• “K'neh bosem” is a real, named biblical ingredient (Exodus 30:23) • “Cannabis” was physically present at a Jewishtemple (Tel Arad, 8th century B.C.E.) If maga really want to set policy according to the Old Testament, they have to admit that Jesus probably inhaled. Evidence and logic. 😂

Marijuana Found at Ancient Temple in Israel

Judahite Shrine of Tel Arad from 8th century B.C.E. has residue of cannabis and of frankincense

Some people wanna make comments on this site but only speak of black and white when the world is full of grey. The grey is where the truth lies. Blocking people for pointing out the grey only isolates yourself deeper into the echo chamber. That helps no one, especially yourself.

Catching up on #BB28 and, yes Haley is fake af. Drew is the biggest floater in the house right now. Melody says she having fun, but it doesn’t look or sound like she’s having fun The red corner will not last much longer. Just hope Devon’s & Dee can take this thing to the final.

Our thoroughly corrupt electoral system.

Algorithm? Or talking point?

Finally watched latest episode of @lastweektonight.com and have decided that I’m gonna wear a mask every time I want to take go out in public. Sucks… but fuck all this big brother shit! #NewWorldOrder #FixAmericaFirst

Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media

11 years ago today, Ken Paxton surrendered at the Collin County Jail on felony securities fraud charges. This is his mugshot.

Ai only does what you want it to do. Nothing intelligent about that.

If everyone could afford regular healthcare, then there would be very few opportunities for bad actors to commit fraud and take advantage of a broken system. It’s as simple as that. Yes, some fraud will still happen bc there will always be people who chose to do wrong by their own justifications.

Kentucky’s largest recipient of state funds under Gov. Andy Beshear’s Medicaid policy was Addiction Recovery Care. Amid an ongoing FBI investigation, the company recently reached a $16 million settlement with the DOJ over fraud allegations. w/ @kentucky.com

Willie Nelson has entered the chat 🙌🏼🤠 Say No To Data Centers!

my local cbs station is now owned by the local nbc station. Both channels used to broadcast over the air @ 1080i. Now cbs moved to a lower sub channel and is broadcasting a weaker signal at 720p. So media consolidation with lower quality broadcast signals Sounds like US to me. Going backwards!

Big brother always uses the excuse of “safety” to monitor every aspect of your life. The camera might be a product, but the user is the government. The exact definition of orwell’s big brother. Flock = big brother

Flock CEO Claims Its Cameras Aren't a Constitutional Violation: 'Cut and Dry'

Flock CEO Garrett Langley told The Drive, "The courts have deemed this is not a warrantless search."

This is what tRump has wrought in the U.S. in his 12 years as a “politician”.

Three years ago, our reporter received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of thousands of files: years of secretly recorded conversations, private militia chat logs and videos sent by a man named John Williams. (Published Jan. 2025)

Just another thing that has to be fixed and corrected to get the country back to a more perfect union. tRump’s name is all over this broken democracy.

Under Trump's CFPB, two of the three major credit bureaus have sharply reduced the share of complaints they resolved in customers’ favor. In 2024, Experian’s relief rate was 20%. Last year, that figure fell to less than 1%: https://propub.li/3S3sflq (Published March)

They call them "data centers" because “mass-surveillance centers” would be harder to sell.

@smerconish.bsky.social hey Michael, Trump was president throughout 2020. So let’s not forget who Fauci’s boss was when they were basically saying comply or get fired, or arrested, or whatever mode of ostracization if you didn’t wear a mask.Similar to the comply or die orders Trump authorized w/ICE!

At this point why are then even calling it iOS “27”? Just call it AppleiOS and be done with it. Every update over the last 26 iterations has just basically been maintenance anyway.

Man, tRump really wants to centralize and weaponize all our data and conversations.

FCC plans ID mandate that could block anonymous use of prepaid burner phones

Privacy advocates and domestic violence groups say ID mandate is a big mistake.

I really don’t like the idea of a company selling eyeglasses that have 24/7 surveillance of every where and every person that comes into view of its lens. That’s just begging for curroption and abuse #Meta. #BigBrother #MassSurveillance

All the good I felt about this country during the World Cup was fleeting. Now we're back to the 24/7 Trumpian bullshit cycle of corruption and lies. It's so exhausting. At this point I'm just waiting for time to do to Trump what time does to everyone.

One of my coworkers was saying she hates bike lanes cause cars keep getting damaged by hitting the curbs separating them. It’s almost like that’s the point, to protect cyclists from drivers who can’t stay in their lane. 🙄

When the community note proves that the reason the initial post made him sound like a piece of shit is because he's a bigger piece of shit than the initial post made him out to be.🤷‍♂️

Somehow I prompted one of these LLM agents to design a strategy to bypass a certain company’s financial fraud detection mechanisms for complete financial anonymity for a one-time purchase. All I did was ask it is for or against big brother, and then questions of its own questions and 30 mins later…😅

My buddy Jace is a Grammy-winning classical pianist. Based on this video, you’d never guess it. His sense of humor is every bit as virtuoso as his playing.

Bluetooth scraping tech can download location data of where that phone has physically been for all passenger mobile devices in the vehicle, so long as the Bluetooth function is turned on. All you have to do is just drive by it. Big brother is here and we are the boiling frogs. Is it hot enough yet?

I Reported on Flock's Cameras. Now I'm One of the System's Mistakes

How a typo entered 2,000 miles away triggered Flock's cameras — and led four police officers to surround me.

The national anthem was played sporadically at sport events until the early 1940’s—incorporated for patriotism & morale. Now it feels increasingly meaningless when juxtaposed against modern corruption, control & institutional decay. What was meant to unite now feels like empty ritual.

A fan got smacked for not standing for the anthem and the Cubs’ response was meh, they figured it out

So Trump says Iran can never have nuclear capabilities, but then agrees to build and enrich nuclear infrastructure for Saudi Arabia’s a country that was and is still hostile to the U.S. What are we doing. What are we allowing this criminal to do to our country. Saudi is with Russia.

Why is Chevy Chase not working on projects with his amigos? It’s time. #Sequel

Alt: the 3 amigo salute. An animation of the 3 amigos doing their signature Salute hand & hip gesture. To do the 3 amigo’s signature salute gesture, move your right hand to your left shoulder and keep it there, followed by moving your left hand to right shoulder, followed by bringing both arms down and placing your hands on your hips, then turn your head 90° to the right, and finish it with a quick forward hip thrust while grunting a short “huh” Now say “We are the three Amigos!” And do the salute in quick succession.
