Over 300,000 people die of drowning each year. In order to protect society, it is now illegal to consume or possess water.

Your government is also considering banning solid food, as it presents a needless choking hazard.
You are not an adult.
You are a baby.
Eat the baby food.

@DubreuilhMarcel Et dire qu'il y a des gens qui sont choqués quand on évoque la peine de mort pour ces monstres et nous sortent un baratin du genre "Ils peuvent changer, se repentir..."! Le repentir n'efface pas les souffrances infligées ni ne ramène à la vie...!

@allenanalysis Solution is simple.
1. Cut off all US aid to Israel.
2. Organize global boycott of Israeli corporations and trade.
3. Demand Israel give up it's nuclear weapons.

The Boxer Rebellion has to have been one of the craziest things to have been a part of. Imagine you're just some farm boy from Arkansas and you want to see the world, so you sign up for the Marine Corps. You then find yourself in China protecting the ambassadors. Then all of a sudden, thousands of screaming China-men come out of nowhere and attack you and all the foreign legations.

You then find yourself shoulder to shoulder with an Italian guy, an Austrian, a Frenchman, a German, a Brit, a Russian, and even a Japanese dude all firing at these insane kung fu guys trying to kill all of you. Then your captain orders you to scale the walls of the forbidden city, take up a position there, and raise up the red white and blue. Absolutely incredible moment in American history.

Midjourney, the company behind the popular AI image generator, has unveiled what it says is the world’s first full-body ultrasound CT scanner.

>The technology aims to make full-body imaging safer and more affordable.

>During the scan, people are lowered into water while ultrasound waves create detailed 3D images of more than 25 organs and body structures in about one minute.

>The scan uses no radiation.

Midjourney is working toward FDA approval for future diagnostic uses and plans to bring the scanner to market by the end of 2027.

22 YEARS LATER AND NOBODY HAS ANSWERED FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO DR DAVID KELLY

His name was Dr David Kelly. Most people have forgotten him. They shouldn't.

He was a quiet, mild-mannered scientist who spent his career inspecting weapons facilities around the world.

He knew more about Iraq's arsenal than almost anyone alive.

In 2003, Tony Blair's @InstituteGC government published a dossier claiming Saddam Hussein could deploy chemical weapons within 45 minutes. That claim was used to justify a war.

Kelly knew the intelligence behind it was being exaggerated. He said so, privately, to a @BBCNews journalist.

That one conversation destroyed his life.

The government found out he was the source. Instead of protecting a man who had served his country for decades, they quietly let his name reach the press. He was publicly identified, dragged before two parliamentary committees, and grilled by his own employer.

His wife said he came home a broken man.

On the afternoon of 17 July 2003, he left his house for a walk in the Oxfordshire countryside. He was 59 years old. He never came back.

His body was found the next morning in woodland. A knife beside him. A blister pack of painkillers nearby.

Here is where it gets worse.

Tony Blair personally intervened to replace the normal coroner's inquest with a private inquiry run by Lord Hutton.

The original inquest was suspended before it even properly began. It was never resumed. To this day,

Dr David Kelly is the only person in England and Wales in living memory to have died in unexplained circumstances without receiving a full coroner's inquest.

Lord Hutton concluded suicide. Case closed.

Except eight senior doctors and a former coroner wrote to @thetimes saying the verdict was medically unsafe.

The wound found on Kelly's wrist, a severed ulnar artery, would not cause fatal blood loss in a healthy person.

There were no fingerprints on the knife. The painkillers found were not in a quantity that experts considered lethal.

The government's response, delivered by Attorney General Dominic Grieve in 2011, was essentially: the Hutton Inquiry was good enough, stop asking questions.

Think about that. A man quietly raised concerns about the biggest political deception in modern British history, a war that led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He was publicly exposed, professionally destroyed, and found dead days later and the government personally made sure there would never be a proper independent investigation into how he died.

Tony Blair went on to become a Middle East Peace Envoy. He has a knighthood.

Dr David Kelly got a private inquiry, a rushed verdict, and a sealed post-mortem report that was not released to the public for years.

Nobody was ever held accountable. Not for any of it.

This story should be on the front page every single year. Share it if you think it matters.

Usurpation d'identité : la SNCF facture les amendes à la victime
Volée de sa carte d’identité en 2021, une jeune femme de 22 ans subit depuis quatre ans une véritable descente aux enfers administrative. Plus de cent procès-verbaux SNCF, près de 10 000 euros réclamés, comptes bancaires impossibles à ouvrir et inscription au fichier des personnes recherchées. Dans cette affaire, la machine administrative continue d’encaisser tandis que la charge de la preuve repose sur la victime elle-même.

This envious attitude is a very real one and is exactly what destroyed Britain in the postwar era. Just look to Wentworth Woodhouse and the Fiztwilliam family

The Earls Fitzwilliam spent generations building a prosperous coal mining industry on their estate. They were beloved by the miners because they cared about miner safety, paid quite well, provided schools and such for the children of the miners, provided alternate work for the miners when the mines had to be temporarily shutdown, and otherwise were great employers who pushed the industry of the nation forward with a true sense of noblesse oblige

In so doing, they built up a stable and prosperous coal extraction effort that was worked by loving and loyal employees. As a result, they became immensely wealthy and used their wealth build Wentworth Woodhouse, one of the grandest and most gorgeous English country houses, and its beautiful parklands.

