trumps gold phone (proudly american) is a htc u24 pro

You know, they say. And they all say, “Crooked Xi has stolen the design” because he ONLY steals from THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, the USA, made GREAT AGAIN by me, Donald J TRUMP. And they say, “he stole the design to mock us”, and he did, but look at his phone. It’s NOT GOLDEN, which everybody knows. Every expert can tell you, you know, if it’s not GOLDEN then it’s not as good as the TRUMP MOBILE. Gold actually makes it faster, like our ships in the STRAIT OF HORMUZ. You know, the ships that will TERMINATE IRAN and lower Oil Prices so that the TRUMP PHONE becomes CHEAPER. Thank you for your attention to This Matter, DONALD J. TRUMP

New York Comptroller’s Trip to Israel Raised Ethical Concerns, State Commission Said

A New York state oversight board raised ethics concerns about a trip by state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli to Israel that a local pro-Israel Jewish group sponsored. The revelation comes amid renewed scrutiny of DiNapoli’s spending spree on Israel Bonds, a financial instrument that directly funds the state of Israel. DiNapoli, the administrator of New York pension funds, is facing his first primary fight in 18 years as comptroller, and the branded, non-tradeable assets have become an issue in the race. The trip was paid for by the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York, which has a financial relationship to Israel Bonds, the organization that issues Israeli government debt securities in the U.S.

Trump’s Latest Proposal to End the With Iran Marks a Major Retreat for the United States

