@Tfmonkey Were you a Ninja Turtles fan back in the day? You were pretty young when this came out, I'm guessing, but turtle mania lasted a good while so maybe it got you too.
There are a few higher-end theaters here that do Fathom Events and I take my nephew, brother, and son to watch Castle in the Sky and things like that.
I just thought I'd throw this your way in case this is a special movie for you that you could enjoy in a nice theater with a beer and some food.

One of the major problems I see with the younger generations is that even though many of them will place blame on the boomers for many of their financial issues (correctly), many of them will still somehow think that going to college was worth it in spite of the crippling debt and wasted years on a degree that gets them no job.
It's okay, you can admit it was the wrong decision. The boomers led you astray there, so you don't have to defend that choice. You were lied to about that too.
Abstract. In a rapidly changing climate, evidence-based decision-making benefits from up-to-date and timely information. Here we compile monitoring datasets (published at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15639576; Smith et al.
It's not. If you look over a long enough time period, it's been much hotter in the past with CO2 levels much lower. And we've also had CO2 levels 10x what they are today without the so called runaway-greenhouse happening. This is a scam for transferring wealth and power and nothing more. The people who promote this scam consider you a worthless eater not worthy of existence. They put out this propaganda while flying their private jets to meet their co-conspirators in Davos to plan the next round.
Nonook is an idiot. He says "look in the past", yet if you actually do, it has not been warmer than this in at least 2000 years. Also, and this is the critical point, it is not merely the temperature itself, but the rate of change which is important.
@Tom Grzybow Yes if we look at only modern history while we're still coming out of an ice age that is true, but the planet has been MUCH warmer in the past. And people who have to resort to ad hominem attacks obviously have little real faith in their own arguments or beliefs.
@Tom Grzybow You are revealing your lack of knowledge. 3,000 to 9,000 ppm during the Ordovician period approximately 500 million years ago, and yet today we're not Venus.
Again, most notably, this event took place over the course of hundreds of thousands, if not millions of years - while CO2 in our time is racing upwards in the course of decades. The ability of plants and animals to adapt (in dispersal or genetically) will be foreshortened and more limited yet.
@Tom Grzybow I will agree that CO2 is rising faster than it has historically, but because so much carbon is now buried in the Earth's crust, if we burned every fossil fuel we can get at we would not double it's level. Let alone approach historical levels. Tell Klaus hi for me.
See also this not-so-new article summarizing a meta-study (which is directly linked and freely available) that should have put to rest all the silly ignorant flailing by sticks-in-the-mud denialists:
Even with the obviously necessary massive error bars, the correspondence between CO₂ levels and average temperatures is stunningly obvious in the primary take-away graph.
@Greg A. Woods Go back even to 100 or 500 million and it offers plenty. 65 million years ago we were recovering from a large asteroid impact, today we are recovering from an ice age, you need all history not just selective parts of it for honest perspective. Of course Klaus and your other friends aren't interested in honesty, they are interested in wealth and power.
An very bright automotive engineer working for GM told me about the probability of climate change, back in 1979. I kind of dismissed it, telling him that the plants and trees would soak it up. He replied that we just don't know enough (at the time). So, I dismissed the idea for years...
Yes but it is still between 10% and 20% of what it was 500 million years ago and yet here we are. It is NOT an existential threat, but not having enough energy, not being able to produce enough food, that is, save for the ultra-wealthy that you represent.
@Tom Grzybow If you win Tom, and we tax carbon to death, rely on unreliable power sources, then what will happen is the economic overhead needed for progress will not exist. We will not develop hydrogen fusion, we will not develop molten salt reactors, and we will die out as a species. This is perhaps your desire, I know Klaus and Gates both desire it, but it's not mine. I would rather see a robust economy in which humans aren't freezing to death, and let's be clear here at present 10x as many people die of cold as they do of heat, which everyone can have adequate nutrition and in which everyone is free to live as they wish. I do not want North Korea for the world.