The miners by and large weren't envious. They had good jobs and good employers. All was stable, and everyone benefitted from the relationship

That state of things lasted for well over a century. In fact, the Fitzwilliams maintained good relations with their workers even when labor agitation elsewhere was a disaster for coal mine owners. The Fitzwilliams had done their duty, and were rewarded with loyalty for that

Such good behavior didn't matter when, in the aftermath of the Second World War, Attlee's Labour regime was elected. It nationalized all of British heavy industry, essentially, from the steel mills and railroads to the coal mines

That meant the Fitzwilliam mines were expropriated by the Labour regime

Yet worse, it meant a spiteful mutant named Manny Shinwell ordered the strip mining of all the coal on the estate, including through their beautiful and beloved parkland.

The workers still loved the Fitzwilliams, and they revolted, and in a genuine outpouring of love and support, refused to follow Shinwell's orders and begged Attlee to reverse the decision. He didn't; the strike was broken by the Labour regime, and the grounds were irreparably destroyed to mine valueless, dirty coal. So too was the house, which had its foundation destroyed by the open-cast mining, which went right up to the doorstep.

Now it can't be lived in, and the Fitzwilliams had to give it up. The government of course refused to pay for the damage it did, or to take responsibility for the reprehensible actions of its minions

And what was gained by all that destruction? Nothing.

The coal mined from the Fitzwilliam parkland was essentially valueless, the stolen mines were largely shut down by the Thatcher years, and all the capital that could have funded Britain's post-war rebuilding was instead stolen and wasted on the welfare nanny state

Priceless English heritage was destroyed, and noblesse oblige not just ignored but punished, all for nothing at all

Such is what they now want to do to Elon

He created a company doing things thought impossible until just years ago...because he did them. He became very wealthy as a result. He also minted thousands of millionaires in the process, including blue collar guys who stuck by the project for years and accumulated equity as they did so

Now spiteful mutants like Liz Warren want to follow in the footsteps of Manny Shinwell and expropriate his property to punish him for succeeding

If I'm reading this right, America is giving Iran $300 billion dollars, unfreezing billions more, ending all sanctions, acknowledging Iranian hegemony over the Hormuz, and in exchange we got to kill an 86 year old man, make gas more expensive, and blow up an elementary school.

🔴🇫🇷 𝗙𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗛 𝗜𝗡𝗙𝗢 — Selon Le Canard Enchaîné, Emmanuel Macron souhaiterait recaser plusieurs de ses plus proches collaborateurs à des postes prestigieux avant la fin de son mandat.

Washington, Londres, Bruxelles ou encore la représentation française à l’ONU à New York : les postes diplomatiques les plus convoités feraient l’objet d’intenses rivalités entre membres de la cellule diplomatique de l’Élysée.

Plusieurs diplomates expérimentés auraient été écartés au profit de fidèles du chef de l’État.

Le journal affirme qu’Emmanuel Bonne viserait le poste de représentant permanent de la France auprès de l’ONU, tandis qu’Aurélien Lechevallier, proche du président depuis leurs années d’études, serait pressenti pour l’ambassade de France à Washington.

Ces nominations susciteraient de vives tensions au Quai d’Orsay. Des diplomates dénoncent un « boys club » macroniste qui accaparerait les postes les plus prestigieux, au détriment de diplomates plus expérimentés et de plusieurs femmes diplomates.

The Rape Gang Inquiry Report details systematic child sexual exploitation by predominantly Pakistani-heritage Muslim men targeting vulnerable white British girls. Key findings: ~250,000 victims estimated since the 1950s; 87-95% perpetrators Muslim in analyzed cases. Grooming via drugs/alcohol/taxis, gang rapes, trafficking, blackmail, and racial/religious abuse.

Massive institutional failures by police, councils, and services driven by political correctness and fear of racism accusations; ethnicity/religion data often unrecorded. Links to clan honor codes and Islamic theological attitudes toward non-Muslims cited. Harrowing survivor testimonies included.

Conclusions: National scandal and state betrayal enabled by multiculturalism. Recommendations: mandatory ethnicity recording in crime data, deportations of foreign offenders, accountability, and reforms. Consistent with patterns in official inquiries like Rotherham and Telford.

When you die, your Netflix subscription keeps charging. Spotify bills the estate. The gym auto-renews. Until someone tracks down every account and cancels each one manually, a dead person's subscriptions can drain an estate for months.

There's no database that subscription services check against death records. The system relies on a living family member calling each company and presenting a death certificate. Most families don't even know which subscriptions their relative had.