After threatening on Thursday, June 11, to launch more destructive strikes against Iran, seize Kharg Island, and confiscate Iranian oil, Donald Trump once again suspended his colonial ultimatum that evening, before announcing that a memorandum was on the verge of being approved by Iran. According to Axios, clauses include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz without tolls, sanctions relief, and a 60-day ceasefire on all fronts, paving the way for a new round of nuclear negotiations. According to the Iranian media outlet Mehr, it also includes the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iran’s immediate periphery, the lifting of the blockade, the unfreezing of certain assets, and the end of all sanctions against its oil and petrochemical exports. While Trump announced that the agreement would likely be signed in Europe in the coming days, Iranian leaders have yet to confirm his statements. Regardless of the outcome of the negotiations, the terms of the memorandum represent a diplomatic manifestation of the United States’ strategic failure in Iran: a return to the pre-war status quo, which began on February 28, would be accompanied by the lifting of some of the sanctions that have crippled the country for 47 years. In recent weeks, the neoconservative camp has railed against such an agreement, which could grant Iran new room for maneuver in the region, particularly at the expense of Israel. Trump’s announcement comes after a week of high tension. The anxiety of U.S. imperialism is palpable, and several narratives are beginning to emerge regarding the negotiations. For Hassan Ahmadian, a professor at the University of Tehran: The initial Iranian terms — previously agreed upon in principle — had left Trump no room to claim a clear victory. So, after that preliminary agreement, he backtracked, sending his own amendments back to Tehran through mediators. But Iran did not respond. Instead, it left him in a state of wait-and-see for days, while signaling its readiness to resume the war — by striking Israel first and the ‘incident’ in Hormuz second….In response, Trump attempted military pressure…Yet Iran answered on both nights of escalation…At that point, he seems to have lost any hope of forcing Tehran into acceptance. The announcement of an agreement actually constitutes the announcement of a retreat — a return to what had already been agreed upon previously. For other analysts, Trump’s maneuvers were less about securing more favorable terms than about creating the illusion of a U.S victory over the regime, achieved through a new series of strikes, thus offering Trump a way out of his strategic impasse. This, at any rate, was the line of communication adopted by the White House throughout yesterday evening after the suspension of Trump’s latest ultimatum: speaking to reporters, Trump declared it a “very solid memorandum” and that there had “really been regime change,” with the new Iranian leaders, in his view, being more “reasonable.” This rhetorical posturing comes at a time when the United States has failed to achieve any of its strategic objectives, and this agreement acknowledges Iran’s new position of strength. Symptomatically, the tone of the Israeli statement reveals Israel’s unease with the text: Although Israel is not a party to the memorandum of understanding, the Prime Minister expressed his appreciation for President Trump’s commitment that the final agreement resulting from the negotiations will include the removal of enriched nuclear material, the dismantling of enrichment infrastructure, limits on missile production, and an end to Iran’s support for its terrorist proxies in the region. Using a certain degree of doublespeak, the statement reaffirms Israel’s maximalist demands, which are not contained in the text. It simultaneously distances itself from the text without directly confronting Trump. Indeed, an agreement with Iran would represent a slap in the face for Netanyahu, especially as Iran attempts to impose a new “strategic equation” and no longer hesitates to interpose itself between Israel and Lebanon, which has been under attack. While it remains to be seen how long the Iranian bourgeoisie will follow this line, it is a clear sign that Israel’s room for maneuver is now more limited, particularly in Lebanon, where Israel has failed to achieve its strategic objectives despite the extreme violence of its genocidal methods. Meanwhile, the relationship between the United States and Israel continues to deteriorate. While Netanyahu has jeopardized the negotiations by crossing the red line established by Washington and Tehran and bombing Beirut last Sunday, Trump merely called for calm after the Iranian response. On Wednesday, J.D. Vance spoke about the relationship between the United States and Israel, noting that “sometimes we have interests that are perfectly aligned and sometimes we have interests that are misaligned.” Netanyahu “aggressively asserts the interests of his country. Sometimes that means we’re on the same page, and sometimes we’re not,” Vance explained. The situation remains open in any case, as Iranian negotiators have not responded to Trump’s announcements, and Tehran might be tempted to wait even longer in order to gain more, as Hamidreza Azizi points out: Apart from the horizontal structure of decision-making in the Islamic Republic post-Ali Khamenei, which requires time for consensus-building, another consideration is how to frame any agreement in a way that would be acceptable to the hardline constituency. On the other hand, Trump himself, faced with the contradictions revealed by the U.S. failure, already seems to want to revisit certain points of the agreement, accusing Iran of having published terms different from his own. In a message on Truth Social this Friday, Trump indicated that “the terms that Iran leaked… have absolutely NOTHING to do with the terms that were agreed to, in writing.…What they said, including their weak and pathetic statement on having a deal, bears no relation to the truth. They are a very dishonorable people to deal with.” A potential last-minute reversal, in an attempt to find another way out that would allow him to conceal his failure, is therefore not impossible, given that Trump has no viable option for ending the war. And even if the agreement were signed, this new round of 60-day negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program — which excludes the missile issue and support for Tehran’s various allies in the region, which Trump had placed at the heart of his war aims — demonstrates both the retreat of the United States and the possibility that it could end like the previous rounds: that is, with a resumption of hostilities. While Washington seems to have resigned itself to backing down on some demands in the face of the war’s strategic failure, there’s no guarantee that Israel won’t try to disrupt these high-stakes negotiations to avoid a major setback. Already, Israel launched airstrikes against the Palestinian people in Gaza on Thursday night, threatening to reignite a high-intensity genocidal war, seemingly to avenge its defeat against Iran and Lebanon. In any case, while the effects of the U.S. defeat are already being felt and Washington is trying to restore its credibility by threatening to invade Cuba and increasing pressure on Bolivia, where the pro-Trump government of Rodrigo Paz is facing a powerful workers’ and popular rebellion, there is more urgency than ever to build a mass anti-imperialist movement that calls for the defeat of the United States and Israel in Iran and throughout the region, completely independent from the Iranian regime and the leaderships allied with it, and that fights for the end of the genocide of the Palestinian people.

'Abolish ICE,' Summer Lee Says After Haitian Immigrant Daphy Michel's Death Ruled a Homicide

