The president is waging war against America's cities, but Boston will not be silent. We stand together against tyranny and injustice just like we have for 250 years. #NoKings

“Beyond Vaccine” is the new name for homeopathic water treatment
Trump: "It's too much liquid. Too many different things are going into that baby at too big a number. The size of this thing when you look at it. It's like 80 different vaccines and beyond vaccines."

It’s not rocket surgery folks. It’s acoustics. One of those fields that everyone thinks they know a lot about. But don’t really. Even practitioners and academics don’t know every aspect. It’s hugely fragmented

I think it’s pretty much common sense but I keep seeing these issues and getting calls about it.
Please don’t build a yoga studio or spa or something that has quiet spaces next to a sports bar or pet groomer. You’re just asking for trouble with noise

The right doesn’t care about the hypocrisy. But it still makes sense to repeat it again and again for those in the middle and for those on the left.
Do not become like them. Be better. Be… best?

Think about it from the point of view of his you’d like to be helped if you were in that situation. Support without judgement. Many people run into poor circumstances all the time. And even if it was in their control, we can’t always make good choices. We are human. We make mistakes.
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
It costs a lot less to house people.

Go for it. Get all the parents to question every single child for gender. And may as well verify the coaches and teachers. Stall the games. Make the process onerous.
May as well go on to verify the parents are actually the parents and gendered appropriately too

“There is no comparable requirement for boys to confirm their gender,” said another parent. “Once again, the onus is placed on girls to be monitored and regulated, reinforcing the idea that female athletes are the ones who need to be verified.” edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

Second only to “When was Obama president?”
“When was Joe Biden president?” remains the most difficult question in politics
Who was the president in 2018 when you lost your show?
Who was the president in 2023 when you got your new show?

Exactly. Hypocrites the lot of them.
They scream “it’s free speech” when they spew the lies and hate. But when you want to say something it’s labelled “hate speech “
