Midnight Meme Of The Day!

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 21 hours ago
*by Noah* I posted a meme with a similar theme about 5 weeks ago but the theme is worth hammering home since Trump and his depraved cult-like followers are still adhering to their beliefs in the same forms of unconstitutional behavior and obstruction of justice. Not only that but Trump has his whole subversive party marching along in lockstep with him. Stadiums full of people booing his very existence is a righteous thing and I would love to see more and more of it right along with impeachment, removal, and life imprisonment. The whole nation should take a knee whether Trump shows... more »

Changes in high-altitude winds over the South Pacific produce long-term effects

Hifast at Climate Collections - 21 hours ago
Originally posted on Tallbloke's Talkshop: ‘Long-term’ here means really long-term. The 21k year precession period quoted looks like that of the perihelion. In the past million years, the high-altitude winds of the southern westerly wind belt, which spans nearly half the globe, didn’t behave as uniformly over the Southern Pacific as previously assumed. Instead,…

Brazilian Federal Court Rules Against Farmers, in Favor of Monsanto in $7.7 Billion GMO Seed Lawsuit

Nick Meyer at AltHealthWorks.com - 21 hours ago
The Monsanto Company is now a part of Bayer, the German pharmaceutical giant, pesticide manufacturer and producer of GMO seeds. But despite the official end of Monsanto having taken place in 2018 following Bayer’s purchase, the company, once voted “The Most Evil in the World,” is still making headlines for many of the same controversial reasons. This time around, the controversy has a familiar feeling, as farmers in Brazil recently ran afoul of one of the company’s most intimidating historical divisions: its patent infringement arm, which has long threatened to sue any farmer who ... more »

And we deem her empty and unprofitable, but only when the soul goes wandering in desolate places, and the heart is drunken with over-mindfulness of self. Life is deep and high and distant; and though only your vast vision can reach even her feet, yet she is near; and though only the breath of your breath reaches her heart, the shadow of your shadow crosses her face, and the echo of your faintest cry becomes a spring and an autumn in her breast.

German Finance Minister Pumps for EU-Wide Deposit “Reinsurance” But Expected Details Mean Lots of Gaps Likely

Yves Smith at naked capitalism - 22 hours ago
The lead story in the Financial Times tonight is that Germany’s finance minister Olaf Scholz is pushing for an EU-wide deposit scheme…of sorts. Even though Scholz’s plan appears to be more modest than the headlines indicate, even a halting move towards EU-level fiscal commitments would be a significant departure from Germany’s traditional stance of barring […]

Why Joe Biden Was Denied Communion at a Church

Bruce T. Morrill at The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Bruce T. Morrill* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] Biden’s support for legalized abortion contradicts the unity between “God, each other and the church.” Former Vice President Joseph Biden, who is a Roman Catholic, recently stopped on the campaign trail to attend Sunday Mass at a church in Florence, South Carolina. But the pastor, Robert Morey, refused to give him communion. Morey said Biden’s support for legalized abortion contradicts the unity between “God, each other and the church.” As a Catholic theologian, I focus much of my research on the history and current relati... more »

Ken Loach’s New Film on the Gig Economy Should Shock Us All

Robert MacDonald at The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Robert MacDonald* *economy, Americas* [image: Reuters] Long-term unemployment is no longer a serious social policy problem, but standard, full time, long-term employment is also much less common. Ken Loach’s film, Sorry We Missed You, tells the harrowing tale of Ricky, Abby and their family’s attempts to get by in a precarious world of low paid jobs and the so-called “gig economy”. But how realistic is it? Can Loach’s film be accused of undue pessimism? After all, UK government ministers have applauded the gig economy and the freedom and flexibility of being an “everyday entrep... more »

Glock 17 vs. Sig Sauer P226: Which Gun Is Truly Better?

Kyle Mizokami at The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * We compare. *Key point: *It's more up to personal taste. The Glock 17 and Sig Sauer P226 are two of the most popular handguns on the American firearms market. Both found success in the military and law enforcement markets because they are known as practical, reliable handguns that pack serious firepower. Although similar from the outside, the two have considerable differences on the inside.

Raising the Minimum Wage in Restaurants Could Be a Win for Everyone

*Nicole Hallett* *economy, Americas* [image: Reuters] Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez advocates for a $15 minimum wage in addition to tips in New York.

*"How to Become Less Uptight in Two Minutes" * by David Cain "The classic advice for public speaking nerves is to picture the crowd in their underwear. I wonder if the person who invented that ever tried it. I find it immediately increases the tension of a speaking situation. It makes you more aware of what’s at stake - the possibility of embarrassment, for the audience too. What does work is to picture the room around you as it was at 4 am. Empty and silent. Nobody there to need any particular thing to happen, or not happen. This simple thought makes it clear that the room itself ... more »
