TIL Pat Morita (Mr. Miyagi) as a child was diagnosed with spinal TB. He was wrapped in a full body cast, told he would never walk, and spent most of the first 9 years of his life in hospitals being treated. When he was finally released his family was interned in a camp for the duration of WWII.

CNN —
Snowfall is declining globally as temperatures warm because of human-caused climate change, a new analysis and maps from a NOAA climate scientist show.
But less snow falling from the sky isn’t as innocuous as just having to shovel less; it threatens to reinforce warming, and disrupt food and water for billions of people

You can tell who the clowns are. They are the ones that will shout you down but never offer their own solutions. They stand in the way of any progress because they refuse to allow any change to happen. They benefit from the status quo and they ignore the people it oppresses. This is the root of all evil. Turning a blind eye toward the suffering of other humans. I don’t get along with all of my followers and we can argue on many points but I keep them around because they also want change.

UGH! The mob of miscreants around #TFG appears to be closely aligned with his lack of sexual morals and criminality. The frequency of offenders on TGF's team makes it appear that committing sexual crimes is actually prerequisite to work for TFG, whose own vile exploits include dozens of allegations of assault and harassment.

Reminder, if youtube's adblock-block has got you down between rounds of the adblockers updating their filters: youtube doesn't do adblock detection when logged out (presumably because it would harm the conversion funnel to turn away new users!). Also, firefox containers can be set to open all youtube.com URLs in a separate container with no login cookies. Just a thought.
