What happens when the truth is inconvenient? Too often, institutions—whether in sports, schools, or workplaces—respond not with action, but with silence. #Emberhart #Psychology #Denial https://podcasts.apple.com/fi/podcast/emberhart-podcast/id1784530203?l=fi&i=1000720700119

Afghanistan. An unnecessary disaster. From the days of the Russian invasion and western (primarily US intervention - remember the ground to air missiles that ‘fell’ into the ‘wrong’ hands?), then the invasion, another long lived disaster (I saw it first hand) and now this.
Does the incompetence and subsequent coverups (see dates) of the British government know any bounds? Not even good covering up.

Amnesty: TikTok continues to expose young people to suicide-related content
TikTok denies the validity of the human rights group's report.
The Five Phases of an #Asexual Person in #Denial:
1) Denial: "Asexuality is an invention by the woke marxist SJW mob. Absurd!"
2) Anger: "How DARE those crazy #ace activists affirm my feelings!"
3) Bargaining: "Okay, I may not have had sex or any such feelings towards anyone, but I'm definitely 100% heterosexual. Sex still weirds me out, obviously."
4) Acceptance: "Okay, I’m ace."
5) Anger: "Down with allonormativity!"
(any similarity to my life is a COMPLETE coincidence 😉)
The most baleful mischiefs may be expected from the unmanly conduct of not daring to face truth because it is unpleasing.

A quotation from Judith Martin
Part of the skill of saying no is to shut up afterward and not babble on, offering material for an argument.
Judith Martin (b. 1938) American author, journalist, etiquette expert [a.k.a. Miss Manners]
“Miss Manners,” syndicated column (2014-11-04)

Not Me (Telegram Sticker)
Yes I enjoy studying disasters, especially nuclear ones … but this was not me! It was a very pretty button … but it still was not me!
This was a gift from Loupy.
