Some of you are getting too comfy saying that billionaires, AI tech bros, and all the other assholes have to have some psychiatric condition because being a complete utter greedy mean-spirited troll of a person must mean they're crazy. As an actual "crazy" person, fuck you.

This is Huckleberry, an animal ambassador at the Nashville Zoo. Huckleberry is a Javan ferret-badger (Melogale orientalis) & I think he is amazing, but you need to meet the rest of the ferret-badger crew (babies incoming 😃). Let's learn about ferret-badgers!

I saw this painting in London ~15 years ago. It is indeed very impressive, blown up and jutting out from a wall, and it probably meets the bare minimum of being "transformative" to dodge actual copyright law. But the moment I saw it began my active *disrespect* for Lichtenstein.

Do you know what to do if you feel earthquake shaking? If you live in North America and the ground starts to shake the recommended action is to “drop, cover, and hold on”.

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."

Meanwhile, the French school protests have apparently brought the country to its worst days since the French Revolution. Police are being lynched, with their bodies hung from lampposts; 100s of schools destroyed, and white people are being ethnically cleansed. None of this is true.
@RealAlexJones
France is fighting for its life and has officially entered a Civil War that will soon eclipse the French revolution.
Police officers are being lynched in the streets and hung from light poles.
Any white person who dares to show their face on the street is viciously attacked.
The official death toll is being suppressed, but dead bodies are everywhere.

HPV vaccines reduce the risk of cervical cancer by 80% in women vaccinated by 16. Yet even 20 years after its introduction, only 63% of U.S. teens have completed the vaccination series. Read this 3-part series: bit.ly/3RSbKIL
Quote that states, "Something I’d never heard of almost killed me."

Text on graphic reads, "Michael Whelan came in for arthritis, and left with a diagnosis of stage 4 HPV-related cancer in his throat. As rates of cervical cancer have fallen, head and neck tumors have emerged as the most common HPV-related cancer."

Image of Michael Whelan in hospital. Graphic with quote, "I tell everybody,
‘This can happen to you’. But it is preventable… You do not have to die from this.”

Text on graphic reads, "Jennifer Simpson is a cervical cancer survivor who lost her uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. Now she helps raise awareness about the importance of prevention in Alabama — the first U.S. state to launch a formal strategic plan to eliminate cervical cancer."

Image of Jennifer Simpson is at the top of the graphic. Graphic with text that reads, "The efficacy of the HPV vaccine has made eliminating cervical cancer achievable. Nearly 200 nations have committed to eliminating cervical cancer. The United States has not. Only 63% of U.S. teens have completed the vaccination series. And there are significant gaps in screening and follow-up care."Quote on graphic by Tamika Felder cervical cancer survivor and founder of Cervivor.

“No one should be diagnosed with or die from a cancer we have the ability to prevent.”

Text below quote reads, "Delivering on the promise of the HPV vaccine will require a coordinated national strategy to increase awareness, vaccinations, screenings, and follow-ups."
