80th anniversary of Dresden

“On February 13, 2025, we commemorate the bombing of Dresden 80 years ago. We commemorate the immeasurable suffering that the National Socialist tyranny brought upon humanity.” 

“Unfortunately, Dresden's destruction in World War II was not an isolated incident; the city was neither ‘innocent’ nor a ‘victim’,” the communiqué reads, recalling the fate of the cities of Coventry and Leningrad, which were largely destroyed by the Wehrmacht. 

“February 13 reminds us to take a stand when our democracy is in danger, when people are discriminated against and intimidated, when verbal and physical violence has become acceptable,” the city statement notes. 

So it goes.

Montana State House advances bill to ban mRNA vaccines.

Is anyone forcing them to get mRNA vaccines?  Why would they force others NOT to get them?

Because a bunch of fucking politicos know better than all the scientists and doctors. Duh!

I'll bet long odds that those politicos are getting their vaccinations.

MicroSoft has invented ice-nine.

"On Wednesday, Microsoft released an update on its efforts to build quantum computing hardware based on the physics of quasiparticles that have largely been the domain of theorists. The information coincides with the release of a paper in Nature that provides evidence that Microsoft's hardware can actually measure the behavior of a specific hypothesized quasiparticle.

Separately from that, the company announced that it has built hardware that uses these quasiparticles as the foundation for a new type of qubit, one that Microsoft is betting will allow it to overcome the advantages of companies that have been producing qubits for years."

Jane Fonda gave audience members at the SAG Awards 2025 a lesson in “wokeness”, and it was a reminder we all needed.

She urged Hollywood to “resist successfully” the current political climate with the “community” of unions, including SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists). 

“What we, actors, create is empathy. Our job is to understand another human being so profoundly that we can touch their souls,” she said. “And make no mistake, empathy is not weak or woke. By the way, woke just means you give a damn about other people.”

“A whole lot of people are going to be really hurt by what is happening,” she said. “Even if they’re of a different political persuasion, we need to not judge but listen from our hearts…

“We don’t have to wonder any more because we are in our documentary moment, this is it. And it’s not a rehearsal. This is it, and we mustn’t for a moment kid ourselves about what is happening,” Fonda continued.

“This is big time serious folks, so let’s be brave. We must not isolate, we must stay in community, we must help the vulnerable and find ways to project an inspiring vision of the future. One that is beckoning and welcoming.”

Fonda concluded: “That will help people believe that on the other side there will still be love, there will still be beauty. And there will be an ocean of truth for us to swim in. Lets make it so.”

^They made a scene in Boston this past weekend, too. Masked khaki bros with slogans.

Magas are claiming they're actors, antifa, or fbi plants. Because that shit is real. If you're a mouth-breathing knuckle dragging one of them.
