My dystopian novel was meant to be a cautionary tale—I didn't expect it to be prophetic. After the fall of democracy, an American family is thrust into the heart of a modern resistance movement. A powerful tale about standing up to tyranny. Amazon: amazon.com/Resistance-Devin-…

What kind of propaganda made @jonstewart such an ignorant ass in regards to the ongoing dangers of Covid?

En 1983, Michael Jackson ordenó destruir los negativos de "Thriller" cuando el videoclip ya estaba terminado. Era testigo de Jehová. Según su abogado, su congregación consideraba que el video promovía la demonología y le advirtió que podía ser expulsado si lo estrenaba. Michael se tomaba muy en serio su religión. Incluso salía a predicar disfrazado para evitar que lo reconocieran. La advertencia lo angustió tanto que llamó a su abogado, John Branca, y le ordenó destruir los negativos. Después de meses de trabajo y una inversión de cientos de miles de dólares, estaba dispuesto a renunciar al proyecto. Pero Branca y el equipo evitaron que las cintas fueran destruidas y las guardaron bajo llave. Entonces, Branca tuvo una idea: le contó que Bela Lugosi, el famoso intérprete de Drácula, era profundamente religioso y que sus películas incluían advertencias aclarando que no promovían el ocultismo. Había un detalle: Branca se lo había inventado. Michael creyó en aquella explicación y aceptó incluir al comienzo del videoclip una advertencia: "Debido a mis firmes convicciones personales, deseo recalcar que esta película de ningún modo apoya la creencia en el ocultismo". La solución funcionó. "Thriller" se presentó en Los Ángeles en noviembre de 1983 y llegó a MTV el 2 de diciembre. El videoclip que Michael Jackson estuvo a punto de destruir terminó convirtiéndose en uno de los más influyentes de la historia de la música. Y aquella advertencia que todavía aparece al comienzo es el recuerdo de una decisión que casi impidió su estreno.

The Christian right hates Halloween not because it's pagan but because it involves handing out free food.

Three days left. Which means there is about to be a national emergency due to a caravan of vaccinated pigeons flying through Mexico aided by Antifa windmills and led by Obama in drag and the Muslim brotherhood of trans commies.

China figured out how to run a data center without touching your water supply. Ours just drink 30 million gallons and pay zero fines.
China put a data center under the sea powered by offshore wind and cooled by the ocean. It uses no fresh water. Almost no one is talking about it.

Alex Pretti had a gun holstered on his person. He pointed it at no one. He shot no one. He killed no one. Kyle Rittenhouse openly carried an assault rifle in his arms. He shot three people. He killed two of them. Alex is dead. Kyle got a book deal and a media tour. The Second Amendment applies to everyone.
