Yes. Just avoid voting for yourself, it's rude.

Emerging from the Americas and now appearing in Europe, the Philippines, Nigeria and South Africa, today’s narco-evangelists share an increasingly popular strand of Christianity: Pentecostalism. It’s the fastest-growing religion in the world, already with around 650 million followers. A branch of evangelical Protestantism, in recent decades Pentecostalism has become the faith of the world’s poor. In large part, this is because of its particular focus on the Holy Spirit’s role in health and wealth, but there is also the significant lure of the faith’s deep authenticity, rooted in local cultures. Much of this is due to the fact that there is little in the way of authority structures and pastoral oversight. Not only is there no Pentecostal pope, but all you really need to be a preacher is followers.

It wasn't unique, it wasn't a "one off". The unique framing appeals to conservatives as it feeds into exceptionalism and impunity. "We're special!" It's those people who only care about stuff when it happens to them. Same as with abortions and "The only moral abortion is my abortion".

Fundamentally, this is evidence of the failure to generalize learning (what learning is for), a grand failure of intelligence.

spoiler


It's a simple 3 panel web comic. There are 2 characters which are also simple. As the artist name suggests... a circle with nose, ears, eyes, mouth, and some tiny legs.

Character 1 says: "Vaccines are the deadliest poison!"

Character 2 says: "Didn't you say that, by September, everyone who got the vax will be dead?"

Character 1: "Yes, AND?"

Character 2: "I've waited for my death for three Septembers."

Character 1: has an angry, upset and silent expression.

It's still not earning you money to spend electricity because you still have to pay the transfer fee which is around 6 cents / kWh but it's pretty damn cheap nevertheless, mostly because of the excess in wind energy.

Last winter because of a mistake it dropped down to negative 50 cents / kWh for few hours, averaging negative 20 cents for the entire day. People were literally earning money by spending electricity. Some were running electric heaters outside in the middle of the winter.

Adam Britton, a leading zoologist who has worked on BBC and National Geographic productions, pleaded guilty to 56 charges relating to bestiality and animal cruelty.

He also admitted to four counts of accessing child abuse material.

The Northern Territory (NT) Supreme Court heard the 53-year-old filmed himself torturing the animals until almost all died, and then shared the videos online under pseudonyms.

His abuse went unnoticed for years, until a clue was found in one of his videos. Britton was arrested in April 2022 after a search of his rural Darwin property, which also uncovered child abuse material on his laptop.

Climate change is real. We all know that. But, Jordan Peterson does not. Today, let's go through the science and see if we can convince him.

If you don't want to be hated, don't murder whales. It's very easy, literally most people do it.

The mass of fascism is the working class traitors. The petite bourgeoisie and those who pretend and desire to become that. Of course, they're going to get shafted later, by the rich fascists.

Plastering agricultural land with parking lots and suburban sprawl is a crime against humanity. This wasteful land use needs to end.

Thanks to social media, youth unemployment, an uptick in asylum seekers, ballooning energy prices and oodles of nationalist right-wing cash, Macron is no longer the only politician with the regal ability to play Jupiter on TV. There are now a record 4,005 candidates running in the first round, with many fabled divinities to choose from.

There's your problem. Defund the rich.
