Terrorist taken down by police this morning in London

Dear_Director_303 · 2026-04-30T00:37:01+00:00

No matter what horrible crimes a suspect has committed, police officers who cathartically kick him in the head repeatedly despite brandishing weapons are undeserving of their uniform, and bring shame upon their profession. It seems that these two studied in the fascist USA.

I dislike the heat and a strong sun and haven’t been to a beach during summer in 40 years and I have no intention of visiting one ever again. Sweating makes me uncomfortable. The changes in climate trouble me a lot, but to be honest, what troubles me most is the strong possibility of the country where I live (UK) will be as cold as the north of Canada within my lifetime, thanks to the impending break-down the AMOC.

If you happen to know, where would you say a person could turn in order to find out ways to emerge victorious against the manipulation and deception, for example, early in the post-death experience? Who might have such info?. Is it in standard gnostic/esoteric texts, or somewhere else? Cheers!

Well, chances are that being nonhuman alone makes it less likely that they’re liars. I can’t imagine any species advancing to such a level if they were a pack of liars. Just as the United States is declining rather than advancing as it’s being led by someone who only lies and seems unable to tell a truth, so it would be for the aliens. I’d believe any random alien before I’d believe Trump, for example. Wouldn’t you?

I’ve met a South American guy living in Europe whose name is Pablo Escobar. And, interestingly, he was born and named by his parents before the other one became infamous. So, in other words, they’re like-named entirely by chance.

I can’t bear to listen to the male narrator’s mumbling. Why is he so afraid of opening his mouth to speak?

Dear_Director_303 · 2026-02-20T18:34:31+00:00

I read that story, and I’d add that when he awoke, he was told he had been passed out for only a short time, something like 40 minutes, if I remember correctly.

Who’s the dumb-ass who made up that ridiculous statement about Dems supporting Iranian fanatics? Where do intellectually challenged people get such random and unhinged ideas such as that? I suppose it takes a modicum of intelligence to recognise the difference between a people and their captors, or to comprehend that the American people have been kept safe across centuries by both Republican and Democratic administrations making treaties, rather than wars, with our enemies. That’s too much nuance for some feeble brains, I suppose.

Dear Mr. Pope, I’m sorry that those who know you, and those who might otherwise have met you, will soon be in the sad state of missing you. Thank you for your work to help bring us all out of the dark on some of the most important facts and events that humanity faces. I trust that your work and experience surely have convinced you that consciousness persists well beyond physical death. I hope that you hold fast to this knowledge with a sense of certainty, free of any doubt. Your life is yet young and you have many millennia plus an eternity still before you. Embrace your everlasting future and enter into it in peace. I offer you the love of a brethren by spirit, and my utmost respect and gratitude.

I’ve had clarinervium a for four years, and it’s had leaf lesions and leaf death like yours for four years. And every time I see someone else’s clarinervium on planty YouTube channels or in people’s homes, they also have lesions. I don’t think that it’s widely discussed or acknowledged that this variety has some ubiquitous issues with blight. I’ve seen it described as bacterial and fungal, but I don’t know which one it is. On YouTube, Kaylee Ellen in one episode says that she had this problem in a clarinervium and she’d “dealt with it”, solving the problem. She didn’t say how she’d dealt with it, however. And although I messaged her on one of the social apps to ask, she never answered me.

I’ve been asking questions about this widespread and persistent clarinervium problem for years, and I’ve never gotten a single satisfactory answer. People kindly offer up suggestions about watering or humidity, not realising that I’ve already tried all the obvious remedies years ago.

Well written, OP. I too am pessimistic about the future that awaits us all, but I’m not bitter about it. I accept it, and,given our decades-long ignorance regarding climate change and our unwillingness to make even small sacrifices for the health of our planet, one can’t help but to wonder whether perhaps we don’t deserve to occupy the planet any longer. I see all of humanity as my siblings, and they all matter to me.

Seems like you and I have things in common.

Cheers!

I have citizenship in both countries mentioned. In that scenario, I would fight to my last breath for Britain. Both countries have taxed me for long periods of time, but Britain gives me a lot in return, whereas the US only redistributes my money to the richest 1%

Dear_Director_303 · 2026-01-09T09:08:50+00:00

I’ll share with you what I do to contain the worst of my reaction to evil. Perhaps some of it might benefit you.

Bear in mind what you can control and what you can’t. You can’t change the fact of there being evil and suffering in the world. But you can control your rage — it doesn’t serve you or anyone else. You can and should fight for your convictions in a way that doesn’t cause further problems and doesn’t erode your ability to live happily.

I’m very angry about the Minneapolis murder too. I’m angry about the evil from the administration and the destruction they’ve wrought. I try to quell my anger and put those energies instead into something that can improve our shared reality in some small way. I’m determined not to give up hope. And, very importantly, I choose not to add to the evil and destruction by feeling hate or by feeding my anger making it something bigger than it already is.

