@abysstoabyss We had 2 great friends, both claimed to be devout Christians, with 2 kids. They both talked about Jesus, wore the cross, went to church, all of it.
This year it came out that the dad was ab*sing the wife and kids the whole time.
You never ever know. It's scary out there

The year is 1949.

The Nobel Prize in Medicine has just gone to the man who invented the lobotomy. Your doctor suggests one for your sister, who has not been herself since the baby came. It is the most celebrated advance in psychiatry of the age, and he is simply current. By the time the prize curdles into an embarrassment, close to twenty thousand Americans have had the operation, and proportionally more here in Britain.

The year is 1956.

Lay the baby down on his front, the doctor says. So does the most trusted childcare book ever written, the one on every new mother's shelf. On his back he might choke, the reasoning goes. Millions obey. The advice holds for nearly thirty years, long after the evidence has quietly turned, and a generation of cot deaths is counted before anyone thinks to roll the babies over.

The year is 1966.

A bestselling book informs your wife that menopause is a disease, that she is, in the author's word, a castrate, and that a small daily pill will keep her youthful and tolerable to live with. Her doctor agrees. The drug becomes one of the most prescribed in the country. Nobody mentions that the author sat on the payroll of the company that made it. That detail surfaces decades later, in the same year the landmark trial is halted early for raising rates of breast cancer, stroke and clots.

The year is 1979.

Your ulcer is caused by stress and sharp food, the doctor explains. Calm down, drink milk, take the antacid that happens to be the best-selling medicine on earth. Two Australians are about to prove that most ulcers are caused by a bacterium and cured by a fortnight of antibiotics. The profession laughs. One of them eventually drinks a beaker of the stuff to settle the matter. The establishment takes the better part of twenty years to stop laughing. The Nobel lands in 2005.

The year is 1985.

Butter is dangerous, the doctor says. Switch to margarine, it is modern, it is heart-healthy, the experts are united. The spread he nudges you toward is loaded with trans fats, which the next decade will identify as the genuinely dangerous one, and which will eventually be banned outright. The butter goes quietly back in the fridge. No correction is ever printed at the volume of the original warning.

The year is 1992.

There is a pyramid on the surgery wall, and the very same one in your grandchild's classroom. Bread, cereal, rice and pasta form the broad virtuous base, up to eleven servings a day. Fat is exiled to the tiny tip. The chart was reportedly held back a year while the relevant industries had their say. It is wrong at the bottom and wrong at the top.

Now it is today.

Your doctor has new guidelines, new studies, a fresh consensus, delivered with precisely the steady confidence of every guideline above. He believes it, and he has good reason to. So did every doctor in this thread. None of them were villains. Each was sincere, most were kind, and all were certain, reading from a map that somebody else had drawn and handed them. That is the part worth sitting with.

So when the man in the white coat tells you what to eat, what to fear, and what to swallow every morning for the rest of your life, you are allowed to ask. Who paid for the study. What the evidence says beneath the headline. What he was just as certain about thirty years ago, and where that advice sits now.

Then make up your own mind. Call it scepticism, or call it whatever your grandmother called it when she ignored the advert, kept the butter where it was, and lived to ninety-one.

It has outlasted every consensus on this list. It will outlast this one too.

[Sarah Colero @Sarah_Colero]

This social media ban for teens under 16 in Canada is wild considering the Parlimentary committee recommended in 2023 to expand MAID to "mature minors" which is 14 - 18.

So to the Canadian government, no social media at age 14, but yes to MAID use?

How does that make sense.

Long post, but this one is important to me so I hope you stick it out!

In January I reached out to Artemis II Commander @astro_reid with a simple ask- was he open to capturing the moon like I do for my colorful moon photos during the flyby?

He humbly agreed, and we worked out a plan to incorporate into the photos captured as the crew approached the moon. The premise was simple- just capture enough photos in a burst to allow for image stacking to improve image fidelity, potentially to reveal color no human has ever captured.

What he brought back was nothing short of magnificent. When I initially stacked the raw photos, it exceeded my expectations by far. The color came right out of the seemingly gray images, and showed details I've never seen before. It's possible nobody has. The lack of atmosphere meant a lot of color normally absorbed and scattered was present, so even the "near side" features looked exotic and unfamiliar.