Congresswoman Summer Lee renewed her call to abolish US Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Friday after the Allegheny County Office of the Medical Examiner ruled the death of Daphy Michel, a Haitian immigrant who died after being released from ICE custody, a homicide. “Michel died on March 2, four days after departing the Washington County Correctional Facility, where she spent six months awaiting a preliminary hearing on misdemeanor charges of terroristic threats and harassment, which were ultimately dismissed,” Pittsburgh’s Public Source reported in April. “She was turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which fitted her with an ankle bracelet and released her under the agency’s Alternatives to Detention Program.” The 31-year-old Charleroi resident then “spent around 24 hours across the last two days of her life in sub-freezing weather in a bus shelter on the South Shore,” according to the the outlet, which cited visual records released by Pittsburgh Regional Transit. The medical examiner’s office said in a Friday statement that she died of hypothermia, and “the opinion of the forensic pathologist in this case is that Ms. Michel was a vulnerable adult, suffering from untreated severe mental health issues, and a significant language barrier when she was released from federal custody.” “Based on all available information during the investigation, the pathologist ruled Ms. Michel’s death a homicide,” the office said. The finding means “the death was caused by the actions of another individual,” but is “not to be interpreted as a declaration of criminal guilt.” Emma Federkeil, a spokesperson for Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr., told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that the office hasn’t yet seen a copy of the report and opinion. “As such,” she Federkeil, “we must obtain a copy of the official report and opinion and any and all records relied on by the report, in order to determine the basis for the finding of homicide as the manner of death which requires a finding the death occurred ‘at the hand of another.’” “As we gather the necessary investigation documentation and reports,” she added, “we cannot comment further.” ICE is part of the US Department of Homeland Security. In response to the newspaper’s request for comment, DHS acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis reiterated the text of a March statement and added that “all illegal aliens who are processed have access to phones to call family, friends, and attorneys.” Regardless of any criminal charges, Joseph Murphy, an attorney who has represented Michel’s family since her death, told Public Source that he expects a civil lawsuit in the weeks ahead. Lee (D-Pa.), who has joined other progressives in calling for an end to ICE throughout President Donald Trump’s deadly crackdowns on immigrants across the United States, stressed in a Friday statement that “Daphy Michel was a human being. She happened to be born on the other side of a border, but she was no less worthy of care, safety, and dignity. That should not have been a death sentence. Daphy’s death was preventable and is the result of a violent system that cages people, surveils them, abandons them, dehumanizes them in life, and smears them in death to escape accountability.” “She deserved care, shelter, language access, and medical support. ICE and every agency that failed her must answer for this,” Lee continued. “And now, as more people die in and around ICE custody, their answer is not transparency, accountability, or care, but to stop reporting the deaths of recently released detainees altogether. We may never know how many more stories like Daphy’s have been hidden by a system built to disappear people. Rather than pour billions more into the agency that murdered her, we must abolish ICE and build systems rooted in equity and basic human dignity.” Daphy Michel was a human being who happened to be born on the other side of a border. That did not mean she was any less worthy of care, safety, and dignity. Her death was preventable. We must abolish ICE.www.publicsource.org/haitian-immi… [image or embed] — Rep. Summer Lee (@repsummerlee.bsky.social) June 12, 2026 at 5:49 PM As Trump has pursued his mass deportation agenda since returning to office last year, at least dozens of people have died in ICE custody or shortly after being released. Earlier this month, ICE announced that it was rescinding a 2021 Biden administration policy requiring a report to Congress and an investigation any time a detainee died within 30 days of their release. Following that announcement, the Republican-controlled Congress sent a bill with nearly $70 billion in new DHS funding to Trump’s desk. The legislation, which the president signed on Wednesday, includes $38 billion for ICE and $26 billion for US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). “House Republicans handed ICE and CBP billions more while families struggle to afford rent, groceries, childcare, and healthcare,” Lee said on social media after the chamber’s vote. “Congress shouldn’t be writing blank checks for cruelty while everyday people are being crushed by rising costs.” From Common Dreams via This RSS Feed.

