@lain Mindwalk (1990) is the most intimate cinematic love letter ever filmed to Mont Saint-Michel. The camera lingers on its stone alleys, tidal flats, and wind-washed ramparts as if the island itself were the main character. Through quiet dialogue and slow pacing, you experience a complete walking tour—its abbey, bridges, and tides—while its beauty frames deep reflections on life, science, and meaning. If you dream of visiting Mont Saint-Michel, this film lets you live there for a day.
If the standard becomes “your words hurt me, so I can kill you,” we aren’t arguing about civility — we’re handing victory to the law of the jungle. Words can wound. They do not give license to murder. That logic — “he disrespected me, so he must die” — is indistinguishable from “snitches get stitches.”
It’s a precedent that breaks every social institution that prevents chaos. If society is changing, our response must be legal, not lethal: stronger law enforcement, better de-escalation training, mental-health support, and community accountability. Violence as speech-control is a road to collapse.
Calling on police to babysit people who threaten murder is cowardice dressed up as “de-escalation.” If someone believes words = violence, the duty isn’t only on law enforcement — it’s on that person to adult: shut up, get help, accept consequences. Society should refuse to infantilize violent threats: strip status, lose jobs, get banned, get held to civil and criminal standards. Accountability isn’t just a cop’s job.
> "COVID was a nothing burger. Officials lumped flu, RSV, pneumonia, even cold deaths into “COVID,” which is why flu seemingly vanished 2020-23. Outdoors was always safe, yet lockdowns enriched pharma and testing firms. “With COVID” counted everything, even gunshot victims, inflating the toll."
A kind warning: if you think this tragedy will move America toward gun control, you may be misreading the moment. Charlie Kirk wasn’t just a pundit to his supporters — he was their MLK. His violent death won’t discredit the 2A cause; it will sanctify it. Expect more guns sold, more ammo stockpiled, and a movement that feels even more under siege. Martyrdom doesn’t weaken a movement — it makes it immortal.
@Karma_J@jeffowski > A Pyrrhic victory is a triumph achieved at such a tremendous cost that it negates the value of the win, essentially making it a defeat in the long run. The term comes from King Pyrrhus of Epirus, who suffered devastating losses to his army after winning battles against the Romans, leading him to famously exclaim, "One more such victory and we are lost".
