if you want to know "where you're from" here's the problem. we don't really have ancient dna from all over the world, only have modern. it comes back as "10% black sea 80% irish"= you have dna in common with people who live there NOW. no guarantees that's where your ancestors lived 🤷🏽‍♀️ also. africa.

someone sent human dna to dog dna analysis, and the results came back as 23% german shepherd, 45% himalayan blue, 12% pomeranian, 20% croatian bear dog" or some such.

they also ask you for a picture 🙄

🧬🧬🧬🧬again: dna testing your dog is POINTLESS and a scam. they are all the same species; breeds are not a biological classification nor distinct enough genetically.

dna testing yourself for "where you come from" is POINTLESS and stupid and potentially dangerous. spoiler: we're all from africa

I have taken
the freedom of speech
that was in
the Constitution

and which
you were probably
using
for peaceful protest

Forgive me
the courts said they were
so agitating
and so irritating

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

> with kirk some months ago where they tried to pay him & convince him to support israel; and he said no. so now maga is split. the israel split is BIG, partic in the evangelical section, but the hilariousness is this: when you live by the conspiracy theories, you die by the conspiracy theories.

😀 conspiracy hilarity: part of maga now thinks mossad killed kirk and that trump is doing a massive coverup, because kirk was starting to criticizing israel, and trump is in bibi's pocket (true dat). his wife goes way back with trump (true) and israel and apparently, there was an intervention >

The recipient of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize will be announced by the Norwegian Nobel Committee on Friday October 10. US president Donald Trump has repeatedly touted his suitability to become a Nobel laureate, including claiming that he has “stopped seven wars.”

Greta Thunberg annoys the right because she's a reminder that it's possible to stay true to your moral principles even when it's inconvenient, and they fucking hate that