The corporate lobbyists behind new defence secretary Dan Jarvis

New defence secretary Dan Jarvis has previously received around half a million pounds in donations from corporate lobbyists. So, as mainstream media outlets say the Labour right-winger “once looked like the future” and “is a fine choice“, let’s look into the dark money that’s been fuelling his political career. Jarvis and his local Labour Party in Barnsley have done such an awful job at countering Tory damage to the town in recent decades that it turned to Reform in the 2026 local elections. And when you look at where Jarvis’s funds come from, you can understand why the people of Barnsley might not exactly be his top political priority. 1 — Labour Together millionaires One major source of donations to Jarvis has been key Labour Together donor Martin Taylor. Taylor runs a hedge fund that invests in private healthcare. Fellow Labour Together donor and proud pro-Israel lobbyist Trevor Chinn also gave thousands of pounds to Jarvis. It seems likely that such support was at least in part because Jarvis was a parliamentary supporter of Labour Friends of Israel who even received money from the lobby group. Labour Together was a prominent vehicle for undermining Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour Party and forcing vacuous corporate lackey Keir Starmer onto the country. Other beneficiaries of money from Labour Together or its donors have included high-profile cronies such as Yvette Cooper, Wes Streeting, David Lammy, Shabana Mahmood, and Rachel Reeves. 2 — The “multimillionaire recruitment tycoon” with interests in private healthcare EveryDoctor explains that “multimillionaire recruitment tycoon Peter Hearn“: made his fortune through recruitment firms PSD and Odgers Berndtson Odgers Group Limited, where he resigned as a director in 2025, has offered: headhunting services to the NHS as well as the private healthcare sector. The firm has faced criticism for some of the senior executives it has helped recruit to the NHS. Former TalkTalk executive Dido Harding was headhunted by Odgers Berndtson to lead the NHS Test and Trace programme during the pandemic, which was later deemed to be ineffective by MPs. A fellow director at Odgers was Tory peer Virginia Bottomley. While Hearn clearly has a massive soft spot for Labour right-wingers Wes Streeting and Yvette Cooper, Dan Jarvis has been the other key recipient of Hearn’s money. They’ve all received money from Hearn’s OPD Group and MPM Connect Ltd. Labour campaign group Momentum once called MPM “dark money“, and Sky reported that: The company has no staff or website and is registered at an office in Hertfordshire where the secretary says she has never heard of them. EveryDoctor says Hearn’s OPD Group also “provides services to the NHS“. With Dan Jarvis, the lobby’s grip on government continues In 2016, Blairite strategist John McTernan said Jarvis: so clearly wants to be Leader of the Labour Party. Many on the right of the party mentioned his name “as a potential challenger to Jeremy Corbyn” early into Corbyn’s time as leader, with some of them even seeing him as “the party’s greatest hope“. Jarvis also reportedly had links to Blue Labour, whose whole argument is basically that Labour should be ‘more conservative‘. Jarvis has largely remained quiet in the last ten years, just accumulating corporate money and doing little of note for people in his constituency. But his move into the role of defence secretary may be a sign that his star on the Labour right is rising yet again. Considering that lobbyists’ empty vessel Keir Starmer has pushed Labour far to the right as leader, it’s unsurprising that Dan Jarvis fits neatly into the project. The question now is, exactly how much will Jarvis’s deep links to the corporate lobby influence Ministry of Defence policy at a time of already increasing military spending?

Day 695 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

Today’s game is Jedi Fallen Order. I finished Twilight Princess yesterday and after being left with that, the sword play reminded me this went unplayed. I struggle with souls likes, but I really like this game so I’ve dedicated myself to beating the story. I want to try and 100% it but I’m not going to promise myself that as I know I might struggle with it. The progress I made was significantly hampered by the photo mode. Now that I’ve had proper training in using a camera I put some of that to use and took some pictures. It was fun. I think I prefer working with video games more than real life stuff just because it’s easier and also there’s some unique sights to see. I made it as far as the large ship before turning it off. I think I’m going to lower the difficulty down to story. I wanted to challenge myself but I think I’m struggling too much. We’ll see more tomorrow though

'Trillionaires Shouldn't Exist': Obscene Musk Milestone Spurs Calls for Aggressive Wealth Tax

