Robb—you helped me in 2012 with Paleo. I still use recipes from your book. You and sisson changed my life. BTW I listen to your podcast Healthy Rebellion Radio. Will check out your substack.
I just love the things I learn on Bad Cattitude! Thank you, Janet, for mentioning, Robb Wolf, as I just became a subscriber on his podcast, Healthy Rebellion!!
It wasn’t easy. A sister won’t talk to me. I still have all my friends tho. Some know some don’t. My hubby quit pressuring me and since he got the JNJ he will not booster. I work too hard to be healthy. Not going to screw up the rest of my time here with the danger and sleepless nights if I get them. I will never comply. Have a great day! Stay strong 💪🏻
I still abide by the food pyramid, just as the experts recommended… I just can’t figure out why my weight keeps rising, along with my blood pressure. WTF?!?!?
That was precisely the image that came to my mind, before I read your comment. Andre Breton would simply love this, so would Jean Cocteau. And Gertrude Stein. But where are the great ironic writers and artists - the whole camp of Surrealists and Expressionists? Where is Dali, and Elmer Rice? Where is there an Ionesco reveling in this absurdity? Where, for that matter, is Peter Sellers or Bob Dylan? Is anyone chronicling this madness and turning it into art? Or has art been buried under the slimy, festering bed of woke...Fascism crushes the human spirit, but not forever, and not for long. There has been a shift, can you feel it? I do.
Perhaps there's a little over-respect given to those who regard themselves as professional artists. No one's entitled to a day job doing exactly as one pleases.
I meant internet discourse, but back then it was geeks talking geek stuff, like Warhammer or game modding or Star Trek or something. Kinda "cringe", but harmless. I prefer that to total government surveillance and adults screaming and crying like toddlers!
A few weeks ago I heard an interview with someone on the Clay and Buck show. Basically the guy interviewed said that the screaming Karens/ gay Kyles on Twitter are the ONLY people that get the attention of the policy makers in DC. So... the angry Twitter brigade are the ones directing our government. And, if you think about the last two years, that does make sense.
Either that, or Brandon really is trying to destroy us. Maybe that's what the checks from Russia and China were for. You don't need to cause an EMP over us or bomb us, just have Biden come into power.
I remember when I was a kid, maybe around 10-12, my dad was talking about the evils of sensitivity training. It’s just brainwashing that suppresses common sense and causes massive feelings of undeserved guilt. Let’s all strive to not be sensitive. Truth may hurt. I don’t want to ever hear the word “trigger” again unless I’m taking shooting lessons.
Sadly, when you think about it, with "their" mandates, "they've" been ridiculing us, sitting back and laughing as most of the people follow them. On an up note, ridicule goes both ways!
You got that wrong. Ridicule is like 20th. Honesty is enemy #1. I mean how do you profess to be "liberal" while saying the prospect of an open discussion platform is the end of the free world? You've got to have some serious ability to lie to yourself!
I'm seeing most of the die hard liberals of the 60s and 70s are the most eager to cancel rights. It's insane. Proves they always just wanted to be cool, not giving.
You don't even have to go back to the 60s. Just go back a few weeks! Musk and Tesla have been icons of "the cool kids" since Musk founded the company to make EVs. A hero of the very same people now declaring him evil, racist and equating him with Hitler.
Well not all of us :-). I'm one of those 60s and 70s "liberals". I see The Party of today having become almost the inverse of what it stood fro in the 60s and 70s. The really nuts part is that most of the faithful followers do not see what they're doing. It is as if they can't hear what they're saying.
Not ridicule, common humor. It's a basic human communication type going back to caveman days. The Woke are going to create "better people" first by stripping them of their common humanity and then re-educated accordingly...
I think that we should all refer to the new DHS department as The Ministry of Truth, with a shot from "1984" that is ominous looking and soul crushing. And it should be used so often that it becomes obvious that that is it's mission, and so that people will tune it out.
It will be OUR propaganda war to defang the government's efforts to intimidate us into rejecting truth.
I think that the Ministry of Truth is just a distraction. There was too much in the news about a laptop and people on the terrorist watch list being ushered into the US
You've nailed it, Boots. A good 75% or more of what we are seeing in the news is just that, a distraction. Ukraine, the charges of racism, white supremacy, etc., are all designed to keep us looking at this hand not at that one. While they loot the country entire.
Possibly as a precursor to minimizing losses in elections. The human psyche can't stand no input, so ensuring approved input will result in a compliant crowd and messaging that helps get their candidates in. And this will be endorsed by RINO's as well. They stand to lose as well. A time of reckoning and accountability may yet still come.
I can't help but think that the Ministry of Truth Merry Poppins is the shiny object they want us to look at whilst they do something else to make voting less transparent.
Absolutely. Just a scant few weeks ago, Elon was the hero of all that is mainstream correctness. He's been right in there with the high tech billionaires helping support The Party financially, and Tesla is the epitome of "correct": Built by an "outsider" to the auto industry with a goal of ONLY making EVs, the politically correct flocked to him as if he were the new messiah. So what happened? He said he liked Trump? Not even. He said Trump has as much right to speak as anyone. Heresy! Now he is an apartheid raised racist evil doer trying to kill babies, kick puppies and destroy the free world. The hypocrisy is so deep. The rage so unreal. Yet so effin entertaining!
And if we're paying attention we see the true colors of the media elites when it comes to "free speech". Truth is they loath the notion and have for decades if not longer: they see themselves as a privileged, entitled group and resent anyone who thinks of "free speech" as for everyone. Only now instead of veiled disdain it is all out in the open: free speech, unfettered by "responsible journalism" is unsafe and INTOLERABLE!
