@WWERINGSIDE_GUY@Brewers I remember you. A couple months ago we were jogging buddies running neck&neck. Looks like you've fallen off the pace. Maybe if you offer our manager more than double his salary he'll help you catch up. Oh wait ..
@Brewers For those who think they know more than Pat Murphy on setting the batting lineup, I'd like to point out that YELICH SCORED THE WINNING RUN TODAY. Thanks for your attention to this matter.
@PaulBoris_@RichRaho Someone is definitely missing something. Trump believes kids are made to be used, abused, and discarded at will. He doesn't care if our kids can eat and he sure doesn't care about refugees. He pulls funding out of pettiness & you post CBP bullshit as if it justified everything.
If you have a bug zapper up, it's time to take it down.
A University of Delaware study analyzed nearly 14,000 insects killed by bug zappers over a single summer.
Mosquitoes accounted for 0.22% of them. Less than one quarter of one percent.
The other 99.78%? Moths, beetles, midges, fireflies, and other beneficial insects doing exactly what your yard needs them to do.
Here's why it's even worse than it sounds: mosquitoes don't find you by light. They find you by carbon dioxide, body heat, and skin chemistry. Your bug zapper is completely invisible to them.
Meanwhile it's running all night massacring the pollination night shift.
Moths are among the most important nocturnal pollinators alive, and they're flying straight into your zapper because they navigate by light.
Bug zappers kill over 70 billion insects annually in the US. Harvard Medical School's Zika page specifically warns against them, noting they may actually increase mosquito populations by eliminating the beneficial insects that prey on mosquitoes.
What actually works: eliminate standing water within 100 feet of where you spend time outside.
That's your best bet.
It's time to break up with the bug zapper.
Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.
In 2011, a neuroscientist at MIT named Dr. Li-Huei Tsai made a discovery that should have been on the front page of every newspaper on Earth.
She exposed mice with advanced Alzheimer's disease to a flickering light pulsing at exactly 40 Hz — forty flashes per second. Nothing else. No drugs. No surgery. Just light at a specific frequency.
Within one hour, the amyloid-beta plaques in their brains — the protein deposits that define Alzheimer's — began to dissolve. Not slow. Not gradually. Within sixty minutes.
After seven days of daily 40 Hz exposure, plaque levels dropped by 50%. The mice regained memory function. Their neurons began firing in synchrony again. The brain's immune cells — microglia — activated and started clearing the toxic buildup like a cleaning crew that had been asleep for years.
The study was published in Nature. The most prestigious scientific journal on the planet. Peer-reviewed. Replicated. Confirmed.
That was 2016. It is now 2026.
40 million people worldwide have Alzheimer's. The pharmaceutical industry generates $13 billion per year from Alzheimer's drugs that do not reverse the disease. Not one of them. They slow it. Maybe. Temporarily. At $26,000 per year per patient.
A 40 Hz light costs less than a dollar to produce.
Dr. Tsai is still at MIT. Her research continues. Phase III human trials are underway. But you will not see this on the evening news. You will not hear your doctor mention it. You will not find it in any pharmacy.
Because a frequency that costs nothing cannot sustain a $13 billion industry.
The light is 40 Hz. The frequency is real. The science is published. And 40 million people are still waiting for permission to use it.
#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “I mean, look at how they are treating deploying troops…Staff Sergeant Matthew Blank…is 23 years old…he enlisted at 18, he’s been in the military for five years. He has already had deployments to the Middle East and Europe…Before this next deployment, happily this past month, Staff Sergeant Blank got married. Big wedding in Texas…Last week he and his wife had their appointment…to get her her military spouse ID. Instead, when they showed up…ICE agents handcuffed her and took her to an immigrant prison.”🤦♀️
I just talked to Jesus. Real deep shit was said. No way to sugar coat it. American Christianity has become so insufferably fucking stupid that he's quoting Nietzsche and smoking clove cigarettes. I asked if he was suicidal. He responded "What's the point? Tried that shit before."
One of the most successful deceptions of our time was getting many Americans to fear diversity more than racism, equality more than misogyny, democracy more than fascism, immigrants more than authoritarians, the poor more than corrupt billionaires, and empathy more than cruelty.
@bryanbehar The acts described in the Epstein files, corroborated by victims, further supported by mountains of circumstantial evidence. Trump raped children and he's ordered many people to their death to try to cover up that fact.
@JamieBonkiewicz There are a lot of people who somehow don't understand that Trump is a pedophile. If it doesn't affect their daily lives then apparently it's not something that happened.
Either way you can't ignore those gas prices.