Elon Musk’s net worth surged past $1 trillion on Friday as SpaceX—the rocket company he founded and controls—made its debut on the public market, prompting global revulsion and calls for an aggressive wealth tax to rein in out-of-control inequality. “Musk became the world’s first trillionaire because our tax system shields the wealth of the ultra-wealthy from taxation while requiring working to people pay taxes on every paycheck," said Igor Volsky, director of the Tax the Greedy Billionaires Campaign. “Today’s milestone should serve as a wake-up call to us all.” “Unless we plan to cede control and agency over our future to a handful of ultra-wealthy individuals, lawmakers must pursue bold tax policies that actually meet this moment—not just slowing the accumulation of extreme wealth, but reversing it,” Volsky added. "That means passing taxes on billionaire wealth ambitious enough to make the ultra-wealthy less wealthy, reduce the stranglehold they have over our economy and democracy, and restore the ideal that no one in America gets to buy their way to unchecked power.” Reuters reported Friday that “most of Musk’s wealth now rests with SpaceX, where ⁠he holds a stake worth roughly $866 billion.” “Along with Tesla and the rest of his properties, his net worth will exceed $1.1 trillion when the stock begins trading Friday,” Reuters noted. “The tally includes stock components that would vest over time.” While Musk’s on-paper fortune could drop below the trillion-dollar mark if SpaceX’s stock price drops below $135 per share—which is highly possible, as experts argue the company’s valuation is absurd—campaigners said Friday that the milestone is an appalling product of a society that has allowed the mega-rich to dictate policy, funneling immense wealth to the very top while millions worldwide face hunger, violent displacement, and preventable disease. Oxfam has estimated that just a 10% tax on Musk’s fortune could lift 800 million people above the extreme poverty line. “Eighty-six of Americans are worried about the price of food. Elon Musk is a trillionaire. These two things are deeply, inherently connected," said Erica Payne, founder and president of the advocacy group Patriotic Millionaires. “The level of wealth that Mr. Musk has reached requires human exploitation, wage theft, wage suppression, anti-competitive markets, monopolistic control, price collusion, inadequate tax systems, and corruption. Mostly inadequate tax systems and corruption.” Musk’s companies, including SpaceX, have relied heavily on and benefited massively from government contracts, subsidies, and research, while paying minimal taxes. The New York Times reported last year that SpaceX “has most likely paid little to no federal income taxes since its founding in 2002 and has privately told investors that it may never have to pay any, according to internal company documents.” As for Tesla, the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy found earlier this year that the company “avoided almost all federal income tax on over $12 billion of US income over the past three years.” Musk, whose immense wealth is largely stock appreciation that is not taxed in the US unless shares are sold, paid nothing in federal income taxes in 2018, according to ProPublica. “Between 2014 and 2018, he had a true tax rate of 3.27%,” the investigative outlet noted. Writer Elizabeth Spiers argued Friday that “trillionaires shouldn’t exist,” noting in a column for The Nation that “as Musk’s wealth multiplies, he continues to prosper on the public dime.” “Musk’s cosmic-scale wealth-hoarding is particularly abhorrent when you place it against the backdrop of how much damage he’s done,” wrote Spiers. “It’s hard to quantify the scale of destruction and deprivation that he will never personally be held accountable for. How do you value the lives of the hundreds of thousands of people who have died since Musk, in his words, gleefully ‘fed [USAID] into the woodchipper’? How do you value the lives of people who will die because DOGE cut major biomedical research funding?” “Musk has enriched himself via a rigged investment economy ensuring that those with the most contribute the least—or in many cases, nothing at all,” Spiers added.

Upset ‘Tommeh’ gives Canary’s print edition free advertising

The Canary upsets all the right people. Particularly, it seems, in print. The far-right hate peddler known as ‘Tommy Robinson’ has got a bit upset at being called out on a Canary front page for his part in inciting white-supremacist violence in Belfast. And in his annoyance, he gave the Canary some accidental free advertising: He doesn’t have a leg to stand on about the ‘smear’, legally speaking. Truth is an absolute defence and libel requires damage to reputation, while his — and no doubt his income — depends on his supporters seeing him inciting. And even in the UK’s corrupt justice system, there’s no way to say evil like this isn’t inciting: The whole of the United Kingdom is hitting the streets tonight at 7pm following yet another invader attack on our people. It’s time pic.twitter.com/tscckc9ceK — Tommy Robinson (@TRobinsonNewEra) June 9, 2026 And the Canary is not the only outlet to point out that he was not just inciting, but coordinating, the Belfast white hate riots. Like the i: And even far-right ‘msm’ rags have taken him down before, just as brutally: They are far right shithouses. pic.twitter.com/mmrQMALuCy — Andrew (@AndrewEgan89975) June 13, 2026 Of course, Tommeh’s mates might not be too impressed that he was (again) sucking up to foreign billionaires while he was doing it. But then again, they might not care. Only certain kinds of foreigners are despised, perhaps. Tommy Robinson — “Cry harder” And his post didn’t exactly generate much sympathy. Lots of responses encouraged him to get even more upset: Cry harder! You only have yourself to blame! — Duncan Still Socialist tired of LIES & Anger (@BRUMSTOKIE) June 12, 2026 Others focused on the truth of the headline and the article: You mean… the truth?? — Ren (@RenLaz17) June 12, 2026 And quite a few added the ‘patriot’s liking for foreign climes (and cash): You do have ten names though don’t you, protecting British values but changes his name and moves to Spain.

Are movie theaters in the US terrible?

