Schon bemerkenswert, was in Bayern pltzlich geht, wenn es nicht um Maskenaffren korrupter CSU-Politiker oder rechtsextremistische NSU-Mordanschlge geht, wa?
Oder um Aserbaidschan-Korruption.
Oder um "Parteispenden".

Leserbrief zum Komplex ko-Institut und Klimakatastrophe:
Du machst in Deiner Argumentation einen schweren Fehler, wenn Du argumentieren willst, dass Klimaschutz an sich ja etwas gutes sei.Damit berzeugt man viele Leute nicht mehr. Die Klimaschutzgegner haben aus Klimaschutz inzwischen erfolgreich eine Verschwrungstheorie gemacht.
Whrend der Diskussion ber das Heizungsgesetz habe ich den "Fehler" gemacht, mich in die Tiefen des Spiegel Online Forums zu begeben.
Hintergrund ist der, dass ich meinen eigenen Haushalt gerade mit Wrmepumpe (*) und Elektroauto frei von fossiler Primrenergie gemacht habe und somit auf die blichen Zweifel und Argumente gegen Wrmepumpen mit den eigenen (positiven) Erfahrungen antworten kann.
Bei den Diskussionen in der Forumskloake wird einem klar, dass die Gegner der Grnen es geschafft haben, Klimaschutzmanahmen zu reframen als etwas bses.
Die Verschwrungs-Story geht zusammengefasst so:
Klimaschutz ist teuer, deshalb kann sich das nur eine Minderheit von reichen urbanen Avocadotoast-Essern leisten. Diese elitren grnen Gutmenschen sind der Feind. Sie knnen aus ihrer abgehobenen Positionen heraus nicht mehr verstehen, was der Normalbrger erleiden muss.
Klimaschutz ist keine wirtschaftliche Notwendigkeit, sondern nur eine Lifestyle-Entscheidung und ein deutscher Sonderweg. Die Grnen wollen dies unserem Land aufzwingen, whrend andere Lnder, mit denen wir in Konkurrenz stehen, weitgehend nichts fr den Klimaschutz tun und damit besser fahren. Whrend Deutschland seine AKWs abschaltet, bauen sie anderswo Kohlekraftwerke. Warum soll Deutschland sich beim Klimaschutz anstrengen, wenn die anderen eh nichts tun und wir doch eh nur fr wenige Prozent der Klima-Emissionen verantwortlich sind?
Die deutsche Industrie kann sich Klimaschutz nicht leisten und wird Deutschland verlassen. Dies ist von den Grnen so gewollt, weil sie den Kapitalismus verachten und Deutschland deindustrialisieren wollen.
Der normale Brger wird durch Klimaschutz verarmt werden. Die kranke Oma wird wegen des teuren Heizungswechsels aus ihrem vom Mund abgesparten windschiefen Huschen rausgeworfen. Dies ist von den Grnen so gewollt, weil sie privates Eigentum verachten.
Einige gehen dann noch weiter und wittern Great Replacement: Wenn man die Normalbrger ber Klimaschutz verarmt, kann man die leeren Huser mit leichter kontrollierbaren Flchtlingen fllen.
Damit ist Klimaschutz reframed zu: Die Grnen haben sich verschworen, um Deutschlands Wirtschaft in den Rcken zu dolchen und Deutschlands fleiige Mittelschicht zu vertreiben.
Und deshalb sehen die Gegner in Klimaschutz etwas ganz anderes als ein Projekt fr eine bessere Zukunft. Fr sie ist es eine sinistre Verschwrung der Mchtigen gegen sie, die Mehrheit.
So wird aus der Graichen-Affre "Clankriminalitt" - weil die grnen Versch...
Kernfusion: CDU und CSU fordern Bau von zwei Fusionskraftwerken.Ach. ... "IndyWatch Feed Allworld"
Kernfusion: CDU und CSU fordern Bau von zwei Fusionskraftwerken.
Ach. Haben die unseren Podcast gehrt? Bricht da pltzlich Vernunft aus? Nein. Das ist die CDU. Die fordern aus der bequemen Oppositionsposition schon immer alles mgliche, und wenn man sie dann in die Regierung whlt, setzen sie nichts davon um.
Wieso fordern die zwei Kraftwerke? Weil sie sicher gehen wollen, dass das nicht umgesetzt wird. Das ist fr die spieltheoretisch die beste Position. Dinge fordern, die progressiv aussehen, und von denen sie wissen, dass die nicht umgesetzt werden.
Wieso wei ich, dass das hier typische CDU-Pferdepfel sind? Deshalb:
Hier knne die Fusionsenergie zum "Gamechanger" werden, meinen CDU und CSU. Whrend sich die bisherige Fusionsforschung in Deutschland wie im Versuchsreaktor Wendelstein 7-X und international im Projekt ITER auf Verfahren des magnetischen Einschlusses konzentriere, sei auf dem Gebiet der laserinduzierten Trgheitsfusion ein wichtiger Durchbruch erzielt worden. Dabei bezieht sich die Fraktion auf eine Nachricht aus dem Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). Am dortigen Forschungszentrum ist es Ende vorigen Jahres einem Team in einem Laser-Fusionsexperiment gelungen, mehr Energie zu gewinnen, als zuvor hineingesteckt wurde.Das bezieht sich auf die Meldung der National Ignition Facility. In unserer Sendung ab Zeitstempel 1:34:34. Die CDU hat wie blich nichts verstanden. Das ist reine populistische Kackscheie hier.
Leuchtet ja auch ein. Die CDU war ber die Hlfte der Existenz der Bundesrepublik in der Regierung. Denen und der SPD haben wir die beschissene Situation zu verdanken, in der wir gerade sind. Niemandem von denen solltet ihr je wieder auch nur ein Wort trauen.
Schon mal erst Recht nicht der CDU, wenn die CSU gerade landesweit die Klimaaktivisten hausdurchsuchen lsst. Bis auf die AfD gibt es keine Partei, die noch weniger an einer Lsung des Klimaproblems arbeitet.