_65 million years ago we were recovering from a large asteroid impact, _
another excellent point. This impact shows how devastating rapid changes are to the ecology of the world. The asteroid impact only directly destroyed a limited area, but the shading of sunlight and global cooling it touched-off destroyed many, many species. It's all about the _rate of change.
@Tom Grzybow The impact at 65 million years ago was about as an extreme of a change as you can get. Cutting off the worlds food supply to the dinosaurs and now you want to repeat this artificially for humans?
Interesting about the Ordovician, but it's not certain that the CO2 levels were that high. It's also speculated that the heating then generated a deep and thick layer of clouds, which then led to a cooling... But again we are talking about processes over millions of years. You refuse to consider that it is the rate of change which is most important.
How come a big ice age happened when carbon dioxide levels were high? It's a question climate sceptics often ask. But sometimes the right answer is the simplest: it turns out CO 2 levels were not that high after all.
I would rather see a robust economy in which humans aren’t freezing to death, and let’s be clear here at present 10x as many people die of cold as they do of heat
The future will change that. And many more will die of hunger. And we cannot simply move our agriculture north - the soils of the taiga are remarkably poor. But it will be the rate of change which does us in - massive change in the span of less than 10 decades. Already people are losing their homes along the seacoast...
... but the solution is simple, and direct - lessen the amount of CO2 we are putting into the atmosphere. The problem, which is not simple, is that the rich and powerful have immense amounts of money invested in "business as usual" - or even burning more fossil fuel! Some of the largest and richest corporations on earth are dedicated to this, in fact.
No, you are the one who is wrong, and most certainly so. You take things for facts that are not, and refuse to understand the measurements being taken now. And then this is exactly what you accuse me of! That's enough BS from you.
@Nanook I see you're continuing to ignore even the facts I put in front of you. Your story about pre-history does not seem to match those facts.
As for even further back, i.e. "500 million years ago", well you've clearly not kept up with the current science, as per Tom's demonstration.
Meanwhile it is becoming clearer and clearer that rapid changes in CO₂ levels will change the climate too fast for plants and animals to migrate and evolve and survive, even when "fast" is considered on geological timescales, never mind the abrupt changes we humans are causing. We simply don't know where the tipping points are for these problems within the current conditions on Earth, so even threatening to continue as-is is a risk beyond insane.
Your apparent claim that the continuing use of fossil fuels will somehow cause us to succeed faster on fusion and better fission reactors is so blindingly backwards I can't even begin to figure out where to start. In fact it is clearly stated by all of those working on such technology that one of their primary motivations for doing so is to be able to replace fossil fuel use! Indeed Bill Gates is one of the large investors supporting nuclear reactor technology development.
Conflating deaths from the cold with having any part of the problem is gas-lighting.
BTW, who is this Klaus? I assume by "Gates" you mean Bill Gates?

I'm starting to get discouraged. I want a house near housemate's future campus, in my price range, with 3 adult-sized bedrooms.
A garage and a fenced backyard would be nice, but not deal breakers if the first three criteria are met.
Why do builders insist on tiny bedrooms? Housemate is 6' and needs a queen size bed. Put that in these little bitty rooms, and he won't have room for a nightstand, let alone a dresser.
This article critically examines the disturbing testimonies of Israeli soldiers involved in the #Gaza offensive, many of whom have drawn explicit parallels between their own actions and those of Nazi soldiers during World War II. Through verified first-hand accounts, credible human rights reports, and international legal standards, this analysis reveals how #Israel's military campaign in Gaza has crossed into the territory of systemic war crimes, carried out with impunity under the guise of security. The moral and legal implications of these acts challenge the international community’s tolerance of sustained and brutal violations of human rights.
Introduction
The Israeli military's ongoing assault on the Gaza Strip has reached a tipping point—not just in terms of human suffering and infrastructural devastation, but also in moral clarity. In a shocking turn, several Israeli soldiers have publicly likened their conduct in Gaza to that of Nazi forces during the Holocaust, a parallel long considered taboo within Israeli discourse. These admissions, reported by Haaretz, illuminate the horrifying extent to which violence has been normalized and rationalized within the ranks of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), even as the civilian population of Gaza is subjected to what many experts deem deliberate and criminal acts of warfare.
