Let the bodies pile high. They can apologise forever. Too late. We know.

Look Chicago had a solid underground rave scene with trance and house music and all I'm saying is that there's a decent chance Pope Leo saw Bad Boy Bill live
He said "Amen" straight into the drop
Lmao Pope Leo threw a rave for an archbishop's 75th birthday this is kind of incredible

Kids on ADHD meds couldn't possibly be ending up on other psychiatric meds because it's psychologically damaging to live in a world that not only isn't built for you, but also is actively hostile to you and shames you for being the way you are on a daily basis, right? 🙄

Never forget the same people defending pedophilia have spent years trying to convince the public that drag queens and trans people are a threat to children.
It’s all smoke and mirrors to allow the real predators to roam free.

Why It’s Easier to Rob a Museum Than a Jewelry Store in France
It’s not just the Louvre. Minimal security and the high price of gold have fueled nine heists over the past year.

From the moment the first machine gun rang out over the Western Front, one thing was clear: mankind’s military technology had wildly surpassed its medical capabilities. Bodies were battered, gouged, hacked, and gassed. /1

You’ve probably seen a lot of stuff about James Watson stealing Rosalind Franklin’s DNA research. Read this clear article by two eminent historians of science to understand what *actually* happened 👇
If I see one more stupid Rosalind Franklin take I'm going to lose my mind. Thank god for @matthewcobb.bsky.social and @nccomfort.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure
Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.