Shiba Inu Whale Accumulates 261 Billion Shib Tokens In Just Three Days "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"
A top SHIB whale added $1.18 million worth of Shiba Inu within 24 hours. Data from Etherscan.io reveals that this whale ranked as the nineteenth largest SHIB holder accumulating 140 Billion SHIB.
The whale acquired the SHIB tokens in two separate transactions marking its second massive accumulation within 72 hours.
Shiba Inu network and users engaged in massive SHIB burn events in 2023. The burning mechanism aims to reduce excess tokens and boost SHIBs price. However, no notable price increase has occurred since the token burn events.
Nevertheless, the top SHIB whales are accumulating the tokens ahead of the Shibarium launch and a possible price increase for the asset.

BLAZE token has been identified as the largest SHIB burner in recent times on the ecosystem.
A member of Shiba Inus marketing team, LUCIE, shared her thoughts on the proposed mainnet launch of Shibarium in a Tweet.
Shibarium is a Layer-2 (L2) scaling solution created for the Shiba Inu ecosystem. Its launch date is highly speculative, with several dates proposed in the past.
However, LUCIE stated that she guessed the launch date would be in Q3 of 2023, while Shiba Inu founder Shytoshi Kusama projects in July.
The exact launch date remains a mystery and LUCIE believes the Shibarium Mainnet Launch will happen between the second and third quarters of 2023.
Additionally, she believes that Shibas team remains confident about the launch, with multiple teams working on it and exploring Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration.
LUCIE emphasized that the testing process is crucial and security audits are necessary before its launch. She explained further, that if tests go wrong, the Shibarium mainnet release will delay.
Shiba Inu Price OutlookDespite the recent announcements concerning Shibariums launch, SHIB did not record much price fluctuation. It traded at $0.000009967 on May 1, 2023, before moving to $0.00001002 on May 2. However, by May 4, its price dropped to $0.000009896, losing some of its earlier gains.

Jean Baptiste Vranys Wildly Influential Cephalopod Chromolithographs Depict Sea Creatures in Stunning Opalescent Color "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"
In 1851, French pharmacist-turned-naturalist Jean Baptiste Vrany (18001865) published a collection of illustrations that captured the subtle colors and tonal variances of cephalopods. A class of mollusks that includes squid, octopus, cuttlefish, and nautilus, cephalopods have pronounced, often bulbous heads, symmetric bodies, and arms and tentacles known to produce ink. The marine creatures became a source of fascination for Vrany after a research expedition with Franco Andrea Bonelli, a preeminent ornithologist and entomologist, who helped usher in the young naturalists interest in zoology.
Some of Vranys most-recognized contributions to natural history include the chromolithographslithographs with several layers of colorreleased in his book Mollusques Mditeranens: observs, decrits, figurs et chromolithographies daprs le vivant, or Mediterranean molluscs: observed, described, figured and chromolithographs from life. The volume includes 41 illustrations that are rendered in exacting detail and exemplify Vranys unparalleled understanding of color. Subtle shifts from pink to aqua, vivid reds, and vast explorations of opalescen...

Bitcoin Exchange Inflows Mostly Coming From Loss Holders, Weak Hands Exiting? "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"
On-chain data suggests a majority of the Bitcoin exchange inflows are currently coming from investors holding their coins at a loss.
According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Glassnode, the short-term holders are mostly contributing to these loss inflows. The exchange inflow is an indicator that measures the total amount of Bitcoin thats currently flowing into the wallets of centralized exchanges.
Generally, investors deposit to these platforms whenever want to sell, so a large amount of inflows can be a sign that a selloff is going on in the BTC market right now. Low values of the metric, on the other hand, imply holders may not be participating in much selling at the moment, which can be bullish for the price.
In the context of the current discussion, the exchange inflow itself isnt of relevance; a related metric called the exchange inflow volume profit/loss bias is. As this indicators name already suggests, it tells us whether the inflows going to exchanges are coming from profit or loss holders currently.
When this metric has a value greater than 1, it means the majority of the inflow volume contains coins that their holders had been carrying at a profit. Similarly, values under the threshold imply a dominance of the loss volume.
Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin exchange inflow profit/loss bias over the last few years:
As shown in the above graph, the Bitcoin exchange inflow volume profit/loss bias has had a value above 1 for most of the ongoing rallies that started back in January of this year.
This suggests that most of the exchange inflows in this period have come from the profit holders. This naturally makes sense, as any rally generally entices a large number of holders to sell and harvest their gains.
There have been a couple of exceptional instances, however. The first was back in March when the assets price plunged below the $20,000 level. The bias in the market shifted towards loss selling then, implying that some investors who bought around the local top had started capitulating.
A similar pattern has also occurred recently, as the cryptocurrencys price has stumbled below the $27,000 level. Following this plunge, the indicators value has come down to just 0.70.
Further data from Glassnode reveals that the bias of the...

