Former CIA officer reveals how John Brennan manipulated the Trump-Russia intelligence assessment, using the discredited Steele Dossier despite warnings to target President Trump
@HighHorseStrong 🩸 What's more the version spilled on the floor isn't all that hazardous, people used to drink a pound as a cure for constipation because it is heavy and would force things through but it is not readily absorbed into human tissue in metallic form, now add a methyl group to it and you've got a substance that even the tiniest skin contact is guaranteed death but that's not the metallic form.
Trump used “remigration” again — MOTHER JONES: “Rooted in the debunked Great Replacement theory, favored by European far-right & White nationalist extremists it calls for mass expulsion of non-ethnically European immigrants regardless of citizenship.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
The State Department is reportedly creating an office for "remigration": a far-right policy that calls for what has been described as "soft-style ethnic cleansing."
I'll be honest, I hate these thing. It's an architectural concept that doesn't actually work in real life or else it requires someone with both gardening qualifications and abseiling qualifications to maintain it, which is to say it costs too much to keep it up. It looks great, but the logistics of maintenance render it stupid again.
@whuffo, yeah. I just think about what do you do with anything you trim? Let it fall several storeys to the ground? Take it down in the elevator? How do you get to it? Through the apartments? I don't see it as something you'd be able to keep under control. I don't see this as sustainable.
I've worked in buildings with plants - those roots and limbs can really tear things apart.
I prefer the notion of sustainable, livable cities and towns rather than focusing on individual buildings.
My own personal notion is that we ought to build like European towns of the pre-industrial era, town squares for people to gather, surrounded by low rise buildings (five or six floors max, with setbacks to avoid being oppressive.) With retail on the ground levels, light commercial on 2nd level, and residential on the higher levels. No cars except for delivery, emergency, and disabled access (parking areas under the square and buildings.). This would continue back away from the square for small number of "rings". These square-based townlets can be replicated and abutted together to form larger urban forms. The key is to push the automobile onto a few roads rather than having roads and cars as the dominant form. Public transit would also be a key.
No one expects each unit to do their own plumbing, but people see some plants and think that everyone has to be a gardener? Of course the building will hire someone to maintain this. They'll use the same infrastructure they use to wash the windows. Singapore has been doing it successfully for years.
Professionally, by education, I was a gardener. I did roof gardens, but those buildings' plants have to be maintained by specialists who can work at height, and I'm guessing it involves cordoning off the area below where they're working. People with the qualifications to do that work are not easy to find and they're expensive. Trees do not belong on high-rise apartment buildings.
As someone who has to maintain buildings, any growth anywhere on the building is a headache. Some microbes find a way to break down what should be sealants that are supposed to last 20 years...and I have a surprise roof leak that requires a lot of cleaning and resealing. I suspect the microbes can make proteins that leverage the UV light from the sun to help break the strong bonds quicker. Something like a roof replacement for a building is not cheap, about a million dollars and a lot of labor over many months...
We had residents letting their dogs shit in the roof gardens, or throwing their trash into the planted areas. Sometimes stuff just died for no reason or it would grow too thick and cut off light to one side of the roof garden. It really is just a headache. At ground-level, it's doable. On a building, not so much.
I left one apartment, because residents were violating the no-dogs rules...and their dogs would urinate in the elevators every morning. Untrained dogs in buildings aaaaaaaaaaaghgggghhgh
The architects who design these buildings are not thinking in terms of maintenance. One of our roof gardens you had to get everything in the wheelbarrow and take it up in the elevator, and anything you trimmed you had to either throw over the railing down to the trailer without hitting anyone, or you had to take it down in the elevator. Another one had steps, but the treads were all a meter and a half broad, so taking a wheelbarrow up that was impossible. We had to carry it down in tubs. Parking is also always a nightmare at these places, for some reason.
I'm doing other work now, but being a gardener taught me a lot about the more practical aspects of things.
Vero Beach, Fla. - Utah plastic surgeon Dr. Kirk Moore is facing thirty five years in federal prison for destroying thousands of vials of COVID-19 vaccine, giving his patients vaccine cards without taking the shots, and injecting saline into children whose parents wanted them to believe they got vaccinated without risking the deadly side effects.
Dr. Michael Kirk Moore Jr., 58, who operates his practice Plastic Surgery Institute of Utah, Inc. in Salt Lake County, Utah, begins his trial on Monday, July 7, 2025, at the Orrin G. Hatch U.S. Courthouse, located at 351 S. West Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah.

Zohran Mamdani: “What we’re seeing in President Trump’s rhetoric is an attempt to focus on who I am, where I’m from, what I look like, how I sound, as opposed to what I’m actually fighting for, because to do so would be to display the stark contrast in our sincerity and actually delivering for the very working people who’ve been left behind by our politics.”

@Mark ☑️ I can only say at this point I really want a choice. I was tired of the DemonRats always starting wars, now the Repugnicans are doing the same, both are getting huge amounts of money from AIPAC, both can't keep their dicks in their pants so are being blackmailed by Mossad, and both are beholden to the military-industrial-intelligence-complex. No amount of voting seems to change this so more options are needed.
Ramallah, July 5 (Prensa Latina) From the heart of the Gaza Strip, subjected to death at every moment, I call on mediators to work for an immediate and comprehensive humanitarian truce, Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basal said.
My understanding is that Mitt Romney, (who fortunately can afford it after the career of corporate raiding) has to spend some millions of dollars per year on security for himself and his family.
Not to protect himself from liberals on the other side, but from his own side, because he criticized Trump and voted against him.
This has been going on for several years now. Don't recall it in the news much.

the womb-like roundabout signifies a return to the earth mother; its ovoid shape reminds one of the womb, and it functions as a method for avoiding conflict.
compare this to the american 4-way intersection. drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians confront one another from all directions, and immediately find themselves entangled in conflict; the resolution of which can be brought about by respecting our great nation's laws, or else by sheer force.

@DrFell They use the $$ on another road but they must notify US DOT of what they are doing so records stay correct. New road must be pre-approved for Federal funds.
@🌈Magical Thinking I don't have a problem with rainbows, I have a problem with people taking what was God's sign of the covenant and turning it into a symbol for butt-fucking.
It won't make a damn bit of difference, but most of the bike lanes, pedestrian islands and public transportation projects have called out "safety" as their motivation. This decision contradicts their claim.
The rainbow crosswalks and BLM street murals are a distraction.

There is a conflict between the static and dynamic conceptions of anarchism, between those who want to gregarize and stabilize anarchism and those who want the revolutionary, individualist spirit to remain and simmer permanently within anarchism. -- Emile Armand
Brits can sleep safely tonight, after the heroic work of the Metropolitan Police. The Reverend Sue Parfitt, 83, a retired priest, was arrested in Parliament Square for holding a sign which read:
“I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”
Under British law, this now puts her in the same category as an ISIS or Al-Qaeda terrorist. The courts may impose a prison sentence of up to 14 years, to protect the public against the existential threat posed by this very dangerous woman.
is it bad that my first thought was "someone needs to create a new organisation called Action for Palestine and just do all the same shit Palestine Action was doing but as a different group"?
