That raccoon was supposed to meet Steve at the pub...

Senior Citizen Cafes in China. I don't know sounds like Democratic Socialism to me. · Location: They are strategically planned at the neighborhood level to be integrated into the "15-minute community life circle" This concept aims to provide all essential services within a 15-minute walk. #Chinas

Richard Moser on FB Why is it that we can only dream of this (and so much else)

There is no perfect country. But, right now in the grand ol' U. S. of A., there is a consistent and coordinated effort to make sure citizens are denied any useful policies to provide a sense of dignity and a certain quality of life. It's sad when a country hates its own citizens. But, as MJ said...

1. Over Thanksgiving, texts from Dem. Sen Ruben Gallego leaked where he repeats far-right talking points on masculinity, lamenting that Democratic women "look like men." Using far-right gender-panic rhetoric will not ingratiate the Democratic Party towards men. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The DNC are full-on fascist collaborators at this point who are working full-tilt boogie at denying the Left a voice in "democracy" or mass media or even in the public protest space. The Democratic Party needs destroying, and the wreckage cleared to clear some space for the Left.

Was Biden “better” than Trump for Americans? Absolutely!! But let’s not forget he also made a choice to arm a genocide that killed innocent children women and men. None of these people are really for humanity, they represent global corporate interests. We are simply the pawns in their chess game.

Greetings and good morning it’s the Tuesday day rush hour with our donkeys, sheep and toast

I need to know the exact moment in human history when STUFF became more important than everything that actually mattered.

We are heartbroken to announce that we had to say goodbye to our beloved Mayor Bonnie today. We’re still emotionally very raw so we hope everyone can be patient and give us a little time to gather our thoughts about her loss before we post a full update.

We'll be posting about Bonnie's amazing life, spirit, and legacy in the days ahead. For now we hope you will be comforted to know that she passed very peacefully here at Merrymac with belly full of treats, surrounded by people who adored her.

I don't think I've ever talked on Bluesky about why I hate the Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl. Don't read any further unless you're prepared for uncomfortable truths about the "Nicest Guy in Rock", and his very substantial body count & subsequent cover-up.

I'll give you the short version: they sponsored & supported the most influential AIDS denialist group of the 2000's, resulting in national policies in South Africa that caused an estimated 330,000 deaths there. They have never apologized or acknowledged what they did. medium.com/the-monthly/...

The longer version starts with Christine Maggiore, who was diagnosed HIV+ in 1992. In 1994, she encountered Peter Duesberg, UC Berkeley professor of virology who convinced her that HIV is a harmless passenger virus and AIDS is actually caused by party drugs or antiviral treatments.

Christine founded "Alive and Well With AIDS Alternatives" (AWWAA) in 1995, self-published a book "What If Everything You Thought You Knew about AIDS Was Wrong?"

By 1999, she was the Foo Fighters official charity. Donations could be made from their page. In 2000, they sponsored a charity event benefitting AWWAA. In their concerts, the Foo Fighters encouraged AIDS patients to throw away their medications, and handed out Christine's book.

Christine set up meetings with South African President Thabo Mbeki, where she lobbied to block antivirals from being allowed into the country. The resulting policy move by Mbeki resulted in millions of additional infections and hundreds of thousands of deaths.

Christine had a daughter, Eliza Jane born the next year (2001). Christine took no precautions to prevent transmission to her child (because she didn't believe HIV existed, or it was harmless). Eliza lived to age 4, when she died from AIDS defining illness.

Christine died in 2008 from AIDS defining illness. The Foo Fighters deleted all references to AWWAA and Maggiore in 2007, and have not, to my knowledge, ever spoken of their role in shaping disastrous policy based on ignorance and science denialism.

It's astounding to me that this never comes up in interviews with Dave or the band. They've memory-holed this whole episode and the hundreds of thousands of deaths their support for this movement caused. Some sources: medium.com/the-monthly/...

If you've made it to the end of this thread, my only request is that you share it with others. So many people suffered because of this denialism, and it frankly burns me up that this dark legacy has been made to disappear without a fuss. www.motherjones.com/politics/200...

Mothering magazine promoted this madness.

He also had an affair that led to a secret family, and while that is clearly nowhere near as catastrophic, it does make you wonder what else this guy is currently covering up

Also reading through the replies, the number of weird ghouls who have nothing to say but "I think their music is bad" is just the saddest, shittiest kind of clout chasing. Might actually be more pathetic than knowing this and not caring, knowing this and caring about your bad taste more.

Yes! The whole point of all this is not to elevate yourself by promoting your hatred of their music. A lot of people suffered and died because of their actions...

Colin Hay, frontman of Men at Work, postpones Australian shows. "Colin Hay has postponed his scheduled Australian performances for December after suffering serious respiratory complications connected to the flu and Covid."

For the life of her, Chloe could not figure out how what had seemed like such a good plan, had gone so terribly, terribly wrong.

“Five minutes, Mom. We’re playing pirates.”

That looks like 4 minutes to me

You obviously do not understand rodent numerals.

⚠️ Nazis. Psychopaths. Monsters. Words no longer suffice. These are the "two suspects" our Israeli friends "eliminated." Genocidal uniparty.

The US is a deeply sick society that treats the military industrial complex like a jobs program.

What is more likely? • That he knows why he got an MRI and he’s lying • Or he really doesn’t know why he got one Either way it is terrifying and dangerous.

You have to know how MRIs work, in every MRI there is a Field of Vision locator so they can focus on a specific area if necessary, it increases resolution, if you don't ask the Doctors what they are scanning. You would have no idea what they were scanning. Plausible Deniability.

MRIs of the brain aren't routinely performed unless an injury or illness of the brain is suspected. That can be anything from stroke to some dementing illnesses.

Finally got a photo of Steve on the way home from the pub last night.
