@mk @Phil Since I didn't get the shot, I only have microplastics in my brain....

@mk @Phil I don't know of anyone who has died from microplastics. However, researchers have only recently learned such things as the fact that people now have microplastics in their brains, and that the amount is increasing over time. Right now only ½% of our brains are microplastics. And maybe that's totally fine.

Research reveals food riddled with microplastics. In case you were thinking of just avoiding the contaminated food, here is a list of food & drink shown to contain microplastics:

- Seafood
- Meat (pork, beef and chicken)
- Fruit and vegetables
- Tofu
- Veggie burgers
- Sugar
- Honey
- Beer
- Tea
- Bottled water
... and much more

@Phil This could be a new angle for the Fermi paradox: We haven't discovered intelligent life elsewhere in the universe because at some point in their development, they contaminated all life on their planet with microplastics, and later come to realize that this is bad.

@ILoveAmericaNews Except it will be renamed, "Yugeland" 😂

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer May Cut Britain's Security Ties With U.S. Unless Trump Distances Himself From Elon Musk

@Zennagain When I first heard about Five Eyes, I thought it was about sharing info on Islamic Terror. Later on, I found out that each country wanted to surveil its own citizen, but were thwarted by civil liberties protections. BUT their international partners could do so for them.

Now whenever Rand Paul says some legislation will erode our civil liberties, I pay attention. He just did so about the DOD's proposed drone legislation that would permit the government to hoover up cellphone data.

Young, single men are flocking to the Orthodox church after discovering the “masculine” Christian religion through online influencers.

Some converts said they felt disillusioned with the “feminisation” of the Protestant church and were attracted to the “authenticity” of Orthodoxy, which they claim pushes them physically and mentally.

Priests are now planning to open new parishes to accommodate the “tsunami” of young men who have converted since the pandemic.

"Doesn't Fit MSM Narrative": Latest Arctic Ice Data Shows 26% Larger Than 2012

@KeepTakingTheSoma @LostInCalifornia I think that the 17th Amendment to the US constitution is at least partly to explain. Previously, US senators were elected by their respective state legislatures, which forced them to represent their state's regional interests. After they were elected directly by the people, instead of representing their region, they became the plaything of whichever political party funded and conducted their campaign.

@LostInCalifornia @KeepTakingTheSoma The whole point in having two US senators from each state is to represent the state which elected them.

@LostInCalifornia @KeepTakingTheSoma When a person ran for the U.S. Senate as originally conceived, it cost nothing. The candidate's campaign amounted to talking to people in the state legislature. Moving to direct elections by the populace meant that campaigns were now expensive, and the candidate became beholden to the political party that was financing him/her. The political parties grew in power, and the region that was supposedly being represented lost power

Starmer could introduce new law to block Musk from donating to Reform, minister suggests

As a US citizen, Mr Musk cannot legally make a personal donation to a UK political party but he could do so through the UK subsidiaries of his companies.

That Time the U.S Government Poisoned Alcohol on Purpose, Killing some 10,000 Americans
https://youtube.com/watch?v=a8dM6GcujxI

During the Prohibition era, the government knew that boot leggers were purifying industrial alcohol to sell as booze. So additives were added to industrial alcohol to make the purification process more difficult. Authorities realized this was killing people (plus blinding and causing other permanent impairments), but this outcome served the law breakers right, or something...

Euthanasia now responsible for 1 in 20 deaths in Canada

Assisted dying continued to have the highest usage rate in Quebec, which accounted for nearly 37% of all euthanasia deaths, despite the province holding just 22% of Canada's population.

@HebrideanHecate @Fullycaffeinated In Japan, they don't hire janitors for their primary and secondary schools. Instead, the students take turns cleaning the lavatory (and everything else) from a very young age. The result seems to be people who take responsibility for keeping their environment clean. I wish we did something like that here (I'm in the US).

Fetterman: Trump Should Be Pardoned, NYC Case Was 'Politically Motivated'

FBI investigating ‘cluster of large drones’ spotted in NJ

A cluster of large drones spotted flying over central New Jersey has sparked a federal investigation and new flight restrictions banning drones in this region (to no avail).

They appear to be larger than drones typically used by hobbyists (some are car-sized), sparking concern given their proximity to Donald Trump’s National Golf Club in Bedminster and the Picatinny Arsenal Military Base in Rockaway.

"As the specter of World War III looms with tensions rising, FEMA has stepped in with a guide to surviving a nuclear attack

FEMA: get inside, stay inside, and stay tuned. Initially, individuals should seek shelter in the nearest building, remove any contaminated clothing, and position themselves as far away from windows and walls as possible, ideally in the basement or middle of the structure.

Remain indoors for at least 24 hours"