A Pair of Contrasting Prints by Seb Lester Gilds Popular Aphorisms in Elegant Lettering "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"
Lewes-based artist Seb Lester (previously) vacillates between the maximal and minimal in a new pair of aphoristic prints. Die-stamped in gold ink, the calligraphic works are studies of the relationship between medium and message, all filtered through elegantly gilded lettering.
Carpe Diem, the popular Latin maxim to seize the day, is the ornate of the pair and embedded with swords, flowers, and elaborate motifs. Ive drawn from many influences, including Victorian Memorials, Medieval Cathedral Inscriptions, and the work of the finest Writing Masters of the 18th century, Lester says. The letterforms are all highly ornamental and drawn especially for the projectwarm Lombardic Capitals paired with a softened Textura lowercase.
As a counterpart, the other print is more austere, reading Illegitimi Non Carborundum, which roughly translates to dont let the bastards grind you down. Using bespoke Roman Monumental Capitals depicted as if lovingly carved and gilded in marble into a magnificent ancient monument, the mock-Latin phrase is graceful and refined, a contrast to the otherwise audacious message.
Both limited-edition prints are available in Lesters shop, and you can find more of his calligraphy on Instagram.

Utility Groups Warn Supply Chain Crisis Threatens Both The National Security & Economic Outlook "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"
This article was originally published by B.N. Frank at Activist Post under the title Utility Groups, Others Warn Supply Chain Crisis Threatens Both The National Security and Economic Outlook
A growing number of Americans including lawmakers are highly opposed to the Biden administrations relentless support of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) programs. Experts also warn that rushing the energy transition could lead to power outages and other undesirable situations. Heck even proponents/beneficiaries of these programs are voicing concerns about the potential for power outages.
From Utility Dive:
Electric utilities and other stakeholders have asked President Joe Biden to convene an Electrical Steel Summit with manufacturers to address the supply chain crisis.
A shortage of electrical steel is challenging the transition to emissions-free vehicles, delaying power restoration after storms and slowing new home and commercial construction, electric utilities and other groups warned President Biden on Monday.
Electrical steel is used in the manufacturing of transformers, electric vehicle chargers, electric motors, and other equipment.
It is vital that the federal government recognize and support the domestic production of electrical steel to meet the unprecedented demand for electrification and grid modernization and resilience initiatives, the groups said.

Altcoins Across The Sector Are Underbought: Santiment "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"
On-chain data from Santiment suggests that altcoins across the entire cryptocurrency sector may be underbought right now.
According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment, cryptocurrency assets have become underbought as traders are now capitulating following a failed price rebound.
The relevant indicator here is the MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value), which measures the ratio between the market cap and the realized cap of a given cryptocurrency.
Here, the realized cap refers to a capitalization model for BTC where the value of any coin in the circulating supply is assumed to be not the current spot price, but the price at which it was last transacted on the blockchain.
This model aims to calculate a sort of fair value for the asset. As the MVRV compares the market cap (that is, the current price) with the real value of the cryptocurrency, it can provide hints about whether the price is currently overinflated or not.
Santiment has defined an opportunity zone and a danger zone for this indicator. As their names already imply, the asset in question becomes underpriced when the metric is in the former area, while it becomes overpriced in the latter one.
Here is a chart that shows the trend in the divergence of the MVRV from these zones for the various altcoins in the sector:
Whenever the MVRV divergence has a value of 1 or more, the indicator is said to be inside the opportunity zone. Similarly, the danger area occurs below a value of -1.
While these are the two extreme zones, the metric being firmly inside either the positive or the negative zone (but not hitting either of these thresholds), still signals slight underbought or overpriced conditions, respectively.
This means that the chances of bullish rebounds can become greater whenever the indicator enters positive territory. From the chart, its visible that the vast majority of the coins in the digital asset sector are at least inside the positive territory at the moment.
This would imply that these coins may have become underpriced recently. Some of the altcoins are also outright inside the opportunity zone, suggesting that they may be offering low-risk buying opportunities right now.

Tax Attacks Wont Kill Bitcoin: Regulators Must Learn To Accept New Technology "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"
This is an opinion editorial by Conor Chepenik, an organizer for the MassAdoption Bitcoin meetup.
Congressman Brad Sherman's recent tweet attacking Bitcoiners as "tax evaders" is a prime example of how Bitcoin has become a mainstream phenomenon. It's ironic that politicians like Sherman, who have sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution and the presumption of innocence, are so quick to label Bitcoin supporters as criminals without any evidence. Such remarks undermine the fundamental principles of justice and fairness that underpin our legal system.
The fact that politicians like Sherman are attacking Bitcoin serves as a signal to those on the fence that there may be something to this "freedom money" that is constantly under attack by those who are corrupt and compromised by legacy systems. In a way, even those who attack Bitcoin may be unwittingly working for its success and adoption.
And clearly, politicians are expecting Bitcoiners to shoulder some kind of tax burden that they do not impose on anyone else.
Imagine if a politician tried to tax people for using computational power to do math or use English to express their views. They would be ridiculed and mocked because, on top of that being an insane policy, both of these subjects are essential to a functional society.
Instead of imposing arbitrary taxes, the government should focus on creating a regulatory environment that supports innovation and economic growth. Unfortunately, in opposition to that seemingly-obvious edict, the Biden administration has proposed a 30% tax on Bitcoin mining, which is not only unfair, but also hypocritical to the values that make the United States great.
If a market participant has paid for their energy, they should be free to use it as they wish. So, why is Bitcoin mining being targeted when other industries, such as pornography, video games or gambling, also use energy to allow people to indulge in their vices online? Im not vying for a tax on other industries. I firmly believe that if a market participant has paid for their energy they can do whatever they want with it. My intent is to point out that this proposal seems to be a clear example of government overreach and intervention in the private sector.
And it's not just Bitcoin mining that is being targeted. It is the entire Bitcoin network. When new and innovative ideas challenge the status quo, both humans and technology can exhibit resistance or em...

