아무리 생각해도 내가 지금처럼 전업주부로 있는게 아들의 행복만 생각하면 맞다. 경제적으로도 전혀 곤궁하지 않으며 오히려 커리어를 가졌을 때 보다 살림살이는 더 나아졌다(감사합니다 아내느님 고맙다 마이퀀트). 그럼에도 불구하고 다시 일을 하게 되는 이유는 무엇일까.
여전히 나를 찾아주는 곳에 대한 예의와 감사도 있겠지만 아마 가장 큰 이유는 나의 알량한 공명심 때문이겠지. 서로 인정하는 우수한 동료들과 합을 맞춰 무언가를 일궈내는 그 희열은 어린날 맡았던 바다내음의 기억처럼 가끔씩 머리를 스치고 가곤 한다.
그렇다. 무슨 보상이 있는 것도 아닌데 트위터에서 끊임없이 떠들듯 나는 닫힌계가 아닌 열린계에서 외부세계와의 작용을 통해 자기효능감을 느끼고 고양되는 인간인 것이었다. 그리 어렵지도 않은, 나 말고는 내 주변 모두가 알고있던 내 본질을 1년 간의 육아를 거쳐 비로소 받아드리게 되었다.
@YWhisky11 @Chamyeoninso @rtl_play @Faar_Son 2018년 패턴에서 북한은 자신의 협상 대상이 오직 미국 뿐임을 확실시했고, 2022년 이후로 북한은 이제 남한이 아닌 미국과 일본의 위협을 제거하려 합니다.(왜냐하면 남한은 영토완정의 대상이므로) 테이블에 우리가 참여할 기회가 점점 줄어듭니다... drastic measure만이 선택지가 되어갑니다 😪
@YWhisky11 @Chamyeoninso @rtl_play @Faar_Son 아이러니하게도, 정말로 위기가 이번에 트리거된다면 우리는 이재명에게서 박정희같은 도박 수를 이행할 담력이 있었는지에 따라 운명이 결정될 겁니다. 아마도 그는 초대 남한-권위주의-수프림 리더가 되어야 할지도 모르죠. 허나 안타깝게도 그에겐 애초에 뭔가를 결정할 용기가 없을 겁니다.
So many people incorrectly pretend as if Europeans invented conquest and imperialism. That’s the most Eurocentric view I’ve ever heard.
Conquest and exploitation is part of GLOBAL HUMAN history!
Here are 28 Examples of non-European empires 🧵🧵

Those who naively and incorrectly act like Europe is the only place or group of cultures that made empires and sought to conquer and exploit others are just factually wrong.
The rest of the world has their own very interesting history as well, maybe go learn about it!

Let’s keep going though, plenty of prolific non-European conquerors to go! Many of these groups raided, destroyed, and enslaved people.
But many who hate the West just don’t know or care about that.

🧵The Alliance for Global Justice (AFGJ) is under fire after being linked to funding Antifa-aligned groups.
AFGJ hit back, insisting they don’t fund other organizations and claim they were “deplatformed” after payment processors, pressured by right-wing activists, blocked their ability to receive online donations, which they call their lifeline for fundraising.
But here’s what AFGJ isn’t telling you…

@DataRepublican
AFGJ says it “does not fund any organization other than our own.”
Yet its two most recent Form-990s show grants/assistance paid to others:
- $565,232 (FY ending 3/31/2023)
-$442,187 (FY ending 3/31/2024).
Schedule details for FY2024 name outside recipients, for example:
🔹 East Bay Sanctuary Covenant: $53,558
🔹 Community Initiatives: $30,000
🔹 The People’s Forum: $26,894 (Neville Singham’s organization)
Bottom line: by its own filings, money flows beyond “our own.”

AFGJ’s fiscal-sponsorship (FSP) model provides the infrastructure that lets aligned projects raise and move money:
🔹 Hosted donation pages and back-office processing
🔹 Ability to receive foundation grants through AFGJ
🔹 Payroll and benefits for project staff
🔹 An admin fee of ~8% on donations
Even if you don’t call it “grant-making,” this setup routes funds through AFGJ to third parties—functionally, that’s funding.

