**I want to apologize to the whole community, sincerely, for my recent behaviors over the last 4 months.**

If i have been rude or even short tempered with any of you my apologies you likely did not deserve it. Read on if you'd like to know the story and you can decide if I should be forgiven or not.

I know several months ago I made a similar apology, and this may fall on deaf ears, but I hope some of you will hear me out.

First off my last apology came at the face of an Israeli mob death threat on both me and my family. That added a lot of stress at the time and certainly led to me being a bit rude with some people, not an excuse but I do want to rehash it a bit for context. Many of you have noticed since then I do not go out without an open-carry weapon on my hip, this is why.

That said that is not the source of this apology but it is loose related.

I have been dealing with some health issues that, while not life threatening they have severely limited me in some ways. Specifically a very severe sleep disorder. The sleep disorder, and a brain fog that made it very hard for me to think and function normally. In and of itself these werent the root cause, there were underlying issues. But my attempt to treat the symptoms (since the underlying causes we unknown) actually led to a worsening of symptoms long term despite providing some help in the short term. I will explain.

Most of my life I had ADHD as a diagnosis, but it had never been a hindrance to me, in fact I saw it as something that improved my intellectual abilities overall. However this diagnosis allowed me to receive an adderall prescription to try to address the sleep disorder and brain fog, not to treat the ADHD directly, which I have been on for about the last 4 months. It was a low dose (20mg once a day in the morning to wake up). At first it addressed my symptoms with amazing results, but over time it led to a cure to my sleep issue but the brain fog got much much worse. In addition to that my irritability when interacting with people was worse and I have been quite dis-tempered with some of you, and I am deeply sorry for that if this describes you. It certainly continued to cure the sleep issue however and since normal sleep is needed for me to do my work i felt i needed to continue.

Recently however I decided to take matters into my own hands and stop relying on doctors. Instead I got labs through shady means to test for things doctors were dismissive of and wouldnt in the past let me get authorization to have tested. Namely my testosterone levels, thyroid hormone levels, and various blood sugar indicators. These tests revealed three underlying issues: 1) A severely low T-level (so low the tests couldn't even register trace amounts) 2) An extremely high Thyroid-stimulating hormone, 3x above the maximum normal range 3) metabolic disorder causing blood sugar and insulin irregularities (which likewise led to extreme runaway hunger).

At this point I found a doctor who was finally willing to listen to me, armed with a mountain of ill gotten blood tests and managed to convince her to test me properly for verification and finally treat my underlying diseases.

As of about a week ago I started treatment for my underlying diseases, needing to take injections of about 3 drugs, soon to be 4. Knowing that the root cause could finally be addressed I figured around the same time last week I could quit both the adderall and the sleeping medication entirely. Now that the underlying treatments are starting to work, and the old treatments out of my system I feel the best I've felt in years. I already lost 16 lbs, my brain fog has mostly evaporated, and while my sleep is still recovering it was quite improved last night... So while i have a ways to go to be 100% I am already back to my old self, how I used to be before the brain fog began. and certainly doing better than I was doing even 6 months ago.

I will do my best, going forward to treat you all with the respect and due consideration you deserve. Again my apologies.

So its done! I finally released a fairly easy to install (from scratch) Hugo based Static Site generator with full ActivityPub support.

It has step-by-step instructions on how to set it up for your own blog or static website.

One of the coolest features for me, other than having your static site blog posts show up as posts in the Fediverse is the support for interacting with those posts. Any replies you leave, likes, or boosts will show up in the "comments" section of the website on the page associated with the post. How cool is that!

To help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same. Add to the post.

So I got the raw 3d MRI source files from the hospital. Then I got the software needed to view the MRI in 3d. It let me rotate, slice, and even colorize the images. So **I** generated these images from the raw MRI. It shows my kidney, heart, and skeleton from 4 different angles fully colorized. How cool is that!

I also included some of just the heart and kidneys on its own from the same scan.

If you think Biden pardoning his own son is a good thing because it will piss off Republicans, you might be blue-MAGA.

I wanna be oppressed so bad though.... Lol

Putin's plan step by step:

1. Convince americans it is a two party system
2. Control the democrats and hide it to make it seem like they are the good guys.
3. Control the republicans and make it obvious enough that people think they are the bad guys.
4. Let the Americans fight and no matter who wins its Russia
5. Profit!

His plan has worked out perfectly, even now the people fighting "against" it are still fighting for him because of #1.

"My skepticism about the authors' claim that the genome of 𝘛. 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘯𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘢 is localized in mem­brane-bound compartments ─ which they call "pepins" ─ stems from the fact that their techni­cally excellent EM images do not show a continuous membrane, at least not in one focal plane (Figure 4, F+G)."

Those giant white hair looking things. Each one is a **single cell** bacteria. It is the largest bacteria known to man with each cell growing up to 2mm. You can see them with the naked eye and they are even strong enough to be picked up.

They are also unique as they are the only bacteria where the dna has a nucleus like membrane around it.

Friend: He has no soul. Gingers have no soul!

Me: Of course they do. The real problem is that none of them are his.

Just a reminder, that in the UK ideas, thoughts, and knowledge is illegal. I guess it's the logical next step once you make guns illegal. All about preventing that harm right?

@gwynnion

> haven't been used as a major form of trade control since the 19th century

Under Biden:

"China is also flooding global markets with artificially low-priced exports. In response to China’s unfair trade practices and to counteract the resulting harms, today, President Biden is directing his Trade Representative to increase tariffs under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 on $18 billion of imports from China to protect American workers and businesses."

We just going to ignore the fact that Biden literally increased the exact same tariffs earlier this year?

Police have "Black Ops Sites" where they take prisoners to be tortured.

Here is an article from 2015 reporting on the existence of such sites with thousands of detainees, american citizens:

Important PSA:

Being a pacifist doesn't mean you'll never throw a punch.

It means you'll never throw the first punch.

You should always do your best to throw the last punch, pacifist or not.

@JapanProf

Here you're promoting conspiracy theories that just don't add up. Somebody is misleading you and you should stop listening to them.

Billionaires bought the Supreme Court? Well that doesn't make sense considering the Supreme Court ruling against billionaires over and over.

Thanks to technology billionaires no longer have to fear angry mobs? Well that's going to be news to the billionaires getting attacked physically and also losing market share to movements coming out of tick tock.

Somebody is feeding you some lies here, and you really should stop listening to those people.
