Anyways, zombies love to eat brains—this is a metaphor for the process of ideological indoctrination that NPCs like to inflict on free thinkers. I mean that quite seriously: many of my propagandized leftist friends from childhood are incapable of making coherent statements about current events that don’t sound like they were auto-generated by a discount version of ChatGPT that’s been trained only on MSM talking points. Furthermore, they get VERY agitated when you don’t share the same “programming” as them—I believe this is a real symptom of zombification, which I regard as a real condition.

TWEETS!

The 1988 carbon dating used a portion of the Shroud that was rewoven by well meaning French Nuns after a fire in 1532. For those who scoff at French reweaving, my grandmother’s aunt had a French reweaving business that was used by dry cleaners across the country for decades in the 20th century. As a little kid, I remember the magnifying glass which was on an adjustable arm with a fluorescent light that the reweavers used when they patched holes in clothing. (Somebody in the family still has one.) I also remember going to the reweaving shop downtown where the elevator was operated by an older gentleman, and there was a gate across the doorway rather than doors. It really was an art form. Aunt R’s best reweaver, G or Mrs. M, patched a silverfish hole in a kilt for me in the 90s. You’d never see that today.

They also are of the same blood type as the blood on the Crown of Thorns in Paris, and The Sudarium in Spain, and every Eucharistic Miracle known. AB for sure, and I’ve read that the Rh is negative.

And now for the business portion.

Please review our HOST and site owner’s Guidelines for posting and discussion for this site. Wolf is kind enough to put up with *most* of us and our antics after thorough vetting. Violators of the baiting and deliberately attempting to divide the group rules WILL face consequences.

The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Company manners are appreciated. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog out discussions best saved for a wrestling mat. If, for some reason, this site is not available, head over to the UTree and visit the post at the top of the list or the closest rescue thread.

This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion.

THAT MEANS THAT ALL OF US HERE ARE ENTITLED TO OUR OPINIONS AND PREJUDICES, ETC., SO LONG AS THEY CAUSE NO PHYSICAL HARM TO OTHERS OR DOXX OUR FELLOW TREE DWELLERS.

All opinions here are valued for the diversity they bring to the issues, and the shaping of understanding regarding topics for which many of us do not have all information. Correcting the record on any one topic is appreciated.

Be careful in expressing thoughts as we would all like to think well of the rest of the group, and ill-thought out comments have a way of wrecking that for everyone.

Fellow tree dweller, the late Wheatie, gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

  1. No food fights
  2. No running with scissors
  3. If you bring snacks, be sure they are made with bacon

Auntie DePat’s requests as we are all supposedly adults and don’t just play them on TV like the body doubles pretending to be the squatter in chief:

If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.

The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.

Thank you so much for any and all attention to such details. It is GREATLY appreciated by more than one party here.

Psalms 113:1-8

1Praise the LORD! Praise, O servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD! 2Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore! 3From the rising of the sun to its setting the name of the LORD is to be praised! 4The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens! 5Who is like the LORD our God, who is seated on high, 6who looks far down upon the heavens and the earth? 7He raises the poor from the dust, and lifts the needy from the ash heap, 8to make them sit with princes, with the princes of his people.