Like most answers about the US, it depends on a lot, we’re a big place. As someone who is at the movies 3-4 times a month I’ll say the biggest factors that contribute are When you’re seeing the movie How new/popular the screening is What movie you’re seeing The chain you’re at I typically go during the week after work and generally wait a bit to see new releases and I usually have a couple other people with me in the theater and they’re usually chill. If you go opening weekend to a new movie in a crowded theater then I’d say you can pretty reliably count on a few people making quietish comments and a few people checking their/phones a few times. I also find if you tell people to shut up or put their phones away they usually listen. I’ll also say if you’re going to see the new prestige A24 drama expect less interruptions than say The Super Mario Galaxy movie or The Minecraft Movie

Why We Are Carnivores - MD Anthony Chaffee [Lecture]

the evidence behind why humans are carnivorous beings. I address this from a Biological, Anatomical, Evolutionary, Anthropological, and Metabolic/Biochemical point of view for an overall picture behind why our optimal way of eating is fatty meat, in absence of everything else, including salad. I hope you enjoy it! ::: spoiler summerizer Thesis and definitions Carnivore status is defined by the diet that gives an animal optimal nutrition, not by survival on small amounts of plants. Humans need nutrients found in meat, while no plant or fungal food is necessary when meat is eaten exclusively. RDAs come from mixed-diet conditions, so nutrient needs can change when the diet is exclusively meat. Chronic disease comes from species-inappropriate food: too many plants, not enough animal protein and fat. Biological and anatomical evidence Zoo animals, dogs, and cats get obesity, diabetes, cancer, autoimmune disease, and arthritis when fed foods unlike their wild diets. Human teeth, jaws, brains, stomach acidity, fat-digestion organs, appendix, and colon all point toward animal-based adaptation. Human stomach pH sits near scavenging carnivores, which fits meat with high bacterial load and meat preserved without refrigeration. Five organs work together to digest and absorb fat, which makes animal fat central to human nutrition. Humans cannot break down fiber like herbivores; the appendix is a vestigial cecum, not a fermentation chamber. Fiber, bowel disease, and IBD Fiber is waste material, blocks nutrient absorption, irritates the gut lining, increases mucus and inflammation, and overworks the colon. Diverticulosis tracks with higher fiber intake and more bowel movements, while constipation, fat, and meat do not track with it. Surgeons use low-residue diets after bowel injury because bowel rest helps recovery. Red-meat-and-water diets, elemental diets, and carbohydrate restriction fit the same bowel-rest model for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Salisbury, Voegtlin, elemental-diet trials, and fasting-mimicking-diet work support removal of irritating plant material from IBD patients. Evolution, tools, and isotope evidence Humans split from other primates, ate more meat, became taller, grew bigger brains, reduced teeth and jaws, and developed tools and tactics. Early pound stones and later worked tools were used to open skulls, access brains, kill animals, and dismember carcasses. Ice-age conditions pushed surviving ancestors toward animal nutrition because plants and plant-eating animals disappeared under ice sheets. Stable isotope work places early humans, Homo sapiens, and Neanderthals high on the food chain, often above other predators. The Tel Aviv work by Miki Ben-Dor puts humans as hypercarnivorous apex predators across at least 2 million years. Agriculture, skulls, teeth, height, and brain size Ancient Egyptian isotope work and mummy pathology fit a grain-heavy agricultural population with atherosclerosis and visible poor health. After agriculture, skulls, jaws, teeth, height, and brain size worsened because nutrition shifted away from animal foods. Crooked teeth and small jaws come from inadequate nutrition and oral development conditions, not rapid evolution. Pre-agricultural people had wider jaws, straight teeth, wisdom teeth, taller bodies, and larger brains. Brain size rose with meat and fat intake, then dropped when agriculture and plant foods became widespread. Carnivorous human populations Native American buffalo hunters used mass kills, drying, and pemmican to feed communities for long periods. Tall Native American groups, Mongol horse cultures, Inuit groups, Maasai, and Australian Aboriginal hunters are used as human carnivore examples. Mongol armies relied on horse meat, blood, and milk products, traveled without frequent meals, and built a vast land empire without grain agriculture. Inuit accounts include meat eating even during seasonal thaws, with little interest in sour berries. Maasai and Australian Aboriginal groups are tall, lean, muscular, and healthy before Western foods displaced animal foods. Herodotus’ Ethiopian account and Salisbury’s Native American account are used as examples of meat-eating populations linked with long active lives. Metabolic model Fasted metabolism is the normal metabolic mode, and carbohydrate eating interrupts it through insulin. Insulin blocks lipolysis, proteolysis, ketone production, and leptin signaling, so the brain receives a false starvation signal. Carbohydrate-containing diets lower daily energy expenditure by about 300 kilocalories compared with the same calories without carbohydrates. Glucose and fructose damage tissues through glycation, and chronic high blood sugar drives diabetic damage. Ketogenic diets have long been used for diabetes by removing sugar, carbohydrate, and alcohol inputs. Cancer and mitochondrial metabolism Warburg’s cancer model centers on damaged mitochondria, impaired oxidative phosphorylation, glucose dependence, fermentation, and lactate production. Seyfried’s metabolic cancer model builds on Warburg and links cancer control to mitochondrial function and glucose restriction. Ketosis reduces glucose availability to cancer cells and improves mitochondrial respiration, abundance, and resilience in non-cancer cells. Paleomedicina and Cedars-Sinai are used as examples of clinical interest in ketogenic or carnivore-style metabolic therapy for cancer and chronic disease. Plant defenses and natural pesticides Plants cannot run or fight, so they use chemical defenses against insects, animals, and humans. The University of Washington cancer-biology story centers on plant carcinogens and the idea that vegetables contain many natural toxins. Bruce Ames’ work compares naturally occurring plant pesticides with synthetic pesticide residues and finds the natural chemicals far more abundant. Edible plants are handled as less acutely poisonous than hemlock, not as harmless food. Cassava, almonds, cyanogenic plants, peach pits, phytoestrogens, soy, nightshades, gluten, and lectins are used as toxin examples. Hormones, nutrient blockers, photosensitivity, and lectins Soy phytoestrogens are compared with estrogen amounts in women, birth-control pills, and growth-hormone beef. Carbohydrate-driven insulin disrupts leptin and the conversion of testosterone to estrogen, which is tied to PCOS. Fiber, soy, wheat, gluten, and protease inhibitors reduce digestion and absorption of protein and other nutrients. Lime oils and celery compounds are used as examples of plant chemicals that create photosensitivity and sun-related skin injury. Lectins can cross a damaged gut barrier, trigger antibodies, and create molecular mimicry that drives autoimmune disease. Removal of lectins and other plant compounds through a red-meat-and-water carnivore diet is given as reversing Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and Hashimoto’s. Final conclusion Humans are obligate carnivores with one optimal diet: meat. Variation by sex, pregnancy, childhood, or individual preference does not change the species-specific diet. Biology, anatomy, evolution, anthropology, metabolism, plant chemistry, and disease reversal all point to meat as the optimal human food. Plants use defense chemicals because survival in nature is kill or be killed, and human health improves when those chemicals are removed.