STOP focusing on cholesterol for heart disease.
Your doctor doesn't realize it's only a small part of the process of developing heart disease.
Here's a DEEP dive into how heart disease develops, what to do about it, & why focusing solely on cholesterol is a path to an early death:

Here's a DEEP dive into how heart disease develops, what to do about it, & why focusing solely on cholesterol is a path to an early death:
Let me start off by saying cholesterol IS important to the process of plaque buildup in the arteries (atherosclerosis).
HOWEVER, it is a disservice and likely harmful to focus solely on it, for a few reasons.
First being, about half of people who get heart attacks don't even have high cholesterol.

Multiple studies have shown that high cholesterol (LDL <100 mg/dL) reduces the risk of death.
It even is protective against dying from heart disease!
The goal is to not just be protected from heart disease, but other diseases / causes of death too.

1/ NEW: trans identification is in free fall among the young

2/ Non-conforming sexual identity (queer, questioning, etc) is also in sharp decline.
Gay and lesbian are stable while heterosexuality has rebounded by around 10 points since 2023.

3/ Not only this, but freshmen in 2024-25 were less trans and queer than seniors whereas it was the reverse when BTQ+ identity was surging in 2022-23.
This suggests that gender/sexual non-conformity will continue to fall.

Verschrikkelijk schandalig interview van #Eva Jinek met @chris_stoffer over abortus. En wat hij hield zich netjes. Laten we eens op een rijtje zetten wat er allemaal misgaat in dit gesprek. 🧵
Het gaat over deze campagne: 'Dus Abortus'. Te zien zijn billboards met daarop teksten als: Gebrek aan woonruime, dus abortus? Het gezin is compleet, dus abortus? sgp.nl/actueel/nieuws…
Het gesprek begint over de motieven van de SGP. Dat zou de campagne zijn en de daling in de peilingen wordt gegrapt. Volgens Chris Stoffer gaat het over de stijging in de abortuscijfers, naar 40.000 per jaar. Dit is correct en dus relevant om te bespreken. nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/04…

Iedereen is tegen abortus, maar binnen deze roerende eensgezindheid zijn sommige mensen, als ze dan toch moeten kiezen, voor een medisch begeleide, veilige abortus.

Anderen zijn voor een d-h-z abortus waarbij de vrouw maar even moet kijken of ze het overleeft of niet. Want dit zijn de feiten: waar abortus verboden wordt, vinden niet minder abortussen plaats, alleen sterven er veel meer vrouwen doordat ze een onveilige abortus uitvoeren.
De film Dirty Dancing (1987) ging hier al over, mensen! Maar de mens is hardleers.
Waarschijnlijk heeft Chris Stoffer (SGP) Dirty Dancing nooit gezien (want dansen is van de duivel), en dat is toch jammer.

You nailed it. I infiltrated CISPES in the 1980s and collected intelligence that the Salvadoran army captured from the FMLN guerrillas.
CISPES operated as the US auxiliary to the FMLN, what the Vietcong early called its "third current of revolution." Its chief founder was Alexandra "Sandy" Pollack of the Communist Party USA, who worked with Farid Handal, whom you mention below.
CISPES was to the FMLN as many of the American "Palestine" networks are to Hamas.
CISPES operated as the US wing of the World Front in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador, a Soviet international front organization based in Mexico City.
Pollack later died in a plane crash in Cuba.

With the news that Trump freed the hostages and brokered an Israel/Hamas ceasefire, I thought it would be a good time to check in on the folks who compared the president to Hitler over the last few years, for reasons that I hope are obvious to you.

You may think the “Trump is literally Hitler” phrase is just a silly joke.
But for years, media outlets and left-wing voices on the internet have insisted that, no, really, Trump is just like Hitler.
Few have done so with as much gusto as @CNN.

Why are leading institutions so biased against fossil fuels?
Because their operating “anti-impact framework” causes them to view fossil fuels, which are inherently high impact, as intrinsically immoral and inevitably self-destructive.

An Anti-Human Moral Goal and Standard
Our knowledge system’s opposition to fossil fuels while ignoring their enormous benefits can only be explained by it operating on an anti-human moral goal and standard of evaluation that regards benefits to human life as morally unimportant.

Outside the realm of energy, an example of an anti-human moral goal at work is the scientists who, operating on the anti-human moral goal of animal equality, oppose animal testing for medical research and disregard its life-saving benefits to humans.