Call for Pattern Testers for a 1907-11 Corset "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"
Its that time again! Scroop Patterns has an exciting new corset pattern ready to test. So, that means I need testers to help make sure its absolutely perfect.
If youd like to apply to be chosen to help test the corset, keep reading to learn more, and how to apply
This corset is based on the transitional corsets sold between 1907 and 1911, as the fashionable silhouette moved from the extreme curves of the early Edwardian era to the straighter silhouette of the 1910s.
It has longer lines, with less abrupt transitions between the waist and hips, than earlier straight-fronted corsets, but retains the curved panels that wrap around the body and triangular bust and hip pieces of Edwardian corsets, rather than the vertical panels typical of later 1910s corsets, like the Scroop Rilla Corset.
Like most 1900s and 1910s corsets, this corset is made from a single layer of strong fabric. Both views feature dramatic swooping front panel seaming which forms an inverted fan shape, bust and hip gussets, and four garter straps....

Father's Day Gift Idea: The Real RFK Jr Trials of a Truth Warrior "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"
Here's a great Father's Day gift
idea. The Real RFK Jr Trials of a Truth
Warrior from Skyhorse Publishing is available NOW for
pre-order. It's already #1 on the Amazon best sellers list.
By Dick Russell
An epic biography filled with drama, conflict, and surmounted challenges.
The Real RFK Jr. is an intimate biographical portrait
examining the controversial activist's journey from anguish and
addiction to becoming the country's leading environmental champion
fighting government corruption, corporate greed, and a captured
media. Written by his longtime colleague Dick Russell, the
biography also exposes the misconceptions and explains the
rationale behind Kennedy's campaign to protect public
health.
Provided exclusive source material, including access to
Kennedys unpublished writings and personal journals, the author
conducted dozens of interviews with him as well as numerous friends
and associates. Russell delves into everything from Kennedys
sometimes death-defying river rafting adventures to his pioneering
legal cases against polluters such as Smithfield Foods and
Monsanto, while founding the worlds largest water protection group.
The Real RFK Jr. also examines Kennedys pursuit of the truth about
the assassinations of his father and uncle, the wrongful murder
conviction of his cousin, and the false narratives around the
COVID-19 pandemic.

Kamikaze Marketing: Why One Corporation After Another Is Falling on Its Woke Sword "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"
A while back, I covered the mysterious CEI scores that seemed to be the root of Budweisers poorly thought-out marketing campaign with transgender TikToker Dylan Mulvaney. Budweiser and its parent company, Anheuser Busch, have since lost more than $15.7 billion dollars in revenue, a number that is almost unfathomable to most of us.
Youd think that this would be a cautionary tale about what the average folks in America want. Youd think this would stop marketing firms in the tracks before making a similar move.
Youd be wrong.
It has people saying, What on earth are they thinking? as it happens again and again. Thats what this article is all about. What theyre thinking. Because go woke, go broke is not actually as clear-cut as we might think. The apparent suicide missions may not be quite as deadly as expected.
The conclusions in this article may not be popular. But when I begin researching to answer a question Ive posed, I have an obligation to share my findings honestly, whether I like those findings or not.
Since that ill-considered partnership, it seems like huge companies are following Anheuser Busch off the exact same cliff in a mission of corporate suicide.

AITA for telling my best friend his GF is disgusting?
I (22f) have been friends with Danny (22m) since high school and he recently moved in with his current gf Lucy (22f).
They had a housewarming party on Friday and Lucy spent most of the night dancing with her own friends who are very like her (excitable extroverted e.g) and dragging Danny away from his conversations with us (his friends) to dance even though hes more like us (introverted not party animals)
Later Danny was being quiet so I asked if he was okay and he said just tired, but he just kept watching Lucy dancing and then said something in her ear the next time she came over and she just shook her head and laughed at him.
After she went back to her friends I asked if it was bothering him how she was behaving and he asked me to explain. I mentioned the attention seeking dancing and the fact she was wearing something really revealing even though other guys were at this party. Danny said it didnt bother him then sat with a moody face.
At the end of the night Lucy sat down with us and started chatting non stop about how amazing the party had been. I pointed out jokingly Danny obviously wasnt enjoying himself since he looked miserable, and Danny told her I was worried he was jealous because of her outfit.
Lucy ruffled his hair (which he h**es) and said he was quiet because he loved her outfit so much he couldnt wait for us all to leave so he could drag her to bed. I thou...

Three journals web domains expired. Then major indexes pointed to hijacked versions "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"
Have you heard about hijacked journals, which take over legitimate publications titles, ISSNs, and other metadata without their permission? We recently launched the Retraction Watch Hijacked Journal Checker, and will be publishing regular posts like this one to tell the stories of some of those cases.
When web domains of legitimate journals expire, fraudulent publishers have an opening to hijack them by registering the expired domains and creating clone websites that mimic the genuine journal.
In 2015, John Bohannon found fraudulent publishers had hijacked the websites of several legitimate journals indexed in Web of Science. The expired domains of GMP Review and Ludus Vitalis, which Web of Science listed as their official homepages, were registered by the fraudulent publishers, who created clone journals offering to publish papers for a fee.
Taking over expired domains remains a successful strategy for fraudulent publishers, because potential authors may use the websites listed in scientometric databases to verify the authenticity of a journal. Recently, three examples have come to light of journals with domains that expired and were hijacked by fake journals.
One of the hijacked titles is the Russian Law Journal. The website of the journal expired at the end of 2022, and a new journal imitating the original was set up by January 2023:

