Quote

This is the position in which parents find themselves in their relationship with teachers’ unions.

 

Parents don't have a relationship with teachers' unions.  Teachers do.  The implication, of any kind, that teachers' unions represent parents' interests at all is the second-biggest problem with how the teachers' unions are viewed.

 

(The biggest problem is the implication that teachers' unions represent teachers' interests.  &#%$ing parasites.)

Maybe make a new post?

After reading that... seems to me what happened to comedy is going to happen in Hollywood. People too afraid to open their mouths at the risk of offending someone. Someone in that article said that what is happening is leading to more money? For some reason, I doubt it. While 2020 and 2021 were tough for movies, I will be interested to see how this "woke" impacts box office going forward.

sounds just like one's immune system

it doesn't need no stinkin jab to fight  off a virus!

just don't compromise your immune system to the point it doesn't function by depriving it of key ingredients body 

 

 

https://slate.com/technology/2022/01/skincare-science-cleansing-dermatology-truth.html

 

 

The notion that skin care products are largely unnecessary isn’t new. “Commercials tell us to remove the oil from our skin with soap, and then to moisturize with lotion,” wrote physician and public health expert James Hamblin in a 2016 article for the Atlantic on how he quit showering “Evolutionarily, why would we be so disgusting that we need constant cleaning? And constant moisturizing and/or de-oiling?”

 

“[S]kin has withstood millions of years of evolution without the aid of tinctures and balms,” agreed Krithika Varagur in a 2018 piece for the Outline, arguing that pummeling your face with ingredients is “violence” and “perfect skin” is unattainable anyway.

 

Even dermatologists concur. “Most skin-care products are kind of a scam,” said Jules Lipoff, an assistant professor of dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, in a 2019 article for the Philadelphia Inquirer. “The beauty industry plays upon our insecurities, superstitions, and our tendency to enjoy the complicated.”

Despite what marketing campaigns may say, your routine need not involve multiple bottles of various actives—or even a single fancy cleanser. You can count on your own body to produce most of what your skin needs by itself.

I has to click this WTF story didn't I? But I do like the summary.... 

 

Quote

In other words, a bunch of woke nerds discovered the survival instinct and natural selection. Their findings include examples of "species that share resources such as territory, tools, and shelter between generations." For instance, baby red grouse who aren't abandoned by their fathers "are more likely to succeed in establishing their own territories." Baby squirrels whose mothers hoard food for winter "are much more likely to survive until the spring." No shit.

key scientists are about to push the lab leak explanation with 70-80% certainty

$50 million later from Fauci,  they are publishing papers pushing the wet market crap 

 

 

https://www.theepochtimes.com/scientists-who-were-instrumental-to-covid-19-natural-origins-narrative-received-over-50-million-in-niaid-funding-in-2020-2021_4220769.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=ZeroHedge

 

Scientists Who Were Instrumental to COVID-19 ‘Natural Origins’ Narrative Received Over $50 Million in NIAID Funding in 2020-2021

While it is not known at this point whether there was a connection between the increased funding and the scientists’ involvement in shaping the public natural origins narrative, these new revelations raise an obvious question: How is it that among the thousands of scientists eligible to participate in the much-desired funding from the eleven grants provided by Fauci’s new $82 million CREID initiative, three of those chosen happened to be the same individuals who had led the way in promoting Fauci’s natural origins narrative—despite their private concerns that the virus had been created in a lab.

During the Feb. 1, 2020, teleconference, Andersen claimed to be “60 to 70 percent sure the virus came from a laboratory.” One of Andersen’s Proximal Origin co-authors, Edward Holmes, put that figure even higher, at “80 percent.”

Garry, who told the senior members of Fauci’s teleconference group that he “really can’t think of a plausible natural scenario where you get from the bat virus” to SARS-CoV-2, received $7 million in NIAID grants in 2020 as compared to $5.7 million in 2019. Garry also received $6.6 million in grants in 2021. The new CREID grant (co-awarded with Andersen) accounted for approximately $1.9 million of his 2020 grant proceeds and $1.8 million of his grant proceeds in 2021.

 

Notably, Garry recently admitted in written correspondence with The Intercept that he had been advised not to discuss a lab leak in the Proximal Origin paper, stating, “The major feedback we got from the Feb 1 teleconference was: 1. Don’t try to write a paper at all—it’s unnecessary or 2. If you do write it, don’t mention a lab origin as that will just add fuel to the conspiracists.”

 

Garry—along with Andersen—must have heeded that directive because on Feb. 1, 2020, the same day as Fauci’s teleconference, both men had helped to complete the first draft of Proximal Origin promoting the idea that the virus had originated in nature. That paper became the media’s and the public health establishment’s go-to evidence for a natural origin for the virus.