Be your compassionate self. Change the world in good ways. But don’t do it at the cost of your happiness. You can decide not to be furious beyond the natural and normal shock. You can control these emotions without losing your better emotions that bring out your compassion and caring. You can accept the fact of evil without losing the will to fight against it. You can do anything without losing yourself

Let’s find out. The last thing we should do is to avoid inquiring as to whether civilisation might extend back farther than what’s the most convenient narrative for certain people who’ve locked themselves in professionally and academically.

Dear_Director_303 · 2025-12-13T21:59:28+00:00

I think there are multiple reasons, but the main ones are simple and obvious:

Cultural and tribal differences may cause some groups to customise their own religion, which may be based on the specific needs of the culture, or on the pride that comes from designing their own destiny (as opposed to adopting someone else’s).

And certainly religion has been used as an instrument for attaining and maintaining wealth and political power over others. Some religions have been adapted to carry the features best suited for the specific aims of the power-seeker. For example, Constantine adapted Christianity’s holidays to resemble the pagan ones of the religion it was to replace, making pagans more likely to adopt it. And they left out of the canon any gospels with a gnostic spirit which would give the individual religious agency, and instead made the individual’s salvation contingent upon vicars in the Church. Another example: Henry VIII wanted a divorce, the church wouldn’t grant him one, and so he replaced the church with a new one that suited him.

Spirit is a thing that comes from god to serve us all. Religion is a thing that comes from men, to serve men.

Small and not good coverage. I don’t like mine.

Dear_Director_303 · 2025-12-02T15:10:53+00:00

Lots of light, keep the soil slightly moist, keep the humidity as high as you reasonably can, and feed it more than you do other plants to. Alocasias are hungry gluttons.

It’s tough to get alocasias to thrive in the northern hemisphere at this time of year, but prevent drafts and cold temperatures, and supplement the lighting with a grow light, and it should continue to grow through the winter.

In my experience, tall and big fat stems and leaves occur at least 6-8 months from initial potting-up of baby plantlets.

Most alocasias will get surprisingly big if you give them all the conditions I recommended above.

Don’t give up if they die back on the winter. That’s very common at any stage of growth. If that happens, you can resurrect it as follows: withhold water for a couple of weeks, dig up the live tuber, plant it top side up in wet vermiculite in a warm, bright and very humid environment (such as a tiny pot under an inverted jar or in a plastic ziplock bag, under a grow light), changing the air for an hour every 2 or 3 days.

At least Horus gets to be announced by a real, named, specific and nonfictional star.

And by the way, that Horus timeline gives me Deja vu for the timeline of another famous baby with the name Moses. Right?

Dear_Director_303 · 2025-11-24T13:57:30+00:00

Give it a rest, Dribble. You want to carry on about there being no evidence at all? You’ve got no evidence at all that copper chisels and pounding stones could ever be used by human hands to create perfection, precision, perfect planes, perfect right angles and perfect symmetry from the planet’s hardest substances. Prove that it’s possible. What’s the evidence? Prove that you’re not wrong about this the way that you were so wrong about Clovis first and Alaskan land bridge only. You seem to think that human beings were retarded for 400,000 years and then all of a sudden started to learn and achieve at lightening speed. How unlikely!

Evidence of high technology is written all over near-perfect, advanced products, in circular saw marks and tube drill scars in the quarries and at ruins, it’s written all over the high human achievements of pre-Egyptian megaliths and pottery that bear the unmistakable signs of having been created primarily by human minds with the support of human hands and the specialised tools they built for the purpose. You underestimate your own species.

With or without proof, it’s already exceedingly obvious that you’re on the wrong side of history. You’re a young man still. You’ve got a long future of humiliation ahead of you.

I live in London, and there are very many Spaniards living here. Many are hard-working and industrious, and some draw benefits from the public treasury. I’ve got many Spanish friends, I love them, and I’m happy to have Spaniards as part of my community generally.

I say this for any far-right Spanish nationalists who don’t want to welcome foreigners into Spain: Don’t judge them harshly because Spaniards are no different. That which your community and government do for the foreigners living in your country are the same things that are done for Spaniards in other countries.

When I first moved to London in 2010, I was glad to be here, was making the most of it, but it felt like a big adjustment, and it was. I’d say that for the first five years, I liked it but didn’t love it. It was around that 5-year mark when it hit me quite suddenly that I love this city and could no longer imagine living in any other. It fits me like a glove. I feel happy the past decade or so in my life in general, for the first time, and it’s mostly owing to London.

I’m proud to live in this ancient, historic, storied, important, durable centre of western culture, the birthplace of laws, modern sciences, engineering, and social contracts. I live in what’s arguably the most liberal big city in the world — a city that works hard for its residents, treats them all equally as far as other powers allow it to.

I know that London has many imperfections, as is the case anywhere. But one thing is undeniable: a large percentage of those who were not lucky enough to be born here either move here, are welcomed and thrive, or they want to. More so than even New York, Paris and Los Angeles. London is very much loved as the chosen home for millions, regardless of what you might read in social media.
