American exceptionalism is the bill of goods they sold you so that you wouldn't realize that other countries give workers rights, reasonable minimum wages, and health care that isn't job dependent.

Lovely! I want to get something but am still being indecisive beyond "something nature-y", maybe a fern to start?

After they made opposition to the search a key pillar of their election campaign.... actions speak louder than words, so I will wait to see if this apology effects change in their behaviour.

Unless you're Nic and purposely try and breed dogs who don't hold their tails curled high! Also, like your tattoo!

More than just lying: He has no relationship with what we'd call "reality." He is someone who has decided his internal reality must become everybody else's, by force. If anyone else agrees with him, they are good. If they don't, they are bad. That's it.

Was it Jules who was trying to run on the snowbank instead of the trail? Or maybe he just really likes running wide?

Fascism's core goal isn't to turn majority fascist.
It's to paralyze the majority into stunned inaction.
Once people are in motion against fascism, you are turning the tide.
Even if the action is a bit cringe.

yes! The switch from 'those evil Soviets' (in Ev stories, but also every action film for decades) to the Russia-worship is fascinating.

I started a re-watch (though I hadn't seen all episodes originally, as I caught them in reruns back in the day) earlier this month!

Men in suits, speaking in abstract language in civil tones in finely furnished rooms, have body counts no serial killer could ever hope to match.
And yet they're not perceived as being horrifically violent.

This is why I keep repeating that everyone who has ever had a LiveJournal account should treat any password they've ever used on LiveJournal, for any account, as permanently and irrevocably compromised and never use it again.

I believe this has happened in certain sports -- I'm pretty sure I heard that Olympic shooting used to be combined until a woman won, men got sad, now it's split?
I don't think that's generalized to all sports though

No kidding! I saw an IG sponsored post for his company a year or two ago, got one kit, then kept going! Other than making Christmas ornaments for kids (w google for snowflake and fonts) I haven't ventured much beyond to other pattern sites for the same reason. He does a lot of nature, uses neg space

Also, cutting contraception programs is estimated to *increase* the number of abortions by, like, 1 million (per an article I saw last week)

This is not a case of "the risk is small". At this point, public health has abdicated their responsibility so badly that for your safety and your pets' safety, you should assume that all raw meat, raw eggs, and unpasteurized milk are contaminated with H5N1. Do not feed them to your pets.

Exactly. I'm not an immunologist so maybe I'm missing something about the vast complexity of the immune system that might somehow do something, but that's my non-expert thought process.

I still don't see how "boosting" the immune system (ie generating more antibodies etc etc against more antigens) has anti-inflammatory properties...

If it's heat treated, I would presume it's no longer viable or able to reproduce, thus would not contribute directly to changing the gut microbiome (if that's their theory). So is the supposition that it somehow affects immune function to swallow dead soil bugs?