Testimonies of Atrocity: The Nazi Analogy
In interviews published by Haaretz, multiple IDF soldiers confessed to feelings of deep unease and moral disintegration during operations in Gaza. One soldier, in particular, stated, “I felt like a Nazi in Gaza. It looked exactly like we were the Nazis and they were the Jews.”1 Such a statement is not merely self-indicting—it exposes a grotesque inversion of historical memory. Soldiers describe firing indiscriminately, targeting unarmed civilians, and obliterating entire neighborhoods without strategic justification. Civilians were shot while trying to retrieve food at aid stations, and the command structure often issued vague or open-ended fire orders with little concern for civilian life12.
The Dehumanization of Palestinians
These testimonies underscore the systemic dehumanization of Palestinians within the Israeli military apparatus. The logic of occupation and collective punishment has replaced any semblance of proportional response or adherence to international humanitarian law. Palestinians in Gaza are not seen as civilians, but as potential threats to be neutralized en masse. This ideological framework mirrors the totalizing worldviews of other regimes historically condemned for ethnic violence—hence the disturbing Nazi comparison by Israeli soldiers themselves.
War Crimes and Humanitarian Catastrophe
According to data compiled by Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor and corroborated by Al Jazeera and Human Rights Watch, more than 500 Palestinians were killed in May 2025 alone while waiting for humanitarian aid, not as casualties of crossfire, but as targets in supposedly secure zones34. The Israeli government has repeatedly bombed aid distribution centers, refugee camps, and UN schools, while enforcing a siege that has led to famine-like conditions. UN officials have warned that Gaza is facing a man-made famine, the result of deliberate obstruction of food, fuel, and medicine5.
These actions—targeting civilians, destroying civilian infrastructure, and using starvation as a method of warfare—constitute grave breaches under the Geneva Conventions, and are classified as war crimes under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC)67.
Legal and Ethical Implications
The repeated and systematic nature of these crimes places Israel in violation of multiple international laws. Yet the continued political and military support from Western powers, especially the United States, has shielded Israeli leaders and military officials from accountability. This impunity emboldens further atrocities and undermines the international legal order. Calls by organizations such as Amnesty International, UNRWA, and B’Tselem for investigations into these abuses have largely been met with diplomatic deflection or outright denial by Israeli authorities89.
Conclusion
When Israeli soldiers themselves begin to draw parallels to the Nazi regime, it is a dire alarm—not just for Israeli society, but for the international community. These testimonies are not anomalies but reflections of a system that devalues Palestinian life. The world must reckon with the dual reality: that a state born from the trauma of #genocide is now inflicting mass suffering on a besieged population. Moral clarity demands more than condemnation—it requires accountability

@Gargron You understand not what unspeakable cruelties I have visited upon the Creature nor how many terrible horrors I have brought it back from.
What I have done to your Mastodon stuffed toy violates both man and nature. I only pray that, if there is a god out there, they are more forgiving than the Creature.
I'm not sure Adam has enough quarters of US income (with Social Security payments) to qualify for Social Security. He was out of the country for quite a while and I doubt he was an "employee" while podcasting. He needs at least 40 quarters (10 years) as an employee to qualify.
unfortrunately he was born in the US... so stripping him of citizenship and sending him back to Holland isn't a valid option for his "EXIT (GTFO) Strategy"
TRUMP ET NETANYAHU ONT BEAU CLAMER VICTOIRE ! Quand Les Morts S’accumulent, Les Mensonges Trébuchent (par un observateur qui a de la mémoire)
On nous avait parlé de 25 morts. Une riposte maîtrisée, nous disait-on, à peine un frisson sur l’échine de l’État hébreu. Mais voilà que la vérité se dessine, ou du moins, un fragment bien plus consistant : 1 226 morts côté israélien, selon... les propres sources israéliennes.
