“Batya Ungar-Sargon and Robby Soave react to news that Elon Musk pulled the New York Times’ verified status on Twitter.”
I don’t really care about the blue check thing, nor that NYT decided not to pay for one…It’s the assessment of twitters deterioration and continued floundering, that I’m sharing this for.
Twitter needs to return to it’s 2009-2017 era, where they left people alone so long as they were staying within the terms, rules and policies of the platform…
It’s when they started inventing insane excuses to dick over people with a long history of using the platform in good faith, that things went entirely off the rails.
This is not a right wing or left wing thing…
…Let me remind the world…these bad actors were targeting those of us who are left wing, years before the whole pandemic censorship nonsense even began.
We’re talking about bad people, who decided behind concealment to inject themselves into situations, where they were never needed or wanted, just to inflict a punishment on those of us who had unique experiences, insights and opinions they did not like seeing expressed.
“Batya Ungar-Sargon and Robby Soave interview Twitter Files co-author Michael Shellenberger about how Big Pharma managed to brainwash the left. #twitterfiles #twitter According to the CDC, all COVID-19 vaccines currently available in the United States are effective at preventing COVID-19. Getting sick with COVID-19 can offer some protection from future illness, sometimes called “natural immunity,” but the level of protection people get from having COVID-19 may vary depending on how mild or severe their illness was, the time since their infection, and their age.
Getting a COVID-19 vaccination is also a safer way to build protection than getting sick with COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccination helps protect you by creating an antibody response without you having to experience sickness. Getting vaccinated yourself may also protect people around you, particularly people at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19. Getting sick with COVID-19 can cause severe illness or death, and we can’t reliably predict who will have mild or severe illness. If you get sick, you can spread COVID-19 to others. You can also continue to have long-term health issues after COVID-19 infection.
While COVID-19 vaccines are effective, studies have shown some declines in vaccine effectiveness against infections over time, especially when the Delta variant was circulating widely.
The mRNA vaccines do not contain any live virus. Instead, they work by teaching our cells to make a harmless piece of a “spike protein,” which is found on the surface of the virus that causes COVID-19. After making the protein piece, cells display it on their surface. Our immune system then recognizes that it does not belong there and responds to get rid of it. When an immune response begins, antibodies are produced, creating the same response that happens in a natural infection.
In contrast to mRNA vaccines, many other vaccines use a piece of, or weakened version of, the germ that the vaccine protects against. This is how the measles and flu vaccines work. When a weakened or small part of the virus is introduced to your body, you make antibodies to help protect against future infection.
Everyone ages 18 and older should get a booster shot either 6 months after their initial Pfizer or Moderna series, or 2 months after their initial Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine. People ages 16–17 may get a booster dose of Pfizer at least 6 months after their initial series of vaccines.
The CDC says A person is fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving all recommended doses in the primary series of their COVID-19 vaccination. A person is up to date with their COVID-19 vaccination if they have received all recommended doses in the primary series and one booster when eligible.
Getting a second booster is not necessary to be considered up to date at this time. A study by The Cleveland Clinic found that both previous infection and vaccination provide substantial protection against COVID-19. Vaccination of previously infected individuals does not provide additional protection against COVID-19 for several months, but after that provides significant protection at least against symptomatic COVID-19.”
I like Joe Rogan…even though I don’t watch a lot of his show.
I’ve always been open to the incoming information…Problem is…it became impossible to parse the good information from the bad.
There was a lot of snotty, unhinged behavior coming from either direction…pro vaccine and anti vaccine…
…Those of us just carefully trying to find the truth, while disavowing the insane, nasty behavior…I think we at least maintained our own integrity.
“Briahna Joy Gray and Robby Soave discuss recent The Free Press’ handling of a story about a mother, and her child who received puberty blocking treatment.”
Okay…fine…a human consuming puberty blockers complicates this somewhat…If they’re eighteen years old, and they’ve still not hit puberty and all of it’s physical effects, do they still count as a child even when the circumstance is artificially made?…
…However…In general…
…I really wish people would stop referring to teenagers as “children”.
I like literal children about as much as anyone [some might argue more]…but we don’t need to be pretending that fourteen, eighteen, twenty or twenty five year olds are biological children!
Biologically, they are more adult by this point, than they are child.
Even eleven and twelve year olds, I think you’re pushing it by still calling them “children”.
That aside…This segment is an important discussion.
“Briahna Joy Gray and Robby Soave discuss the latest updates to the investigation into the origins of Covid-19. #LabLeak #Wuhan #GainofFunction #CovidOrigins According to the CDC, Mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) is caused by a virus that is related to the virus that causes smallpox. JYNNEOS is a 2-dose vaccine developed to protect against mpox and smallpox infections. People need to get both doses of the vaccine for the best protection against mpox. The second dose should be given 4 weeks after the first dose.
