Mastadon is a great quirky place but not user friendly. Shame as it has interesting folk on it but clunky

Collective madness has seized that part of US apparatus of state that shadows the rise of the Nazi's. He is patently unfit but guardrails dismantled leaving nobody to stop him.

And the US has the temerity to criticize PRC, NK, Russia et al over state control of media. Gulags will soon spring up in the Dakotas for re-educating people

Conclusion: dig more holes in the ground, bring stuff and sell. Keep putting more money into property. That's about the shallowness of the Aust economy

This is going to lead to a clueless 'Influencer' from foreign countries making a Tik Tok or IG vid. Just not going to end well and that creature is not to blame

From the river to the sea. Israel won't stop now. This is an intermission allowing for Israel to take a breath and then the final push

Land clearance just paused for PR. Netanyahu and Trump bask in reflected glory but the real estate project called Gaza will not be stopped

That undercurrent has been present in the US since the pilgrim fathers set foot on the land. Just needs a trigger to flare up again. This is the future of conservative America. Good luck

Nyaya - Wikipedia

Impossible to answer. My mother is devotional and without understanding worships. I'm on the other wing of philosophy and thought. However she doesn't consider me a hindu as I refuse the blind devotion. Yet both are correct. Like all faiths it is a mixed bag en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyaya

Why has support for One Nation surged since the election, and will it last? Polling has support for One Nation somewhere between 10 and 14 per cent, much higher than during the federal election.

Devotional Hinduism is grounded in the supernatural. Personally cannot fathom that at all but for large parts of India, it's a central part of their lives.

My lot, Hindus, developed in the Indus Valley way back. No single root and its a hodge podge of superstition, ritual and huge differences between regions. For me it works best as an intellectual philosophy rather than worship of idols and devotion.
