Just read Salman Rushdie’s book “Knife” : what happens to you / your art when surviving a knife attack. Wonderful read. Might help fans of Rob Reiner, RIP Meathead.

Look at the graph, everyone, and just pretend it's a drop in some stock.
The thing about measles is that it’s the only known virus that triggers immune amnesia - it causes your immune system to forget everything it has previously learned. Meaning you essentially reset to zero and are now at risk of basically everything.
It can take 2-3 years to get immunities back.

Russia showing just how serious it is about peace tonight, launching waves of missiles and drones at Kyiv. Air defenses are working to knock them down. A series of explosions just rocked Ukraine’s capital. It’ll be another long night.

Oh, he predicted the recent rise of socialism?
After Occupy Wall Street, Bernie Sanders' 2016 strength, the election of AOC and the Squad in 2018, etc? How could he possibly have seen that coming?
We'd all better listen to this seer's other views which I'm sure aren't creepy and insane.

Bari Weiss’s The Free Press (now part of corporate media) is pushing this Ad on Musk’s X. It portrays Peter Thiel as some sort of savant.
This is the same guy, you know, who has been giving lectures about the AntiChrist.
The “Free” Press is more like The Billionaire Press.

Oh, really? Why didn't it want peace in 2022?
Because Russia only asks for "peace" when it gets its snout beaten.

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

It remains very striking to me that some of the most sober, clear-eyed reporting on the neo Nazi movement in America comes from local reporters like Phil Williams. I can't think of anything as frank and grounded as this from national outlets. Give this guy a follow.

While they’re still screwing about with SNAP, it’s a good idea to donate to pet shelters, too.
If you dare show up with “poor people shouldn’t have pets”, I will tear such a new one it generates a black hole.

Families on SNAP worry about not just feeding themselves but also their pets
With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters.
