Sophie casually zooms in on the cold sore, drops “I have herpes,” and blames the chapstick like it’s nothing. Zero shame. 💅Absolute legend. 🔥🤣

Again “st Paul man”.
He murdered 3 people and was not from St. Paul.
And hey KSTP, this didn’t “have to happen” why TF was that in your copy? Seriously.

The @WNBA says that the @sophaller finger point can't be licensed by brands because it is "derogatory."

I will make it from @xx_xyathletics for Sophie without licensing it, so she makes all the money. I'll make it on her behalf.

She should make all the money off her own meme.

Submitted: In a job posting from Ramsey County for a library branch manager in White Bear Lake, the focus appears to be on the racial makeup of the county.

“White Bear Lake is 83% white as compared to 65% in Ramsey County as a whole. We are seeking candidates with skills in community engagement and anti-racism who can build trusting co-creating relationships with residents, especially the 17% who are less likely to feel a sense of belonging.”

“The job announcement is full of DEI junk. As a librarian, it is so frustrating to watch the downfall of my profession,” a tipster told @AlphaNews.

Gary Brecka recommends mineral sunscreens with non-nano zinc or titanium dioxide on Megyn Kelly’s show.

Chemical sunscreens have skyrocketed alongside skin cancer rates, and many contain carriers that get absorbed into the bloodstream. Science shows mineral blockers sit on the skin and reflect UV rays, while many chemical ones penetrate and may disrupt cells.

The skin is a gateway, not just a barrier, what we put on it matters.

[Nicolas Hulscher, MPH @NicHulscher]

The LARGEST sunscreen-skin cancer study EVER done (n=470,000) found sunscreen users faced dramatically higher risks of ALL major skin cancers:

Invasive melanoma: 292% HIGHER
Melanoma in situ: 258% HIGHER
Basal cell carcinoma: 140% HIGHER
Squamous cell carcinoma: 126% HIGHER

This little boy knew the entire speech from Rocky and got to recite it to Sylvester Stallone who joined in.
What a memory.

Stop being afraid to tell the plain and honest truth. It takes courage to say it and effort to learn it, but it is our duty to love the truth enough to undertake both.

In 1980, Atlanta Falcons quarterback June Jones told Congress his career would have ended without DMSO and that a man who hadn't walked in 6 years, within 2 weeks of DMSO. This is an interview he gave to 60 minutes about DMSO's underground use in the NFL after which the FDA promised to Congress they'd stop stonewalling DMSO...but 45 years later, nothing has changed.

Because of the endless lies with the COVID vaccines, many parents are now asking how to know if any vaccine is safe, effective or necessary for their child.

That's a surprisingly difficult question. This article makes a careful attempt at answering it.

[Milton Friedman Quotes @MiltonFriedmanW]

Milton Friedman on how welfare programs destroy a society:

“Welfare programs have an insidious effect on the moral fiber of both the people who administer the programs and the people who are supposedly benefiting from it.

For the people who administer it, it instills in them a feeling of almost Godlike power. For the people who are supposedly benefiting, it instills a feeling of childlike dependence. Their capacity for personal decision-making atrophies.

The result is that the programs involved are a misuse of money. They do not achieve the objectives which it was their intention to achieve. But far more important than this, they tend to rot away the very fabric that holds a decent society together.”

Cancer doctors are “firing” patients for taking ivermectin and fenbendazole. That’s why most of the patients I know aren’t telling their oncologists.

Great conversation.

Dr. Sabine Hazan restored speech in nonverbal autistic identical twins by increasing bifidobacteria in their microbiome.

One twin reached 50% bifidobacteria and is now reading every book.

The other reached 10%, but both started speaking.

N of 2, but a powerful proof-of-concept.

She’s figuring out the kinks so others can validate and build on it.

A fascinating look at the gut-brain connection.

What do you think, could the microbiome play a bigger role in autism than we realize?
