Excellent analysis! The historical themes repeat and the calcified ruling class is so isolated from the common citizens that they don’t see the coming revolution and civil war! THERE IS NO VESPASIAN WAITING IN THE WINGS TO SAVE THE US!
We are living in Weimar America — and Democrats are ignoring the warnings of their party’s most popular president. rollingstone.com/politics/po…

I hope so. At this point remaining in the party is no different than remaining with a spouse who abuses you over and over and over and over again.

Democrats didn’t waste any time falling in line behind AIPAC funded Hakeem Jeffries. You’re never getting health care.
thalesnemo retweeted
This is the oldest trick in the neoliberal playbook: Weaponize identity politics to conceal your corruption. It won’t work. We oppose Hakeem Jeffries because he takes AIPAC/corporate money. If he had the politics of Fred Hampton we’d be calling him Chairman Jeffries!

"It was very interesting to me, as observed by others, that there was almost zero diversity in that crowd."

Despite having one of the highest K-12 education budgets in the world, the USA dedicates an exceptionally low percentage of that spending to teacher salaries & ranks DEAD LAST among industrialized nations in teacher pay. The Democrats need to talk about that. Too much to ask?

If these generated reliable, cheap electricity, I wouldn’t have an argument to stand on.
If your electric bill was half of what it was a year ago, I wouldn’t be posting on here.
But these don’t generate reliable energy. They don’t generate energy when we need them most (during blizzards). And your electric bill is 3x what it was this time a year ago.
Solar complexes need a disgusting amount of subsidies and credits to stand on since they generate intermittent, pathetic amounts of energy in our climate.
Commercial solar converts at 12-15% of its annual potential in Upstate NY. That’s why it has to be insulated from an open market. And they insulate it with YOUR money (delivery charge, SBC charge, and taxes).
The result? Our environment is being irreversibly mutilated. I took these photos of the latest complex going in to Fort Edward, New York, where the town government there has opened up the land and history to unchecked foreign corporate destruction.
Our farmland, grasslands, DEC-designated habitats, water, and state-endangered and threatened species are for sale.
New York State, corrupt town boards, and politicians paid by multinational solar and wind conglomerates are selling out our future.

No you did not. You're not insulin resistant. Or you're not diabetic. One or the other.

November 7, 1888 — C. V. Raman was born.
His discovery of the Raman effect showed how light interacts with matter, transforming spectroscopy and earning him the 1930 Nobel Prize in Physics. ✨🔬

Teachers - I’d do EXACTLY what this teacher did (he did ring the emergency button) and recommend you do the same. It is not worth getting harmed when students choose to fight.

Expel them…..and keep expelling them until word gets out that bad behavior won’t be tolerated.

These poor people breathing in all those particles. They dont go anywhere. They get stuck in the body and cause health issues and cancer.

Fascinating study about cancer and ketones just dropped and it's not quite what you'd expect.
"Doesn’t the glutamine in protein provide fuel for cancer?”
Cancer cells use nutrients but so do the immune cells fighting them.
A new study of mice suggests a ketogenic diet might play a profound role in that fight.
Researchers discovered that ketones boosted gut bacteria that helped supply a molecule called uridine. Working with ketones, uridine activated an immune system alarm inside the tumor cells that caused tumor growth to slow and reduce inflammation in other parts of the body.
Researchers also tested uridine and ketones in lab-grown human tumors and observed the activation of that same alarm pathway.
So what does this have to do with glutamine?
You need glutamine to make uridine.
Could this be assurance to those who are concerned about feeding cancer with a high protein diet?
It's hard to say for sure and the study didn’t test that question but it appears that the same nutrient can support both the tumor and the immune system's response to that tumor... and that glutamine might sometimes be doing more good than harm.
I really hate when a study ends with the comment: More studies are needed.
But I totally agree.
*Disclaimer: If you read my post and you read the study (link below,) you’re going to see that the study doesn’t talk about glutamine.
But I tried to carefully frame references to glutamine in my post as questions or possibilities, not actual findings in the study.
