You have not seen pure, unfiltered hate until scrolling this Reddit sub for annoying commercials. I’m pretty sure the mods are gonna declare the topic off-limits because it’s all anyone talks about lately 😩

Buried in this story that everyone’s leaving out of the conversation is that he blames Jews for creating the FDA to ban “holistic” health treatments and make everyone sick to profit off of them. It always, always, always comes back to antisemitism. It’s the core that rots everything from center out
"In 1933 when the Rothschilds FDA came along the first thing they went after was radium water... not vaxxines [sic], dirty electricity, or pesticides," he wrote in the video's caption. "Gee I wonder why... healthy people don't yield large profits."

@gregpak.net is there a standalone video of your Prydain presentation? I’m trying to convince a friend with a middle school age kid that he should give it to them to read.

When mask bans were first being enacted, disabled people warned they marked a return to Ugly Laws. They were a crucial step towards eliminating us from public life. They were designed to make us hide away, unable to safely exist in public. Disabled people are the canaries in the coal mine.

a state that acts in your name without your consent is killing people which you oppose and have spoken out against repeatedly. how dare you also speak out about your desire to not be harassed/assaulted/murdered for it.

The Buffalo Bills - singlehandedly healing international rifts.
Buffalo,
we could hear you singing from here.
At your home opener, many of you stood up and sang O Canada. What a moment.
Us Canadians sang along, from the stadium, in sports bars, and on couches across the country.
Then you put it on billboards across Southern Ontario. We're still singing it, you said. We be lieved you.
Well, we want to return the feeling.
On Saturday, October 3rd, the sky over Niagara Falls will go red, white and blue in Buffalo Bills colours.
You're invited. Come across the bridge, find a spot along the river and soak it all in. We'll be right there with you.
We've shared this river a long time. We share the view, the mist, a lot of family, and even more Bills games. Thanks for being a neighbour.

My local farm stand ended its season a month early and it’s closed now 😭 I’m speculating it’s because a late frost killed Jersey’s entire peach crop, it was a horrifically bad tomato season thanks to the intense heat and endless rain, and their three biggest sellers are peaches, tomatoes, and corn

TIL there’s a fish that lives in the lowest depths of the Congo River that has stunted growth, no color pigment, and no eyes. And locally it’s called “mondeli bureau,” which translates to “white man in an office” LMAO

A funny thing to do in NYC is if you accidentally bump someone you say “I’m so sorry!” and watch their stunned brains try to comprehend the politeness Also try holding a door open for someone. Or just smile at people. Also, BTW, they will LOVE it and all of a sudden you have an immediate friend

Okay, horse people! Our elementalist, having escaped the burning building, is now pursued on horseback. How deep an unexpected mud puddle around one set of hooves will temporarily trap or at least freak out a horse? Horse is reasonably well trained but is somewhat stressed because magical fog.

I finished my Eureka rewatch and now I’m rewatching Warehouse 13 and if I became a billionaire I would fund a streaming service that produces scifi/fantasy shows that are 16 to 23 eps of silly fun, none of which are blockbuster high budget dramas and all of which have a guaranteed 4 season minimum.

The thing about Joyce Carol Oates is she posts like a monkey with a gun. She'll get off five good posts where you're like "Yeah! You tell 'em!" but then the seventh post will have to be an apology for the sixth post accidentally supporting race science or something.

Everyone’s gonna memory hole this like they do her racism and antisemitism but this is your regular reminder that Joyce Carol Oates fucking sucks and just because she sometimes makes a funny tweet doesn’t erase how much she fucking sucks.
