Can someone please explain it to me like I'm five, why members of Congress are more upset that Elon became a trillionaire than they are that Somalis have defrauded our government out of hundreds of billions of dollars?
I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.
Dr. Jordan Peterson is suffering a medication-induced “neurological injury” and has no plans to return to the public eye, his wife said in an interview with the New York Post.
Dr. Jordan Peterson has touched millions of lives throughout Canada, America and the world.
The Somerset Farmhouse of 1 North Street, Williton were approached by a "food influencer" that wanted to charge them £2,000 for a review.
They put out a video of Sally eating a sausage roll instead 😆.
Lets make Sally and the Somerset Farmhouse famous for free.
“POV: She pulls into the handicap spot the right way… drops her ramp to unload…
…and this person just casually pulls straight into the access area anyway 😭🙄
Those blue striped zones aren’t “extra parking.” They’re literally there so ramps can deploy safely.
One careless move and a simple errand turns into a whole ordeal.
Watch till the end — it’s eye-opening.
Have you seen this happen (or worse)? Drop your stories below 👇 and tag that friend who “just parks for a second” 💙♿”

Finnish scientists trucked in real forest dirt and grass and laid it over the gravel at four daycare yards. They let the kids dig around in it for a month. The blood tests came back with changes the researchers hadn’t expected to see so fast or so clear.
The study ran at ten daycares in two Finnish cities with 75 kids aged three to five. Four of the yards got the forest treatment: about a tennis court worth of soil and grass laid over the gravel, plus planters and peat blocks the kids could dig and climb on. Three others stuck with their normal gravel yards. The last three were daycares where the kids were already visiting real forests every day.
After one month, the variety of bacteria living on the kids’ skin shot up, and the kind that helps train the skin’s immune defenses jumped the most. Their gut bacteria started to look like the gut bacteria of the forest-visiting kids. Their blood showed more of the immune cells whose job is to keep the body from freaking out at harmless stuff like pollen and peanuts, and overall inflammation dropped. The kids on the plain gravel yards showed none of this.
Childhood asthma in the US doubled between 1980 and 1995. Food allergies in kids jumped 50 percent between 1997 and 2011, then jumped another 50 percent between 2007 and 2021. And peanut allergies in one-year-olds tripled between 2001 and 2017.
The Finnish researchers think one of the reasons is simple: kids today don’t get dirty enough. 37 percent of American preschoolers now spend an hour or less outside on a normal weekday. Their immune systems are getting trained in environments stripped of the bacteria humans have always lived around.
Aki Sinkkonen, who led the study, put it in plain words: “It would be best if children could play in puddles and everyone could dig organic soil.” The Finnish government is now helping pay for daycares across the country to make the same changes.
Finally: National News coverage on Georgia Power using eminent domain to seize Americans homes for Data Centers
330 property owners impacted
21 homes slated for complete demolition
Georgia Power is planning power lines just 12 feet from bedroom windows. Georgia Power trucks and crews full access right next to living spaces
Multiple data centers involved, even one major data center in a different county. 3 additional data centers already approved in Coweta County that will use the new power
If homes don’t agree to sell they are given condemnation threats
Family farms, cow pastures, chicken coops, animals, and beautiful country homes being torn down or devalued. Homes are already being demolished by Georgia Power for the same project
They are claiming it’s for “public good”
Eminent domain being used to benefit private data centers is not for “public good”
They are kicking Americans off their generational homes and calling it a “public good”
I also learned homeowners are reporting Georgia Power is undervaluing properties. As of right now the number is up to about 30 properties they could be facing full demolition
🚨 Georgia Power is forcing a family off their farm with eminent domain for a Data Center
“I'm fighting for survival of my cattle farm. I'm here because a massive data center was approved just a couple of miles from my land — and I'm being hounded by Georgia Power for an easement to build transmission lines through my property for the data center”
“I'm a local farmer, not an industrial developer. These 500-kV lines aren't for me. They are for the data centers that the boards and surrounding counties continue to approve. I have mail from lawyers stacking up on my kitchen table wanting to take my case because they know my land is being targeted for eminent domain — These easements are permanent.
They affect my ability to graze my cattle, they lower my property value, and they destroy the rural character of this county forever. This board makes decisions to approve these massive, massive projects, but it's residents like me, young people trying to build a life here, who pay the price.
You're voting to turn our farms into a network of high-voltage wires and noisy industrial buildings.
