My dad handed me two clothespins. “This,” he said, “is the story of everything.”

In one hand: a clothespin from the 1960s. Solid hardwood, smooth from decades of use. It still works perfectly, some 60 years later.

In the other: a clothespin from 2025. Lighter, paler wood, brittle. The spring is thin and unstable. Marketed as “extra durable,” my dad just raised an eyebrow.

At first glance, it’s just two clothespins. But they tell a bigger story — the shift from durability to disposability, from craftsmanship to cost-cutting, from stewardship to constant consumption. This is planned obsolescence in action.

Products are designed to fail so we must keep buying. Slowly, subtly, they break. Frayed wires, cracked hinges, brittle springs. Not because we want more, but because the old was never built to last.

The costs are everywhere. Landfills overflow. Wallets empty. And maybe most quietly, our spirits grow accustomed to impermanence, to the idea that nothing is meant to endure.

What if this philosophy extends beyond objects? What if it shapes how we treat relationships, communities, homes, even the Earth — as temporary, replaceable, disposable?

It doesn’t have to be this way. That 1960s clothespin reminds us another path is possible. That we once made things to last, and we can again. That quality, care, and intention matter. That we can design for repair, for continuity, for meaning.

The story in my palm is about more than laundry. It’s about the choices we make and the world they create.

All the violence here is INHERENTLY political: law enforcement and soldiers are carrying out the dictates and commands of politicians, who gain power through the political system, which requires violence to function. If you can’t see this, the system’s got its claws in your brain.

ALL 535 cockroaches on Capitol Hill are Pharma and BIG Ag WHORES — breathlessly trying to hang onto their lobby bribes

I’m almost 72 years old
I have been drinking raw milk, butter, cheese and cream for over two years. My skin is impeccable, not only have I never had a G.I. issue, but I have a stronger healthier micro biome in my gut because of it.

Do not listen to these reptile prostitutes who are helping the government and Big Pharma keep you sick and kill you early. One makes them more money and the second saves them money. Resign @rosadelauro

Wait until people find out that the sun is good for you and that sunblock is bad for you. 🤷‍♂️

@rabbitholebot Nothing...I will never trust regular allopathic doctors again.

Hey remember when I pointed out that so many people who received the Covid Vaccine had changed their behavior and become way more compliant and docile even when presented with overwhelming evidence they were poisoned and the Government who did it is Tyrannical?

I sure do.🙁

Mid 1900s:
- Full-fat milk
- Salt with everything
- Cook with butter or lard
- Bacon & eggs for breakfast

Chronic illness rate: 5%
Obesity rate: 10%

Today:
- Seed oils are "heart-healthy"
- Avoid saturated fats & red meat
- Low-fat everything
- Oats for breakfast
- "Healthy" processed snacks

Chronic illness rate: 75%
Obesity rate: 28%

In just one generation, we went from eating animal-based foods/fats and staying thin and healthy to avoiding them and being overweight and sick.

Psychiatric medications all carry warnings:
"May increase suicidal thoughts"
"May cause weight gain"
"May impair sexual function"
"May cause permanent movement disorders"
"May increase diabetes risk"
"Should not be stopped abruptly"

So you take a drug for depression, it makes you fat and unable to have sex, which makes you more depressed, so they increase the dose.

But suggesting someone stop eating inflammatory processed foods and go outside is "dangerous medical advice."

The entire system is designed to create permanent patients, not healthy humans.

[Free Rider @Smoke6464]

Agreed.

Imagine if all doctors were this honest?
Unfortunately honesty doesn't pay the mortgage...

[Valerie Anne Smith @ValerieAnne1970]

People think hospitals are temples of healing. They are not. They are corporations, run by MBAs not Doctors.

Western medicine is only phenomenal at one thing...emergencies & trauma.

But for everything else? For actually getting healthy?
The system was NEVER built for that.

The “war on narcoterrorism”: patriotism or propaganda?

Whether Trump chooses to attack Venezuela or not, the same old tired narratives are still sucking people in. 💣😟

In the 1960s, Ancel Keys needed to prove dietary fat caused heart disease.

He had data from 22 countries.

He cherry-picked 7 countries that fit his hypothesis.

Ignored 15 that didn't.

Published the "Seven Countries Study."

This became the foundation of:
- Every dietary guideline since 1977
- The demonisation of saturated fat
- The recommendation of seed oils
- The cholesterol hypothesis
- 50 years of nutritional policy

Based on fraud.

Still taught in medical schools as fact.

Still used to justify statins for healthy people.

The biggest nutritional scandal in human history and nobody's been held accountable.

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

Medical school taught your doctor:
- How to prescribe medications
- How to order tests
- How to bill insurance
- How to avoid lawsuits

They didn't learn:
- How food affects health
- How to prevent disease
- How to optimise human function

It's down to you to learn that stuff.

[Carey @carey_wedler]

The shock and disgust at the assassination of Charlie Kirk because “political violence is unacceptable” rest on the delusional idea that politics is otherwise peaceful and civil. In reality, there is nothing peaceful or civilized about government and political authority: it is literally backed by the barrels of guns, and all laws are enforced through violence.

People are conditioned to be blind to this, but on some unconscious level they must know or they wouldn’t feel so terrified of/resentful toward their perceived enemies gaining power through government and being able to force their views on others through politicians and policy.

Saying so isn’t intended to minimize the inhumanity of killing *anyone*, but it’s a fallacious narrative and superficial conversation to focus on the scourge of “political violence” when it’s built into the system most people tolerate and even revere.
