Very exciting movie project:
Hopper Penn (Sean Penn’s son) and Brian D’Arcy James have been cast in ‘THE RIGHTWAY’ from director Destry Spielberg (Steven Spielberg’s daughter) and writer Owen King (Stephen King’s son).

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"

Simone Biles declared a traitor to the state after refusing to break her neck for the viewing pleasure of weaklings at home.

Apparently, a woman with cerebral palsy was abandoned by her parents at this hotel. It might be on the local news later.

Funny how the people calling her ‘weak’ are the same ones who don’t have the strength of character to wear a mask in Starbucks for five fucking minutes.

Losing track of your position in the air because you're flipping and spinning is not the same as saying, mom, I don't feel like going to school today. The media needs to be more specific about "mental health."

An international team obtained immunoglobulin G (IgG) from eight patients with fibromyalgia and from eight healthy controls. Each IgG sample was administered intraperitoneally to a mouse for 1 week. The mice that received IgG from fibromyalgia patients demonstrated greater sensitivity to both mechanical pressure and cold, reduced locomotor activity, reduced front paw grip strength, reduced intraepidermal nerve fibers, and sensitization of nociceptive small fibers. These characteristics were
not seen when mice received IgG-depleted serum from patients with fibromyalgia or IgG from healthy controls. Histological studies revealed that the IgG from fibromyalgia patients had activated glial cells surrounding the dorsal root ganglia in the. Pooled sera from two additional groups of patients with fibromyalgia recapitulated the same abnormalities in mice. These changes attenuated when administration of IgG to the mice stopped.