I'm asking you to realize the real-world impacts of your votes. Every time you say yes to a data center, you're saying no to a local farmer. We aren't just numbers on a map. We are the future of the county, and right now you're making that future impossible.“
This data center project affects over 330 private properties. Georgia Power says it will negotiate purchases and easements and use eminent domain
Georgia Power claims its to strengthen the grid for the growing energy demand in Georgia (due to many new data centers)
The lines are widely linked to Project Sail
This isn’t a small operation. Project Sail is a $17 billion hyperscale data center campus by Prologis, Atlas that includes 9 massive buildings totaling up to 4.34 million square feet on 829 acres. It will demand hundreds of megawatts of continuous power equivalent to what a small city uses
We cannon allow data centers to take priority over farmers
Woman who been raises horses for 30 years in Ohio says “I've never had to deal with these many ticks”
“I can't take the tick situation anymore. The tick situation in this state, there are ticks everywhere”
Almost everyone says this is due to Bill Gates. The reason why is because The Gates Foundation is funding Tick Research
The Gates Foundation funded a biotech firm called Oxitec for research on genetically modifying cattle ticks
Farmers claim to be funding “boxes of ticks”on their properties
People think because Bill Gates is funding tick research there is a high likelihood we would see a huge increase in ticks. This would mean Gates could sell more of his products to deal with the problem
There is a well documented tick surge hitting Ohio hard right now, spring 2026, especially for livestock owners
Ohio has new tick species. Ohio went from basically 1 medically important tick species 20 years ago to having 5 now. Some of these populations grow very fast
Lyme disease surge: Cases skyrocketed from ~40 in 2010 → 415 in 2020 → over 2,800 in 2025, with 2026 already trending high
Keep in mind a Lyme disease vaccine is actively in the works
So without the ticks, they can’t sell their vaccines
You’ll never guess who’s making it, Pfizer and Valneva
Just so we are ALL CLEAR on what happened today...
Educators and school administrators single-handedly CANCELLED SCHOOL for 700,000 North Carolina students...
...INCLUDING MY SON!!!
To wave signs around in the street instead.
The signs vary from:
a) F**K ICE!!!
b) Defeat Trump's Agenda
c) Trump is a N*ZI
d) ICE OUT!!!
e) Protect trans kids
f) Refuse fascism
g) Stop bombing schools
DO NOT TELL ME THIS WAS ABOUT KIDS.
IT NEVER WAS.
This was ADULTS using 700,000 children, INCLUDING MINE, as political leverage against a president they don't like.
That is despicable.
You know better... DO BETTER.
Myth: "I only wear vegan fabrics. Better for the animals, better for the planet."
Let's check in on Doris's annual contribution.
Once a year, in late spring, Doris is sheared. The procedure takes approximately three minutes. Doris does not enjoy it. Doris does not, by any visible measure, suffer from it. Doris is, immediately afterwards, a noticeably more comfortable animal in the British summer.
The fleece weighs approximately 3 kilograms. It is sold to the British Wool Marketing Board for, depending on the year, between £0.40 and £2.50 per kilogram. The shearing costs more than the wool fetches. Brian is shearing Doris at a loss.
The wool is then:
- Naturally flame-retardant
- Naturally antibacterial
- Moisture-wicking
- Biodegradable
- Renewable, annually
- Carbon-storing while in use
The replacement, in performance fabrics:
- Polyester
- Polyamide
- Acrylic
- Polypropylene
- All petroleum-derived
- All shedding microplastics on every wash
- All requiring fossil fuel inputs to produce
- All non-biodegradable, with a typical landfill lifespan of 200-500 years
A single wash of a polyester fleece can release up to 700,000 microplastic fibres into the water system. These fibres are now in: every tested water source on earth, every tested human placenta, every tested rainfall sample, the deep ocean, the Arctic ice, and the lungs of marine mammals.
A single wash of a wool jumper releases: nothing. The wool, when eventually disposed of, returns to soil within a few years.
The fabric being marketed as the "ethical" alternative to wool is plastic.
The plastic is "ethical" because nobody has been asked to slaughter the polymer.
The polymer also has not been asked.
Doris, by being a sheep on a fell, is producing the most thoroughly sustainable performance fabric humans have ever made.
Brian is selling it at a loss.
The fashion industry, meanwhile, is selling petroleum at a profit and calling it ethical.
Reject plastic. Wear wool.
Doris is, this morning, growing next year's batch.
Infant formula causes obesity, so to sell it, growth charts make normal weight babies be "underweight." It's also full of seed oils because science from the 1960s was never updated.
As I show here, what infants are fed profoundly affects their health.