Apocalyptic Art
Day 4 of the 365 Days Art Challenge.
'This is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but a whimper." T.S Eliot
For centuries, artists and creatives alike have depicted the Apocalypse, which is the fantastical, unimaginable end of the world and all life on it. At some point it is going to happen, maybe about 5 million years away when the sun burns out, so perhaps it is this truth that has artists thinking of what this end may look like. Since it will happen, down the track.
Recently it has felt like humanity was in the midst of it with the advent of Covid, but also with the devastation that climate change has been and is inflicting on the land and people globally. It is very easy to start to think of the end, grim as that may sound.
When I had created yesterday's challenge, even though I wasn't happy with the art work, I was very much intrigued by the colours in the background which reminded me of an apocalyptic feel, vibe. So today's challenge I set myself the task of creating an art piece that may illustrate that to some extent.
I have to add that the art works are created very quickly and are rough, but what I am liking is the fact that other ideas are able to be generated from these pieces. Ideas that will develop into more substantiative works.In this case, Apocalyptic Feel, May 26, 2023. Ink on paper.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) Price Slump Leaves Over 1 Million Wallets In The Red Zone "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"
Shiba Inu (SHIB) has experienced a significant price drop, causing a considerable number of investors to find themselves in a precarious position.
With the recent downward trend in SHIBs value, a staggering 1 million addresses now find themselves in the red zone, facing losses in their investment.
In the context of crypto trading, the term red zone often refers to a situation where a digital currency is experiencing a significant decline or negative price movement. It is commonly associated with bearish market conditions or a downtrend.
This turn of events has sparked concern and curiosity among cryptocurrency enthusiasts and market observers alike, as they analyze the factors behind the price decline and its implications for the future of Shiba Inu and its large investor base.
In the midst of a volatile cryptocurrency market, the price of Shiba Inu (SHIB) on CoinGecko currently sits at a meager $0.00000852. Recent data indicates that SHIB experienced a modest 0.4% rally within the past 24 hours, but endured a gradual 2.0% decline over the span of seven days.
According to IntoTheBlock the Break Even Price indicator, the price movement has left a significant impact on SHIB investors. Out of the total SHIB addresses analyzed, approximately 1 million addresses, accounting for 79.74%, find themselves in losses.
On the other hand, 219,880 addresses (17.51%) have either realized gains or are currently in profit. Additionally, 34,600 addresses (2.76%) are at a break-even point, meaning they are neither in losses nor profits.

Back in 1982, the PBS American Playhouse series aired Jonathan Demmes made-for-TV film based on the Kurt Vonnegut story, Who Am I This Time? Now, thanks to the YouTube channel Chicken Soup for the Soul TV, you can watch the rarely-seen film online. The channel writes:
Mix together a small town community theatres shy leading man and the lovely telephone worker who moves into town and you have a perfect recipe for a delightful romantic comedy. Academy Award-winners Susan Sarandon and Christopher Walken star as the couple who discover that affairs of the heart on the stage may be a bit less complicated than continuing the romance off the stage. Director Jonathan Demme, an Academy Award-winner, deftly weaves this endearing tale of love in bloom from Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.s story.
While the video quality is grainy, the movie is still significant for serving as an early career vehicle for Sarandon, Walken and director Demme. This isnt exactly Before They Were Stars after all, by 1982, Walken had already won an Oscar for The Deer Hunter,
Sarandon had already starred in Rocky Horror and been nominated for an Oscar for Atlantic City, and Demme, although still a decade away from his biggest work, had already directed the acclaimed Melvin & Howard.

I lost my keys while on a trip abroad. As the locksmith is installing the new Yales my elderly neighbour calls over the hedge Why didnt you just ask for the spare key?
Ive lived in my house for 4 years and I have just found out that my neighbour, who I have only ever had passing pleasantries with, still has a spare key that the previous owners gave her over 15years ago!
Not only that, but when the new locks were fitted she asked if I was planning to give her a new spare. I said no and that Id be fine with just my parents having one. The response from herWell I wont be able to water your plants when youre away I suppose.
So, it turns out the mad old girl has been letting herself into my house when Im away to water my plants and tidy up without me knowing for 4 bloody years!! She did it for the previous owners and just didnt stop once they moved!
Always change your locks when you move or a pensioner might be coming in and doing your dusting while youre away.

Ticketmaster Hits Charlie Bucket with $98.75 Service Fee for Finding Golden Ticket "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"
WONKAVILLE Lucky golden ticket winner Charlie Bucket, age 9, was surprised to find himself the recipient of a $98.75 bill from Ticketmaster Entertainment, Inc. for service fees, confirmed frustrated bed-ridden sources.
I was so excited to visit Wonkas factory, its been a dream of mine to see such a magical place, said Bucket. But my family couldnt afford the service fee. Golly, I was so looking forward to eating a few delicious Zombobbly Wingers or whatever. I told the customer service representative about our problem and Ticketmaster sent someone to my house and threatened Grandma Josephine. This was supposed to be a fun trip full of whimsy, but its turned into an absolute nightmare before we even got to the front gates.
William Wonka, proprietor of the Wonka Chocolate Factory, says that the scope of the contest necessitated the partnership with Ticketmaster.
I needed to make sure that the tickets were shipped all over the world so that I could teach young children unnecessarily harsh lessons about life and hand my fortune over to one of them. Ticketmaster was the only company with the logistical capacity to do that, said Wonka while concocting a new treat that would turn a child inside out as soon as they ate it. Plus, they gave me an incredible deal on the golden tickets. Im sorry young Charlie will be unable to visit the factory, but what can you do? I guess thats one less unhinged death song the Oompa Loompas will be forced to sing during their lunch break.
Ticketmaster representative Trisha Bartley maintains that the fees are nothing out of the ordinary, and are simply a part of doing business.
We here at Ticketmaster love connecting our customers with the venues and artists they love by placing ourselves directly between them, said Bartley. Our service fees are a sign of our commitment to providing the best possible experience for those who can afford it. We wish the little Bucket boy the best and are saddened he is unable to meet the necessary requirements as set forth in our terms of service located clearly on the reverse of each golden ticket in size 2 font.
At press time, Wonka was seen calling the police on a homeless man with a sign reading I Need Golden Tickets.

