A very much deserved 'Darwin Award' for anyone promoting, or engaging in, this idiotic, dangerous and ultimately futile practice.

What is Bonesmashing? Inside the Extreme Looksmaxxer Technique As looksmaxxing enters our lexicon, the practice of bonesmashingโ€”tapping your face with a hammer to shape your bone structureโ€”is trailing close behind.

Wait they are literally hitting themselves in the face with hammers. Why is everything so stupid. www.gq.com/story/what-i...

Years of neglect left us here, but with better planning, fairer food systems, and climate action, we can still build resilience.

As recently as the 1960s, here in the UK, we had lodging houses with signs posted in front windows: 'NO BLACKS. NO DOGS. NO IRISH.' Chronologically, and numerically, we're very close to the levels of racism, in all majority-white countries, that we're told are a 'distant bad memory from long ago.'

Cookie update. Everything is going well. Working towards getting his vet work done in March so he can be introduced to the other cats in our house. It all depends on the results for his disease testing & his neuter. He's a happy boy right now. Allowing more pets. No purrs yet. Take care friends โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’™โ„๏ธ

I don't know that any social media platform is good for you but the stated intention of the owner of twitter is to make you worse and studies are now showing that he's having some success with that. This isn't esoteric, everyone knows it. So at this point being judgmental about staying there is fine
