FOMO is whack and RTFA is super cool. Pass it on!
Was looking for a little history of the company and found a decent brief read from Scientific American mag, 2013, just in case anyone wanted the same.
I’d forgotten how the FDA in the USA focused on regulating the medical equipment itself, and how the company basically just ignored all attempts to stop it.
TIL the nazi president and his rubberstamp king invoked The Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which I also just learned “is intended to be invoked when the country is at war or if a foreign nation has invaded the U.S. or has issued threats that they will.”

“For nonbinary and trans people, we’re under attack every single day. So, maybe just limit social media and try to be present for the beauty of life that’s right in front of you. It’s very hard to dwell on things you can’t control. Try to control the things you can.” - Valentina
“Trans people will always exist and we love you forever and ever. You are beautiful the way that you are. Hold onto the people who see you and love you and know you. Be with the people who get you. Don’t get sucked into your phone. You can take a break and remember that you are safe.” - Betty Who

Speaking before the new leader was announced, former prime minister Jean Chrétien said Trump had united Canadians “like never before” and jokingly called on him to receive the country’s highest honours as thanks.
Saucy Chrétien’s my favourite Chrétien.
The fact that the final 3 paragraphs on this ‘news story’ are about Meghan Markel’s estranged uncles fathers dads cousin or whatever being “scathing about Meghan’s fruit platters” (seriously! click OP’s link and scroll down) should tell you everything you need to know about this media slop in your Feed.
Imagine Bryton and Tyler showing up at your workplace in the middle of a crisis to take selfies and tweet about how they fixed your problems.
Maybe they’ll have the best dysentery? That’s not nothin.
Meanwhile, our ACTUAL PM is saying things like:
“The most important thing right now — more important than anything else — is for Canadians to remain united. This is a time for us to pull together.”
and
Tariffs are the USA’s plan to “see a complete collapse of the Canadian economy. Because that will make it easier to annex us, is the second part of his thought. That is never going to happen. Canada will never be the 51st state”
But that doesn’t make good accelerationist bluster for headlines, so all the Yankee media will ignore it in favour of Canadaman Dougie.
Acting like nothing is happening here feels way scarier than losing my job. - Yankee patriot, Lucy Welch
Damn. Found my new favourite folk song. ty
A dragon slayer and a rogue fair maiden meet in the halls of justice. The beginning of a merry band of adventurers!
80 years old! That homecoming party is going to be absolutely epic.
op, ty for the good news today.
Peltier, an enrolled member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians in North Dakota, was active in the American Indian Movement, which beginning in the 1960s fought for Native American treaty rights and tribal self-determination.
The group grabbed headlines in 1969 when activists occupied the former prison island of Alcatraz in the San Francisco Bay, and again in 1972, when they presented presidential candidates with a list of demands including the restoration of tribal land. After they were ignored, they seized the headquarters of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
From then on, the group was subject to FBI surveillance and harassment under a covert program that sought to disrupt activism and was exposed in 1975.
Peltier’s conviction stemmed from a confrontation that year on the Oglala Sioux Indian Reservation in Pine Ridge, South Dakota, in which FBI agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams were killed. According to the FBI, the agents were there to serve arrest warrants for robbery and assault with a dangerous weapon.
Prosecutors maintained at trial that Peltier shot both agents in the head at point-blank range. Peltier acknowledged being present and firing a gun at a distance, but he said he fired in self-defense. A woman who claimed to have seen Peltier shoot the agents later recanted her testimony, saying it had been coerced.
He was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder and given two consecutive life sentences.

“The cult of empathy.” jfc…
Creating Caucasians/Aryans remains the stupidest science. Bunch of hateful twits obsessed with bullshit like where Noah’s Arc was and measuring their own heads. Filthy rotten fuckers, every one of them. Paved the way for shit like
A 2016 survey revealed that of 222 white American medical students and residents, nearly 60% thought Black people’s skin is thicker than white peoples, and 12% thought Black people’s nerve endings were less sensitive than those of white people.

Did he hire show pony nazis too?
This “Democrats are the reason we have nazis now” thing is giving “Daddy drinks because you cry.” The apathy it generates only helps the worst side keep winning.
Because it’s nuts. People scolding the remaining leftists online and debating which sort of voting system they’d appreciate the democrats advocating for next time, meanwhile their Treasury Department now answers to completely unqualified culty broccoli-headed 20 year olds, there’s birth quotas for roads funding and nazis are snatching kids from classrooms, the Pres talking about putting immigrants in Guantanamo.
The only way Both Sides nonsense is productive is if the goal is to keep people arguing online. O shi
