12:49pm "Frey said he’d seen video of the confrontation and said ICE was “already trying to spin this as an act of self-defense. That is bullshit. This was an agent recklessly using power … that resulted in someone dying, getting killed.”

Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, saying, “While for the safety of our officers we do not get into law enforcement footprint, DHS has surged law enforcement and has already made more than 1,000 arrests of murderers, rapists, pedophiles and gang members.” Hmm, I await the specific charges, outcome of the trials against these criminals. And note that this group is probably far less likely to be “murderers, rapists, and pedophiles” than the current Executive Branch of the US. Perhaps Secy McLaughlin will clarify this matter for us.

Sounds like it.

“She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,” Heller said. JFC!

“I’ve never told a lie.”

Keep pushing your representatives to stay on this. Phone calls, letters, emails, etc., all can be used to make sure our reps know that this is important to all of us ongoingly. And that is why you are incorrect, We The People in fact can continue to do something about this matter. Don’t give up hope now, that’s exactly what the fascists would prefer you do. Don’t give them what they want. Be brave, u/the_q , remember persistence furthers.

Sure donnie, gotta give us those unredacted epstein files, first.

Yar, the only way to make new friends is to talk to strangers, Matey!

Well, ultimately you and I are in the ‘under’ part of being overruled. So I can only wish you well as we do what have to in these next months and years. Sort of thing that makes me grateful for the gentle, consensual anarchy of my ‘small circle of friends’.

@wookieshaman , comment if you please.

Hmm, yeah, what does it mean? Also, don’t give yourself a tummy ache with green mulberries, based on some possibly spurious quotation from some ancient website entry. Ripe mulberries are so much better than that.

I’m pretty sure about 19M eligible voters were convinced that their vote wouldn’t count, or otherwise outright prevented from voting. So I can’t really call it a majority. But sure if it makes you more comfortable, then I’m ok with you holding that viewpoint.

No clue, not really sure it’s the case that beer is being singled out. The original post was about beer. We could talk about the other phytoestrogens, and/or other estrogenic chemicals.

would you accept ‘collective cruelty and stupidity’? or would ‘collective cruelty, stupidity, and shortsightedness’ be more accurate? How about ‘collective cruelty, stupidity, greed, and shortsightedness’?

I kinda do give a damn about Venezuelan people, you see. It’s my government that doesn’t give a shit about US nor Venezuelan citizens.

Right, so all of this indicates that phytoestrogens indeed do have effects on mice and human estrogen related physiology. The effects can be a little puzzling, though. As I understand it, there are two types of estrogen receptors, Alpha and Beta. And there are many phytoestrogens as well as estrogenic chemicals that we are exposed to, with the one’s in beer binding to Estrogen Receptor Alpha, which signals breast cells and breast cancer cells to proliferate. The binding affinity of the phytoestrogens is weaker than that of the endogenous estrogen. None the less when a given phytoestrogen is bound to a given receptor it gives a slightly weaker estrogen-like signal, and simultaneously prevents the binding of the endogenous estrogen (can’t fit two keys into a single lock at the same time), which has a stronger affinty, and thus stronger effect when it is bound to the receptor. So in an individual with lots of estrogen, the phytoestrogen may lower the estrogenic signal, and in someone with less estrogen it may augment the estrogenic signal in the body. Does that make sense? Do you have questions?

Arr, pirates must know all manner o’ knots, as to knot (har har!) know them would be lubberly, and is not to be countenanced.

Nay, Matey! We’ve got to count the loot, and distribute it equitably, yar! So all pirates must know a wee bit 'o arithmetic, harr!

Unripe mulberries are halucinogenous? https://www.erowid.org/herbs/mulberry/mulberry_info2.shtml tl;dr - “White Mulberry - All parts of white mulberry, except for the ripe fruit, contain a milky sap (latex) that is toxic to humans. Although humans may consume ripe mulberry fruit, ingestion of unripe fruit can result in stomach upset, stimulation of the nervous system and hallucinations.”

Umm, not so fond of psychedelic states as to consume latex sap. I’ll pass, thanks.
