The Prime Minister of Polandβs name is Donald Tuskβ¦and people think weβre not in a simulation π«
π¨π΅π±COUP UNDERWAY IN POLAND!
PM Donald Tusk has just sent police to storm Constitutional Tribunal building in Warsaw in the middle of the night.
Tusk waited until President Karol Nawrocki left the country before ordering the police takeover.
Nawrocki was halfway to Senegal when he abruptly turned his plane around and rushed back to Poland to confront the unfolding crisis.
The EU, which backs Donald Tusk, has STILL NOT issued a statement on this unprecedented crisis or condemned the attempted coup.

Just turned mine off...Good grief.
π¨HOLY CRAP:
Turn this off on your phone right now.
Go to your iPhone settings - accessibility - audio & visual - LIVE LISTEN.
Turn off LIVE LISTEN.
It even says it keeps TRANSCRIPTS.
This is NUTS.

My parents worked 40 years to enjoy 15. That math never made sense to me.

π¨#BREAKING: Parents are FURIOUS after a 67-year-old Maryland school bus driver who bought EVERY KID SCHOOL SUPPLIES ON HER ROUTE was STRIPPED OF HER CERTIFICATION...
...because she stopped on an empty country road so a 10-year-old boy could RESCUE AN INJURED KITTEN!!!
Yes, you read that right...
A little boy saw a hurt kitten on the side of the road, his bus driver let him save it, and she lost her job for it.
Her name is Cynthia Morgan.
For 11 years she drove kids in Harford County, most recently to North Harford Elementary.
Parents say every fall she BOUGHT SCHOOL SUPPLIES for EVERY child on her bus.
Oh, and she also bought:
-> Christmas gifts.
-> Birthday cards.
All out of her own pocket, for all her bus stop students.
In one momβs words:
βShe is an angel. She is the most caring person.β
Then one day... in rural Pylesville, the boy spotted an injured kitten by the road.
He was the ONLY child on the bus
Cynthia stopped, he hopped off, scooped up the kitten, and held it the whole way to school.
On October 5th, the districtβs transportation director sent a letter to the contractor that employs her and stripped her of her certification.
More than 10,000 people have signed a petition to bring her back.
Even freaking PETA wrote to the Board of Education TODAY demanding a review of the situation
The boyβs mother is BEYOND FURIOUS... if you can't let a boy rescue a kitten on a country road, what CAN you do?!!!!
WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?!!!!!!!!

Russia is telling the world the plague outbreak is "under control", but a second victim has now just been confirmed dead.
After the report was published, the media outlet was forced to delete it. This plague is spreading and there is an obvious cover up. There are at least 200 people quarantined and 5 hospitals are in "epidemic mode", but who knows if its already worse.
We've seen this movie before with China and COVID...

Gen X is currently stuck in the brutal vice grip of the "Sandwich Generation," and itβs completely reshaping their priorities.
Youβre 49. Your kids are 17 and about to leave the nest forever. At the exact same time, your parents are 79 and rapidly losing their memory, mobility, and independence.
You sit in a sterile conference room on a Thursday listening to a 32-year-old consultant talk about "cross-functional synergy," and you realize you have maybe five good summers left with your parents and six months before your teenager moves out.
The idea of trading another 50 hours a week to chase a "Senior Vice President" title stops sounding prestigious and starts sounding like an absolute tragedy.
Gen X isn't burning out because they're tired of working. Theyβre opting out because they finally calculated the real cost of being absent.

We are quietly isolating an entire generation of older people from society, and nobody seems to give a damn.
I took my 84-year-old grandfather to his local bank branch on Friday.
The exact same brick-and-mortar branch where he opened his first account in 1978.
We pull up to the front doors. Theyβre locked.
Inside is an empty lobby with a small sign: βCashless Service Hub.β
A young guy in a polo shirt opens the door and tells us:
βWe don't handle teller deposits or paper checks here anymore. You just need to download the mobile portal and scan your routing number.β
My grandfather pulls out an old flip phone with a cracked screen and a paper pension check from his coat pocket.
His hands were visibly shaking.
The employee just shrugs.
βYou can do it on an iPad, or have a family member manage the app for you.β
This man worked forty-two years in a manufacturing plant. Paid his taxes. Fought for this country.
And now he is made to feel completely useless and stripped of his dignity because he doesn't own an iOS device.
Tech isn't making life easier if it completely locks out the people who built the world weβre living in.
Are your elderly parents or grandparents running into this wall too?

So now they want people to believe the story that a lab worker in Russia dropped a vial of weaponized pneumonia and now a plague is spreading. Good God.. when will all this BS ever end.

For some reason, Kentucky State Police are CONTINUING to call my @GiveSendGo for the family of fallen Trooper Phillips a βscamβ
Despite KNOWING Iβm in direct contact with Mrs. Phillips, and she controls the funds.
Theyβre hellbent on their foundation being the middleman, rather than the money going directly into Mrs. Phillipsβ account.
I donβt really care how Mrs. Phillips receives donations as long as the money actually GETS to her.
But thousands of dollars are about to be lost by Mrs. Phillips, because donors to my fundraiser are being told they were scammed. So theyβll charge their cards back.
This really needs to be corrected, @kystatepolice

π¨ #BREAKING: American hot dog company, W.A. Bean, to begin injecting bugs into their wieners as substitute for red food dye.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Cochineal/Carmine has been used in the U.S. as a red food coloring since before the U.S. was the U.S. The practice started around 700 B.C.
This is not the same as "Eat Ze bugs!"

Tonight's full moon is the Harvest Moon, and it's rising on one of the biggest bird nights of the fall.
About 360 million birds are forecast to fly over the US tonight. The most will be over Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia and Virginia.
The moon comes up right around sunset. After dark, if your sky is clear, point a pair of binoculars at it, hold steady and wait. Sooner or later a bird will fly right across it.
If you can, turn off outdoor lights you don't need tonight. Bright lights pull birds off course when they fly at night.
