@ProfNoelFitz Good afternoon sir, myself and my 9 month Shitzhu were unfortunately hit by a drunk driver resulting in Huxley breaking his rear leg (at the hip)
Could you please let me know how best to get in touch to seek your advice on the best way help him?
Thanks in advance
Remember in Orwell’s 1984 when, in the middle of Hate Week, Oceania suddenly switches its enemy? One minute, everyone is raging against Eurasia, screaming and waving banners, certain that they have always been at war with them. Then, mid-speech, the Party changes the narrative—Eurasia is now an ally, and the real enemy has always been Eastasia.
Without hesitation, the crowd accepts it. They tear down posters, burn old banners, and rewrite their own memories as if the past they had believed in just moments before never existed. The Party doesn’t just change history; it erases the very idea that history was ever different. And the people go along with it because to question it—to remember the truth—would be thoughtcrime.
"Oceania was at war with Eastasia: Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia. A large part of the political literature of five years was now completely obsolete. Reports and records of all kinds, newspapers, books, pamphlets, films, sound-tracks, photographs—all had to be rectified at lightning speed."
We're there.
JUST IN: Elon Musk says his son is "dead" thanks to the woke mind virus after he was put on puberty blockers, says he vowed to "destroy the woke mind virus after that."

"I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys... This was before I had really any understanding of what was going on."
"There was a lot of confusion and you know, I was told, oh he might commit su*cide..."
"My son Xavier is dead, k*lled by the woke mind virus."
"I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that... and we are making some progress."

@AldiUK I shopped in your Wickford store on the 10/02 and now I am faced with a £70 fine?!?
The letter also arrived today with a faunal payment date of tomorrow.
Surely fining your customers for shopping with you can’t be a great business model
From an amazing Michael Crichton talk:
“Media carries with it a credibility that is totally undeserved. You have all experienced this, in what I call the Murray Gell-Mann Amnesia effect. (I refer to it by this name because I once
discussed it with Murray Gell-Mann, and by dropping a famous name I imply greater importance to myself, and to the effect, than it would otherwise have.)
Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article
on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the
article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues.
Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page,
and forget what you know.
That is the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect. I'd point out it does not operate in other arenas of life. In ordinary life, if somebody consistently exaggerates or lies to you, you soon discount everything
they say. In court, there is the legal doctrine of falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus, which means untruthful in one part, untruthful in all. But when it comes to the media, we believe against
evidence that it is probably worth our time to read other parts of the paper.”
@plinketyplink2 Sad times! Once upon a time the entire place would have been filled with with love and now these kids just stand around taking the piss
Don’t worry son, we’ve all been there
@elonmusk The phrase means that while fate — whether determined by the stars, the gods or something else entirely — might nudge us in a certain direction, we are never forced in it. Free will exists, and the decision of what to do in any circumstance is ultimately our own.
