132·3 months agoWhoa! A Whole 80 days?
Well, you can’t say a former governor got off easy. Those 70 days will be pure hell.
I mean imagine how she’ll feel serving that long 60-day sentence.
She could get out for good behavior, maybe after half of that 50-day sentence.
Of course, the judge might make her serve that whole month so that she can set an example.
That week will probably make her regret what she did.
That’ll probably be the longest weekend of her life.

Thanks for the added information!
Yes. It was trendy, and then dropped. I think of it “Walking Dead” fever. Sort of like the attraction of the CSI series, hospital shows, cops shows, etc.

3·4 months agoI like that the site gives a lot of detail.
Dimensions: Overall: 7/8 x 11/16 x 3/8 in. (2.3 x 1.8 x 0.9 cm) bezel: 1/4 x 1/8 in. (0.6 x 0.3 cm)
So if width is 11/16, that’s 0.68 inches, which this calculator puts as a US size 7.
Your question is broader than you think.
For one culture to have an idea and share it to others isn’t uncommon. Pyramids are in Egypt and Mesoamerica. Giants exist in many cultural myths (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_giants_in_mythology_and_folklore) as are ghosts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ghosts).
You see, an idea that’s communicated is a meme.
" A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme. "

If you’re considering spirit as a soul

TL;DR: So, why does it exist across cultures? It’s a meme.
“Roots” was among the first widely read works of fiction to offer a detailed account of the Middle Passage, the horrific transatlantic journey to America endured by enslaved Africans between the 16th and 19th centuries.
“Prior to its release, the impact of slavery was easy to diminish or deny by those that benefited the most from that system,” said Annastasia Williams, bookshop director at The Bottom bookstore and cultural organization.
6·4 months agoJust as there are Americans who are not enamored with Trump who are not getting the media spotlight, there are Christians reacting negatively. But the media is focusing on the Maga Nationalist Christians. It’s simply more profitable to focus on the extremists.
Here are some examples that the media has only touched on lightly.
“While I’m at it, I’m going to say what I feel right here. I wish the president of the United States would clean up his language. I wish he would stop insulting people. A leader should not give himself to insulting people all the time, and using foul language. And while I’m at it, I’m going to finish: everybody in the White House cusses except two women that say they are born again. But they’re all foul mouthed. Let me tell you what the Bible says: “From the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” Listen, don’t you dare get being conservative mixed up with being a Christian. Conservative does not mean Christian. You can be pro-life, you can be pro-Biblical family, you can be pro-Israel and die and go to Hell. You can be all of that stuff and that does not make you a Christian. Folks, I am a Christian. I am not a white Christian. You’re not a black Christian. I’m not in a white evangelical movement. There’s no such thing as a black church. We are one in Christ. There is neither male nor female. There is neither black, or white, or slave, or poor. We are all one in Jesus Christ. No! Go ahead and praise the Lord! Don’t talk about the people that represent you. They don’t represent me.”

John Piper Under Fire for Referring to Trump’s Re-Election as an ‘Evil’
NOV 7, 2024
He criticized Donald Trump and the Southern Baptist Convention’s response to a sexual abuse crisis. Then he found himself on the outside.
Who is he? Russell Moore was one of the top officials in the Southern Baptist Convention.

During his Sunday sermon, Pastor James Rigby who leads St. Andrew’s Presbyterian in Austin, he noted that people have “mixed feelings” about the shooting but affirmed, “It’s really really important if we are going to be the healing agents of the world to realize that violence is not going to get rid of the problem that we have.”
“I said last week, if violence could have gotten rid of racism, the Civil War would have worked,” he continued. “But if you look at the Bible Belt and the heart of the MAGA movement, it is the Confederacy. The America they want to get back to is the Confederate States of America, not the United States of America.”
The pastor further stressed that “It’s very important that even as we fight for justice, even as we protect each other from this fascistic movement, that we not do to them what they’re doing to the rest of us.

The Bishop of Palm Beach Manuel de Jesús Rodríguez wrote on X on Thursday: “The renewed attacks directed by President Trump against our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, are entirely inconsistent with the Pope’s longstanding witness to justice, peace, and the dignity of every human person.”
Rodríguez has previously criticized Trump’s immigration rhetoric and policies

“I think a lot of moderates, a lot of centrist Republicans and Democrats, are saying, ‘This is not right,‘” Hamilton told Religion News Service. “Whether it’s how we treat immigrants and making people afraid in our own borders, or the rhetoric that comes out of Washington, or cutting programs like SNAP and other programs that affect low-income children and families in America, I think there’s a lot of pastors and a lot of Christians who have just said, ‘This is not us.’”

Edit: inserting dates so that you can see it’s not all recent, but has been going on for years. Yes, I did focus on a lot of the recent ones. And this is not all, I simply got tired of typing. It’s tiring reporting on what the media resists reporting.

84·4 months agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuru_(disease)
Kuru is a rare, incurable, and fatal neurodegenerative disorder that was formerly common among the Fore people of Papua New Guinea. It is a prion disease which leads to tremors and loss of coordination from neurodegeneration. The term kúru means “trembling” and comes from the Fore word kuria or guria (“to shake”).[3][4] It is also known as “laughing sickness” due to abnormal bursts of laughter from the patients.
It was spread among the Fore people via funerary cannibalism.
Mad cow for people.
