I don't need this bra! It's so restrictive, oppressive
(Saturday Night Live) Weekend Update: National No Bra Day; the price of the American Dream rises to $5 million; oldest men in the country
Do I really need any underwear?
No Bra Day is an annual observance on October 13th when women are encouraged to go braless as a means to encourage breast cancer awareness.
No Bra Day was initially observed on July 9, 2011, but within three years it had moved to the 13th day of the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is October.
Users on social media are encouraged to post using the hashtag #nobraday to promote awareness of breast cancer symptoms and to encourage gender equality.
Some users on social media sites also encourage women to post pictures of themselves not wearing a bra.
Some women embrace No Bra Day as a political statement, whereas others prefer the comfort of discarding what they view as a restrictive, uncomfortable garment.
The observance has spread worldwide. The event was spun off a medical event in Toronto, Canada, that encourages breast cancer survivors to consider reconstructive surgery.
I'm the new Parton. I should be spokesperson
First held on October 19th, 2011, the medical event was named BRA (Breast Reconstruction Awareness) Day. It was adapted by an anonymous individual who conceived of No Bra Day as a way to encourage women to enjoy being braless and to become knowledgeable about breast cancer symptoms.
The day is controversial as some see it as sexualizing and exploiting women's bodies while at the same time belittling a serious disease. More
(Hollywood Chuckles) 18 minutes of Sydney Sweeney and Aubrey Plaza making everyone
Free the nipple is a topfreedom campaign created in 2012 during pre-production of a 2014 film of the same name [1, 2]. The campaign highlights the general convention of allowing males to appear topless in public while considering it sexual, suggestive, or indecent for females to do the same and asserts that this difference is discriminatory, contravening women's rights. The campaign argues that it should be legally and culturally acceptable for women to bare their nipples (a mammalian feature everyone has) in public [3]. More

(Pantheon Mythology) Goddess Inanna (Ishtar, Aphrodite, Venus, the Goddess of Love and War) was older than God, so the Patriarchy made inverted her and made her the demon named Astaroth to erase and expunge her, making room for the Jewish tribal God Yahweh (Jehovah, Demiurge, Yaldabaoth...)
Inanna [a] is the ancient Mesopotamian Goddess of War, Love, and Sex (the Aphrodite and Venus of olde). She is also associated with divine law, political worldly power, sensuality, and procreation (fertility).
Originally worshipped in Sumer (by the Sumerians), she was also known to the Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians as Ishtar [b]. Her primary title is "The Queen of Heaven."
She was the patron goddess of the Eanna temple at the City of Uruk, her early main religious center. In archaic Uruk, she was worshipped in three forms:
Morning Inanna (Inana-UD/hud),
Evening Inanna (Inanna sig),
Princely Inanna (Inanna NUN).0
The first two reflect the phases of her associated planet Venus [5, 6], the Morning Star. Her most prominent symbols include the lion and the eight-pointed star.
Her husband is the God Dumuzid (later known as Tammuz), and her sukkal (attendant) is the Goddess Ninshubur, later conflated with the male deities Ilabrat and Papsukkal. More
(FOX 11 Los Angeles) Wednesday, Aug. 26, 2026: TMZ has reported that English actor and singer Tim Curry has died at the age of 80. Tim Curry -- who starred as the sweet transvestite Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the musical and subsequent movie version of The Rocky Horror Show (1975) and Pennywise among a slew of other roles -- has passed away due to long-term illness that left him unable to walk and clinging to his privacy about his relationships as a confirmed bachelor up until the age of 80.
Curry started his career in the West End production of the musical Hair (1968–1969). He went on to be nominated for the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his roles as The Pirate King in The Pirates of Penzance (1982) and King Arthur in Spamalot (2006–2007).
On Broadway, he earned three Tony Award nominations, his first for Best Actor in a Play for his role as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in Amadeus (1981) and followed by two nominations for Best Actor in a Musical for My Favorite Year (1992) and Spamalot (2005).
Curry received acclaim for his onscreen roles, Rooster Hannigan in Annie (1982), Darkness in Legend (1985), Wadsworth in Clue (1985), the Concierge in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992), Cardinal Richelieu in The Three Musketeers (1993), and Long John Silver in Muppet Treasure Island (1996).
He also took roles in The Worst Witch (1986), The Hunt for Red October (1990), Congo (1995), Charlie's Angels (2000), Scary Movie 2 (2001), and Kinsey (2004).
On television, Curry is best known for having portrayed Pennywise in the miniseries It (1990) and was also nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for playing a family of Hillbillies in Tales from the Crypt (1993). More
Bohemian Grove is a private campground covering 2,700 acres (1,100 ha) in Monte Rio, Marin County, Northern California.
It is the site of many bizarre rituals related to the occult, capitalism, initiation of the rich, influential politicians, businessmen, and other movers and shakers behind the scenes who control the USA. There are other such gatherings, like the Bilderbergers who get more attention. But so far as anyone can tell, The Bohemian Grove is still operating covertly.
Founded in 1878, it is owned by a rich, private "gentlemen's club" called the Bohemian Club. Each year in mid-July, the Bohemian Grove hosts an annual gathering lasting more than two weeks, attended by invited members and guests from politics, business, and the arts [1, 2]. More
Not to be judgmental about those males who have an Oedipal complex, sexually fantasizing about their own biological mothers (like females who harbor an Electra complex), but c'mon. This seems biologically repugnant and gross, not to say it is. Maybe we are just trained by our society to regard it so, as seems to be the case in all societies. There seems something built into the human experience to give us a natural aversion to incest, which may be nothing more than the very powerful "familiarity breeds contempt." If we grow up with someone, see too much of them, it seems natural we are not interested sexually in them. This seems to hold most of the time. There are aberrations, of course. But who is for this? Who is for incest? It is hard to believe that it appears to be such a strong feature of the Judeo-Christian mentality. "Judeo-Christian" is a made-up term, invented for Zionist Jewish Israeli hasbara or propaganda to conflate American culture with Jewish culture on account of shared roots through the embrace of Christianity by many WASPs and Europeans. Jews, particularly biblical ones, may be all right with incest, judging from Bible stories, and a strong patriarchal attitude, but do Christian patriarchs feel the same? Are no children in such families safe? Why would it be more prevalent, or seem to be more prevalent, in the South? (We're looking at you, West Virginia). Is it lack of opportunity? Is everyone related? Is it in the zeitgeist so people just go with it? What is going on?
(Neo Dharmism) Colonialism rewrote Hinduism [all of the traditions found along the Indus balled up and turned into a "religion" by the British, having also been systematized and more or less unified byAdi Shankara-acharya]: Here's what European scholars erased
"Hinduism" (which calls itself the SanΔtana Dharma or "Eternal Truth") traces its roots back thousands of years to Brahmanism (the tradition of the educated Brahmin priestly caste) and the Old Vedic Religion derived from the Vedas.
Kuladevata (Sanskrit ΰ€ुΰ€²ΰ€¦ेΰ€΅ΰ€€ा, Romanized KuladevatΔ, lit. "clan deity," a minor god or goddess) [1], also known as a kuladaivaαΉ (Malayalam ΰ΄ുലദൈΰ΄΅ം, Telugu ΰ°ుΰ°²ΰ°¦ైΰ°΅ం) [2], an ancestral "tutelary deity" in Hinduism and Jainism [3].
Such a deity (devi, deva, devata) is often the object of one's spiritual devotion (bhakti) and is coaxed to watch over one's clan (kula), lineage (gotra), family, and children to protect them from misfortune.
This is distinct from an ishta-devata ("personal tutelar") and a grΔma-devatΔ ("village deities") [4].
A male deity is called a kula-deva and female deity kula-devi (sometimes spelled kuldev or kuldevi respectively, particularly since Hindi drops many of the a's overly used in Sanskrit) [5].
ETYMOLOGY: The word kuladevata is derived from two words, kula, meaning "clan," and devata, meaning "deity," referring to the ancestral deities that are worshipped by particular clans [6]. More

