Women get cooler, smarter, & better with age so the idea that society sees them as less hot is just cos our beauty standards are steeped in pedophilia. You can say blah blah fecundity all day, but then why are superthin women prized? It's about naivete & obedience. PERIOD

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

The U.S. President discussed the war in Iran, press freedom, AI, and more ahead of the midterm elections.

Trump loves Grok because as he finds it increasingly harder to think due to his frontotemporal dementia, he is pleased to outsource his thinking. And, as he is increasingly unable to evaluate things for logic & clarity, he finds Grok to be useful/reliable.

Yes they are evil but they love rape specifically because it's a hierarchal operation. They believe women (who are the victims of majority of rapes) are lessee than men, so men can do what they want to them. So ofc to children too.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a new antibiotic, known as manikomycin, that may be a bulwark in the fight against drug-resistant superbugs. By attacking the ribosome in a never-before-seen way, manikomycin can evade the existing mechanisms pathogens have developed to resist antibiotics.

Let’s add perspective: nearly 2,000 CDC staff were deployed in the last Ebola outbreak. Only 100 have been deployed this year. This outbreak is on track to surpass the last.

Did you watch it live? It was a fun show until the episodes started ticking down & it was clear they weren't going to explain everything. It was a fun show until the BS ending. To be real, I don't even like sci-fi/fantasy, I started watching cos I thought it was like a survival/disaster drama.

I have not watched it since it was on TV live & I couldn't even begin to list all of the things that go unanswered; & I assume a number of them are from S1. As for the ending, among other things I no longer remember, there is no goddamn way Sayid & Shannon are soulmates.

Meg @prayingmantis.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
I don't think you can say that about Lost S1 cos it sets up SO many things that go unanswered even after all those seasons. And ofc the ending is the biggest bunch of bullshit.

Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted: there is no excuse for the way ME sufferers have been betrayed | George Monbiot
Changes in guidance and science seem to have little impact on millions of devastated lives. It’s a social crisis playing out behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

What irritates me most about the "covid is no big deal" crowd is that there's growing evidence that unexplained neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's are actually caused, at least in part, by repeated exposure to viral pathogens over a lifetime.
