A recent study found that doing 10 bodyweight squats every 45 minutes during an 8.5-hour period of sitting, is more effective for blood sugar regulation than a single 30-minute walk.

Disrespectfully, you can shove your data centers, kill switch enabled vehicles, 15-minute prisons, and AI flock cameras right up your ass

Israel is no one’s ally.

They do not want peace.

We are about to watch the most destructive temper tantrum of the 21st century.

It’s long past time an adult took away their toys and disciplined them.

the older I get the more I realize that without a higher purpose in life -- without God -- you will go insane.

you will worship a false idol: celebrities, money, politics, pleasure, traveling...and it will never be enough.

It was written to restrain the government's behavior.

I overheard a girl saying yesterday ‘worrying is such a terrible use of your imagination’ … and I audibly gasped.

No matter how jacked up the world gets, you can still choose to live a good life.

You'll never be able to control the world or everybody else in it. But you can control yourself and influence those around you in a positive way.

[Carnivore Aurelius ©🥩 ☀️🦙 @AlpacaAurelius]

you need to be positivitymaxxing. you need to look for the good in every situation. you need to stop feeding your negative thoughts, cut them off, flip them into the positive. negative thoughts are associated with alzheimers, they poison your brain, your body and your vibe. positive thoughts are powerful. they make your body go strong, your mood better, your vibe improves, everyone around you feels it. as you think, you become. be delusionally optimistic about everything.

I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.

Indiana is exactly how I dreamed America would be

Small towns, wide open spaces, cornfields, barns, cute houses, diners, water towers, friendly people, great food, American flags everywhere, and so much more!

Time for the next part of this adventure

Thank you Indiana!

ALARMING: Google Releasing 64 Million Mosquitoes — Protect Your Family with 'Buckets of Doom'

Mosquito Buckets (Buckets of Doom)
Safe, non-toxic, ~$20 DIY traps that kill mosquitoes before they bite. Perfect for yards, kids, pets & home.

Directions For One:
1. Get a 5-gallon bucket.
2. Fill ⅔ with water + handful of grass clippings, hay, or leaves.
3. Drop in ¼–½ Mosquito Dunk (Bti).
4. Place in shady yard spot. Loosely cover with mesh or lid with holes.
5. Refresh dunk & organic matter every 4 weeks. Top off water as needed.

How It Works (Science):
- Fermenting grass/hay releases odors that attract female mosquitoes to lay eggs here.
- Larvae hatch and eat the Bti (natural bacterium).
- Bti toxins destroy larvae gut — they die before becoming biting adults.
- Highly specific to mosquitoes. Completely safe for humans, pets, birds, bees.

Place several buckets around your property to slash local mosquito numbers fast.

A majority of Americans don't want data centers.

A majority of Americans don't want AI.

A majority of Americans don't want tech oligarchs monetizing their data.

It's not a "right/left" issue.

Surveillance capitalism will enslave everyone.

With everything we are hearing right now about ticks this seems like good information to share.

“Here’s what I’ve learned after more ticks than I care to count.
First, whatever your uncle told you, forget it. No matches. No nail polish. No Vaseline. No soap on a cotton ball. All of those do the same terrible thing, they stress the tick out, and a stressed tick empties its gut back into the bite before letting go. Which, if you think about what that actually means for a second, is literally how Lyme and the rest get transmitted so you’re not speeding up its exit. You’re making it throw up into you.
Fine-tipped tweezers. Grip right where the mouthparts enter the skin, not the body, the head. Pull straight up, steady, no twisting, no jerking. It’ll feel like it’s resisting because it is, the mouthparts are barbed. Just keep the pressure on and it lets go in a few seconds. If a piece breaks off in the skin, leave it alone. Your body pushes splinters out. Digging around with a needle does more damage then the fragment ever would.
Clean it with alcohol or soap. Wash your hands.
Now here’s the part most people skip: don’t flush the tick.
Tape it to an index card. Clear packing tape right over the body, write the date and where on your body it was, and stick the card in a drawer. If you come down with anything weird in the next 30 days, rash, fever, joint pain, that flu-that-isn’t-flu feeling, that tick goes with you to the doctor. Some labs will test the tick itself, which is faster and often more reliable than waiting for antibodies to show up in your own blood. A dated tick taped to a card is one of the most useful things you can hand a doctor who’s trying to figure out what’s wrong with you.
The other thing worth saying out loud: if the tick was engorged when you pulled it, and you can’t swear it was off your body within 24 hours, call your doctor that same day. Don’t wait for a rash. Fewer than three out of four Lyme cases even produce the classic bullseye. A single preventive dose of doxycycline within 72 hours of a deer tick bite cuts the Lyme odds way down, and most docs in tick country will write that prescription without giving you a hard time, especially if you walk in with the tick taped to a card and a clear timeline.”

🚨 Flock cameras are commenting a lot more data than we think they are

“They also monitor where you walk, what you do, what you say, what's on your phone when you walk by, and they spy on you all the time — These cameras utilize AI to track you and your family when you're out in public. They run, they run by a company, Palantir.

This company claims that they just record movement of vehicles and they will reduce the crime rate 0. However, people much more educated than I on these cameras have proven this to be false”

“Today I walked around and I noticed the one down by the bridge was pointed towards the courtyard and the field, not towards any roads. So why would it be pointed towards the river, not towards the streets, if it's just to monitor vehicles?”

He’s right, I looked it up and they are collecting way more data than we think

They create “vehicle fingerprints”of your car like color, make, model, stickers, dents and use AI for searches. Newer systems include video feeds and natural language queries. They can capture pedestrians, bystanders, and activities in view

They are also using this data for “predictive policing.” You can be profiled before you do anything wrong

Flock is not owned or operated by Palantir. Flock says they don’t share data with Palantir. However, Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund invested in Flock, and Flock’s data can integrate with platforms like Palantir’s for law enforcement analytics. Thiel co-founded Palantir, which does predictive policing and data fusion

So I think there is very clearly more to this….

Flock cameras are the surveillance state being put up on America
