Reminder to go touch grass
A scientist in Japan demonstrated that the air inside a forest strengthens your immune system for a full month
The study is incredibly fascinating:
Qing Li, an immunologist at Nippon Medical School in Tokyo, took 12 men on a 3-day forest trip. These were slow walks with no breathing exercises and no set route.
Then he tested their blood and found a surge in natural killer cells -- the immune cells your body uses to fight cancer and virus-infected cells.
Remarkably, the effect didn't fade when they went home, it was still measurable 30 days later.
A control group that walked the same distance through a city showed no change at all.
Pine, cedar, and cypress trees release compounds called phytoncides to defend themselves from insects and bacteria. You breathe them in, and Li believes they switch your immune cells into high gear.
He estimates one forest walk a month may be enough to keep those cells elevated all year.
The best medicine might not even need a prescription -- just a walk among the trees.

Joe Rogan's wildlife biologist guest goes on a "f*cking tirade" about how the Gates Foundation "absolutely collapsed" one of Africa's most abundant fisheries that feeds millions of people, all in the name of "avoiding malaria."
The more he talks, the angrier he gets.
FORREST GALANTE: "Do you know what they did fucking in the Cahora Bassa Delta with their mosquito nets?"
ROGAN: "No. What'd they do?"
GALANTE: "Dude, I'm gonna go on a f*cking tirade here."
ROGAN: "Please do."
GALANTE: "Okay, so the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation decided that there was too much malaria in Africa, right? Which you and I could probably agree with. Malaria is bad. So what did they do? They gave all of these people living in tribal villages.
"I totally pirated your thing. I'm sorry, but I'm gonna go on a fucking rant here. They gave all these people living in the Cahora Bassa Delta, which is the breadbasket of the Zambezi Valley, meaning, like, where more fish are born. It's a nursery for fish. Right. Not just there, but this is a good micro example.
"They gave millions of mosquito nets out to all these people to 'avoid malaria.' Guess what the people who are starving to death did with their mosquito nets? They fished with them. They fished with them. Mosquito net has a hole that is so small that a mosquito can't get through. So guess what?
"These mosquito nets now indiscriminately catch tiny baby fish in areas like Cahora Bassa, where the fish go to breed and reproduce and populate. So now all of a sudden, you have thousands and thousands of people that have been handed nets that have been living one way for hundreds of thousands of years.
"They don't give a sh*t about malaria. They have their own way of dealing with malaria. They sit in smoky huts at night, they sleep with a campfire. Everything else, yes, they still get malaria, some of them, but they deal with it their own way. Bill Melinda Gates Foundation come in, hand out millions of mosquito nets, absolutely collapse the entire population of fish that feed millions of people.
"Because these people just take the nets and fish all the baby fish out so that those fish don't grow up to make substantial protein sources. So now these wonderful 'philanthropists' that have given out millions of nets, have destroyed an ecosystem, crashed a fish population and created widespread hunger for people that otherwise had plenty of resources, all because they were trying to 'help' with their mosquito nets."
ROGAN: "Oh, God."
GALANTE: "It's just like. It's a f*cking disaster, dude. They've taken such a rich and important part of Africa, one of the most abundant freshwater fisheries in the world, and destroyed it. Because they're 'helping' by handing out mosquito nets."
ROGAN: "Good God."
GALANTE: "Yeah, I know. Sorry. I told you I'd go on a rant, but it's like, it's so bad what's happened over there. And they're still giving out mosquito nets, by the way. And you literally watch these guys line up, take a mosquito net, and it never goes in their house. It goes straight to catching fish that are this big [tiny] for them to eat."
ROGAN: "Oh, God…"
eu morro tanto com esse vídeo quando todo mundo cai os caras ficam desesperados com medo de serem atacados e ela tipo MEUS AMORES EU SÓ QUERO SAIR DAQUI
I’m glad that ABC is admitting that the toxic chemicals in your sunscreen are dangerous and cause cancer.

"I intend to kill Muslims."
That's what the suspect told police after stabbing a Muslim kiosk worker 15+ times in Utah.

Share so this isn't ignored.
🚨🗣️ Jude Bellingham has revealed what he said to Lionel Messi after the match.
🗣️ Reporter: "We saw you walk over to Messi and have a brief conversation. What did you say to him?"
🗣️ Bellingham: "Nothing major. I told him the whole world knows how the higher authorities have helped him get to this point, so he shouldn't feel too special."
"I also told him that Ronaldo is better than him before I walked away."
🗣️"I didn't hold back. I looked him dead in the eye and told him that his entire career is nothing but a manufactured narrative fueled by preferential officiating. I made sure to let him know that, in the history books, he'll always be a footnote compared to the sheer dominance of Cristiano Ronaldo."💀🔥
So a man walked up to a Muslim employee at a kiosk in a mall yesterday, asked for water, and as the employee turned he stabbed him 15 times, saying he “intends to kill Muslims” and is planning mass casualty events.
Anti-Muslim hate crimes keep happening and no one even blinks.
How do I explain to the psychologist that I saw a lost kitten and its mother found it, scolded it, and after checking that it was okay, slapped it and took it home?
Referring to Dunblane as “one murder” is a shameful distortion of one of Scotland’s darkest days.

A stark reminder of just how out of touch Britain’s privileged elites really are.
SNEAKO and Alex Jones are the FUNNIEST duo 😭💀
Alex Jones: "How 'bout I become a Shia with you and we take swords, cut our heads, and march for 8 hours."
SNEAKO: "Or I could be a Megachurch Christian with Kenneth Copeland, drinking my blood. I could be with Erika Kirk shooting fireworks up my ass and twerking."
A Yemeni man shared the story of a young camel whose mother had passed away a few days earlier. Every night, the little camel would quietly disappear and return only at dawn. Curious to know where it was going, the man decided to follow it.
As the sun set, the young camel walked straight to the place where its mother's lifeless body rested. It gently lay beside her, as if still searching for the comfort and warmth of her embrace, and remained there throughout the night.
This touching moment reminds us that love, loyalty and longing are not emotions reserved for humans alone. Allah has placed affection and compassion in the hearts of all His creation.
