On a scale of 1 to "going straight to hell," how bad is it to connect to the VRBO next door's Bluetooth speaker and randomly play ghost noises after midnight?
Hypothetically, of course.

@iplayrockymovie Hands down, Rocky is my favorite movie of all time. This one just might beat it. Best of luck, topping Rocky will be one hell of a feat.

His whole life was a million-to-one shot. I Play Rocky, based on the incredible true story, starring Anthony Ippolito - only in theaters this November.

"The problem that we have is that these big companies think they are governments. They want to be governments. They want to have totally unchecked power." ~ Yet another politician

I have no intention of wading back into politics, but sometimes they say the quiet part out loud.

The primary responsibility of the U.S. government is to protect the rights and liberties of the people while promoting the common good. "Promoting the common good" means advancing conditions that benefit society: public safety, infrastructure, national defense, and public health, not sacrificing one group for another.

If pursuing the common good infringes on constitutional rights and liberties, the Constitution wins. Government power is limited by the Constitution and subject to checks and balances.

Government does not have unchecked power.

I despise the media for turning politicians into rock stars. In a constitutional republic, we're not supposed to idolize government; we're supposed to question it, challenge it, and hold it accountable. Peacefully. Relentlessly. Without forgetting that government exists to serve the people. It's in the name: public servant.

The surest path to victory is not conquering your foe; it's convincing them to conquer themselves through division.

82 years ago today, over 10,000 Americans were either killed, wounded or missing after the D-Day invasion. They are the shoulders we stand upon. Their sacrifice is why we STAND UP for our Flag. I dedicate this song to them today. Here's "The Man."

@spacebrandonb Thank you so much for posting this. I was driving when I heard it. There are no words.

🚨 WOW! Artemis II pilot Victor Glover gives the PERFECT response to a leftist reporter asking about skin color

"I hope we push that one day...it's about human history, humanity, NOT 'black history,' not 'women's history,' but that it becomes human history!"

RIGHT ON!

Victories for Americans and victory for humanity 🇺🇸🚀

[Scott Hadaway @ScottHadaway]

@EricLDaugh @AstroVicGlover is the real deal.

[Scott Hadaway @ScottHadaway]

Huge fan @AstroVicGlover, your words during the interview should be shared on every device on the planet. Hoping someone releases a transcript so I can share. Bravo and Godspeed!

Rita Moreno is one of just three people to win an Emmy for The Muppets, the other two: Bernadette Peters and Peter Sellers. The comedy timing during her performance of "Fever" while Animal attempts to railroad her is incredible. It was also done in one take
"Dat my kinda woman!"

Ode to Apple’s Liquid Glass

O Liquid Glass, thou shimmering pretender,

How do I scorn thee? Let me count the ways:

I love thee as a mirror in midlife crisis,
Reflecting everything yet revealing naught,
A kaleidoscope of glare where focus dies.

I love thee for the game of Where’s Waldo apps,
Icons drowned in refraction’s smug embrace,
Each tap a treasure hunt through frosted haze.

I love that productivity bowed to “vibes,”
Where once I worked, now I admire the sheen,
A meditation on translucency, not tasks.

I love that everything shines, yet nothing works,
Buttons dissolve in light’s capricious dance,
Text retreats behind thy glassy smirk.

I love the squinting I’ve perfected as craft,
A new core competency: eyes half-closed,
To pierce the glamour for the ghost of function.

I love thy accessibility as afterthought,
A WCAG whisper lost in iridescent fog,
Thou art the emperor’s new wardrobe, digitized.

O Liquid Glass, thou meta-material divine,
Fluid as Apple’s excuses, deep as marketing spin,
Thou art the triumph of form over every fucking thing else.

Truly, a masterpiece for the ages.

Shiny bullshit.

@Sean_in_Boston @DocStrangelove2 You are correct but let's be honest, if he gave us a 3 second headshart he's still be done before we were :)

@lamps_apple @MalcolmNance @gbrew24 Now that's a ratio :)

@ShawnRyan762 @theglacierapp TAKE MY MONEY!