You've got Jews saying that uncontrolled free speech will lead to another Hitler. Wrong. Intellectually dishonest. "liberals" endorsing a government agency not only dedicated to censorship but actually chartered to provide "the truth" and empowered to criminalize that which they deem to be incorrect or dangerous (translation: that which must be suppressed). THAT kids is what Hitler did. Hitler used the power of hate: he created a demon, and justified everything upon containing the danger created by the demons. Only hate is powerful enough to drive people who really do, inside, know right from wrong, to do such wrong things. Trump and anyone who does not denounce him as evil are EXACTLY what the Jews were for Hitler. The evil that must be eradicated at any cost. Even if it means giving up everything.
Musk is certainly putting a lot on the line for this. I suppose the common thread is his desire to ensure a future for humanity. Giving us the potential of being a multi-planet species wasn’t enough.
I do know if Musk is concerned with the future of humanity. Maybe. Or maybe he just likes the attention. It's his money and I've not no problem using it to reach for the stars or by Twitter. With space-x he's doing real good.
He has never seemed beyond taking risks. He's now target #2.
I just hurt myself laughing so fn hard! The "When you realize that Tesla you bought..." is just the best I've seen so far! The irony! Brilliant!
Ah I remember the 'good old days' which was maybe, oh I dunno, March? When Elon was the hero of climate warriors and the Tesla was the ultimate symbol of whatever the f that crowd calls themselves today - woke, hip, intellectual, whatever. Really it was a dozen weeks or so back, no? What crime did Elon commit? He said Trump should be allowed to speak too. AGAD NO! Now ANYONE can say ANYTHING? How will we survive!
Well, like the first meme, I don't really think that's gonna happen. Crystal ball time: Twitter might see some updates, maybe stem the downward spiral and become more profitable. It won't become the wild west of death and destruction or the last safe place for free speech. Probably less filtering for a while then different filtering. But not that different. He probably likes the anti-Musk memes - because they are so lame and stupid and absurd it's like watching a puppy chase it's own tail - and finally catching it.
Yes Twitter, I agree this is such a sensitive subject. Those poor twits...I'm crying with them in solidarity. Ha! Kids...you better grow a pair of brass ovaries because life gets A LOT harder!
Fair point and I do imagine some of the long-time "thought leaders" are laughing every day. Possibly with a touch of astonishment at just how far, how absurd, the joke has gone.
But...when I ridicule someone's irrational and illogical conclusions I generally do not prevent them from making a living, demand they stay indoors, force them to take medications against their will, destroy a fundamentally sound economy to win an election, prevent people from being with family and loved ones, promote fear and depression through isolation, incarcerate others for daring to disagree, or otherwise suppress those who ridicule me. There is a difference between ridicule based upon observation and logic and using the power of force (aka government) to do so.
The true damage of 2020-22 is yet to be fully realized. Personally I know people (including myself) who were denied the chance to be with people for whom we cared deeply in their last days, forcing them to slip away alone and afraid. I may never recover from that and if it happened to you, likely nor will you.
Wow. Simply WOW. Just a few decades ago 'enlightened' western nations criticized the governments of China and the USSR for doing exactly this. What is next? Clearly jailing those who spread what is deemed misinformation. How about when people assemble in mass to spread such disagreeable misinformation? Well of course this must be prevented at all costs: once it starts it gets out of control. And control is everything in "free" society, right? Tienanmen square, Ohio State, Wounded Knee - these were once seen as tragedies but by the standard this morning all justified suppression of misinformation.
It's like a mirror, facing a mirror....creating infinity....
Robb—you helped me in 2012 with Paleo. I still use recipes from your book. You and sisson changed my life. BTW I listen to your podcast Healthy Rebellion Radio. Will check out your substack.
I just love the things I learn on Bad Cattitude! Thank you, Janet, for mentioning, Robb Wolf, as I just became a subscriber on his podcast, Healthy Rebellion!!
Thanks to Robb and Mark Sisson I am one super healthy and fit almost 74 yo unjabbed gal.
I love that you are almost 74 are didn't get the vaccine!!!
It wasn’t easy. A sister won’t talk to me. I still have all my friends tho. Some know some don’t. My hubby quit pressuring me and since he got the JNJ he will not booster. I work too hard to be healthy. Not going to screw up the rest of my time here with the danger and sleepless nights if I get them. I will never comply. Have a great day! Stay strong 💪🏻
Janet I am the same age and also healthier than ever. And of course, jab-free.
My wife and I are older than you. We are and will remain purebred.
I am not vaccinated either and lucky for me my husband and I have the same views……it isn’t easy standing your ground for your principles!
You are an inspiration to me! I will never comply either!!! Happy Friday!
SMART LADY you are, Janet!
I still abide by the food pyramid, just as the experts recommended… I just can’t figure out why my weight keeps rising, along with my blood pressure. WTF?!?!?
Disease control is beating war on money spent now. Just as planned. 3 trillion per year. Food pyramid = pyramid of Death.
Working as it was intended, just like the vax.
It seems to me a mix of incompetence and predation. These people in public health are both sophomoric and depraved.
Like a plan to make patients
I fear you may have misread the pyramid. It tells me: DORITO! Works for me.
Yes. You are correct. Spell food pyramid backwards and it says “death by Doritos.” LOL
😉
Right on!! Made my day!!
Say hi to your awesome wife. We camp in Montana. (Illinois)
That was precisely the image that came to my mind, before I read your comment. Andre Breton would simply love this, so would Jean Cocteau. And Gertrude Stein.

