Hi Family, I'm so sorry for having to tell u this, but I'm dying. There are no more treatments available for me. Everyone came in, my entire Oncology team were all sqeezed into one Exam Room to say goodbye to me. It was a very intimate moment. So many ppl were hugging me, crying, then my doctor was hugging me & he said I can't believe this, this has never happened before, where my entire staff came in like this. I asked how long I have, he said anywhere between 6 weeks or 6 months, he said my numbers aren't sure, none of really know how long we have. Then Hospice came forward, they want me to get a pain pump she said after u get ur pain pump put in, we'll put a hosptial bed in ur mom's house. I said Hi, nice to meet u, my name is Kali😂 & ur not putting anything anywhere until I tell u 2 do so, bc I don't plan on needing that bed for a while.🫶 Anyway, I'll come on when I can & still talk to all of you! You all have been so instrumental during this entire journey of mine; I can't thank you enough & I love you all so much.💛
Popcorn Sutton: The most infamous Appalachian moonshiner ever who took his own life to avoid jail time after being caught with 1,000 gallons of untaxed liquor in 2009
UK police charged a man with a crime … of silently praying.
Adam Smith-Connor was standing quietly on a public green across the street from an abortion facility.
He was 50 - 75 meters away, stood by a tree to be out of its line of sight, and even had his back turned to the clinic, to avoid any impression of approaching or engaging with women using the facility.
Police: “We just wanted to come over and say hello, but also just to inquire as to your activities for today.”
Adam: “Well, I’m praying.”
He had been there for 3 minutes.
Police: “In terms of that, can I ask what is the nature of your prayer today?”
Adam: “I’m praying for my son, who is deceased.”
Police: “I’m sorry for your loss, but ultimately I have to go along with the guidelines of the Public Space Protection Order, to say that we are in the belief that you are in breach of the clause 4A, which says about prayer and also acts of disapproval around the activities at the clinic.”
Adam: “I’m just standing praying.”
For his silent prayer, Adam has been through two years of legal proceedings and just finished three days of trial. If he is found guilty, he will have a criminal record.
Local authorities have spent over £90k of taxpayer money prosecuting him.
The UK has truly become a dystopia.

The reality is much simpler there are no dogs in Haiti because in 1961 there was a failed coup attempt, and the President Duvalier believed that the coup leader had transformed himself into a dog using voodoo, so he ordered the execution of all dogs in the country.
.@PalmerLuckey explains why he supports specific tariffs after decades without them have destroyed America and Europe's manufacturing industry:
"It's not just the U.S. that China has hollowed out. It's everybody. It's the entire West. Tariffs are great because they ensure there is a market for manufacturing. And a market that takes place under U.S. human rights laws and energy laws."
"Slavery is really profitable. So you have a lot of places around the world with quasi-slavery or literal slavery making things really cheap."
"We end up enslaving ourselves in the long run. Let's play this out for 30 years. We now have no ability to make cars. No ability to make batteries or solar panels. Our energy, food, and automotive industry is owned entirely by our largest strategic adversary, which is also now the world's largest hyperpower."
"I would love to see tariffs on things directly downstream of strategically important assets. For example, I'm a fan of steel and aluminum tariffs to the extent that they allow us to maintain some steel and aluminum industry."

2) Stigma: this goes with timing, but at the time, people don’t realize this, but I was personally protested. If I showed up at tech events there was this contingent of people who worked very hard to try and make my life a living hellscape for daring to be a startup in this space.
This means I wasn’t able to hire easily like other startups. This wasn’t a company you could call home and brag about to your startup. So, we sometimes had to sacrifice our values to hire people who were long term not a cultural fit and in hindsight, I should have fired them.