Thoughts after my first month on Lemmy

I finally made the leap to Lemmy. It’s a little confusing, but it’s doing a pretty good job of scratching that reddit itch. Some random thoughts: I just need a place to spit out my random thoughts and have random conversations and make random jokes; it’s really not that demmanding. Do I miss having 400 upvotes instead of 11? Sure, but the main thing is that I’m communicating with people. Definitely get an app. I’m using Voyager on my phone with a KBM–how I mostly get around. Big difference from Reddit: Those 400 upvotes come at a cost–posts are dead within a few hours. There’s almost no point to leave a new comment in an active thread–nobody is going to see it. And there’s also no point in leaving a detailed explanation of anything on reddit for the same reason. On Lemmy, I’ll get replies to posts and comments DAYS later, and people seem more willing to be helpful; maybe because things are less contentious, and maybe it’s just people are naturally more helpful to strangers in smaller communities (see cities vs small towns)… So really, the only downside to lemmy–the small size of the population–ends up being one the best things about it. It’s definitely nice not having to compulsively check to see if my comments have been shadowbanned–which happened quite frequently and seemingly without reason on reddit. It’s nice to be in a space where I can be more frank about political remedies. It’s nice that I can view the comment histories of people I’m talking with to determine if they’re an inveterate asshole or just having a bad day (only found one asshole so far). That’s it! 10/10. I’ll try not to burn my reddit account in case I have a tough question, but I honestly think a technical question is more likely to be answered on Lemmy with it’s small platoon of nerds with little to chew on than the hordes of ignorami on reddit rapidly trying to solve everyone’s problem by free associating the title of the post.

Carpenter here. I got fed up with messengers wanting my phone number, so I built my own. Looking for honest criticism.

At some point I wanted to send my own designs to people without them leaking anywhere… This doesn’t seem like the problem you’re solving. You’re talking about not leaking designs, but then you go on about hiding phone numbers. What is the concern, here? If you don’t want designs leaked, you need to trust the person who receives it not to leak it, or somehow make it impossible for them to share it. That’s the weak point, not the means of moving the file. An encrypted zip file moved by any means should be enough. What am I missing?
