JK Rowling's home is visibility being taken over by the black mold.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Two things:
1. We don’t know that it’s black mold (to me, it looks like a wallpaper pattern that’s out of focus).
2. Even if it is black mold, it’s pretty stupid to think this is what’s making her so anti-trans. She could simply be a hate-filled bitch.

Doesn't this belong in Daily Conspiracy or Articles of Distraction?

Trying to find a medical reason to explain away a specific discrimination/hate?

Quote:The research shows that the American public, perhaps uniquely among people in developed countries, is represented disproportionately by climate deniers. Although 23% of the entire US Congress is composed of those who dismiss the climate crisis, polls show the proportion of Americans who share this view is significantly smaller, by as much as half.
Even as a quarter of US lawmakers deny the climate crisis, the American public has been moving significantly in the other direction. Fewer than one in five people in the US reject the findings of climate science, according to various studies, with long-running polling by Yale University showing that those they class as “dismissive” stand at just 11%.
While this slice of the American public opinion has remained largely unchanged in recent years, a much larger, growing cohort is worried about the climate crisis following a string of record hot years and a parade of wildfires, storms and other climate-fueled events. More than half of Americans are now “alarmed” or “concerned” about climate change, the Yale surveys find.
“The amount of people at each end of the spectrum – alarmed and dismissive – were essentially tied back in 2013 but today there are three alarmed people for every one dismissive, so there’s been a fundamental shift in how people see climate change in the US,” said Anthony Leiserowitz, an expert in climate public opinion at Yale.

Considering who is giving the politicians money I'm not all that surprised. Same with gun laws.

DOD Contractor ARRESTED For Mishandling Classified Documents
Quote:[color=var(--style-type-primary-1-highest)]A contractor for the Defense Department was arrested Friday and charged with mishandling classified documents, according to an FBI complaint.[/color]
[color=var(--style-type-primary-1-highest)]From May until as recently as August 7, Turkey-born electrical engineer Gokhan Gun printed over 250 documents at work, a few of which were labeled “top secret,” FBI officials allege. Because of his employment with the Defense Department, Gun possesses a top-secret clearance, but he was not authorized to take the documents home, according to an 11-page complaint filed in a Virginia federal court.[/color]
So, they can, like, arrest people for that? Huh.
