Demokritus In Meditation (detail) By Salvator Rosa, C. 1615-73.

It always amuses me to see the emotionally unstable become more unstable when they don't get the things that they demand. It's like watching a tantrum-prone child just start turning red and shaking and drooling and screaming until they pass out or rupture blood breaks in their face. It's disturbing to see the first time, but after the fifth or sixth time, the novelty has worn off and is rather boring. Same thing with this latest incarnation of SJW, this brigade that's appointed themselves to be the militant guard who will take down capitalism and institute mandatory socialism, even if it means giving up their rights to start turning red, shaking, drooling, and screaming when the stormtroopers began rounding everyone up and sticking them in little boxes...

Go ahead, boycott everything, stage sit-outs (the more impactful protest where one turns their back on society and waits it out in the desert), and withhold your brilliance and beautiful screeching voices from the world and the bad people in it, until those bad people are driven to their knees and capitulate, and the perfect world you've demanded is magically and dutifully dropped at your precious feet.

We miserables will have to learn to manage, somehow, without you...

…well except he promised that if the WFP was transparent about how it would use the $6 billion to solve world hunger and they never did.

Honestly, the fires in the Amazon are the results of illicit burning campaigns by Big Corporations seizing land at bargain basement prices after destroying the land. They then raise cheap cattle and soy for enormous markups to the public. You may have heard of these companies: Cargill. Marfrig. JBS. Their soy and beef products are in turn sold to the likes of PepsiCo (which owns Burger King and Pizza Hut), Walmart, Costco, Stop and Shop, and Leclerc. These guys are financed and given monetary ammunition to destroy the lungs of the earth by such humanitarian entities as BlackRock, JP Morgan Chase, HSBC, BNP, and Santander. And these Big Finance juggernauts are connected to the Rothschilds and... wait for it...George Soros. There are you planet killers. Please make sure this gets into hard circulation...

❗ PAY ATTENTION ❗

Something different this time...

The Amazon Rainforest, one of the wettest on Earth, is on fire.

Siberia, on of the coldest places on Earth, is on fire.

That aint normal.

The fact that the Amazon Rainforest is responsible for 20% of the ENTIRE WORLD'S clean air and its been burning for 3 weeks with literally no media coverage is terrifying.

This is life or death for everyone and every animal.

Climate change is for REAL and our planet is burning up. We, humans are the cause of this deadly fever.

Share, show others, let's pay attention to the problem.

Retailers are disabling NFC readers to shut out Apple Pay By Dante D'Orazio, theverge.com

There's a lot of hype around Apple Pay right now, but not everyone is on board with the new mobile payments system. In fact, a significant number of merchants, including heavyweights like Walmart, Kmart, 7-Eleven, and Best Buy, are in outright…

Vincent Van Gogh: World's first painted film debuts in London

"We have definitely, without a doubt invented the slowest way of film making ever devised in 120 years," the director said.

A labor of love is an understatement...

Happy birthday, Mr. Van Gogh.

Pretty cool. My daughter and I grooved on this while we walked to her school this morning. Nice tempo-setting song for walking... and we may have free-form danced in the process. Love Daughter-Dad walks!

Please boost this. I have a daughter and a son, and I can but only imagine how this girl's parents and family feel at the loss of Karlie.

On the night of October 12, 2018, 16-year-old Karlie Gusé skipped a football game to attend a party with her boyfriend where, according to him, they all smoked marijuana. At around 8pm, Karlie called her stepmother, Melissa, to pick her up from a location near a trailer park. However, by the time she had arrived, Karlie already left and was running down a dark road. Melissa eventually caught up with her and Karlie slipped into the backseat, stating she thought Melissa’s car was going to kill her. Throughout the drive home, Melissa noted very paranoid behavior exhibited by her stepdaughter, such as moving seats several times. The strange behavior only progressed when they arrived at their Bishop, California, home, where Karlie resided with her father, stepmother, and siblings. Her mood kept shifting between very paranoid and very excited, and her pupils were hugely dilated, a clear indication that she was under the influence of drugs. The teen was given a salad to eat, which she had spit out and referred to as the ‘’devil’s lettuce’’. Melissa decided to record Karlie’s voice, as she intended to show her what she sounded like under the influence the following morning when she comes down from whatever possible drug that had taken over her mind. 


Early on in the investigation, Melissa claimed to have routinely checked up on all the children at around 5:45 AM before going back to bed. She woke up at 9:45 and opened Karlie’s bedroom door, only to discover she wasn’t inside. Nor was she anywhere to be found inside and outside of the home. The only clue left behind was a footprint in the driveway that presumably belongs to Karlie, and the front door open ajar. However, Melissa would later change her story during a Dr. Phil interview where she stated she had slept next to Karlie in bed the whole morning and woke up in a panic when she noticed she was gone.

The missing girl was spotted by three other witnesses on that morning, appearing to be disoriented as she was walking down Ponderosa St. toward Route 6 in California, but other than that, there have been no other confirmed sightings of Karlie. The local police launched a massive search which included foot patrol, helicopters, scent dogs, and off-road vehicles, but all efforts were fruitless; it was as if the teen had vanished into thin air, not leaving a single trace to go on. 

Karlie Gusé has light brown hair and blue eyes. She stands at 5′7′’ tall and weighs roughly 110 pounds. She may have been garbed in a white shirt, grey sweatpants, and Vans shoes at the time of her disappearance. If anyone has any information about Karlie Gusé’s whereabouts, please contact the Mono Country Sheriff’s Office at 760-932-7549, option 7.

I love this woman's work. She deftly captured the fiery, beautiful essence of the Highland sprawl of my family's ancestral roots, the Isle of Skye, in glorious Scotland.

What do you serve as a side dish with this entree? Strained peas and carrots?

Hmmmm...

I thought that Supreme Court Justice were supposed to be impartial and well-removed from political affiliation and influences while delivering opinions and decisions on matters facing the Court....

But I guess it's okay for the Democrats to give her an atta-girl for successfully riding out (with a packed and stacked Congress) the confirmation hearings' stormy seas... I mean it's not like she's a shill or anything for pedophiles and other sex offenders in high places... not that there are any of those types in the federal government, Congress or the White House...
