Here's the other story: Trump letting India off Russian oil sanctions for 1 month. Ostensibly to lift oil prices over war but does Krasnov really need an excuse to do a solid for his bestie Putin?

This comes on same day we learn Russia giving Iran anti-US intelligence

Taking the heat. Sauna's popular and there may be health benefits too It's an age old practice that's having a moment right now. But is there anything to the health claims? Scientists say sauna is more than hot air.

Tired of dystopian sci-fi? You might like Solarpunk. A recent literary genre imagines what happens when our climate changesβ€”and so do we.

After decades of political obsession, I now believe the most powerful political strategy is a *positive vision.*

So I joined the solarpunk movement, because a world with clean energy & living wildlife is the *most subversive vision* to our current world on fire

Stardew Valley at 10: the anticapitalist game that cures burnout and inspires queer art Since 2016, the cosy, inclusive, non-heteronormative escapism of the beloved farming sim has inspired a community of devoted fans, and helped it shift 50m units

Years ago when I had an Adderall rx, there was about a month in there where I couldn't stop playing Stardew Valley.

It's like crack and no animal cruelty whatsoever

At least 153 dead after reported strike on school, Iran says Iran has blamed the US and Israel for the strike; the US is looking into reports of the incident, while the IDF says it is "not aware" of operations in the area.

If I'm being honest with people about how I feel about football, it sounds like I'm doing a bit. But I'm not. This is genuinely how I experience it:
I don't know who these guys are. But if they have fun playing with their balls? Good for them! Mazel tov! Enjoy your balls!

Just a reminder, folks, that racism runs on bullshit.

The damage is real. The violence is real. But the premise--that humanity comes in biological tiers--is a lie.

Racism was *INVENTED* to justify slavery.

There is only one MF human race and anyone who tells you different is a gaslit fool.

OK, I did a little more digging on Sascha Riley & the timeline discrepancies seem to be legitimate criticisms.

Other than that, especially since some of the grotesquerie mirrors recent Epstein files (& at least 1 of those horrible tales confirmed by Allison Gill) it seems credible.

Time will tell

So from all the evidence over all these years, including latest Epstein releases & the Sacha Riley testimony & on & on--it isn't a pee tape Trump is worried about.

It's a fuck/snuff movie with a child.

Todd Blanche tells us the "depictions of violence" stuff within the Epstein files will *not* be released but from the allegations alone (unsubstantiated thus far but match every other data point we know), these acts were committed against children and are horrific:

***SNUFF MOVIE level horrific***

DOJ Just DELETED This Document from the Epstein Files. We Saved It. The Trump Department of Justice has done it again.

I am sure most of you have seen this. Combine this and the Sascha Riley allegations and it is quite clear why the U.S. prez is currently destroying the U.S.--his own country--for mass murderer Putin
