Vance Once Referred to School Shootings as a 'Fact of Life' — But Context Is Crucial
The Ohio senator and vice presidential candidate made the comment in September 2024 after a 14-year-old student opened fire at a Georgia high school.
Nietzsche Said You're a 'Hero' If You Crush a Cockroach, 'Villain' If You Crush a Butterfly?
Some internet users have attributed the same words to other historical figures, such as the Sufi mystic poet Rumi.

Authentic Images of Hurricane Milton from Space?
As Hurricane Milton approached Florida's Gulf Coast in October 2024, alleged photos and videos of the storm rapidly spread online.
Copernicus Climate Bulletin
September 2024 was 1.54°C above the pre-industrial level globally, the second highest ever recorded (2023 was the highest). Note the graph shows year to date running average not individual months' records, which is a bit confusing.
September kept 2024 on track to be the warmest year on record, with the global average temperature anomaly for January-September 2024 0.71°C above the 1991-2020 average, which is 0.19°C warmer than the same period in 2023.
Church of Satan Founder Anton LaVey's Dying Words Were, 'Oh My, What Have I Done'?

Better Banking
Better Banking is the next step in this year long alphabetical programme to become a more ethical citizen. The bank rundown is UK focused, but I know the main point.
Here in Canada, a few years ago the Canada Broadcasting Corp. did an expose of how banks pressure and bully employees to upsell and mislead customers. That alone should have been enough for everyone to quit dealing with them. They're all bad; and they all fund fossil fuels this being Canada, so there's little to choose. The answer is to go to credit unions.
I have opened an account with a federated (accredited nation-wide, this is a new thing) credit union with online banking, which suits my needs. Still have my old account as Canada doesn't seem to have such a neat way of switching over as described in the post. I'll gradually phase it out as I test out the new one to make sure I can do everything I need to. #ethicalconsumer

He's honestly making her sound very appealing, @**joe braun. If the claim is true, well, Kaliyuga Harris '24 is worth a second look.

Ali the Amalekite
in reply to LPS • • •While I am waiting on an answer to my last inquiry, I want to point out the 15:08 mark of the video. It is quite enlightening because it answers another question, i.e. "why is this happening?".
Why is a larger and larger block of 'Blue' voters rejecting their 'selected' candidate?
Then the host posits an even more interesting question: "Why, when you have the chance to break the two-party system, would you go and rescue Zionism?", similar to Sami Hamdi's plea "What are you so afraid of?".
The conclusion that I come to is that the reason why, the thing that Harris voters are so afraid of, is the potential loss of the prerogative to kill children in the womb. Killing all of the children in Gaza in the near horizon, in the West Bank a little farther out, and someday soon in Lebanon, Syria, etc., etc., is a small price to pay to retain the right to kill one's own child via abortion.
This, I am afraid, is the hidden grammar of this affair. Dark, indeed.