@HealthyNestzz There is a big difference in something containing useful compounds and something being good for you. Do not eat avocado pits. The Tannins and Trypsin Inhibitors alone cause problems. Add the fact that too much will nuke your liver, and this a very bad idea.

1866: Cotton seeds are agricultural waste. After extracting cotton fiber, farmers are left with millions of tons of seeds containing oil that's toxic to humans. Gossypol, a natural pesticide in cotton, makes the oil inedible. The seeds are fed to cattle in small amounts or simply discarded.

1900: Procter & Gamble is making candles and soap. They need cheap fats. Animal fats work but they're expensive. Cotton seed oil is abundant and nearly worthless. If they could somehow make it edible, they'd have unlimited cheap raw material.

The process they develop is brutal. Extract the oil using chemical solvents. Heat to extreme temperatures to neutralise gossypol. Hydrogenate with pressurised hydrogen gas to make it solid at room temperature. Deodorise chemically to remove the rancid smell. Bleach to remove the grey color.

The result: Crisco. Crystallised cottonseed oil. Industrial textile waste transformed through chemical processing into something white and solid that looks like lard. They patent it in 1907, launch commercially in 1911.

Now they have a problem. Nobody wants to eat industrial waste that's been chemically treated. Your grandmother cooks with lard and butter like humans have for thousands of years. Crisco needs to convince her that her traditional fats are deadly and this hydrogenated cotton-seed paste is better.

The marketing campaign is genius. They distribute free cookbooks with recipes specifically designed for Crisco. They sponsor cooking demonstrations. They target Jewish communities advertising Crisco as kosher: neither meat nor dairy. They run magazine adverts suggesting that modern, scientific families use Crisco while backwards rural people use lard.

But the real coup happens in 1948. The American Heart Association has $1,700 in their budget. They're a tiny organisation. Procter & Gamble donates $1.7 million. Suddenly the AHA has funding, influence, and a major corporate sponsor who manufactures vegetable oil.

1961: The AHA issues their first dietary guidelines. Avoid saturated fat from animals. Replace it with vegetable oils. Recommended oils: Crisco, Wesson, and other seed oils. The conflict is blatant. The organization issuing health advice is funded by the company that profits when people follow that advice.

Nobody seems troubled by this. Newspapers report the guidelines as objective science. Doctors repeat them to patients. Government agencies adopt them into policy. Industrial cotton-seed oil, chemically extracted and hydrogenated, becomes "heart-healthy" while butter becomes "artery-clogging poison."

1980s: Researchers discover that trans fats, created by hydrogenation, directly cause heart disease. They raise LDL, lower HDL, promote inflammation, and increase heart attack risk more than any other dietary fat. Crisco, as originally formulated, is catastrophically unhealthy. This takes 70 years to officially acknowledge.

Procter & Gamble's response: Quietly reformulate without admission of error. Remove hydrogenation, keep selling seed oils, never acknowledge that their "heart-healthy" product spent seven decades actively causing the disease it claimed to prevent.

Modern seed oils remain. Soybean, canola, corn, safflower oils everywhere. Same chemical extraction process. Same high-temperature refining. Same oxidation problems. Just without hydrogenation so trans fats stay below regulatory thresholds.

These oils oxidise rapidly when heated. They integrate into cell membranes where they create inflammatory signalling for months or years. They're rich in omega-6 fatty acids that promote inflammation. They've never existed in human diets at current consumption levels.

But they're cheap. Profitable. And the food industry has spent a century convincing everyone they're healthy. The alternative, admitting that industrial textile waste shouldn't have been turned into food, would require acknowledging the last 110 years of dietary advice was fundamentally corrupted from the start.

Your great-grandmother cooked with lard because that's what humans used for millennia. Then Procter & Gamble needed to sell soap alternatives and accidentally created the largest dietary change in human history.

We traded animal fats that built civilisations for factory waste that causes disease.

The soap company won. Your health lost.
