PopeBeanie:

All of this really isn’t funny. Protesters should leave a place better than when they found it. Portland, Oregon had enough garbage in it’s streets as it was before this.

And since no one knows where these dildos have been, protesters could be spreading a biohazard, and could be prosecuted for such.

Of course, to the other side,…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers:

Trump may have accidentally done something right!

He has named Erica Schwartz as nominee for Director of The Center for Disease Control and Prevention!

Her record speaks for itself. Don’t get lockjaw beholding it. Your face might freeze that way:

Reg, PopeBeanie and Jake:

This story should prove concerning to all of us:

Russia threatens to strike Israel-based drone production firm
https://www.ynetnews.com/article/bkbhstc3zl

How Ukraine goes, so goes Israel, and how Israel goes, so goes Europe. It’s all of a single piece.

Jake:

All of this indeed correct. Alas, Trump has his own unique mutation of brain rot and stink and he is not a man of ideas capable of properly destroying either Marxist Leftism or Islamism or Palestinianism. He thinks it all can be dealt with by a “deal.”

Trump’s Strait of Hormuz “deal” is a perfect example of how ridiculous and…[Read more]

“Which country was selected last week by the United Nations Economic and Social Council to serve on the organization’s Program and Coordination Committee, the body that shapes UN policy on women’s rights, human rights, counterterrorism, and disarmament? Iran. Who supported this decision? Australia, France, the United Kingdom, and other…

Presuming all this is happening in a cave,

Here is something to make the chorus rave:

Ask if the shadows produced the chips

And ask the shadows to shoot from the hip.

When forthcoming chips don’t come to be.

Ask the chorus to spill the tea on your tea.

The developing world would have a lot less child mortality if we could stop reverse-developing nations from recruiting and kidnapping children for combat. Maybe FEMA’s Gregg Phillips could teleport Iran’s children safely away from the IRGC:

Iran accused of war crime for recruiting children; FEMA official claims he was teleported by…[Read more]

PopeBeanie:

That is generous of Ukraine to send drones to open up the Strait, even though Ukraine is still facing problems with Putin.

I just hope when this is all over, the drones don’t end up used against the West by equally dangerous Sunni regimes and terrorists.

There is a new study done on benefits of getting the Shingles vaccine. I will get it soon as I had chicken pox when I was young.

Highly recommended. I got my two shots a few years ago, since I had Chicken Pox as a kid. The Shingles vaccine comes in a pair of shots spaced out over 2-6 months and you get to have fun saying the…[Read more]

PopeBeanie:

I get the connection you’re making, but really, is there more than just the name to discredit good science in a different discipline?

I’ll take as a win, the fact that we agree about Musk.

I should be more clear: I am all for vaccines as a life-saving technology. I think they should be available over-the-counter in Epi-Pens, eve…[Read more]

PopeBeanie:

Musk is out of his depth on vaccines (and probably on rocketry too, judging from how he like to blow shit up on his laugh pads)…

But just gotta say, Germany isn’t helping it’s case by naming it’s vaccine regulator the Paul Ehrlich Institute, if this is the same one who wrote The Population Bomb which held that we humans reached…[Read more]

PopeBeanie:

That should be Thank Gregor Mendel, Norman Borlaug, and Genentech for GMOs. Gaia née Earth just unconsciously provided the raw materials.

And the most important reason for thanks is The Green Revolution that saved a billion humans from starvation. This helps people cope with reality without psychotropic drugs.

Betty Bowers, America’s Greatest Christian, evidently has a more wayward doppelgänger across the drink:

Jake:

We’re all on the same topic. The same God William Lane Craig is trying to defend is the same God that Donald J. Trump thinks and portrays himself to be and the same God whose standards which MAGA zombies use to judge Trump. And since God-guided MAGA is splitting up on Trump for various reasons, there is no God-guided consensus in…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers:

As much as I’ll be glad when Trump is out of the White House, I’ll be so sad if this is what gets him thrown out:

World of Woo: Netflix and The Plastic Detox.

Glad you posted this. It fits in nicely with my earlier post on the problem of even accurately detecting microplastics and thus determining how much, if any, is toxic.

So far, the biggest danger posed by plastic are from standing water in containers, sharp edges on hard plastics, and trip…[Read more]

Me troll Christians?? Never! I am only gently admonishing them with my wise words.

“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly, as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom.” Colossians 3:16

So you’re fighting Christianity by becoming one? I’m perplexed and not even Maimonides couldn’t be a guide on this one.

Of cou…

Fellow Unbelievers:

A great video from Kyle Hill on Microplastics and the difficulty in measuring what, if any, health effects they have. Kyle also has great thoughtful content busting myths about radiation and nuclear energy:

Strega.

Enco, we were moderators until this software issue, which probably stems from someone trying to fix the fact we could suddenly see IP addresses.

We are referring to the site owner, @Rebel when we need to consult. He doesn’t moderate.

so right now, we are all moderated purely by our own sense of decorum…

So, why doesn’t the own…[Read more]
