From the NGO that told us to eat the bugs and live in the pod while owning nothing, comes the declaration that we should all take cold showers… and like it.
People who have regular cold showers take 29% fewer days off work.
In the hopes of encouraging a more civil, and illuminating, discourse, here is another episode of William F. Buckley, Jr.’s “Firing Line”.
There is more to being a legislator, even in the Senate, than telling your base that you will fight for the, and many attempts to actually “fight” tend to be more of a “flailing” around. This is especially true for actual conservative legislators, as is the case with William F. Buckley’s brother, and then-new Senator for the state of New York of the Conservative Party, James Lane Buckley, as this discussion between the two brothers from half-a-century ago.
Another “quick takes” on items where there is too little to say to make a complete article, but is still important enough to comment on.
The focus this time: Killing to stop the dearth of death
First, a little mood music:
Carrying on…
Canada is killing people with an almost Germanefficiency.
“Wanting to meet a growing need, Needham began to offer rooms for rent at his funeral home where MAID procedures could take place.
“Since early 2020, Needham has provided rooms for 23 medically assisted deaths. ‘Family members can be right there with their loved ones,” he said. “I suggest they can make it how they want it, bring some of your favourite music, bring flowers, bring some food or if you like, bring a bottle of wine. This is this person’s last day on Earth. You want to take everything into account and consider as many things as possible.’

“Darcy Harris is a professor of thanatology — the study of death and dying — at King’s University College in London, Ont. She also worked as a hospice nurse earlier in her career. She says the trend makes sense.
“‘Funeral homes are usually very nicely appointed and the staff are service-orientated and are comfortable talking about death,’ she said.”
“Scientists temporarily attached a pig’s kidney to a human body and watched it begin to work, a small step in the decades-long quest to one day use animal organs for life-saving transplants.
“Pigs have been the most recent research focus to address the organ shortage, but among the hurdles: A sugar in pig cells, foreign to the human body, causes immediate organ rejection. The kidney for this experiment came from a gene-edited animal, engineered to eliminate that sugar and avoid an immune system attack.
“Surgeons attached the pig kidney to a pair of large blood vessels outside the body of a deceased recipient so they could observe it for two days. The kidney did what it was supposed to do — filter waste and produce urine — and didn’t trigger rejection.”
Science fictions films that had plots centered around cloning people to harvest their organs have just become completely dated.
Perhaps this will result in fewer executions in Communist China or fewer calls by medical ethicicts to kill people by harvesting organs from their still living bodies?
But the biggest benefit is that we are one step closer to genetically engineering catgirls, and other kemenomimi, for domestic ownership!
They say it isn’t grooming, but if you have to “mind-trick” sixth graders into fighting for the LGBTQ&c. agenda… it’s grooming.
An article on Substack by Abigail Shrier goes into detail of the “recruiting” that goes on, uncovered in leaked documents and audio of the California Teachers Association Conference, with special emphasis of hiding what they are doing from parents.
In this age of inflation and supply chain problems let us eschew politics for at least one day while we enjoy the company of kith & kin, and remember that if Americans in the 18th Century could not only enjoy tasty turkey, but even left overs, as Townsends & Son aptly and tastily demonstrate, we can too.
The People’s Republic of China is firing hypersonic missiles with stunning accuracy. So, what is being taught in Western schools? How to wipe your own butt.
