@Theblackfemini3 Not safe, even in the bush.

[Don Gates @GATESDK]

@DrewHutton45645 I applaud your integrity.

[Don Gates @GATESDK]

@ClimateWarrior7 Nah, I want to stay informed.

[Don Gates @GATESDK]

@Maddi0578PG @salltweets Could tell you how it's going.

[Don Gates @GATESDK]

@NzFubar I use one for star pickets, never a wooden post though.

[Don Gates @GATESDK]

@NzFubar Ouch!

[Don Gates @GATESDK]

Interesting!

Brown rice is what you order when you want the waiter to know you have made peace with joylessness in exchange for health points. The arsenic is the twist nobody puts on the menu.

Rice has a problem unique among grains. It grows in flooded paddies, sitting in standing water for months, and it draws arsenic out of the soil roughly ten times more eagerly than wheat or barley. That arsenic concentrates in the bran, the grain's outer layer. White rice has the bran polished off. Brown rice keeps it, because the bran is where the fibre and minerals live. It is also, inconveniently, where the arsenic lives.

A 2025 analysis found brown rice carries around 24% more total arsenic and 40% more inorganic arsenic, the form classed as a known human carcinogen, than white. You upgraded to the wholegrain and quietly upgraded your carcinogen dose along with it.

Then the ecology, which nobody ever pins on rice, because rice looks so very innocent. Those flooded paddies are anaerobic, and the microbes thriving in them belch methane on an industrial scale. Rice cultivation produces something like 10% of all human methane emissions and roughly a fifth of agricultural methane. Cattle get filmed for documentaries about their burps. Rice quietly produces a tenth of the world's methane while flooding entire landscapes and hoarding arsenic, then takes its place in the salad bar wearing a wellness halo.

Cows are dragged through the climate courts every week. The rice paddy, doing serious damage of its own, sits in your grain bowl with the expression of something that has never done anything wrong in its life. Curious, isn't it, which foods we decide to interrogate.

@gosporttomarlow Silly nephew. 😁

@dark_road_games @DougVegas @thematrixb0t Same here. I use my NAS for important documents, receipts tax records and my enormous collection of photos. Backed up to a paid cloud service. I moved all the video contents onto an external drive as I dont want to pay for backup storage fees if I dont care about them anymore.

[Don Gates @GATESDK]

@KnightsTem42465 @Ryandally08 I reckon you and @ClimateWarrior7 would get on just fine.

[Don Gates @GATESDK]

@KnightsTem42465 @Ryandally08 🤣👍

[Don Gates @GATESDK]

@dark_road_games @DougVegas @thematrixb0t I have transferred all my CD music to digital ages ago. I started thinking I might do it for my DVDs. In the end, I chucked them all out. I won't watch new movies now for obvious reasons. Why would I ever go back and watch a DVD that I acquired before I understood Hollywood?

@JamesASexton Whoever is pulling the strings for 'No Nuclear' in Australia needs unmasking. Politicians here are not smart enought to make a decision on this topic. They just follow orders.

[Don Gates @GATESDK]

@awright_1983 Me2. I won't elaborate here now... making dinner from stuff we have at home. I am aspiring to cut some bluestone rocks this year. You know what I mean.

[Don Gates @GATESDK]

I find this conversation about the past quite fascinating, I have visited some of the amazing buildings in Europe and churches in England. It does make me wonder about the standard historical explanation. After Cov19 an IPCC reveals, you may forgive me for asking questions.

@awright_1983 Yes. Interesting etymology.

Have some hospitals turned into Killing Fields based on financial incentive?

[Kelly DNP Functional/Integrative Medicine @kacdnp91]

“August 27, 2021: A healthy 28yr old girl with special needs arrived at Northwell Hospital in Glen Cove, Long Island. Other than a persistent mild cough, Danielle Alvarez was perfectly fine, labs showed. The staff should have sent her home.

Instead, Danielle suffered forty days of medical experimentation; neglect; and physical, emotional, and psychological torture before her body succumbed on October 6, 2021.
Her mom, Rebecca Charles Jackson, didn't know hospitals had become killing centers financially incentivized to administer deadly protocols in the name of COVID.
She thought her daughter was going to be cared for by medical professionals—not milked like a cash cow to the tune of $650,000 billed to private insurance and an additional unknown amount billed to Medicare.

Rebecca didn't know the hospital would assign Danielle an organ donor identification number without her consent.
She didn't realize the staff would administer ten doses of remdesivir-twice the standard COVID protocol of the emergency-use-authorized drug.

Rebecca never imagined the staff would pump Danielle with fentanyl—let alone lethal levels measuring 53 ng/mL at the time of her death. That's almost quintuple the amount (11 ng/mL) found in George Floyd's body.
Nor did Rebecca know Danielle would be subjected to propofol for over twenty-three days, exceeding safe limits and without any monitoring for Propofol-Related Infusion Syndrome.

She could not have guessed at the panoply of other drugs Danielle would be administered—most without Rebecca's knowledge or consent—including tocilizumab, precedex, morphine, paralytics, and chemical restraints.
Rebecca did not anticipate the doctor known among staff as the Ventilator Maestro—who later confessed to Rebecca, "I have nightmares about your daughter"—would intubate Danielle unnecessarily for thirty-two days.”

Danielle was murdered by hospital protocol. We will never forget until justice is served for these victims and their families.

@awright_1983 Not to mention the enormous resources committed to building insane asylums. Makes me wonder if the ones locked up had a different view of history.

[Don Gates @GATESDK]

@rightasrain100 This day last year, my brother and I said goodbye to my mother. The staff at the hospital were great. It's hard to reconcile the stories of grief that others have experienced.

[Don Gates @GATESDK]

@rightasrain100 I've seen so many stories over the last 6 years. It's hard to reconcile my wife's life as a nurse with the what has transpired since she retired in 2019. What the heck happened?
