@EricMarsi Slow down. Listen as much as you speak. Learn to drink. Appreciate cats. Don’t watch the news, just read it. Embrace your eventual death; it gives you courage. And remember they can’t eat you.

Just a reminder that your city council wanted to get rid of this, Greenville

A Harvard-trained Army Ranger described psilocybin to me like this:

"Your brain is a snowy mountain. Every thought is a sled track. After 40 years you are riding the same five grooves down the same hill."

"Psilocybin is fresh snow." (1/2)

MY SPIRIT ANIMAL HAS ENTERED THE CHAT

This absolute legend named Ricky just dropped the most honest, unfiltered TED Talk on alcoholism I’ve ever witnessed.
“I love being drunk. I love getting fucked up. I’m a goddamn drunk alcoholic and I love it.”

Bro pays his bills (most of the time), goes to work when needed, but his true passion is walking around the woods blasted, not knowing what the hell is going on in the world.

“Stay drunk. Give it hell. You only got one go.”

Ricky isn’t just drunk, he’s free. This man is my spirit animal. I’ve never felt more seen in my life. Who else is claiming Ricky as their life coach? 😂🍻

Watch this sweet beagle experience love for the very first time 🐶❤️

For their entire lives, they only knew cages inside Ridglan Farms breeding facility.

Little by little, with patience and love, they start to relax ❤️

In about one hour, I will be arraigned on 4 felony counts and face up to 30 years in prison for taking this little guy out of a Ridglan cage.

In addition to charging me, the government has banned me from contacting my co-defendants and is now trying to undermine my right to a speedy trial.

But every corrupt and unconstitutional act by the government will simply make our case even stronger. We press forward to defend the right to rescue—and to defend the tens of thousands of other dogs (and billions of other animals) who remain trapped in cruel cages.

Most importantly, we defend James. Every time I come home, he jumps in my lap and begs to be picked up. It was the first place he ever felt safe. Rescuing him was not a crime. It was one of the best things I've ever done. I relish the opportunity to defend rescuing James in court.

You may not believe that your cat was born with a predatory instinct because it's a so playful critter, but cats are responsible for the global extinction of 33 animal species and responsible for the deaths of 6.9-20.7 billion mammals annually.

The reason cannabis now gives people psychosis is because men have messed with it. Naturally occurring weed has a THC content of around 5%, GMO weed has a THC content of up to 20%. 4 times the strength. Its a bit like normal lager being replaced by fortified wine. Imagine drinking a few pints of that?
Again, the greed demons got involved and destroyed something that God created. The weed people smoke now isn't what Bob Marley was smoking back in the day, its as bad as Arla Milk, or GMO corn. So if you are an 'organic food' person bare this in mind next time you buy some weed. Best thing to do is to get some natural seeds and grow your own.

I actually made a video about this on a show I used to be a host on 25 years ago on Channel 4. Heavy TV with Normski and others. I also may well be the last person to black up on British TV. 😂

There’s no bigger monument to incompetence and plain fuckery than your local Lowe’s Home Improvement

[Cindy K @MAGAMAHACindy]

Hypothetically…….. We are being taxed on money we never made.

Let that sink in.

If I bought my property outright for $160,000 in 2009
Now the county says it’s worth $446,000.
Did I sell it? No.
Did I make a profit? No.
Did I get a check for $446,000? No.
But my taxes jumped like I did.
That’s the problem.
This isn’t income.
This isn’t cash.
This is a number someone decided on paper and now I’m being billed for it.

If my stock portfolio doubles, I don’t pay taxes until I sell.

If my income doesn’t increase, I don’t magically owe more income tax.

So why does owning a home work differently?

Why am I being taxed on unrealized gains?

A house isn’t just an investment, it’s where people live. And this system means you can do everything right, pay off your home, and still get squeezed harder every year because of a number you never turned into money.

You don’t truly own something if you can be taxed out of it.

This isn’t about “services” or “inflation.” It’s about being charged for value you never received.
It’s time people start to notice.

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.

An entire empire was overthrown over a two percent tax on a breakfast beverage.

Look at what you tolerate now.

You are taxed when you earn it. Taxed when you spend it. Taxed when you save it. Taxed when you invest it.

And when you die, they tax whatever is left.

That is not a system. That is a harvest.

You commute in a car you paid sales tax to buy. You drive it on roads you were already taxed to build. You fill it with gas taxed by the gallon.

When you sell that car, the next buyer pays sales tax on it again. The same car. Taxed every time it changes hands.

You arrive at a job where your salary is cut before it ever touches your hands.

If you work for yourself, you pay both sides. Two people on paper. Neither one keeps what they earned.

Then you go home.

Every bill you open has a government standing behind it with its hand out.

You buy a house with money they already took their share of. Then they charge you property tax on it every year for the rest of your life.

You want to renovate your own kitchen. You need a permit. You want to build a deck on your own land. You need a permit.

You pay for the property. Then you pay for permission to use it.

Stop paying property tax and they seize your home.

Not because you missed a mortgage payment. Because you missed a payment to the government for the privilege of keeping what is already yours.

You do not own your home. You rent it from the state.

If you leave something behind for your children, they are taxed on what you were already taxed to earn.

The same wealth. Taxed at every stage of your life. Then taxed one final time because you had the audacity to die.

They found a way to monetize your absence.

We are told this is the price of civilization.

It is not. It is architecture.

The most effective prison ever built is the one where the inmates believe they are free.

They did not take your freedom. They priced you out of it.

If you kept the full value of your labor, you would be free within years. Not decades. Years.

The system cannot allow that.

A machine built on consumption needs a consumer that never stops.

You did not sign a social contract. You were assigned one.

Now pay attention.

They spent decades perfecting the extraction of your productivity.

Now they are building the technology to replace you.

AI is not coming for your job because corporations are greedy. It is coming because a system that already takes half your output just realized it can take all of it. Without needing you in the equation.

You were never the point of this arrangement.

You were the input.

And the moment they engineer a cheaper one, you become a rounding error on a quarterly earnings call.

They did not build AI to free you. They built it to finish what the tax code started.

It was never about the tea. It was about the precedent.

Today we hand over half our waking lives and thank them for the potholes.

You do not live in a free economy. You live in a subscription you never signed up for.

And the penalty for canceling is everything you have.

“I’m challenging the moral code of altruism, the precept that Man’s moral duty is to live and sacrifice himself for others to justify his existence.”

“I say that Man is entitled to his own happiness and that he must achieve it himself, but that he cannot demand that others give up their lives to make him happy. I hold that Man should have self-esteem.”