Vaccination is an important tool in stopping the spread of mpox. People who are vaccinated should continue to avoid close, skin-to-skin contact with someone who has mpox.”
“Mark Walsh is an embodiment coach and trauma educator. He is the Founder of Embodiment Unlimited and hosts The Embodiment Podcast and @Theembodimentchannel on YouTube. He has taught NGOs, police officers, the NHS and several militaries, working in over 40 countries and across multiple war zones including, most recently, Ukraine.”
I’m tired as hell of repeating myself on this issue…but…just because a prepubescent child behaves in a sexual manner, that does not mean they’re being abused.
“The “Restrict Act” being pushed through Congress with bipartisan support, ostensibly just to keep the Chinese government from spying on us, will allow the U.S. government to restrict the websites Americans can visit. In fact, by using a VPN to circumvent restrictions Americans could possibly put themselves at risk of being sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss this draconian effort to monitor Americans’ online lives.”
Bad Information!
Don’t spread false information, Jimmy!
Actually, it is illegal to access real child porn…Even if you don’t save copies of it, anything that shows up on your computer screen is cached somewhere on your hard drive…even if only in temporary files…And once it is there, it is next to impossible to get rid of.
Forensics software can find it, even if it’s been overwritten dozens [hundreds?…thousands?] of times. You’d have to destroy the hard drive, in order to literally get rid of it.
That caching that most people don’t even know about, has caused a lot of people to get sent to prison for years…even decades…because on a legal technicality, it counts as “producing” [ie: making copies] and keeping child porn. Many people who don’t understand how their computer works, have been blindsided by this.
I’m sure there are methods of encrypting everything…but most people aren’t going to know anything about that…and supercomputers keep decreasing the amount of time needed, to brute crack encryption passwords. I would not consider it safe, just because it is encrypted.
No…using a VPN to access child porn is not a good idea, when you live anywhere that child porn is illegal.
I don’t say this to come off looking or sounding better than anyone else…but there are reasons I’ve been able to remain out here for more than twenty years, openly expressing myself as a pedophile MAP…It’s because I know what is legal, and what is illegal…and I do not engage in illegal activity.
I don’t access child porn through a VPN, or any other method.
“The United States’ position in the world has been in a steep decline of late as numerous influential nations seek to decouple themselves from the US-centered international order. In an effort to stem this tide of eroding influence. African countries have particularly been embracing China and Russia, which is why Vice President Kamala Harris was dispatched to the dark continent in an effort to shore up relationships. It didn’t go so well.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether Kamala Harris is the kind of person who should be sent on any sort of “charm” offensive.”
“When MTV first launched, there simply weren’t enough music videos to fill their 24 hour format. This forced the young channel to take a chance on previously-unknown-in-the-US artists to fill time, including A Flock of Seagulls, Adam and the Ants, The Buggles, U2, Spandau Ballet & Visage. It paid off: within a couple of years a whole wave of videogenic British New Pop bands would take over the Billboard Chart, almost single-handedly creating what was called The Second British Invasion.
But even in the age of MTV, The Eurythmics were striking. Annie Lennox’s orange close-cropped hair and sleek tailored suit stood apart from other female pop stars of the time. The swirling darkness of their breakthrough single would define the sound of the 80s forever more. This is New British Canon and this is the story of “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).”

I was inspired by the MGTOW movement to make this.
I didn’t realize I already had this old graphic uploaded here…Not sure if I’ve ever made it public before, though I thought maybe I’d had it as part of my Twitter Arrival Base
MGTOW and PeGTOW are such awkward acronyms, I think I decided not to use it…But I really appreciate the concept behind MGTOW…It fits what I have been doing with my own life, for decades.
If the world doesn’t want to treat me right…Screw It!…I’m doing my own thing!…I don’t have to put up with their crap!
For some men identifying as Matos, (Men Avoiding Toxic Outgoing Relationships) the decision to pursue a virtual relationship with a waifu instead of a real-life relationship with a human is a valid choice. These men have often experienced negative or traumatic experiences in past relationships (I raise my hand here) including financial, psychological, and emotional stress and have decided to opt-out of pursuing traditional romantic relationships as a result.
In this context, the choice to engage in a relationship with a waifu can be seen as a way of protecting oneself from further harm, while still satisfying emotional and psychological needs for companionship and intimacy. A waifu can provide a sense of comfort, safety and reliability that may be lacking in real-life relationships. It allows some to avoid the risks of emotional or financial entanglements that can be associated with romantic relationships.
