This view was already being taught ten years ago. It apparently now has a name. Things are getting worse.

Be on alert for ethnic studies curriculum that uses the word “adultism”. In some teacher training courses, it’s being used to paint parents and adults as tyrants for setting boundaries for children. That’s not liberty; that’s an attack on parental authority. Parents, not the government, have the right to raise their kids. | @CUFI

Consider the possibility of a line in the sand that crossing could cost you dearly. Say there is something on par with a minefield on the other side of that line. Perhaps there is even a way to navigate that minefield safely. We cannot stay where we are. Life simply will not allow it. Assume I know where that line is and am familiar with the only safe path through the dangers of that field. Am I really any sort of friend to you if I choose to let you believe that you can traverse that field any way you choose and come out just fine? Would it be love to encourage you to run, walk, or dance your way across in whatever manner makes you happy? The truth that I know could save your life, but I choose I’d rather not offend your sensibilities. I don’t want to risk the blowback of hurting your feelings. So I just take the only safe path in silence and leave you to your fate. Am I any friend to you at all?

Today marks the beginning of what some call Pride Month.

For Christians, we celebrate today like we do every day - that this is the day the Lord has made, so let us rejoice and be glad in it.

When we see the acronym LGBTQ, we don’t see sexual identities to celebrate, we see image-bearers of God who are doing what’s right in their own eyes and need the kind of love that points to Jesus and His truth.

The truth is God made us male and female so that a man can leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.

God IS love and He has the authority to define it. He calls homosexuality a sin, and holy marriage between a man and woman very good. The most loving thing we can do is agree with God.

We can’t love others by affirming sin. This is my response to why we don’t celebrate Pride Month:

Lady Walks into the School board meeting and tells them they need to get rid of 500 filthy Books. She warns them and starts to read, they say you can’t read that in Public, but it’s in a Public School!

The crazy part is that there are several who act like they are somehow the victims.

🚨 Not Breaking: I did not read 24,000 lines of X algorithm code on GitHub in an hour because I am not full of sh*t like the people who said they did.
They asked Grok to summarize it and some just made stuff up.

Here’s what I know:
1. If you post more than 9 times a day, the algorithm makes your 10th post fight a raccoon behind a gas station for distribution.
2. Original content is rewarded, but only after being briefly drowned in a bucket to see if it floats.
3. The algorithm can tell when you opened the app just to check your own likes, and it lowers your reach out of disgust.
4. If your post does well too quickly, the system assumes witchcraft.
5. If you say “I might delete this,” the algorithm immediately knows you won’t.
6. The algorithm can detect when you care too much and will punish you accordingly.
7. If you post a banger after midnight, it gets shown exclusively to Australians, and a divorced man in Ohio.
8. If you say “this needs to be studied,” the algorithm sends your post to people who have never studied anything.
9. If you ask people to repost, the algorithm treats you like a man holding a clipboard outside a grocery store.
10. If you post while calm and reasonable, it assumes your account has been hacked.
11. If your post is doing well, the system checks whether you are enjoying yourself. If yes, it fixes that.

At press time, the algorithm had reportedly changed again because one guy in Nebraska refreshed the app too aggressively.

My verdict: post like a normal person, pray like a medieval peasant, and never trust anyone who says they “figured out the algorithm.”

The truth isn’t always pleasant, but choosing to ignore it is to build our paradigm on a lie that leads to false accusations and dangerous decisions.

@ChaosTV If the bucket was manned, this is not just destruction of property. It should be considered assault and attempted murder.

8000 BC: "Plants are what we eat when the hunt fails."

3000 BC: "Grain and vegetables are what we feed the slaves."

500 BC: "Lentils and barley are the diet of the poor."

100 AD: "Bread and circuses for the mob. The legions get meat."

1200s: "Pottage and roots are what the serf gets. The lord eats venison."

1700s: "Vegetables and porridge are what the starving eat."

1800s: "The Irish are surviving on potatoes. The landlords are exporting the beef."

1900s: "Plants and grain are wartime filler. We're rationing the real food."

1950s: "Plants are cheap. Feed them to the poor."

1970s: "Plants should be the BASE of the pyramid. This is science."

1990s: "Plant-based is emerging as extremely healthy, actually."

2010s: "Plant-based is optimal. Meat is the problem."

2020s: "Plant-based is saving the planet!"

2025: "Plant-based is the healthiest diet on earth. The science is settled."

You: noticing that the diet currently being sold as enlightened and optimal is the same one every ruling class in recorded history fed to the people it was trying to keep weak, compliant, and grateful.
