I can't help but think that Sinéad O'Connor was shit on for decades for barely scratching the surface of this shitduggery when I see headlines like this.
Ireland will have it's own reckoning coming and it will take decades, I saw an interview with the lady that discovered that big grave being excavated and the Church tried to silence her as well when she pushed to make it public knowledge.

Funny that it's 3 guys with Chinese ancestry, one Ukranian (or Russian) and one Indian… Literally what makes America great…
And here are the questions if you are curious…
Ancient Roman statue now vs how it would’ve looked originally when it was fully painted…
Check out how wild the Ancient Greek sculpture was:
I don't think I'm dumb, but for some reason I've never even thought of them as having been painted. I kinda figured they got sculpted and that was it. Seeing them painted looks wrong, lol…
This footage is from six miles under the ocean, and it’s the deepest ecosystem ever discovered…
The deep sea is just another planet hidden on our own. Absolutely astounding what lives down there, and how much we still don't know.

South Africa starts injecting rhino horns with radioactive material to curb poaching…
Great....Radioactive super Rhinos! I can't wait to see videos of poachers getting demolished!
So education sees them as two, but employment doesn’t?
I assume the logic would be 2 brains learning, one body carrying out work.
Or, each institution is doing what is financially beneficial in the scenario…

Thousands of trees felled not by deforestation, but by the shockwave caused by the st helens eruption, a blast so powerful it launched trees into the nearby lake…
By the way, thousands of trees still float on Spirit Lake…
New Ohio bill would create state registry of applicants who skip job interviews…
Will it also penalize employers who ghost applicants?
Meanwhile, Illinois becomes 1st state to require student mental health screenings… My biggest question is what does the state intend to do (or mandate) regarding the results of the screenings?
These islands look like they’re floating…

'Alligator Alcatraz' detainees on hunger strike for 10th day, protesting conditions…
No, the UK’s Online Safety Act doesn’t make children safer online…
Of course it doesn’t, because it was never about making children safer. It’s about authoritarianism, and letting the government track what you view online and to use that information to punish you if you step out of line.
You know a coin is great when its value drops almost 90% in a few months…