In 2020, Netflix became the only major streaming platform to cancel what the industry calls zombie accounts, subscriptions that had gone unused for 12 to 24 months. Netflix said these represented less than half of 1% of its 182-million-subscriber base. Today Netflix has 325 million subscribers. If that same fraction applied, it would mean over 1.6 million accounts still billing every month, at an average of $11.70 globally or $17.26 in North America. Dead subscribers never call support or downgrade. They just pay.

No streaming company has built anything to detect when a subscriber dies. Netflix screened for inactivity. A family quietly using a dead relative's login looks completely identical to a living, paying subscriber.

Laws are only starting to catch up. California passed a law in September 2024 requiring digital platforms to disclose that clicking "buy" gives you permission to access content, not actually own it. Amazon updated its checkout language the same year to read "you're purchasing a license to the content." A Kindle library cannot legally be passed to your children. You spent real money on those books. You own none of them.

A 2019 Oxford University study ran the numbers for Facebook. If the platform keeps growing at its current rate, 4.9 billion dead profiles will exist by 2100. Even if Facebook stopped adding users tomorrow, dead accounts would still outnumber living ones on the platform by 2070. Apple, Google, and Facebook have each built tools to manage accounts after someone dies. Apple's version, launched in 2021, gives someone you name in advance access to your iCloud photos and data for three years. After that, Apple deletes everything permanently.

Unreal: the symbolism of Trump signing a surrender agreement at Versailles in which the US agrees to pay massive reparations is just too perfect.

I wouldn't be surprised if Macron weaponized Trump's complete ignorance of history and told him something like: "Mr. President, Versailles is where the most consequential deal of the 20th century was signed. Yours deserves the same stage."

Either that or Macron stumbled into the perfect historical parallel through sheer obliviousness - which, knowing him, is actually even more likely.

Good news! After decades of ignoring rampant environmental crime on the Roding, @EnvAgency has finally decided to act.

Bad news! It’s not against Thames Water for illegally dumping billions of litres of sewage in the Roding, or the waste criminals who have dumped thousands of tonnes of rubbish on its banks, but against myself & a small volunteer charity for… restoring a river without a permit!

Within a week of the magnificent work of River Roding Trust volunteers completing the arduous work of restoring 250 metres of the Aldersbrook this winter, EA investigators had been down to the site and rattled off a letter threatening us with prosecution for doing the work without a permit. This is despite the fact that the Trust have repeatedly asked the EA to do this vital work on the Aldersbrook themselves & they have refused. It is also despite the fact that they have not investigated the huge illegal sewage outlet on the Cranbrook a few hundred metres away, which illegally discharges 750,000,000 litres of raw sewage straight into the River Roding every year.

🚨 For anyone tracking the under-16 social media bans in Canada and the UK, you might have noticed the government suddenly walking back some specific wording.

They backed off forcing you to upload credit cards or facial scans because of the public backlash, and now they’re pushing a "backend token system". It sounds less intrusive on the surface, but here is the truth about what that actually means, because most people are being completely misled by that marketing:

A cryptographic token isn't a magic, anonymous poker chip. To work, a token has to be anchored to something verified. That means your physical device, your phone carrier contract, or your real identity is permanently tethered to that token.
Every single time your phone throws that token to let you log into an app, it logs exactly who you are, where you are, and what you're doing.

It isn't a privacy shield to protect kids. It's a digital passport that tracks an adult's every move across the internet.

Fred Rogers met with a child psychologist every week for 22 years to build his show. She shaped everything: every script, prop, and song. The whole point was to give a child's nervous system time to slow down. In 1984, a single regulatory decision ended all of it.

The psychologist was Dr. Margaret McFarland, who co-founded the Arsenal Family and Children's Center alongside Benjamin Spock and Erik Erikson. She and Rogers understood that the prefrontal cortex in children, the part of the brain that controls impulse, emotion, and attention, takes decades to fully develop. At the start of every episode, Rogers tied his sneakers and changed his sweater while children settled in. Those pauses were intentional, designed to help a child's nervous system shift into a calmer, more focused state.

What ended it had nothing to do with child development science. In 1984, Reagan's FCC chairman Mark Fowler abolished the advertising limits that had protected children's programming from commercial pressure. Toy companies moved within months. Between 1984 and 1985, cartoons tied to toy lines increased by 300%, from a handful of shows to more than 40 animated series. In almost every case, the toy was designed first. The cartoon was built to sell it.

Researchers later put numbers to what parents were already noticing. A 2011 study in Pediatrics from the University of Virginia tested 60 four-year-olds across three groups: one watching SpongeBob, which cuts scene every 11 seconds; one watching a slow PBS show, which cuts scene every 34 seconds; and one drawing. Nine minutes later, all three took tests on attention, impulse control, short-term memory, and problem-solving. The SpongeBob group scored significantly worse across every measure.

In the 1970s, children began watching television around age 4. Research from pediatrician Dimitri Christakis found that by 2009, the average age of first screen exposure had dropped to 4 months, as the content got faster and the audience got younger. Researchers separately found that each additional hour of daily screen time at ages 1 or 3 raised the risk of attention problems at age 7 by 9%.
