The slaughter of precious, fragile migrating birds in unfathomable numbers around the Mediterranean twice each year is an ecological calamity of global importance.

[Ben Goldsmith @BenGoldsmith]

The mass slaughter of migrating birds across the Mediterranean each spring and autumn, for no reason other than kicks, is ecocide on a massive scale. The men who do this are perverts. Shame, shame on Egypt (Lebanon, Malta, etc.)

Wasn’t there something else that he did which was really, really evil?

Brasil va a segunda vuelta.

A los brasileños les pido una sola cosa, no entreguen la Amazonía. No entreguen la soberanía de toda América del Sur a los intereses de Washington.

No se conviertan en el patio trasero del Imperialismo. No apoyen a un tipo que quiere acabar con los derechos laborales, con las jubilaciones, con los programas sociales, y convertir a Brasil en una colonia de Estados Unidos.

¿Quieren saber cómo termina esa película? Miren a Bolivia. Miren a Argentina, a Ecuador, a Perú. Nada bueno ha pasado allí con la derecha. Nada.

En fin ¡viva Lula!

I honestly don’t understand how Ads are supposed to work on me. There’s no way you think interrupting my video that I was watching will make me like your product

[Craig. @bambibristol]

That’s about 20 Epstein whistleblowers who have now ‘died by suicide’.

Absolutely nothing suspicious about that at all…

Los brasileños no ven como nos estamos muriendo de hambre en Argentina? No ven que la clase media cayó a la pobreza desde que está Milei? No me entra en la cabeza

@MrPitbull07 My dog was scratching her ear I noticed a discharge and a smell. Had many dogs typical of an infection. Brought her in the tech THE TECH said we’ll need bloods a specimen from ear quoted a ridiculous number. The Rx ointment covers bacteria & fungus. No need for tests

The private equity takeover of local veterinary clinics is one of the most predatory scams happening in America right now.

Last month, our 3-year-old rescue dog threw up twice and seemed a little lethargic. Just acting off. We got nervous and rushed him to the local 24-hour emergency animal hospital.

Before a vet had even stepped into the room, the receptionist slid an iPad across the desk:

"Emergency exam intake fee is $385 non-refundable just for the doctor to evaluate him."

Fine. You pay it because you love your dog.

The vet walks in, checks his gums for twenty seconds, feels his stomach, and walks back out. Five minutes later, she returns with a printed estimate:

Full blood panel: $650.
Abdominal ultrasound: $900.
Overnight hospitalization with IV: $1,400.
Exploratory sedation: $800.
Total estimated cost: $3,750.

I asked the vet: "He ate a weird piece of grass earlier. Can we just start with an anti-nausea injection and monitor him for a couple of hours?"

The vet looked me dead in the eyes with a straight face and said:

"You can do that. But if he has a complete gastrointestinal blockage, he could go septic and pass away by sunrise."

Pure emotional manipulation.

They know your pet is family, so they hold your empathy hostage to hit corporate revenue quotas.

We declined the package, paid the exam fee, and took him home. Fed him white rice and boiled chicken. Two hours later, he drank a bowl of water, took a long nap, and was running circles around the yard by 8:00 AM the next morning.

Massive private corporations bought out almost every neighborhood mom-and-pop vet clinic, turned them into profit mills, and weaponized our love for animals into maximum billing.

Has modern veterinary medicine become an emotional shakedown, or are people just ungrateful for specialized care?

I mean, they’re not even trying to hide it anymore.

Here's what's going to happen. Trump loses the midterms. He declares massive voting fraud, calls supporters to attack immediately. GOP refuses to accept results. FBI seizes ballots and voting machines within days. Results stall for weeks. Republican officials cancel results in lost districts, order new votes. Protests erupt. Troops deploy under the Insurrection Act. January 3, Congress refuses to seat the Democrats. This isn't prediction. It's pattern. They've already done each of these things.

This is not a joke.

The Russian biological war research should have us all concerned and stopping ALL flight from Russia, and all Russians from entry.

The longer this goes on the more countries we will have to stop flight from.

FYI: the Russians were working on a plague that is resistant to antibiotics

[Liam Nissan™ @theliamnissan]

A plague that can kill you in 24 hours is rapidly spreading in Russia right now but don't worry folks, Donald Trump eliminated the Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense, and Elon Musk defunded the CDC

Why does homosexuality seem to be the only "sin" Christians are concerned with? The Bible has plenty to say about adultery, greed, hatred, lying, stealing, hypocrisy, judgment, and how we treat others.

[Mannheim @Willadeanwhy]

The ADA needs to include this issue. Tech has created an issue no less debilitating than blindness or being deaf. Unable to complete business or legal transactions because of the arbitrary roadblocks created by high tech. Any facility, organization or business must include analog methods of utilization. Class action lawsuit is definitely in order based on discrimination of the elderly.

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

We are quietly isolating an entire generation of older people from society, and nobody seems to give a damn.

I took my 84-year-old grandfather to his local bank branch on Friday.

The exact same brick-and-mortar branch where he opened his first account in 1978.

We pull up to the front doors. They’re locked.

Inside is an empty lobby with a small sign: “Cashless Service Hub.”

A young guy in a polo shirt opens the door and tells us:

“We don't handle teller deposits or paper checks here anymore. You just need to download the mobile portal and scan your routing number.”

My grandfather pulls out an old flip phone with a cracked screen and a paper pension check from his coat pocket.

His hands were visibly shaking.

The employee just shrugs.

“You can do it on an iPad, or have a family member manage the app for you.”

This man worked forty-two years in a manufacturing plant. Paid his taxes. Fought for this country.

And now he is made to feel completely useless and stripped of his dignity because he doesn't own an iOS device.

Tech isn't making life easier if it completely locks out the people who built the world we’re living in.

Are your elderly parents or grandparents running into this wall too?

[Olamzy @madebyolah]

SORRY IF THIS OFFENDS RESTAURANT OWNERS, BUT THIS HAS GOT TO STOP.

I sat down at a table last night, and there were no physical menus.

Just a laminated QR code taped to the wood.

I had to pull out my phone, scan the code, navigate a laggy menu website, put in my own order, and type in my credit card details.

A runner brought the food to the table 20 minutes later.

Then the digital checkout screen defaulted to a 22% tip prompt.

FOR WHAT?

You eliminated the host, eliminated the server taking orders, forced me to use my own mobile device and cellular data, and then asked for a 22% tip for order entry I completed myself?

THAT IS NOT A HOSPITALITY EXPERIENCE.

THAT IS AN UNPAID CUSTOMER WORKFLOW WITH A FORCED TIP PROMPT ATTACHED.

My sister's local family-owned daycare center got acquired by a private equity group six months ago.

Same building. Same teachers. Same 7 AM opening time. Zero upgrades to the playground or facilities.

This morning, they sent out their new tuition schedule for the upcoming quarter.

Monthly cost per child jumped from $1,250 to $2,400.

When parents asked the new management why prices nearly doubled overnight, the director gave a polished corporate response about "market-rate alignment."

Wall Street figured out a cheat code.

They are quietly gobbling up non-discretionary life infrastructure, daycares, veterinary clinics, emergency medicine, and senior care….. because they know you can't just "cut back" on your kids or elderly parents.

Young families aren't being priced out by inflation. They are being squeezed by leveraged buyouts on basic human survival.

Anyone who didn’t listen to the dire warnings in 2016, I am begging you to pay attention now. Democrats must win the senate majority.
