Heresy – Blazingcatfur

Mike Rowe: Learning From Dirty Jobs

Mike Rowe, the host of “Dirty Jobs,” tells some compelling (and horrifying) real-life job stories. Listen for his insights and observations about the nature of hard work, and how it’s been unjustifiably degraded in society today.

While at our local produce farm a couple days ago, the owner recommended this video to me. I’ve been dealing with them for several years but the father/husband, Dan, likes to talk and brought up politics for the first time with me. He & his family & friends are good folks, avid Trump supporters, and refer to liberals as “Communists”. So I showed them Blazingcatfur on my phone, they loved it! Honestly I was surprised because Dan’s wife (nice lady) is a teacher, and that usually means batshit crazy liberal. I think you’ll like this video even though it’s a few years old.

Ontario doctor cautioned by regulators for spreading COVID-19 misinformation

An Ontario doctor has been cautioned by the College of Physicians and Surgeons for spreading misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines and lockdowns that could put the public at risk.

Dr. Kulvinder Gill was issued three cautions for “inappropriate” and “unprofessional” statements she posted on social media claiming that neither lockdowns nor vaccines were necessary.

On Twitter, the Brampton doctor had claimed there was “absolutely no medical or scientific reason for this prolonged, harmful and illogical lockdown,” the college wrote in its decision.

If I lived in Ontario, I’d be switching to her tomorrow.

Hominid Footprints on Crete Could Change Evolutionary Theory For Good

He was not looking for hominid footprints from the prehistoric past. Paleontologist Gerhard Gierlinski, from Warsaw, Poland, was just trying to get away from it all in the summer of 2002 and enjoy the warm seas and soft sands on the Greek island of Crete with his girlfriend.

A researcher at the Polish Geological Institute, he was always ready to take samples of interesting things he spied on vacations, and he traveled with a hammer, a camera and a GPS for just such occasions.

What he discovered along the Mediterranean shores of the town of Trachilos would rock his world and send some researchers who were convinced that humans evolved solely in Africa, into angry denial, resulting in many of them casting aspersions on his jaw-dropping find.

Gierlinski asked colleagues from Poland, Sweden, Greece, the US and the UK, among them Dr. Per Ahlberg, for their opinions on what he saw as human-like footprints that had somehow been made into a flat rock along the shore.

The team of experts came to the conclusion that indeed, the impressions had been made by ancient human ancestors 5.6 million years ago, making them by far the oldest footprints ever discovered in Europe.
