Quantum entanglement is just magik by another name. 🌀✨️ Ghosts of the past find us today. Magik entanglement. The only way out is thru.

This was 💯 a magic spell, or quantum emotive entanglement through Time, take your pick. I think it’s one and the same anymore. Strong geomancy and numerology of sacrifice, as we see repeated through time, to create emotional repeat response and reliving of trauma.

I didn't realize that Paraguay's Pres Santiago Pena refused Bibi's demand to leave the ICC in September. That must be why his corruption was exposed.

In 1805, a young man fell to his death on a mountain in England. When they finally found him, three months later, he wasn’t alone… His name was Charles Gough, a young artist who set off that April to cross Helvellyn, one of the highest mountains in the Lake District, taking his little dog Foxie with him. Somewhere on the way, he fell and died, far from any path or house, and for weeks nobody knew what had happened to him. Then, on 27 July, a shepherd working near the lonely mountain lake of Red Tarn heard a dog barking. When he followed the sound, he found Gough’s body, and beside it, still keeping watch, was Foxie. She had stayed with her master through all those months, alone on the mountain, and she had even given birth to a puppy there, which sadly didn’t survive. The story moved all of England: two of the greatest poets of the day, William Wordsworth and Walter Scott, each wrote a poem about it without knowing the other was doing the same, and Scott wrote these lines as if he were speaking to the dog herself: "How long didst thou think that his silence was slumber? When the wind waved his garment, how oft didst thou start?" More than twenty years later, inspired by Scott’s poem, the young Edwin Landseer painted the scene and called it Attachment. It depicts a dead man lying among the rocks, and a small dog pressing herself against his chest, as if she could still wake him… Foxie didn’t understand death, but she understood love better than most people ever will. She didn’t know her master was gone, she only knew that he was hers, and that she would not leave him. And that is the miracle every dog offers us, whether we deserve it or not: a love that lasts forever and asks for nothing. Wordsworth said it best, and his words are still carved on a memorial stone on the mountain today: "How nourished here through such long time He knows, who gave that love sublime; And gave that strength of feeling, great Above all human estimate!"

The Diwali miracles are neverending! Since India sets the date, they better hope it doesn't land on an LGBTQ+ day. The fur will fly. 🤣
Aside from this being a non-American holiday, there is a practical issue with this. The date of Diwali isn’t fixed, it’s the new-moon day of the Kartik month on the Hindu lunisolar calendar - so it moves every year and is determined by Indian authorities. Ergo, when states have declared it a holiday - they have to next determine when that holiday actually occurs. How they do that is interesting, Pennsylvania sets its Diwali holiday “in accordance with the official day recognized by the Indian government.” Now lawmakers want to make it a federal holiday. That would mean the Indian government’s calendar call decides when: - Federal workers get a paid day off - Regular USPS mail delivery stops - The Federal Reserve pauses ACH and wire transfers - Most bank branches close Virtue signaling through the creation of new federal holidays wouldn’t only have a financial cost, it would result in a foreign government effectively setting the day the US federal government and payment system shut down.

This is what makes the demoralization worse. That's the point, I guess.

Consensus in the comments is: Green beans taste like ass. Put garlic and tons of things to mask the taste. 😂
What can I put in canned green beans to improve their flavor? I hate them, but we're on a budget and have plenty of them.

❤️ Niagara Falls. Highly recommend watching Niagara with Marilyn Monroe & Joseph Cotton before going. Stay in one of the old motor inns, if they aren't casinos by now. Its like a step into the past.
Every night at 10pm, they turn Niagara Falls down by half. This is a real thing, written into a treaty the US and Canada signed in 1950. It says at least 100,000 cubic feet of water per second has to go over the falls from 8am to 10pm during tourist season. After 10pm the number drops to 50,000. From November through March it's 50,000 all day, so anybody visiting this week is seeing the off-season version. The rest of the river gets pulled off before it ever reaches the edge. A control dam upstream has gates that get adjusted on that schedule, and the water goes into giant tunnels under the city that feed two power plants, Sir Adam Beck on the Canadian side and Robert Moses on the New York side. At night about three out of every four gallons in the Niagara River never go over the falls at all. Which left the engineers with an awkward problem. If you cut the water in half and spread it across the same old cliff edge, it looks thin. You'd see bare rock poking through on the sides, and tourists would notice. So in the 1950s they reshaped the Horseshoe Falls itself. They chopped 355 feet off the length of the edge, filled in both ends with rock, dug out parts of the riverbed and steered more of the water toward the middle. Their own planning documents called the goal an "impression of volume." When they tested it on scale models, smaller cuts looked fine at the daytime flow and fell apart at the nighttime one. Some of the land they filled in got turned into viewing areas. Terrapin Point on the American side is one of them, so a lot of people taking their Niagara Falls photo there are standing on what used to be Niagara Falls. Does the water ever actually stop? It did once. In March 1848 a big windstorm shoved Lake Erie ice into the mouth of the river and jammed it shut, and the falls dropped to a trickle for a day and a half or so. One local business went out on the exposed riverbed and blasted out rocks that had been tearing up boats. Since 1964 they've strung an ice boom across the lake outlet every winter so it can't happen again. Abraham Lincoln wrote about the falls later that same year. His line was "never dried, never froze, never slept, never rested." He wrote that about six months after it went dry.