I work for you, Prime Minister. Please, sit down.
(Chase Hughes) March 1, 2026: Iran didn’t slowly become what we see on the news. Rather, it was psychologically taken.
In this episode, Hughes breaks down the real mechanism behind Iran’s transformation: the difference between a people and the system that cages them, how revolutions don’t shift power but shift who gets to use violence, and why fear — not religion — became the enforcement tool.
From a modern, secular Iran in the 1960s and 1970s to a regime sustained by narrative control, surveillance, and compliance rituals, this is a case study in how educated civilizations get hijacked without realizing it.
Let’s dissect the psychological trap that started in 1979, why today’s protests are memory colliding with fear, and the three paths Iran is likely to take next.
This isn’t just about Iran but a preview of what happens anywhere belief becomes mandatory and truth becomes a liability.

“I was threatened, intimidated and hacked” Epstein exposed! | Lucia Osborne-Crowley
Epstein alive and well on Pedo Island 2025
(Dr Myriam Francois) Premiered Nov. 14, 2025: The Tea with Myriam François. From hacked phones and midnight intimidation attempts in Palm Beach to the string of mysterious deaths connected to the case.
From victims fighting to reclaim their stories to a system that still protects the powerful, from the White House to Silicon Valley, this episode is one of the most disturbing and revealing we’ve ever done.
In this explosive new episode of The Tea with Myriam François, investigative journalist and author Lucia Osborne-Crowley pulls back the curtain on the most powerful -- and most protected -- criminal network of our time.
What emerges is a portrait not just of individual crimes, but of a world meticulously constructed to shield predators and punish victims and truth-tellers.
As she reveals, this was a system that spanned [Israeli, US, and other] governments, billionaires, banks, tech magnates, and international elites [including Bill Gates, Prince Andrew, attorney Alan Dershowitz, Israeli minister Ehud Barak].
“This was the largest sex trafficking ring in modern history, and almost no one has faced consequences.”
Let's unpack:
⚠️ Epstein’s alleged “death” – why the official story doesn’t add up ⚠️ Mysterious “suicides” – the deaths journalists ignored ⚠️ Power protects power – elites staying untouchable ⚠️ Media and myths – victims blamed and silenced ⚠️ Abuse psychology – the manipulation behind it all ⚠️ Maxwell trial – what the courtroom revealed ⚠️ Survivor stories – trauma, resilience, and humanity
As Osborne-Crowley puts it: “Power protects power. It always has.” And this case isn’t just about Epstein — it’s about the systems built to shield people far more powerful than him.
