Quote:-an AP investigation has found that their universal use hides a dirty open secret in the industry: Their cost is environmental destruction, the theft of land from villagers and the funneling of money to brutal militias, including at least one linked to Myanmar’s secretive military government. As demand soars for rare earths along with green energy, the abuses are likely to grow.

An armed man attempted to break into an FBI building in Cincinnati on Thursday morning and then fled about 50 miles north on Interstate 71, where he exchanged gunfire with law enforcement officials, authorities said.

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"

The worst - the absolute WORST - result of the Mar-a-Lago raid is that we now have to listen to MTG and Lauren Boebert mispronounce 'nuclear'.

Author Salman Rushdie attacked on lecture stage in New York
Salman Rushdie, the author whose writing led to death threats from Iran in the 1980s, was attacked and apparently stabbed in the neck Friday by a man who rushed the stage as he was about to give a lecture in western New York.
An Associated Press reporter witnessed a man confront Rushdie on stage at the Chautauqua Institution and begin punching or stabbing him 10 to 15 times as he was being introduced. The 75-year-old author was pushed or fell to the floor, and the man was arrested.
His 1988 book “The Satanic Verses” was viewed as blasphemous by many Muslims. Often-violent protests against Rushdie erupted around the world, including a riot that killed 12 people in Mumbai.
The novel was banned in Iran, where the late leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a 1989 fatwa, or edict, calling for Rushdie’s death.

Because obviously, white kids can’t process the idea of people of other ethnicities existing, let alone accomplishing anything of note, until they’re about 12, and if the comparatively few white kids in the class notice it and try to make sense of it, that’s just going to end up like that scene from Scanners and nobody wants that. That’s just common sense!

In Florida the only "age appropriate"* pictures of black people are those that depict them as loving slavery.