Mom Switching Laundry Loads During Band Practice Not Even Here "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"
ADELPHI, Md. Local Mom, Susan Campbell, informed her sons band to keep playing and not to pay her any mind as she is just throwing a load of linens in the dryer and isnt really even here, confirmed sources who feel weird playing in front of her.
I tend to stay out of the boys way when theyre practicing, but the day kind of got away from me and you dont want to leave damp sheets in the washer or they get that weird mildew smell that really sinks in, the dental hygienist and mother of three reported. I told them not to stop on my account and asked them if that was a new song because I didnt think I had heard that one before. They said yes, but seemed kind of cagey. I guess its because they probably just see me as Billys uncool mom or something. I was that age once, I get it.
Bill Campbells bandmates confirmed his moms band practice.
Susan, she said we can call her that, came down and I thought maybe we were too loud or something, but she told us to keep practicing and that we sound rockin, remarked guitarist Jason Hughes. She had on noise-canceling headphones, so she claimed she couldnt really hear us. I was wondering if she was going to stick around and chat, but she just started the dryer and went back upstairs, and told us to have fun. Bill kind of winced when she called him Billy Bear so at least we got something new to needle him about out of it.
It was kind of weird, though. I saw some of her underwear, he added.
Experts note that this sort of interaction is so common its practically cliched.
For kids like Billy, what makes this especially difficult is that his mother is nothing at all the way hes led his bandmates to believe, stated child psychologist Jill Levy. Kids typically exaggerate normal parental behavior as being domineering and unfair, but for punks, its especially important for them to present an unstable homelife for the proverbial cred. As Ms. Campbell is clearly a supportive and positive presence in her sons life, his facade has been destroyed and hes been exposed as a poser who should probably leave town on the first train.
At press time, Mrs. Campbell was calling from the top of the stairs to state they were having lasagna for dinner if his friends wanted to stay.

Steven Spielberg Announces Regret for Editing Guns, Massive Alien Dong Out of E.T. "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"
LOS ANGELES Steven Spielberg recently expressed regret for censoring the 20th anniversary release of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial by editing out the guns and the titular aliens massive, undulating penis, creeped-out sources confirmed.
The film was a product of its era and I should have never removed the officers guns or E.T.s giant, two-pronged cock from this beloved family film, stated Spielberg. It was a simpler time back then, a time when it was okay to show FBI agents with weapons chasing around kids or an alien with a slimy hog that gets covered in dirt, leaves, and Reeses glowed not his finger, which in retrospect is how it should have stayed because it wasnt sexual it was flaccid the entire time and kind of just comically swung around. And of course there werent any balls, aliens dont have balls.
Gen-Xer Leslie McSorley insisted that she remembered originally seeing E.T.s genitalia and wondered if it was due to some strange Mandela Effect.
I swear I recollect seeing it but none of my friends do, said a confused McSorley. I dont understand how this isnt bigger news. Its not like were talking about trivial things like how to spell that shitty Sarah Jessica Parker HBO show, or when the former President of South Africa actually died. Were talking about one of the most iconic movie characters of all time and whether he flashed us his veiny peen or not. How am I supposed to explain this to my young kids? I guess Ill just have to find a copy of the original on eBay if I ever win custody back.
Film critic Sebastian Defarge explained that audiences would be surprised about all the classic movies which have been edited.
Almost all of our favorites have been altered, described Defarge. James Cameron changed the ship in Titanic from a twenty-foot party boat to the famous luxury liner after scholars complained about historical inaccuracies. And Quentin Tarantino replaced a very uncomfortable Pulp Fiction scene where John Travoltas character tries converting Samuel Jackson to Scientology with a light-hearted discussion about fast food. Its interesting he did that but still chose to keep in all those unnecessary N-words for some reason.
At press time, Spielberg announced that the upcoming 15th-anniversary edition of The Adventures of Tintin would restore the films original iconic Golden Shower scene.

Anthropologie, Adidas, Target, and more are using men to advertise womens clothing.
Stores that largely are marketed to women are slowly but surely being corrupted and seduced by the gender-confusion cult. We have covered how chocolate, makeup, and kitchen appliance companies have betrayed women. Now, slowly but surely, clothing companies are turning their backs on women too. Clothing for women has long been used as a way of expression of personality, style, status, and value. More than makeup, clothing is a personal calling card and has been for centuries. Naturally, its next in line for cultural and sexual appropriation, especially if the end goal is total cultural indoctrination. Anthropologie, the higher-end clothing line well-loved for its variety of artistic and trendy clothes, decided to issue an Instagram advertisement in which there is a male model apparently the first black queer member of the Houston ballet who is artfully dancing around and showing off the clothes. Viewers are clearly treated to a zipper that is not fully able to be zipped on the back of the dress. Its almost like men and women have completely different body shapes (gasp).

Iran Executes 3 Protesters for "Enmity Against God" "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"
Three men in Iran accused of killing three members of the countrys security forces were executed by the Islamic Republic on May 19th, sparking massive protests across the country and drawing condemnation from various governments and human rights organizations.
The Tasnim news agency and the website of Irans judiciary confirmed the executions of 30-year-old Majid Kazemi, 36-year-old Saleh Mirhashemi, and 37-year-old Saeed Yaqoubi on the dawn of May 19th at the Dastgerd prison in the city of Isfahan, located in central Iran.