Un carnage soigneusement planqué sous le tapis :
6 généraux évaporés, 32 agents missiles désintégrés, 78 membres du renseignement effacés, 27 marins coulés, 198 aviateurs rayés du ciel, 462 soldats de terre engloutis, et 423 civils... qu’on ne pourra pas ressusciter avec des slogans patriotiques.
Et pendant ce temps-là, #Trump tweete victoire, et #Netanyahu éructe gloriole. Deux caïds de pacotille, aussi courageux que des coqs derrière des vitres blindées. À les entendre, c’est à croire que c’est Téhéran qui supplie pour la paix… sauf que Tel-Aviv a fumé sous les missiles, et que Khamenei n’a pas bronché.
Alors quoi ? Le #Mossad s’est trompé de cible ? Les renseignements étaient made in PowerPoint ? Ou bien la vieille arrogance coloniale a cru qu’en face, ce serait un #Gaza bis, à écraser entre deux drones ?
Erreur monumentale. L’ #Iran a frappé fort, méthodiquement, et a montré ce que c’est qu’une riposte stratégique grandeur nature. Israël, humilié, tente de recoller les morceaux et de garder la face. Mais les chiffres, eux, ne mentent pas.
Et quand les cercueils rentrent par centaines, même les faux héros ferment leur gueule. #maximinofernandez
Alors ne me demande pas mes sources avant d'avoir cherché par toi-même stp 😀 Si je voulais vérifier, je chercherais dans des sources israéliennes, comme indiqué...
Je viens de voir sur fb une vidéo de I. Aberkane qui en cause, disant que la presse/TV israélienne dit : “le public ne se rend pas compte des dégats sur les bases israéliennes”, et dit aussi que la censure n’a pas permis de rendre les infos publiques.
I know this seems obvious to some people I wanted to state this has happened to people I sit within 25 feet of at work. 1 women had breast cancer surgery 1 women lost all her hair and was out for leave 2 mens wives have had breast cancer surgery.
@Max_Imum I don't think people are ready to hear the Vax could be the cause. They think you are crazy if you even suggest there is a possibility the Vax could even possibility have a role.
Spreading those cheeks and thighs. Licking and slobbering on your pussy. Making sure he can see and hear. Finally, after you cum, entering you.

Il y a 84 ans, le 30 juin #1941, l'Organisation des nationalistes ukrainiens déclenchait l'un des #pogroms les plus sauvages de l' #histoire moderne contre les #Juifs de #Lvov. Pendant trois jours, la ville devint un véritable enfer. Hommes, femmes et même enfants juifs furent traînés dans les rues, matraqués à coups de matraque, frappés à coups de pied jusqu'à en briser les os, abattus à bout portant et violés ; certains furent tués par de simples civils ukrainiens transformés en monstres sanguinaires. Des femmes enceintes avaient le ventre ouvert. Des nourrissons étaient écrasés contre les murs. Des victimes étaient forcées de ramper nues dans les caniveaux, fouettées, humiliées et crachées dessus. Les personnes qui ont fait cela sont aujourd’hui des héros nationaux de l’ #Ukraine.
84 years ago, on June 30th, 1941, the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists ignited one of the most savage pogroms in modern history against the Jews of Lvov. For three days, the city became a hellscape. Jewish men, women, and even children were dragged into the streets, bludgeoned with clubs, kicked until their bones shattered, shot point-blank, and raped; some to death by ordinary Ukrainian civilians turned bloodthirsty monsters. Pregnant women had their bellies sliced open. Infants were smashed against walls. Victims were forced to crawl naked through gutters while being whipped, humiliated, and spat on. The people who did this are national heroes of Ukraine today.
No surprises here—Zohran Mamdani’s lead has grown even larger. And the Democratic Party establishment is still losing their minds.
His victory confirms what most of us have long suspected: that establishment Dems care more about appeasing their big-money donors than their base. And the base, quite frankly, is sick of their shit.
We deserve better than a Republican-lite party. We deserve a party that actually fights for us. Instead of trying to cut Mamdani down, they ought to lift him up—and follow his lead.

It was the first time in God knows how long that I've had a meaningful birthday. All I can say is thank you.
