Trump administration report accuses Biden of anti-Christian bias. That is, they see any erosion of Christian privilege as religious persecution.

Being secular in Trump’s America (subscribe for free…it’s worth it). When Trump plays favorites with faith, we all pay the price.

Pastor who wrote book on biblical marriage arrested for alleged bigamy.

World of Woo: The downstream effect of rolling back the hepatitis B vaccine.

Environment: This year’s El Niño could shatter records.

Conspiracy theory over UFOs and missing scientists spreads from web to White House. Are humans cursed with  reverse-engineering reality and then mistaking it for insight?

The nature of pseudoscience, how to fight It, and why it matters.

Will e-coli parties be as successful as measles parties are?

A profound ignorance about Christianity fuels its success.

Why AI companies want you to be afraid of them.

Have a great week!

Doubt is the start of truth, not the end of it.

Thanks, Reg!!

Thanks Strega.

Good read unspoiled by a walk. And yet i love to walk and conduct internal talk utilizing internal clock. Tick tock metronome block.

I thought of mantra and how one college class on religion the first day professor said here we are AGAIN. There was some recent notion in astronomy or cosmology that indicated life might just repeat endlessly. So prof uses that to support his world view but will never use sciencr to question his world view. So convenient.

Well says he we ought to all participate in a mantra. Says i no sir. I won’t play not yesterday or today. Rest of the class mantra’d out. When they finished he asked me the impact. I did not lie. It was powerful. Evocative. UHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

As for loop trails they’re the best. They don’t cause boredom like the rest. Loops is spools backwards. My brain and mind loop. Those trails are dope.

When I think of Mantras, I think of the old Matt Groening cartoon from his pre-Simpsons days doing the comic strip “Life in Hell.”. He drew an anthropomorphized cow sitting in a lotus position and saying: “Your Mantra is: Moooo!” 🐮😁

Fellow Unbelievers:

Ecumunism does not always mean peace or tolerance. Sometimes it just means sharing a common hatred:

Not just e-coli but anything the cow’s udder touches or anything the cow isn’t innoculated to prevent. (And Anti-Vaxxerism tends come with Raw Milk Cultism and tends to be a cross-species pathology.) The e-coli party could also include Amoebic Dysentery, Botulism, Bird Flu, Cryptosporidium, Cowpox, Listeria, Malaria, Salmonella, Trichinae, Turlaremia (Rabbit Fever,) Wisteria, etc And the more “free-range” the cow is, and the more farm animals it contacts, the more bugs the cows can get and spread. And the longer raw milk travels, the more bugs can spread and grow in the product.

If allowed to exist at all, raw milk needs to be kept to consenting adults who waive all liability for their life and health, just as eaters of Fugu fish do in Japan. Otherwise, raw milk needs to be treated as a bio-hazard.

[TheEncogitationer]

Reg,

I forgot to add something else: The Guillain-Barré Syndrome the woman got from the camylobacter caught from raw milk is a Syndrome which is contraindicative with certain vaccines. The Pharmacist or Physician always asks if you have Guillain-Barré Syndrome on the vaccine form.

So, drinking tainted raw milk increases the number of people who can’t get vaccinated and thus increases the chances of endemic infections.

Raw milk is like a snowball made of shit used to flood the zone in the valley below, with all of us residing therein.

Fellow Unbelievers:

Yet another distraction from a poorly-executed war, an economy in the crapper, the Epstein Files, and a Hantavirus outbreak that could be worse than COVID-19. The pictures aren’t even as good as past ones:

Any SETI programs on other worlds are surely up for a ton of let-down if their attention is directed here!