All the "artists" are producing propaganda for the regime now.
If they want to keep receiving that grant money, they are. Buncha whores.
To be fair, artists always have been.
Indeed - that is, if they want to eat. There are a few exceptions, but only a few.
They have to have FU money—like Eric Clapton and Van Morrison
Perhaps there's a little over-respect given to those who regard themselves as professional artists. No one's entitled to a day job doing exactly as one pleases.
Yuval Hariri, in his own words (first video):
https://emeralddb3.substack.com/p/yuval-hariri-tells-you-what-the-vaccines
All those employees are now moving to the new Ministry of Disinformation
They've always been with Ministry of Disinformation. It was called Twitter.
Ohhhh THATS where they went! Good to know. Strange to think we aren’t 100% joking....
I'd have thought they'd all be crowding into that 'safe space' under the stairs.
I have this nagging feeling that we were all better off when it was impossible to know everyone's random thoughts 24 hrs a day.
i always thought listening to other peoples thoughts would be fascinating till i read twitter
That "what you wish for" thingy...
To both Sca and Ray. I'm still laughing at your clever posts. I love humor and you are on a roll. Thanks.
Just trying to keep the rubber room at bay...
(Thank you, Helen.)
Thanks for the belly laugh
The internet was a better place when it was ",just for geeks"
rose tinted glasses? 56k modem or tape cassettes that you miss most?
I meant internet discourse, but back then it was geeks talking geek stuff, like Warhammer or game modding or Star Trek or something. Kinda "cringe", but harmless. I prefer that to total government surveillance and adults screaming and crying like toddlers!
That's why we evolved that way...we'd go insane knowing just how vapid the mundane thoughts of total strangers are...
Agree. Our own are bad enough!
OMG you're right. I used to wish this to be my superpower. Not anymore.
I never realized how functional my own thoughts actually are until I started reading some of the twaddle from the fascists.
Ha! I think some of the people with wits and thinking skills have come back.
Yes, always the silver lining!
Honest to God, the first victim of the Woke is humor. These people must be horrible to spend any time around...
laughter is both weapon and medicine.
it is small wonder that those who would deprive you of you liberty are so keen to take it from you.
They are. I spent a long half hour sitting in a green room next to one of the "ladies" of The View. wah wah waah!
It was surprising to me because she used to be a funny comedian. That is pretty ironic, because she has completely no sense of humor on air, imho
this is hilarious! These folks take themselves so seriously anyway..
Please don't laugh at them...so insensitive
More bubble wrap for all
Or maybe there is at least one person with a sense of humor who couldn't resist the irony :-)
I may be wrong but I believe to appreciate irony there must be a modicum of intelligence and the ability to “see”correct versus incorrect thinking.
A few weeks ago I heard an interview with someone on the Clay and Buck show. Basically the guy interviewed said that the screaming Karens/ gay Kyles on Twitter are the ONLY people that get the attention of the policy makers in DC. So... the angry Twitter brigade are the ones directing our government. And, if you think about the last two years, that does make sense.

