I did a quick once-over of the headlines and clicked on one or two when the article first made the rounds, and at first glance it seemed legit, but I guess afterwards the people running it blew their load too hard because this newer article is just way too on-the-nose.

To see this happening just after they raided Pfizer. It's more than just a simple coincidence and there's more than meet the eyes.
Well PV may be dead soon. Wonder if this is sabotage.
Doubt it because he’s talking with people.

Poachers usually know more about their quarry and its ecology than biologists do. It's their living, after all. If you give them a way to replace the income they were getting from poaching, they make great ecologists.

Feels like there was a thread about the anti-migrant protests in Ireland but I can't find it.
I know there's recent footage of them burning cars and I think the hotel where the migrants were kept.

4 teens arrested for organized retail crime, accused of stealing over $250,000 of alcohol
Four teenagers were arrested in Kern County after being accused of stealing over $250,000 worth of alcohol from Rite Aids throughout California.
CHP said on February 8, 2023, at around 10:15 a.m., a CHP officer saw a blue Chevrolet Equinox that matched the description of a be on the lookout, or BOL vehicle, responsible for shoplifting from a local Rite Aid, exiting from southbound Highway 99 at a high rate of speed.
According to CHP, a traffic enforcement stop was initiated on the Chevrolet on South H Street and Bear Mountain Boulevard in Bakersfield.
CHP said $7,000 worth of stolen alcohol, from a Shafter and Delano Rite Aid, was recovered from the arrest.
The teens are suspected to be responsible for a string of thefts from several Rite Aid locations ranging from Southern California through Tulare County in Central California.
CHP Central Divison Organized Retail Crime Task Force Investigators said the four teens, three boys and one girl, ages ranging from 16 to 17, are suspected of being responsible for shoplifting over $250,000 worth of alcohol from several Rite Aid locations throughout California, ranging from Southern California through Tulare County in Central California.
CHP said the teens were from Riverside and Hemet.
The juveniles were booked into the Kern County Juvenile Detention Facility on multiple charges including organized retail crime, grand theft, shoplifting, conspiracy to commit a crime, and receiving known stolen property.

Two GOP senators reintroduce bill to make abortion legal up to birth
Two moderate Republican senators are helping reintroduce a bill that would legalize abortions up to birth nationwide.
U.S. Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Susan Collins, R-Maine, have rejoined Sens. Tim Kaine, D-Va., and Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., in their attempt to codify abortion protections.
The Reproductive Freedom for All Act was previously introduced in the 117th Congress, where it basically went nowhere, but now it is being reintroduced in the 118th by the same group of bipartisan lawmakers who are known to be moderates in their parties.
The bipartisan legislation is supposed to be an alternative to the more extreme Women's Health Protection Act (WHPA), which removes a litany of safeguards to make sure women are ready and capable of having an abortion, as well as allows for abortions post-birth.
The Reproductive Freedom for All Act would only protect abortions prior to fetal viability, which is the point at which a fetus can survive on its own outside the womb. The bill does not allow for the termination of pregnancies after fetal viability like the WHPA does.
"It's up to Congress to help restore and protect women's reproductive rights. I'm proud to reintroduce bipartisan legislation with my colleagues," Murkowski said in a statement to the Richmond Times-Dispatch. "Unless we enshrine reproductive health care autonomy into law, we risk a future where generations of women will grow up with fewer rights than their mothers."
In the wake of the termination of Roe v. Wade, which provided nationwide protection for abortions, 12 states have passed bans on abortion, with limited exceptions. Those exceptions include, among others, when the life of the mother is at risk. Several other states have implemented bans on abortions after a certain gestational age, but some of those have been overturned by the courts.
During President Joe Biden's State of The Union Address Tuesday, he urged Congress to "restore the right that was taken away in Roe v. Wade."
While Democrats have a better majority in the Senate this Congress, the bill will have a hard time making it through the newly-GOP controlled House.
The National Desk (TND) reached out to both Sens. Murkowski and Collins for comment but did not receive a response. If one is obtained this story will be updated.

WHY YOU NEVER HIRE FEMALES
Elijah Schaffer's former cohost at The Blaze, that Sydney Watson chick, is suing.
uk.news.yahoo.com
Pim Tool video on it:
This bimbo is literally crying about misogyny and anti-Jewish sentiment, as well as other typical shitlib lunacy.
If she was a fragile progressive purple hair ho, I would still be skeptical, but I saw her behavior with Nick Fuentellas in that famous interview, and she's a shitposting afficionado and Internet savvy, and she knew what she's into considering Elijah's tweets and associations.
You go host show at conservative outlet with reactionary dude, and then you cry about being treated according to equality, i.e. being called a dumb fag and ho. Wow

Taking a break from my Jonah Hill-posting to pay tribute to one of the co-founders of the group that is responsible for my avatar on here.
David Jolicoeur, a founding member of the pioneering hip hop trio De La Soul, has died aged 54, US media have reported.
No cause of death has been given for the rapper, who went by the stage name Trugoy the Dove. The American musician had previously spoken publicly about his congestive heart failure in recent years.
Jolicoeur co-founded the legendary trio - alongside Posdnuos (Kelvin Mercer) and Maseo (Vincent Lamont Mason Jr).
The group changed the face of hip-hop in the late 80s and early 90s, and was honoured at last week's Grammy Awards in Los Angeles during a tribute to the genre.
Writing on Twitter, B Real - a rapper with the hip-hop group Cypress Hill - described Jolicoeur as a "legend of hip hop music and culture".
"His music will allow him to live in our hearts and minds," he wrote. "But not only was he a great musician but he was a great human being. He meant a lot to us."
Last month, the group's classic albums were made available for streaming online.
Complex licensing issues around De La Soul's use of hundreds of samples had held back the move until now. De La Soul's first six records will be released on digital streaming services for the first time on 3 March.
3 Feet High and Rising, which was their debut album in 1989, reached number one on Billboard's top R&B/hip-hop album chart and often appears on lists of the greatest albums of all time. It included hits The Magic Number and Me, Myself and I.
————————————————————————————
And now, to end this article, here‘s one of my favorite De La hits. I’ve been listening to them for years, and now I’ll just have to keep listening until I get tired of it.
Either way, the Soul is still with them in a much strong way:

This Ohio animal shelter will name a litterbox after your ex for Valentine's Day
As hilarious as this is I can see it turning into a scandal when somebody starts screeching about how its misogynistic and anti woman hatred to name something a cat shits in after your ex out of spite and goes after the shelter for it

If you think meth fueled gay orgies are somehow not a good thing, you're a hater.
If you're gay and you think that, you're a traitor.
This article is relevant because it just started making the rounds in right wing denunciation circles.
The lines are being drawn. A public debate on the subject is in the works.
Expect all the most notorious pundits on both sides to chime in.
Too soon to start a new thread, but you heard it here first.