The three men were charged with the crime of enmity against God after being accused of being responsible for the deaths of two members of the Basiji paramilitary force and a law enforcement officer during anti-government protests on November 16, 2022. However, the Iranian government failed to show definitive evidence that would link the three men to the incident.
Their families gathered in front of the Dastgerd prison, worried about the safety of their relatives. Crowds also gathered outside the facility as early as the night of May 18th as news of their imminent execution spread.

42-year-old Said Murekezi is charged with second-degree arson and second-degree burglary of a religious building for burning and breaking into the Oromo American Tawhid Islamic Center. Hes also facing fifth-degree drug possession charges, as authorities found methamphetamine on him when he was arrested.
Found footage allegedly showed Murekezi on the morning of May 17th enter the mosque through a broken window. After ten minutes, he emerged from the buildings east side, and smoke was seen coming from the mosque. Investigators used facial recognition technology to match the found footage to Murekezi.
The arson was the sixth attack against a mosque in Minnesota this year alone. These acts of arson and vandalism prompted Muslim leaders and government officials to call for unity with the Muslim community.

Holy Hijinks: How One Lawmaker's Bible Prank Turned into an Ethics Inquiry! "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"
An Arizona representative, who is also a minister, is under investigation by the states House of Representatives for staging a prank involving the Bible.
State Representative Stephanie Stahl Hamilton, a Democrat and a Presbyterian Minister, is facing an ethics complaint for her playful prank, where camera footage saw her hiding Bibles from her fellow representatives in unusual places, like under the table or inside a refrigerator.
Arizona lawmaker caught stealing Bibles from statehouse's members-only lounge. https://t.co/bPwa3Rt2Hu pic.twitter.com/PqQZpZEAo9
Fox News (@FoxNews) April 26, 2023
The Republican leadership in Arizonas House of Representatives caught wind of Hamiltons stunts, so they installed hidden cameras in the building to catch who was doing the prank. When Hamilton was seen hiding her colleagues Bibles, not everyone in the House was amused with her antics.
In fact, three Republican representatives, Justin Heap, David Marshall, and Lupe Diaz, filed an ethics complaint against Hamilton. They accused her of theft, disorderly conduct under House rules, and creating a hostile work environment, violating state and federal laws that protect workers from religious discrimination.
"We, and other members of the Arizona House who cherish our faith and hold the Bible in reverence, do not see Representative Stahl Hamilton's disrespect of scripture as playful in any regard," the complaint said.
Because the House of Representatives is not a judicial court, an ethics complaint cannot file criminal charges against anyone. However, the inquiry can lead to a vote within the legislature, resulting in Hamiltons censure or expulsion.
"Something of this magnitude that's made national news, I think it's only wise to allow the person that has the claim held against him to come and speak about it," Joseph Chaplik, a Republican state representative who also heads the Houses Ethics Committee, said regarding the prank. "Due process, let them...

MATIC Price Prediction: Polygon Aims Recovery To $1 "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"
MATIC price is recovering from the $0.82 support zone. Polygon might rise further but there is a major barrier forming near the $1.00 zone.
In the past few days, Polygons price saw a steady decline from well above $1.00. MATIC declined below the $0.900 support to move into a bearish zone.

It broke the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.017 swing high to the $0.8206 low. MATIC price is now trading above $0.85 and the 100 simple moving average (4 hours). It is now facing resistance near the $0.90 level.
If there is an upside break above the $0.90 resistance level, the price could continue to recover. The next major resistance is near $0.95 or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.017 swing high to the $0.8206 low.

They Put Meat in a Tofu Dish at a Potluck. Did They Act Like a Jerk? "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"
To me, this sounds like a simple misunderstanding
But you know how worked up people get about what they eat, especially vegetarians.
But thats just my opinion!
Read this persons story and see if you think they acted like an a**hole or did nothing wrong.
Take a look!
AITA for putting meat in a tofu dish?
This happened at a potluck. I brought a dish that was tofu stirfried with minced pork, ginger and spring onions. Similar to mapo tofu but not spicy.
Everything was fine except when someone asked me if my dish was halal, I said no, it has pork. Thats when Jen overheard and freaked out that she ate meat. And it turns out a lot of other vegetarians ate my dish assuming it was vegetarian.
For the rest of the party, Ive had so many people(including non-vegetarians) tell me Im an AH for putting meat in a vegetarian dish. But this is a dish I grew up with, tofu for me is just an ingredient, not strictly a meat substitute. Also, no one asked me if my dish was vegetarian.
So am I the AH here or are people just overreacting?
Check out how folks reacted on Reddit.
This person said they are NTA and these folks never bothered to ask if it was vegetarian.
Do you take before and after pictures with your garden? "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"
I have a confession...
I'm a sucker for "Before and After" pics, but I like to take before
and after pictures of my gardens.
It keeps me motivated when I'm weeding or trying to be patient
while my seedlings and fruit trees to grow.
This is a Bosworth (Kwai Mai Pink) Lychee tree that I planted a few
springs ago. The "Before pic" is from April of 2021 (a year after I
planted it) and the "After" pic is from April of 2022. I will take
another updated picture this upcoming spring.

Ethereum Price Could See Liftoff If ETH Clears This Resistance "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"
Ethereum price started a recovery wave above the $1,780 level against the US Dollar. ETH must clear $1,820 to start a decent increase in the near term.
Ethereums price extended its decline below the $1,800 zone. ETH even declined below the $1,780 level before the bulls appeared near $1,760, similar to Bitcoin.
A low was formed near $1,761 and the price is currently attempting a recovery wave. It is trading above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the key decline from the $1,872 swing high to the $1,761 low. Ether is now trading below $1,820 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
There is also a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $1,818 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The trend line is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the key decline from the $1,872 swing high to the $1,761 low.
Immediate resistance is near the $1,818 zone and the trend line. The first major resistance is near the $1,820 level. A close above the $1,820 resistance could send Ether toward $1,845.

