In my office bathroom, there are two light switches: one at the entrance, one at the very far end after a row of stalls. You have to turn both switches on, if you only turn the one at the entrance on, the bathroom is very dimly lit, with barely any light peeking into the stalls.
People are so goddamn lazy that they would rather sit in the stalls, shitting in the dark, than walk across the bathroom to turn on the second light switch.
"Shitting in the Dark." Sounds like a country song.

"Revealed: #Harvard publisher cancels entire journal issue on #Palestine shortly before publication."
theguardian.com/education/2025…
PS: This doesn't pass the smell test. If there's a good explanation, the press needs to make it clearer. According to the article, it worried about charges of antisemitism. All right. But it's hard to believe that this step was the best way to act on those worries. One of the authors with an article in the issue put it this way: “You just don’t solicit work, peer review it, have people sign contracts, advertise the articles, and then cancel not just one article, but an entire special issue.”

I don't think people do understand what an autistic talent looks like. Yeah, one person can break the entire magic system, but what does it actually mean? Does it disprove some huge rule of the universe? Does it mean, that anyone can do it with few years of training? NO!!!! 
Just think about it. Because I am an IT guy, and I can say with absolute certainty, that in IT, it literally works the same fucking way.
Because 80% of population barely can gasp how to use the computer to do some math for them. Excel tables are the peak of computer knowledge, they can possibly achieve.
Then you have the 1%ters, who can work in IT security. Who understand the code, and can possibly even work on a hacking protextion software........
And then, there is that ONE FURRY, who can out-troll the entire fucking industry, and hack his way around that software made by 1 000 talented individuals on his own anyway.

Jacksonville, FL – On Saturday, July 19, workers answered the call by the North Florida Future Labor Leaders to protest HR 86, the NOSHA Act, which would abolish the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
Union teachers, plumbers, electricians, warehouse workers and city employees gathered at the steps of Jacksonville city to demand, “No to NOSHA.”
Shayne Tremblay, president of the North Florida Future Labor Leaders (NFFLL) and a rank-and-file electrician with IBEW Local 177 stated, “Prior to the Occupational Safety and Health Act being signed into law, this country was facing an epidemic of workers getting injured and dying on the job. OSHA was passed to stop this by holding companies accountable for the safety and health of their workers. Abolishing OSHA would set us back in time to a period where companies can treat workers as disposable again.”
Though OSHA protections are often thought about in the context of heavy industry and construction, OSHA covers all workers in the U.S.
Ashleigh Rondon, a rank-and-file plumber and member of UA Local 234, stated, “Workers won’t be safe unless we have regulations requiring their safety. The companies we work for are only looking out for themselves. And that goes for any industry – healthcare, construction, factory workers, anybody. Everybody needs OSHA. We need OSHA to ensure people make it home in one piece.”
Alysin Allmon, a rank-and-file Teamster, described how unorganized workers are especially at risk, “Many of us here are covered by unions that guarantee us safe working conditions and even healthcare. But many people who would be affected, if they got hurt, may not get help because they can't afford to, may not ever receive compensation because the companies possibly wouldn't have to. Agencies like OSHA prevent these accidents that could easily put people out of work, or result in deaths.”
Mike Sterling of IBEW 2358 and a member of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists told the crowd, “OSHA is a government that we pay for; its purpose is to ensure that companies don’t put profit over people. Let’s send a message to Washington that worker safety is nothing to mess with.”
Between speeches, anyone within earshot of City Hall could hear union workers chanting “Who’s got the power? We got the power! What kind of power? Worker power!” The rally concluded with a booming chant of “No to NOSHA! Kill the bill!”

#PIX is the future of #money!
"I can’t help noticing that Pix is actually achieving what #cryptocurrency boosters claimed, falsely, to be able to deliver through the blockchain—low transaction costs and financial inclusion. Compare the 93% of Brazilians using Pix to the 2% of Americans who used cryptocurrency to buy something or make a payment in 2024.
Oh, and using Pix doesn’t create an incentive to kidnap people and torture them until they give up their crypto keys."

@Zardoz — Dr Mike Yeadon speaks clearly in this interview about no longer believing the traditional viral theories.
I’m curious to hear how he’s regarded by you and others in the ohmisphere. 🤔
Good Morning! Happy to help!
Oh we had such high hopes for Mike! We even called him “Mr. Sparkle“ in our neck of the interwoods For a time. He was one of the last people we had to cross off the good guy list.
Like all the controlled opposition meddler-types, he gets quite a bit of the story correct, but not enough to get us out of the mental trap.
He is correct to doubt viral theory—it is an absolute mess of pseudoscience.
Unfortunately if you listen to Mike and repeat what he says, you will be mislead, especially if you take his message to be an endorsement of the ”NO VIRUS” position (the Baileys, Andrew Kaufman, Tom Cowan) which is also controlled opposition.
I watched this FINAL warning, and the dead giveaway here is his heavy promotion and endorsement of Sasha Latypova who is a certified controlled opposition meddler and nasty piece of work.
She is a former pharma big shot, like Yeadon. He is clearly trying to get OUT of this operation and pass his character’s script over to her. This is basically all you need as proof that he is not a good guy.
Edit: (h/t @OisinPage) The second dead giveaway that Mike is con-op is the conspicuous absence of the words ”Transfection / transformation”—words which lead you right to the heart of understanding the synthetic recombinant technologies behind the creation of all biologics (like mRNA jabs) and exposes the con behind virology at the same time. Mike knows how biologics are made and understands transformation / Transfection, but won’t teach it to his audience despite being Implored by @jjcouey for YEARS.
Any so-called truth teller should be educating their audience about the realities of synthetic recombinant DNA / RNA technologies. NOT confusing people or leading them to make fools of themselves when interacting on social media wirh “experts”.
Hope this helps!

>>Thread: Das Interview mit Katharina König-Preuß ist ein typisches Beispiel für die diskursive Strategie progressiver Israel-Unterstützer*innen angesichts des immer offensichtlicheren Genozids in Gaza und der fortschreitenden Faschisierung Israels. Diese Strategie umfasst drei Elemente:<
Fragt man sich ab wann man nicht mehr so tun kann als müsste man sich nicht entscheiden.
Außerdem:
"Antisemitisch wird es dann, wenn jemand das Existenzrecht Israels infrage stellt oder an Israel Standards anlegt, die an andere Staaten nicht angelegt werden"
Also wenn man an Israel die Standards anlegen würde, die man z.B. an Russland anlegt, dann wäre das Land bereits isoliert.