Gotta say, the humiliation rituals for these clowns make me giggle.

So Iran is the same as the US. Great people and shitty, violent, psychopathic rulers. Learn new stuff everyday.
SECRETARY RUBIO: The Iranian people are great people. I have talked about how great Iran is and how great its people are, and how different they are from the small core of violent maniacs who govern them. It is very sick.

How many Texans are going to comply?
🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 Texas Democrats are filing a FLOOD of proposed bills that would TAKE AWAY gun rights for Americans. Here's what's been filed so far: HB 218 (Johnson): would create extreme-risk protective orders, including temporary orders issued without notice. A family or household member or a peace officer could apply if they allege the person has a serious mental illness and poses an immediate danger because of access to firearms. The person would have to turn over their guns within 24 hours; a full order would last up to a year and could be renewed. Possessing a gun in violation would be a Class A misdemeanor. HB 173 (Moody): would make it a state jail felony to transfer a semiautomatic rifle that takes a detachable magazine and is larger than .22 caliber to anyone under 21, with exceptions for peace officers, current or honorably discharged military, and some temporary loans at a range or hunt. HB 576 (Lalani): would bar registered sex offenders from buying a firearm, but only for registration based on an offense committed on or after Sept. 1, 2027. HB 103 (Martinez): would expand the state crime of reckless discharge of a firearm so it also covers counties of 500,000 or more people, not just cities of 100,000 or more. SB 80 (Zaffirini): would prohibit certain transfers, purchases, and possession of assault weapons and would create criminal offenses. HB 606 (Lalani): would prohibit transferring firearms to, or the purchase or possession of firearms by, people under 21, and would create a criminal offense. HB 610 (Lalani): would prohibit transferring firearms to certain recipients under 21. HB 857 (Anchía): would prohibit transferring certain semiautomatic rifles to certain recipients under 21, and would create a criminal offense and increase a penalty. HB 771 (Sethi): would prohibit transferring certain semiautomatic rifles to certain recipients, and would create a criminal offense and increase a penalty. HB 806 (Reynolds): would prohibit transferring semiautomatic rifles to certain recipients and would increase a criminal penalty. HB 613 (Lalani): would require a national instant criminal background check on private firearm transfers and would create a criminal offense. HB 612 (Lalani): would prohibit a sex offender from possessing a firearm. (prob the only reasonable one) HB 609 (Lalani): would increase the criminal penalty for making a firearm accessible to a child. HB 658 (Moody): would change the prosecution and punishment of making a firearm accessible to a child and would increase a criminal penalty. HB 618 (Moody): would restrict transferring firearm magazines to people who are prohibited from possessing the type of firearm the magazine is made for, and would create a criminal offense. HB 659 (Moody): would require licensed firearms dealers to report certain sales or transfers of multiple firearms or magazines to law enforcement, and would create a criminal offense. HB 660 (Moody): would require certain people already prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm to dispose of firearms they own, possess, or control. HB 712 (Gámez): would address a city or county's authority to regulate or prohibit carrying a firearm in certain libraries. HB 776 (Sethi): would address expulsion-related offenses involving possessing, carrying, exhibiting, or using a firearm on or within 1,000 feet of school property. HB 859 (Anchía): would increase the criminal penalty for discharging a firearm in certain municipalities.

Is this real? 😂 AI golems doing job interviews? They need better programs. Dude is a hoot! He would be hysterical at work.

Wut? Since 2020 there have been 743 elections decided by less than 10 votes. So an SOS keeping a box of 250 ballots hidden in her office is no big deal; right? 😂 If voting mattered, they'd fill it full of coof shots.
Maine’s Secretary of State just got busted for election fraud. Authorities found a box of 250 ballots in her office that she or her staff had personally submitted — then pulled from the official count. Fraud at every level. In every state. This time it’s Maine. #ElectionFraud #Maine #ElectionIntegrity