This view of the moon from an alien perspective made the usually-familiar lunar surface fresh and exciting, and the color we were able to resolve gave us valuable insight to the complex geological history of it's battered surface.

Then, I faced a bit of a moral dilemma.

I wanted people to be able to own these images in print- but I wouldn't feel right to profit off of them. As an active NASA astronaut, Reid certainly can't. He took these photos as part of a taxpayer-funded mission. If I couldn't split profits with him I didn't see a way to do this ethically, so I decided to release the images initially with no print offering, despite many requests! 

Then, it clicked. After doing some research- I decided that I should do a print sale where the profits go 100% to charity. That way I can make prints available, do some good in the world, and it doesn't feel like an ethical conflict.

​I'm pleased to share my first EVER entirely-for-charity print release.
​
At the end of this sale all proceeds with be donated to UT MD Anderson Cancer Center. It feels fitting. I will follow up in a future post with a receipt from the donation, so you know how much we were able to donate. When I released this to my email subscribers only, we were already able to raise around $15k. Amazing!

The limited edition fine art print is now publicly available, you can grab one of them at the link in my bio (also linked further in the thread) for a short time.

Thank you for helping me do something good with my platform. Seriously... it feels amazing.

@joshychins @cardamomkiss Genuinely, it's because they don't care. It would take one extra second to line up the knife, but that's too much bother

[Dee🌴🌲 @MrsDeeWil]

@homemakinghunny My kids get "themed" birthday parties which means they pick a theme and I do my very best to make a cake around that theme, and I get some plates and napkins to match. Otherwise, it's burgers, cake and ice cream, and playing in the backyard 😌 And everyone is happy!

If your bible app uses the passion translation, get a new app. I like physical bibles personally but it’s nice to have an app for quick reference when you don’t have your bible.

This is the butchering of 1 John via the passion translation. 👻

I understand the desire for more Christian media, but it's been so clear for a long time that The Chosen is just not right

[Wasson Watch Co. @WassonWatch]

"I am the Law of Moses."

In the popular TV Show, "The Chosen," there's a scene where the Jesus character is reading from the Book of the Law. He's questioned by the Pharisees, who at some point tell him, "If you do not renounce your words, we will have no choice but to follow the Law of Moses," implying that they would be forced to kill him for speaking presumptively for God.

The Jesus character responds, "I am the Law of Moses."

This line caused no shortage of controversy for a variety of reasons. First, it is not found in the Bible. Where is it found? It's found in the Book of Mormon.

There's plenty of other controversy to go around with The Chosen. Many feel that it takes too much license in general (not just with the Law of Moses statement), and I know pastors who have to correct errant theology or ideas that people have basically gotten from The Chosen.

But the provenance of this scene isn't all that's wrong with it. It's not only not found in the Bible. It's also directly contradicted by the Bible, something I just noticed this morning while reading Romans 3.

Romans 3:21-22 says, "But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it - the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction."

If the righteousness of God has been manifested APART from the law, then Jesus is not literally the law. He is the AUTHOR of the law. The law points TO Jesus, but Jesus is not The Law.

However you feel about The Chosen, if you watch it, I just want to caution you that it is not the Bible. It is not a replacement for the Bible. Much of what you see in it is not in the Bible, and some parts even contradict the Bible.

The media we consume impacts us - sometimes more than we even realize. Act accordingly.

Last night, I read the entirety of C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters. It's a novel told in the form of letters written by a demon to another demon instructing him on ways to manipulate his "patient" to do evil.

This one quote sounded familiar.

Sharing this as far and wide as I can because it’s just heartbreaking what’s happening.

This is my cousin’s sister in law who has been missing since March. Someone is now intentionally tearing her face off the flyers. I know so many of you are far away but please share especially in you’re in the Greater Toronto Area or Ontario.

And please be praying for Danielle to brought back home and for her loved ones who miss her so much and living an absolute nightmare right now.

@HansFiene What a weird thing to say.
No different from the people who claim that the high divorce rate means that everyone has the same chances of divorce.
Lots of people would do this, but those people are not repulsed by this story.
