Spiritually he’s always been middle aged and gay.

Nevertheless, despite some of his loathsome views I remain a fan of the music, since the music itself is not loathsome.

But most of his music is not racist at all. In fact that’s probably that one song. Most of his other stuff is about being a weird middle aged gay man.

Bengali in platforms…

He’s always had the race stances of a white British man of his age. You just weren’t paying attention.

What does it mean “defenders.” Am I a defender if I’ll still go to a concert? Morrissey didn’t start saying stupid things yesterday, he was always stupid. Reading his autobiography which I have done but don’t recommend to others reveals he’s always been a pretentious weirdo without the goods to back it up, expect the musical talent.

what did you think would happen when unelected elites start appointing Commissioners for Truth?

After all, as many were keen to point out during the EU/Musk row, there’s no free speech in Europe so why should there be private speech?

I’ve been thinking about this and it seems developed and developing countries have some kind of an ideological thing against ectoparasitic medications. There’s a common delusion that stuff like lice, fleas, bedbugs, etc, are very rare because everything and everyone is so clean these days.

But it’s not really true. All these parasites circulate, especially now that people travel so much for business and pleasure. Also, none of these parasites really care how clean your body and your house are, all they “care” about is drinking your blood.

I really think if we could get over this wrong idea, and we could start actual government-funded research into effective and safe ectoparasitic drugs for human use, we’d stand a much better chance at ending bedgbugs and other stuff once for all. Environmental treatments have been proven ineffective time and time again. They work for a while and then the bugs develop resistance. We need a way to make our blood unpalatable to them.

If that is true then the only recourse will be antiparasitic drugs. Ivermectin seems to kill bedbugs but not for very long. Fluralaner seems promising.

It’s very interesting that when we treat animals for parasites we treat the animal itself but for humans we believe that something as nebulous as “treating the space” is actually possible.

When the world is ready to actual solve bedbugs it’ll solve them through a pill you take.

There’s no other solution than to treat them the way we did the first time — with DDT.

Bedbug populations are not necessarily increasing but returning to normal pre-DDT levels.

There’s btw no reason not to use DDT. The cancer fear was overblown. Obviously it’s not a substance that should be available over the counter, but there’s no reason why qualified and trained personell shouldn’t be able to use it.