Filters in the Age of Information Overload "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"
This article was originally published here.
One of my colleagues has advanced a compelling theory to explain why a palpable madness seems to be gripping our society and more and more people seem to be going off the rails.
"So much information is available now we are constantly bombarded with, that it has exceeded the processing capacity of the human mind. That is making a lot of people destabilize inside, and as the information glut increases, this problem will continue to worsen."
Recently I wrote an article describing my thought process on navigating controversial topics with a high degree of ambiguity. It specifically focused on how critical it is to avoid getting attached to any specific interpretation you have of what is occurring.
This is both because, due to the ambiguity present, it is challenging to be sure of any interpretation (so becoming attached to a specific one becomes a barrier to seeing the truth) and because it is not healthy for your mind or spirit to covet and treasure some rare idea it has become in possession of. Since this has been a common issue I've observed with the nanotech in vaccines issue, I chose to use it to illustrate the point, but this same thing applies to countless other subjects too.
When I reviewed that article, I realized there was a critical point I forgot to mention how do we, as human beings, effectively deal with an overwhelming volume of information? This issue is a variant of a common issue meditation schools have dealt with throughout history, and they can provide some insights on both the topic at hand and the practice of medicine in general.
Note: Henceforth, I will use the term "subconsciousness." Arguments can also be made that "unconsciousness" is more correct. I thought this over for a while, and I am not ultimately not sure which should be used here.
In many environments you are in, a massive amount of data is present that the conscious mind cannot keep track of. However, to a large extent, the subconsciousness does and directs your focus to what in the environment has "value" for your conscious mind to be aware of.
One classic example is the "Cocktail party effect," where you can be in a room where many people are having conversations that blur together. Still, for some reason, you can immediately zero in on the one conversation where your name was mentioned. Most of you have probably experienced this numerous times, and the same principle holds in many other instances as well.

Testing Shows Substantial Glyphosate in Foods and Population "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"
Editor's Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published October 29, 2017.
As food has become increasingly adulterated, contaminated and genetically engineered, the need for laboratory testing has exponentially grown. John Fagan, president of Health Research Institute Labs (HRI Labs), is an expert in this area. As explained by Fagan, HRI Labs "makes the invisible, visible, giving you the ability to see what is in your food and your environment."
Fagan studied biochemistry and molecular biology at Cornell University, where he also got his Ph.D. After doing research for eight years at the National Institutes of Health, he went into academia and conducted cancer research using genetic engineering as a research tool. This experience is ultimately what raised his concerns about genetic engineering, especially as it pertains to food.
As a result, he created the first lab for GMO testing in the U.S., followed by labs in Europe and Japan. He's also trained laboratories in 17 other countries in GMO testing. "What this did was make GMOs visible. Before that testing was there, nobody could tell whether those soybeans, or that corn was genetically engineered or not," Fagan says. "After GMO testing was available, people had a choice."
HRI Labs tests both micronutrients and toxins the good and the bad. "We feel that the kind of testing we're doing can open a window for you in each of those areas, so you can make better choices about the food you eat, and that you share with your family," he says.
There are several types of tests that can be done on a GMO food. Antigens are one type of test. DNA testing is another. Since DNA is far more stable than proteins, genetically engineered foods, even when highly processed, can be easily identified with DNA testing.
A test commonly used to check DNA is the polymerase chain reaction or PCR test. Because it amplifies the DNA signal, it can detect even a single genetically engineered corn kernel in a bag containing 10,000 or more corn kernels.
The chromatograph linked to a mass spectrometer is another central piece of equipment that HRI uses. It allows you to test for a wide variety of things at very high sensitivity. Unfortunately, the cost and complexity involved prevents many labs from having this tool.
..."Liquid chromatography is capable of taking a sample of food or whatever you're interested in, and fractionating it into hundreds of compounds, separating them out. That is then fed into a mass spectrometer; a machine that measures, ultimately, molecular weight of whatever it's looking at.
Training Strategies for Endurance and Maximum Longevity "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"
In the video above, Siim Land, author of Metabolic Autophagy: Practice Intermittent Fasting and Resistance Training to Build Muscle and Promote Longevity,1 reviews the findings of a new systematic review published in the March-April 2023 issue of Missouri Medicine.
The paper, titled Training Strategies to Optimize Cardiovascular Durability and Life Expectancy,2 reviewed studies published between 2011 and 2022 that assessed the effects of duration and intensity of exercise, and specific types of training or sports on long-term cardiovascular health and life expectancy.
Not surprisingly, a sedentary lifestyle was associated with an elevated risk of cardiovascular problems and shorter lifespans, and physical activity was associated with improved health and longer life. What was somewhat surprising was the type of physical activity that garnered the best results.
The authors concluded that high amounts of strenuous exercise were nowhere nearly as beneficial as moderate exercise, strength training and interactive sports or play. These results again refute the idea that if something is good, more must be better. In the case of exercise and physical activity, moderation is the key to optimal health and longevity.
A key finding here is that the benefits of vigorous high-intensity training plateau at a level much less than moderate exercise, and continuing to push past it doesnt give you any additional benefit, and in fact may likely be counterproductive. On the other hand, the benefits of moderate activity continue to accrue, with no real endpoint.
A key piece of evidence for this was a Harvard School of Public Health study3 described as a landmark, long-term, prospective, cohort study that evaluated the links between leisure-time physical activity duration and intensity with all-cause mortality and cause-specific mortality.
