Botched Tattoos...
I followed a link from one site that linked to another site, then to another. It was about people who have excessive tattoos and have regretted getting them.
The funniest was a woman who wanted a tattoo like the first example:
(note: this image has been faked by Photoshop as the same woman's arm appears on many other tattoo samples)
The actual tattoo appears here:
Posted on TikTok, one viewer wrote "This looks like it was done in prison."

The meat paradox
Scientists have been studying this conflict, between caring for animals and killing them to eat them. This phenomenon has been labelled ‘the meat paradox’ by University of Kent and Université Libre de Bruxelles researchers Steve Loughnan, Boyka Bratanova, and Elisa Puvia.
And we generally do care for animals. That’s why countries have laws protecting animals, why societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals (SPCAs) and other animal protection groups exist, why there was such national outrage when tigress Avni was killed, why the global horror when Cecil the lion and later his son Xanda were killed by trophy hunters in Zimbabwe, and it is likely why you are reading this book. In fact, many of us find what has to happen to animals to produce meat wrong, at least in principle, what little we may know about it, even if we eat meat.
A prank that was set up at a supermarket in Brazil, in which a man pretending to be a butcher offered samples of free fresh pork sausages to the store’s customers, proves this point. Shoppers would visit the counter, eat and admire the pork. Then, the butcher would offer to make more, but to do so he would bring out a live piglet and put the animal in a machine that appeared to instantly grind her up and turn her into fresh meat. In reality, another prankster was sitting in the machine safely collecting each baby pig. Although customers had just readily eaten pork, they were aghast when they thought a live pig was about to be killed. One woman spat out pork from her mouth, others pleaded with the butcher not to kill the young pig and even tried to physically stop him from doing so. None of them picked up another piece of the free fresh pork that they had eagerly eaten before seeing the live pig. If you were one of the customers, what would you have done?

GOP rep says illegal migrants sent ‘pallets’ of hard-to-find baby formula
Illegals getting formula while Americans have to wait.
Pallets of baby formula are being sent to holding facilities at the border amid a shortage that has seen many parents unable to find it at their local stores, according to a GOP representative.
"They are sending pallets, pallets of baby formula to the border," Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Fla., said in a video posted to Facebook Wednesday. "Meanwhile, in our own district at home, we cannot find baby formula."
Cammack posted pictures to social media of empty formula shelves in Florida next to the pallets of food being sent to the border, saying in the video that a concerned border patrol agent sent her the image.
She said the picture comes from "Ursula processing facility" in Texas, where thousands are being housed and processed and then released." The Florida lawmaker said the concerned agent told her that she "'would not believe the shipment I just brought in.’"

Elon Musk Says He Will Reinstate Trump’s Twitter Account
On Tuesday at the Financial Times Future of the Car conference, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and future owner of Twitter, said that he will reinstate former President Donald Trump if his $44 billion deal to purchase Twitter goes through.
Musk stated that the ban was “morally wrong and flat-out stupid” since he believes that the banning of Trump led to the amplification, rather than the silencing, of the former president’s views:
“I do think it was not correct to ban Donald Trump. I think that was a mistake … It alienated a large part of the country and did not ultimately result in Donald Trump not having a voice.”
Additionally, Musk added that Trump’s behavior may have warranted “a temporary suspension…but not a permanent ban.”
Trump was permanently suspended from Twitter after January 6th with Twitter justifying its suspension in a statement saying that keeping Trump on Twitter could lead to “the risk of further incitement of violence”
Trump has said that he does not plan to return to Twitter and instead he has begun to utilize his own platform, Truth Social, to post his thoughts on everyday politics.
However, Trump’s actions, such as his lawsuit to try to reinstate his social media, demonstrate that the former president would like to send his daily tweets again.
Musk has emphasized that he sees Twitter as the modern public square and that the protection of free speech leads to a healthy democracy with him tweeting before the $44 billion deal went public that “Free speech is essential to a functioning democracy.”
Whether Trump decides to return to Twitter or not, Musk’s move to reinstate the 45th President’s account demonstrates Musk’s commitment to being a free speech absolutist, and Twitter may once again serve as an outlet for President Trump to reach his supporters.

Joseph James DeAngelo...
Joseph James DeAngelo
American serial killer.....
He was a police officer
what say
ok here is story from
wikipedia....
Joseph James DeAngelo Jr. (born November 8, 1945) is an American serial killer, serial rapist, burglar, and former police officer who committed at least 13 murders, 50 rapes, and 120 burglaries across California between 1974 and 1986. He was responsible for at least three crime sprees throughout the state, each of which spawned a different nickname in the press, before it became evident that they were committed by the same person. In the San Joaquin Valley, he was known as the Visalia Ransacker before moving to the Sacramento area, where he became known as the East Area Rapist and was linked by modus operandi to additional attacks in Contra Costa County, Stockton, and Modesto. DeAngelo committed serial murders in Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Orange counties, where he was known as the Night Stalker and later the Original Night Stalker (owing to serial killer Richard Ramirez also being called the "Night Stalker"). He is believed to have taunted and threatened both victims and police in obscene phone calls and possibly written communications.
During the decades-long investigation, several suspects were cleared through DNA evidence, alibi, or other investigative methods. In 2001, after DNA testing indicated that the East Area Rapist and the Original Night Stalker were the same person, the combined acronym EARONS came into use. The case was a factor in the establishment of California's DNA database, which collects DNA from all accused and convicted felons in California and has been called second only to Virginia's in effectiveness in solving cold cases. To heighten awareness of the case, crime writer Michelle McNamara coined the name Golden State Killer in early 2013.
On June 15, 2016, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and local law-enforcement agencies held a news conference to announce a renewed nationwide effort, offering a $50,000 reward for the Golden State Killer's capture. On April 24, 2018, authorities charged 72-year-old DeAngelo with eight counts of first-degree murder, based upon DNA evidence; investigators had identified members of DeAngelo's family through forensic genetic genealogy. This was also the first announcement connecting the Visalia Ransacker crimes to DeAngelo. Owing to California's statute of limitations on pre-2017 rape cases, DeAngelo could not be charged with 1970s rapes; but he was charged in August 2018 with thirteen related kidnapping and abduction attempts. On June 29, 2020, DeAngelo pleaded guilty to multiple counts of murder and kidnapping. As part of a plea bargain that spared him the death penalty, DeAngelo also admitted to numerous crimes with which he had not been formally charged, including rapes. On August 21, 2020, DeAngelo was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.[

To The Sun!
NASA has released a shocking photo of the sun that looks like a ball in a volcanic eruption.
NASA, which has been continuously exploring space, has released a new photo of the sun over the past few weeks showing that the sun's emitting more radiation and increasing the amount of heat it emits.
It shows an increase in the amount of fire plumes emitted by the sun....
In addition, NASA has stated that the high levels of radiation currently emitted by these plumbing will not cause any harm to humans and that if they were to reach Earth directly, radio communications, spacecraft on the International Space Station and astronauts would be affected.

Russian TV appears to be lying to their audience.
In an article in the UK's Daily Telegraph, a media watcher writes his own personal view on how propaganda is changing in Russia, the invasion is now about fictitious Nazis being the reason for the war, and that civilian deaths are minimal.
