German singer Nina Hagen (“The Godmother of Punk”) filed a report with #UFO INFO.com of a sighting she had in Malibu Beach, California.
#Quote In #1981, I was four and a half months pregnant with my first child. After dinner with my mom and three friends, everybody went to bed in their own bedrooms. The next thing I remember: I wake up! I go straight toward the window and open the curtain, I don’t know why. And there “it” was. A most amazing lightship hovering right in front and about four or five meters above me.
I felt extreme #bliss. I had one thought: #God, am I happy!
I stared into the light of the round shaped craft. The light showed itself in different spectrum-colors. I saw yellow and felt a very intelligent, caring love. Then came green: same delight, but with another kind of loving energy. Then came all the other colors, blue, turquoise, orange, red in the end came WHITE.
After that, I could look inside. It looked like a modern office, like a cool little recording studio. There were three people in it. One was a female (don’t ask me how or why I knew) and the other two were males. To me, they looked human. They never looked at me, they were busy doing/talking amongst themselves. A most outstanding experience was that the different spectrum-colors all had a different loving energy, beyond words or description.
She wrote a song about it.

She did it her way.
The individualism which finds its expression in the abuse of physical force is checked very early in the growth of civilization, and we of to-day should in our turn strive to shackle or destroy that individualism which triumphs by greed and cunning, which exploits the weak by craft instead of ruling them by brutality.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
Speech (1910-04-23), “Citizenship in a Republic [The Man in the Arena],” Sorbonne, Paris

A quotation from Russell, Bertrand
One of the symptoms of approaching nervous break-down is the belief that one’s work is terribly important, and that to take a holiday would bring all kinds of disaster.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 5 “Fatigue” (1930)

Neurotoxic and Systemic Implications of Microplastics and Nanoparticles
" #Microplastics (MPs) and #nanoparticles pose significant risks to #human #health, accumulating in tissues and vital organs, including the brain, reproductive organs, and cardiovascular system. MPs, such as polyethylene terephthalate ( #PET), polyvinyl chloride ( #PVC), and #polystyrene (PS), disrupt cellular function and induce oxidative stress, leading to infertility, neurodegeneration, and systemic toxicity[1][3].
Recent evidence highlights the olfactory pathway as a route for MPs to bypass the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and accumulate in the brain, emphasizing their potential role in neurodegenerative diseases" #quote dr young
A quotation from Watterson, Bill
CALVIN (as he and Hobbes ride a wagon downhill): I think life should be more like TV.
CALVIN: I think all of life’s problems ought to be solved in thirty minutes with simple homilies, don’t you? I think weight and oral hygiene ought to be our biggest concerns.
CALVIN: I think we should all have powerful, high-paying jobs, and everyone should drive fancy sports cars. All our desires should be instantly gratified.
CALVIN (as the wagon flies off a cliff): Women should always wear tight clothes, and men should carry powerful handguns.
CALVIN (as he and Hobbes tumble in mid-air): Life overall should be more glamorous, thrill-packed, and filled with applause, don’t you think?
HOBBES (as they pick themselves up from the ground): I think my life is too featherbrained already.
CALVIN: Of course, if life was really like that, what would we watch on TV?

#quote from #JamesHorak, he sums it up nicely:
“If #time #travel is possible, will be possible, has ever been possible it is with us now.” - James C. Horak
We will officially have time travel technology in about 150 years.
These “drones” that you see now disable and take away nuclear weapons. They are losing them en masse.
We have been working for several years to ensure that this timeline continues to exist.
Wondering if wealth inequality is out of control?

A quotation from Travers, P. L.
You do not chop off a section of your imaginative substance and make a book specifically for children, for — if you are honest — you have no idea where childhood ends and maturity begins. It is all endless and all one.
P. L. Travers (1899-1996) Australian-British writer [Pamela Lyndon Travers; b. Helen Lyndon Goff]
Essay (1978-07-02), “I Never Wrote for Children,” New York Times

Social Murder
When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another such that death results, we call the deed manslaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that the injury would be fatal, we call his deed murder. But when society places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by the sword or bullet; when it deprives thousands of the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which they cannot live — forces them, through the strong arm of the law, to remain in such conditions until that death ensues which is the inevitable consequence — knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual; disguised, malicious murder, murder against which none can defend himself, which does not seem what it is, because no man sees the murderer, because the death of the victim seems a natural one, since the offence is more one of omission than of commission. But murder it remains.
#quote by Friedrich #Engels, The Condition of the Working-Class in England (1845)

A quotation from Stevenson, Robert Louis
It is a mere illusion that, above a certain income, the personal desires will be satisfied and leave a wider margin for the generous impulse.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Familiar Studies of Men and Books, “Henry David Thoreau,” § 2 (1882)
