Nice, loved that street too!

thankfully we don't have a royal family thread.

But I did find this kind of facinating



“It is little known by the British people that the blood of Mohammed flows in the veins of the queen."

So reads a letter - https://www.upi.com/.../MOSLEMS-IN.../4199529300800/ - written by genealogist Harold B. Brooks-Baker to Margaret Thatcher in 1986. Brooks-Baker was the publishing director of Burke's Peerage, Britain's leading genealogical guide to the Royal Family, who claimed—very plausibly—that the Queen was a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad by way of his daughter Fatima and her son, Hasan ibn Ali. This graphic (courtesy of The Times and The Sunday Times) details the lineage. The link was Zaida of Seville, a Muslim princess who converted to Christianity and became the concubine (and later the wife, possibly) of King Alfonso VI of Castile.

Misinformation with a dose of bogus Doctor names…

read this thread about a study being touted as signed by 400 doctors regarding the dangers of the Covid-19 vaccine

https://twitter.com/KDenkWrites/status/1568608115574145025?s=20&t=FPUMgg8GUFMgveg13TTbrA

TLDR here are some of the "Doctors" how singed this study… (checks notes)

Dr. Ivor Mectin, Dr. Biggus Dickus, Dr. Blow Jobs, Dr. Aluv Disis Boolshet and Dr. Istirfry Yourcat

seems like Space has been moonlighting on creating bogus medical studies..

Is Dr. Blow Jobs accepting  new patients?

if you haven't spent much time in MA and NH, you can't understand the attachment locals have to the dunks.  this is an absolute calamity for these poor retail refugees.

I wear neither red hats nor polos, however, I do have a chin.

welp since there is not an 'only in Arlington'

Got a email from my kids school about a student led walk out today
as well as saying all you need to do is email us and it's ok if your kid joins

I'm all for it, but just is odd "kids plan on cutting class today, but it's ok if you send us an email"

Student walkout? About what?

I guess next students will be barricading themselves in school and taking the school over like they do in Argentina. Sometimes it goes on for weeks…
