaa!
Ruotsissa 8v tytön vanhemmat olivat sanoneet, ettei hän voi saada yksisarvista, koska tarvitsee yksisarvisen pitämiseen lääninhallituksen luvan.
Tyttö haki lupaa ja sai sen, edellytyksinä että hän sellaisen löytää ja lähettää kuvan lääninhallitukseen.
