We must get away from the propaganda and ask why this might be happening, in light of the facts that we do know. These facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States. https://snyder.substack.com/p/why-attack-iran npub185nt2n6kdmpv4899fdsmxtxlmmk32cc645meuflp439de3vxv3psz9d426 Nonya Bidniss Finished #nonfiction #audiobook The Poison Squad by Deborah Blum, which recounts the story of a heroic civil servant, chemist Dr. Harvey Wiley, who began the first testing for harmful food additives and championed the first safe food laws in the U.S. despite heavy opposition by industry and political appointees.

This is real. He is quite completely insane. Trump threatened Canada: "They should be grateful also, but theyāre not. I watched your prime minister yesterday. He wasnāt so grateful. But they should be grateful to us. Canada lives because of the U.S. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements." Talking about NATO and mistaking Iceland for Greenland (he did repeatedly): "They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland has already cost us a lot of money." BTW headlines are already saying "Trump rules out force in taking Greenland" but that is not true. Trump just made a series of implicit unmistakable threats of force. He did the mob boss thing again where he makes a ton of threats but then slides in a line about "I'm not doing that" when the whole speech is about him doing that. The media is such a complicit mess. Trump equated the U.S. with the Nazis: "No nation is in any position to be able to secure Greenland other than the US. We're a great power. Much greater than people even understand. I think they found that out 2 weeks ago in Venezuela. We saw this in World War 2 when Denmark fell to Germany after just 6 hours of fighting." And just a few Republican Congress members could have stopped all of this long ago. Just a handful.

This is shown by publicly available flight tracking websites, and DR has learned this. The operation is very extensive and breaks the framework for what the Armed Forces have tried so far, a source tells DR. According to DR's information, the armament has been underway for several days and is intended to strengthen the military presence in Greenland and enable a possible defense of the kingdom. The Defense Command has declined to comment on DR's information. The activities have previously been described by Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen (V) as an exercise with the character of a permanent presence. #Greenland https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/indland/groenland/stor-operation-i-gang-fly-stroemmer-til-groenland%C2%A0med-europaeiske-soldater npub185nt2n6kdmpv4899fdsmxtxlmmk32cc645meuflp439de3vxv3psz9d426 Nonya Bidniss @nprofileā¦l9z3 Oh, sorry to hear that.

The researchers hypothesized that lithium naturally exists in our bodies as part of a carefully calibrated ecosystem of metal ions. In Alzheimerās disease, amyloid plaques sequester this freely available lithium, preventing it from being used in various neural processes. This process could lead to downstream symptoms of Alzheimerās, like memory loss and cognitive decline. Researchers then identified a compound called lithium orotate that can bolster natural levels of lithium without getting trapped by amyloid plaques. In studies of adult mice engineered to have Alzheimerās-like symptoms, adding a low dose of lithium orotate to their drinking water prevented the development of plaques and completely reversed memory loss in mice. āIt seems to somehow turn back the clock,ā the paperās senior author, Bruce Yankner, told The Boston Globe. Scientists hope that this paper will breathe new life into the search for a cure for Alzheimerās disease and open up new questions about the role of lithium in the brain. ā[Lithium] powers our phones, laptops, and electric vehicles,ā Yankner tells Science. āMy guess is the brain might have utilized this unique electrochemistry before we did.ā #alzheimers #lithium #neuroscience #medicine Paywall https://www.science.org/content/article/could-lithium-stave-alzheimer-s-disease Paywall https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/06/metro/alzheimers-treatment-harvard-lithium-deficiency-plaques/ Paywall https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-02471-4 No paywall https://archive.is/LB5Ps npub185nt2n6kdmpv4899fdsmxtxlmmk32cc645meuflp439de3vxv3psz9d426 Nonya Bidniss Posted on r/facepalm under "We gotta study this guy's brain" https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/114/983/045/671/194/540/original/40746c591dc567ef.jpeg npub185nt2n6kdmpv4899fdsmxtxlmmk32cc645meuflp439de3vxv3psz9d426 Nonya Bidniss @nprofileā¦skc4 Whew, that slaps npub185nt2n6kdmpv4899fdsmxtxlmmk32cc645meuflp439de3vxv3psz9d426 Nonya Bidniss Jessee Bundy of the Creative Counsel Law firm pointed out that lawyers like her had been warning "for over a year" that using ChatGPT for legal purposes could backfire spectacularly.
