If you want to give something back to nature, give your body

Balenciaga would be so proud.
James Cameron compares testosterone to a toxin

“A lot of things I did earlier, I wouldn’t do — career-wise and just risks that you take as a wild, testosterone-poisoned young man,” Cameron says in an interview. “I always think of [testosterone] as a toxin that you have to slowly work out of your system.”

In the early days of his career Cameron has directed such masterpieces, as 'The Terminator', 'Aliens', 'Titanic'.

His recent interview raises a fair question: how woke the new 'Avatar: The way of water' film is going to be?
Hungary refuses to push for inclusive language on gender at the UN Biodiversity Conference

Ambassadors of the EU member states tried to push for gender inclusive language during a meeting at the UN Biodiversity talks (COP15) in Montreal. They specifically supported references to "all genders" and "women and girls in all their diversity".

However, the Hungarian representative refused to support the initiative, describing it as unacceptable. A Hungarian government spokesperson said the country "recognizes and promotes equality between men and women in accordance with its laws. That means gender and biological sex have the same legal meaning".
'American Girl' doll brand promotes transgender ideology

Mattel - the owner of the 'American Girl' - receives backlash after publishing a book titled "A Smart Girl's Guide: Body Image", which promotes gender ideology. The Guide includes advice on how to change one's gender.

"If you haven't gone through puberty yet, the doctor might offer medicine to delay your body's changes, giving you more time to think about your gender identity."

The book is aimed at girls ages 3-12.
Climate activists protest against cheap air travel in Munich and Berlin

The Last Generation activists tried gluing themselves to the tarmac at Munich and Berlin airports, in a protest against the environmental impact of air travel. Despite all the efforts, they only caused short delays at Munich airport. Air traffic at Berlin airport was not disrupted.

It seems like such protests have become completely useless.
❗️TWITTER FILES: PART 1❗️

Matt Taibbi has been the first journalist to release Twitter's internal documents, the so-called 'Twitter files'.

Presumably, they were provided to him by Elon Musk, who had earlier promised to disclose data about how Twitter violated freedom of speech.

The main points of the investigation are:

🔹By 2020 requests to delete tweets have become commonplace

🔹In 2020 both the Democratic Party and Republicans used the blocking option, but this system depended heavily on connections. Since the vast majority of Twitter staff supports Democrats, they inclined more to file complaints against 'the right'

🔹To cover the Hunter Biden laptop story Twitter marked compromising material as 'unsafe' and blocked the links to articles (a tool previously resorted to in extreme cases only, such as child pornography)

🔹White House ex-press secretary Kayleigh McEnany was denied access to her account for tweeting a link to the New York Post piece about Hunter's laptop

🔹Democrats demanded even "more moderation" from Twitter, arguing that the First Amendment (the right to free speech) is "not an absolute".

❗️TWITTER FILES: PART 2❗️

On December 8th Bari Weiss released a twitter thread on how Twitter practiced 'shadow banning' and 'blacklisting' of certain tweets and users, before Elon Musk's takeover.

So-called 'Twitter files' are assessments of internal documents of the company, carried out by a group of journalists.

Weiss shared screenshots from Twitter's internal censorship tools, which prove what many have been already suspecting.

Several teams of Twitter employees have been working on:

▪️building blacklists
▪️preventing certain tweets or accounts from trending
▪️limiting visibility of certain accounts or even trending topic

The team has routinely put different accounts under 'Trends Blacklist', 'Search Blacklist', 'Do Not Amplify' tags and performed 'VF' - visibility filtering - without user's knowledge.

The special 'SIP-PES' (Site Integrity Policy, Policy Escalation Support) group has worked on high profile and politically sensitive cases.

One of the accounts that fell under the SIP-PES supervision is Libs of TikTok (1.6 M followers). The account has a 'Do Not Take Action on User Without Consulting With SIP-PES' mark.

The list of accounts that suffered from Twitter's shadow banning practices include:
- Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a COVID lockdowns opponent
- Dan Bongino, Fox News host
- Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist, Turning Point USA founder.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Democrats and 'the left' have long refused to acknowledge Twitter's meddling in politics, culture, and health issues, and regarded it as another 'conspiracy theory'. And now 'Twitter files' reveal, that the company has created a platform, that has been restricting and pushing back conservative ideas.

So much for freedom of speech.

Well that tweet aged like milk 😐
Another scandal surrounding Biden's Official Sam Brinton

An arrest warrant has been issued for controversial Biden administration official Sam Brinton. Allegedly, Brinton has stolen luggage at Las Vegas airport. The luggage is valued at around $2325.

Last month, he has already been accused of stealing luggage at Minneapolis airport.

Brinton is a nuclear engineer, working at the Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy. He is also a gender fluid 'pup handler' LGBTQ-activist. Last week Brinton hosted a 'Spanking seminar' at Kink Conference.

I wonder which merit earned him the position at the White House

P.S. the non-binary Biden official claims to have "spanked over 2,000 cute butts" within the depths of a Washington DC "dungeon"

I'm afraid no one's butt is safe these days 😟
Well, at least it seems like not a single non-binary employee was fired 😅(or any other gender out of 100+ genders)
The internet disputes whether the White House should have exchanged Paul Whelan instead of Brittney Griner

▪️"I'm happy that Brittney is going home today and that Trevor went home when he did. But I don't understand why I'm still here. My bags are packed, I'm ready to go home, I just need an airplane to come and get me" - Paul Whelan, former U.S. marine

Karine Jean-Pierre has actually answered Whelan's question on why he isn't coming home.

▪️"Brittney is more than an athlete, more than an Olympian, she is an important role model and inspiration to millions of Americans, particularly the LGBTQI+ Americans and women of color" - Karine Jean-Pierre.

The country is not interested in you these days unless you are a member of at least a few minorities. The more 'diverse' the better, the more 'oppressed' the better.
If you don't like/agree with something - it's misinformation

OK, bye
