Elon Musk is repeatedly insisting, no, no, there’s a difference between what I’m doing and being a Nazi. And what the model keeps telling him is, statistically, that’s not the case

Life reminder. If you are poor you can’t afford cheap stuff. Today I learned a good lesson. If a paint is super cheap it also means it’s super bad. Had to spend quite some money on paint today (mistake number one was the idea to paint cupboards instead of just doors as those are visible), and seeing how much it will cost (basically the cost of making the entire furniture so far), I figured I would hack the system and grab the paint that was three times cheaper. Pressing fast-forward few hours I’m back in the shop buying the expensive paint. That piece of crap I bought stood nowhere near a paint. More like colored water at best.

La cour d’appel de Paris a ordonné, jeudi 17 juillet, dans la matinée, la libération de Georges Ibrahim Abdallah le 25 juillet prochain. Après 41 ans d’enfermement dans les prisons françaises, il sera autorisé à quitter son centre pénitentiaire à condition de quitter le territoire.#charlespasqua #georgesibrahimabdallah #israël #liban #mossad #palestine

An 80-year-old pensioner with severe mobility problems has spoken out about his eviction from a rental property, claiming civilian tenants have been poorly treated since 2020.

Colin Hall told a staggered Nigel Farage on GB News he felt "very disgusted" with the treatment of civilian tenants, suggesting properties may have been allocated to Afghan refugees instead.

"We didn't know whether Afghan refugees were being put in our properties and we still don't,"Hall said.

According to a recent Speech First report, the nation’s leading medical schools are controlled by Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion fanatics, who inflict beliefs such as “weight inclusivity,” racial justice, and gender ideology on their staff and students through policies, forced statements, and curricular mandates.

in reply to YoungBlood

Filed in the fall of 2024, “Critical Condition” analyzed public records from FOIA requests from 54 of the country’s top medical schools, and the results are alarming.

For example, the University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School offers a “Developing Outstanding Clinical Skills” program that teaches students to embrace “weight inclusivity,” arguing that weight-loss strategies foster a “culture of shame.” Students are also instructed to avoid terms such as “overweight” or “obese.”

More sleaze and corruption. NIH needed reforms for sure--but of course, wholesale destruction and theft were not on order. Fuck Scheißeführer Drumpf.

@meowski "Saturn" being satanic is just christians backwards projecting any thing ever associated with a pagan religion as satanic. You can use Saturn for its scientific or symbolic meanings without believing in the roman imperial cult. It's like how christians are scared of goats because the Israelites put all their sin in a scapegoat. Scared of themselves basically lmao

Wie die #Nationalsozialisten mit angeblich "Arbeitsscheuen" oder "Asozialen" umgingen, ist bislang nur wenig erforscht. Der Stuttgarter Historiker Sebastian Wenger hat dazu eine umfassende Studie verfasst – und erklärt im Kontext-Gespräch, warum das Thema hochaktuell ist.

Last night was invited to go see The Rose City Band, in Toronto (very chill and psychedelic btw) and there’s a local audiophile recording fan that asked the band’s permission to hook up his audio equipment (some really cool Zoom recorders and some mics…one right off the sound board).

We asked why and then proceeds to tell us a pretty cool story about
John Coltrane – Live in Antibes, France (July 26 or 27, 1965).
Apparently there were only 2 recordings of those famous performances…the official recording and a bootleg from some fan.

"Discover the enchanting sounds of The Corrs' 'What Can I Do', a poignant track that explores themes of longing and introspection. Released on the '90s' album in 2019, this song brings back the nostalgic essence of the band's earlier work while showcasing their timeless appeal."

🎵 L Y R I C S 🎵:
I haven't slept at all in days
It's been so long since we have talked
And I have been here many times
I just don't know what I'm doing wrong

What can I do to make you love me?
What can I do to make you care?
What can I say to make you feel this?
What can I do to get you there?

There's only so much I can take
And I just gotta let it go
And who knows I might feel better, yeah
If I don't try and I don't hope

What can I do to make you love me?
What can I do to make you care?
What can I say to make you feel this?
What can I do to get you there?

No more waiting, no more aching
No more fighting, no more trying

Maybe there's nothing more to say
And in a funny way I'm calm
Because the power is not mine
I'm just gonna let it fly

What can I do to make you love me?
(What can I do to make you love me?)
What can I do to make you care?
(What can I do to make you care?)
What can I say to make you feel this?
(What can I do to make you love me?)
What can I do to get you there?
(What can I do to make you care?)

What can I do to make you love me?
(What can I do to make you love me?)
What can I do to make you care?
(What can I do to make you care?)
What can I change to make you feel this?
(What can I do to make you love me?)
What can I do to get you there?
(What can I do to make you love me?)

And love me (love me)
Love me, love me (love me, love me)
Love me, love me (love me, love me)
And love me, love me (love me, love me)
Love me, love me (love me, love me)
Love me (love me, love me)
Love (Love me, love me)

In Berlin gelten ab heute alle Nahverkehrsmittel und Bahnhöfe als Messerverbotszone. Das ist eine massive Ausweitung der Kontroll- und Durchsuchungsbefugnisse der Polizei. Der Sicherheitsgewinn steht nicht im Verhältnis zum Grundrechtseingriff.

Okay but that creates a paradox in your definition of "white", because borderers are widely known for being more violent, criminal and uncivilized than Irish or Italians.

I mean even the British preferred to deal with the Irish themselves but banish the Borderers to the New World, and the colonists refused them entry to their colonies (even the Quakers refused to let them in!) that should tell you everything you need to know about them.

Israel is “undermining Syrian sovereignty”with “impunity”

The Corrs - Summer Sunshine [4K] - (Official Music Video)


"Immerse yourself in the uplifting vibes of The Corrs' 'Summer Sunshine', a vibrant track that radiates warmth and joy. Featured on the 'Borrowed Heaven (U.S. Version)' album, this song perfectly encapsulates the essence of summer, blending pop and Celtic influences for an unforgettable listening experience."

🎵 L Y R I C S 🎵:
Everyone's changing, I stay the same, I'm
A solo cello outside a chorus
I've got a secret
It's time for me to tell, you've been keeping me warm

Just sweet beginnings and bitter endings
In coffee city, we borrowed Heaven
Don't give it back, I've never felt so wanted
Are you taking me home?

You tell me you have to go?

In the heat of summer sunshine
I miss you like nobody else
In the heat of summer sunshine
I kiss you and nobody needs to know

Now that you've left me, there's no returning
I keep comparing, you're always winning
I try to be strong, but you'll never be more wanted
Will you make me at home?

Don't tell me you have to go

In the heat of summer sunshine (summer sunshine)
I miss you like nobody else
In the heat of summer sunshine (summer sunshine)
I kiss you, and nobody needs to know

To sweet beginnings and bitter endings
In coffee city, we borrowed Heaven
Don't give it back
Winter is coming, and I need to stay warm

In the heat-

In the heat of summer sunshine (summer sunshine)
I miss you like nobody else
In the heat of summer sunshine (summer sunshine)
I kiss you, and nobody knows

In the heat of summer sunshine (summer sunshine)
I miss you like nobody else
In the heat of summer sunshine (summer sunshine)
I kiss you and nobody needs to know

Summer sunshine, sunshine, sunshine
