You may wish to check on benefits of fresh garlic vs. jarred pre-minced.

Sulfur compounds are pretty robust, but I vaguely recall some loss of potency.

I mean.. what if we needed government during the month of August?

And also, what is the Legislative was at all functional?

And also, also - what if they weren't actively trying to destroy us?

TW: Police Violence

Repost from Democracy Now

Jacksonville, Florida's Sheriff T.K. Waters said Monday that none of the officers involved in the violent arrest and beating of 22-year-old Black motorist William Anthony McNeil Jr. will face criminal charges.

The beating occurred on February 19 after Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office deputies pulled McNeil over for driving without his headlights on — even though it was daytime and not raining.

I wear a reusable respirator that I coordinate with my outfits and sleep in a disposable respirator to control my allergies. I am the hardest of hardcore.

“Oh, I wear a mask sometimes if a place is too crowded during the holidays.”

We are not the same.

Must read. “…Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people. Having grown up in a Zionist home, lived the first half of my life in Israel, served in the I.D.F. as a soldier & officer & spent most of my career researching and writing on war crimes & the Holocaust, this was a painful conclusion to reach, & one that I resisted as long as I could. But I have been teaching classes on genocide for a quarter of a century. I can recognize one when I see one.” #Gift https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/15/opinion/israel-gaza-holocaust-genocide-palestinians.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Wk8.ldNx.u22niYiE5lW1&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