I don’t want to ever hear the word “trigger” again unless I’m taking shooting lessons.
Yeah. But like a lot of the rest of their new jargon, I think this one is turning against them thanks to its own absurdity.
I hope so.
I love to use the word "trigger" as part of my daily schtick. But use it for real? Ugh!
Proving once again that ridicule is the one of the most potent tools against tyrants.
Ridicule and Parody are a lot less messy than the other effective tools that's for sure.
The pen is usually tidier than the sword. But what it can lead to...
Touché!!
Sadly, when you think about it, with "their" mandates, "they've" been ridiculing us, sitting back and laughing as most of the people follow them. On an up note, ridicule goes both ways!
And, why it is "public enemy #1" of the woke...
You got that wrong. Ridicule is like 20th. Honesty is enemy #1. I mean how do you profess to be "liberal" while saying the prospect of an open discussion platform is the end of the free world? You've got to have some serious ability to lie to yourself!

Yes!
Crazy!
Still, the "hippies" of the 60s were the first to start yelling at people not wearing masks for the past two plus years. I'm furious at them
Well not all of us :-). I'm one of those 60s and 70s "liberals". I see The Party of today having become almost the inverse of what it stood fro in the 60s and 70s. The really nuts part is that most of the faithful followers do not see what they're doing. It is as if they can't hear what they're saying.
"In war, truth is the first casualty" - Aeschylus said that, a long, long time ago. And there is little doubt that we are in a great war...
indeed
Not ridicule, common humor. It's a basic human communication type going back to caveman days. The Woke are going to create "better people" first by stripping them of their common humanity and then re-educated accordingly...
I think that we should all refer to the new DHS department as The Ministry of Truth, with a shot from "1984" that is ominous looking and soul crushing. And it should be used so often that it becomes obvious that that is it's mission, and so that people will tune it out.
It will be OUR propaganda war to defang the government's efforts to intimidate us into rejecting truth.
I think "The Ministry of Disinformation" is just fine, and works even for people who haven't read "1984".
I just discovered that the US has now entered into a pact with 59 other nations called "Declaration for the Future of the Internet" https://reclaimthenet.org/60-countries-sign-declaration-misinformation/
So much movement to suppress since Elon bought Twitter.
Don't worry, 1984 will be banned soon, and Google will delete all references to the Ministry of Truth.
I think that the Ministry of Truth is just a distraction. There was too much in the news about a laptop and people on the terrorist watch list being ushered into the US
You've nailed it, Boots. A good 75% or more of what we are seeing in the news is just that, a distraction. Ukraine, the charges of racism, white supremacy, etc., are all designed to keep us looking at this hand not at that one. While they loot the country entire.
nicely put.
Possibly as a precursor to minimizing losses in elections. The human psyche can't stand no input, so ensuring approved input will result in a compliant crowd and messaging that helps get their candidates in. And this will be endorsed by RINO's as well. They stand to lose as well. A time of reckoning and accountability may yet still come.
I can't help but think that the Ministry of Truth Merry Poppins is the shiny object they want us to look at whilst they do something else to make voting less transparent.
Whatever comes of this, what has been revealed is priceless.
Absolutely. Just a scant few weeks ago, Elon was the hero of all that is mainstream correctness. He's been right in there with the high tech billionaires helping support The Party financially, and Tesla is the epitome of "correct": Built by an "outsider" to the auto industry with a goal of ONLY making EVs, the politically correct flocked to him as if he were the new messiah.

You absolutely love to see this meltdown.
I have collected about 3 dozen Musk memes with this theme, and I keep updating this post with more. There are some truly amazing memes out there.
https://themariachiyears.substack.com/p/momentous-musk-memes-?s=w
These are glorious! Just subscribed 😆
Those are so great! Thanks for collecting them.
Thank you, I needed that. The best medicine.
I just hurt myself laughing so fn hard! The "When you realize that Tesla you bought..." is just the best I've seen so far! The irony! Brilliant!

I hope you come back to Twitter gato ! LOL
Don't worry he'll follow the (cat) Musk
Yes Twitter, I agree this is such a sensitive subject. Those poor twits...I'm crying with them in solidarity. Ha! Kids...you better grow a pair of brass ovaries because life gets A LOT harder!
Twitter: anti-antifa
Pavlov's woke

Oh, wait... it's not just THE "Ministry of Truth", there's now an INTERNATIONAL "Ministry of Truth".
https://reclaimthenet.org/60-countries-sign-declaration-misinformation/
60 countries signing on to an agreement to censor out "misinformation". This is far beyond "The Trusted News Initiative".
Wow. Simply WOW. Just a few decades ago 'enlightened' western nations criticized the governments of China and the USSR for doing exactly this. What is next? Clearly jailing those who spread what is deemed misinformation. How about when people assemble in mass to spread such disagreeable misinformation?

Thank you for reminding us of how far we have come. It provides clarity and perspective.
