"The reservoirs that were struck provide drinking water to more than 20,000 residents in the city of Kouhestak and 10 surrounding villages. WANA reported initial estimates for damages amounting to $780,000 to $830,000.

Iran was already facing a multiyear drought and decline in precipitation before the US-Israeli war on Iran started. After years of poor agricultural practices and mismanagement, Iran's main water supplies, including its reservoirs, rivers and groundwater reserves, continued to run dry.

According to Aqueduct data from the World Resources Institute, which tracks global water risk, Iran's baseline water stress is classified as "extremely high" " meaning the country uses more than 80 percent of its renewable water resources in a typical year."

As boomers die off, their kids, Gen X, elected Trump a second time.

Not to diminish 5 year olds, but he sounds like one.

"Meanwhile, Vance told CBS News that a deal would "absolutely" come before November's critical midterm elections.

"Look, I think that the deal could happen in the next week, but the deal could also happen months from now," Vance said.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters Wednesday afternoon that U.S. Central Command will be "busy" Wednesday evening "because President Trump said we will be hitting Iran hard and we will be."

OK, they all sound like 5 year olds.

Thanks, Trumpers!!

;p ha... I'm afraid I'm a bit out of practice, thought a couple of years ago I did try a psilocybin micro dose, which was, um, interesting, but nothing like back in the day.

- how much acid have you dropped?

I took one of my Finals psyche tests, a 400 multiple choice question test with paragraph long questions and answers, after I thought I had peaked on some Orange Barrels (or something) from the night before.

Walked in sat down, put my pencil to the paper, it flashed a bright light, and I said, "Rut-ro"! Looked at the first 4 questions, couldn't make heads or tails of the questions or the answers.

Then, next thing I knew I was coming down again for real, and handing in the test.

I just knew I had screwed up badly. A couple of days later the results were posted; I missed the first 4 questions and got all the rest right!

I would consider that in a controlled study or treatment center. Some of the success in small studies is impressive, but the process needs monitoring.

"Chronic neuroinflammation plays a significant role in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis associated with a decline in cognitive and mood function. Currently, there are no effective therapies to alleviate the progression of brain dysfunction in AD.

Psilocybin, an FDA-approved drug for treating major depressive disorder, can restrain neuroinflammation and improve hippocampal neurogenesis. Therefore, the current study investigated the efficacy of psilocybin treatment in slowing down cognitive decline in 5x familial AD (5xFAD) mice."

Conclusions
Psilocybin treatment can maintain better brain function in an AD model without affecting amyloid-beta plaques. Improved brain function is likely due to psilocybin-induced reductions in neuroinflammatory signaling, enhanced hippocampal neurogenesis, and preservation of synapses."

Complaining about how it damages his moral compass when there are rumors about Dem candidates 'abusing women'... while daily pimping for a convicted finger rapist is... just another hypocritical day for Jeffy in Trump World.

- because REPUBLICANS blew up the mideast in the early 2000s.

'Strewth!

And before that it was the Chicago Boys in Latin America establishing the same kind of Elitist Rule in South America that Project25 is doing here now:

"The "Chicago Boys" were a highly influential group of Latin American economists"predominantly Chilean"who studied at the University of Chicago under free-market pioneers like Milton Friedman in the 1950s and 1960s.

They spearheaded the region's right-wing economic shift by implementing radical, free-market policies, including deregulation, privatization, and state-sector shrinking."

NW!

from the Nat Inst of Health study linked above:

"Conclusions and perspectives

Recent strides in utilizing psilocybin for the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders exhibit considerable promise.

Psilocybin holds potential for conferring distinctive advantages in terms of neuroprotection and cognitive enhancement for individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) through mechanisms such as neuroplasticity, inflammation regulation, and enhanced neuropsychology.

Furthermore, the antidepressant and anti-anxiety effects of psilocybin may signify substantial advancements in addressing the mental well-being of patients with neuropsychiatric conditions associated with AD.

Nonetheless, it is imperative to recognize that a substantial journey lies ahead before psilocybin can be judiciously and efficaciously employed in AD patient care."

One of the things they describe doing is to try to separate the hallucinatory effects from the effective therapeutic effects than tend to act like antidepressants which adjust levels of neurotransmitters like serotine; they act as the same 5-HT2A agonists or antagonists.

- it's all binary with you

Considering the source, that reminds me of a story about a blind man and an elephant....

In college, we found Psilocybin 'shrooms in east TX pastures under dried cow patties; much calmer than acid, and my best comp is living in a Roger Rabbit movie.

And the cows didn't mind, but sometimes the farmers did!

Of course, I was just experimenting for my psych major... that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Here's the original study for the article... it's not a, 'systematic investigation', but it tends to point towards one being warranted.

Does making excuses for Fascists pay you well?

You should let other Trumpers in on this scam.

- 10 percent

This is like DJT's Limbo Dance... how low can you go and still be standing?

Yes, but Billionaires were able to pay for additional yachts and jets from the Big Ugly Bill, and writing off their uses has never been better!

To top it off, doing this on the backs of the poor and middle class is just icing on the tax cake.

Trumpers thinks this is 'Murica!

From that pic, looks like DJT also loaned Xi some of his Orange Glow makeup!

He's been busy trying to make the countries on the Most Corrupt List Great Again.

Thanks for giving us Trump!

The ones than ran it up aren't the ones who are suffering.

And Gen Blaming is counter-productive... and can easily be spread around:

"Data from exit polls following the 2024 presidential election provides insights into how different generations cast their ballots.

Exit poll data indicates the following general trends:Generation X (Ages 45"64):
This generation showed strong support for Donald Trump.

Baby Boomers & Silent Generation (Ages 65+): Older voters were closely divided between the candidates.

Millennials (Ages 30"44): This group leaned slightly away from Donald Trump

.Generation Z (Ages 18"29): Younger voters generally favored Kamala Harris, but there were shifts compared to previous elections."

I see that the poster john s apparently isn't cognizant of the fact there are many more votes for such things as Campaign Finance Reform and killing tax breaks set up for only the very wealthy on one side of the Aisle than there is the other.

Either that or he's playing stupid... and I doubt he's playing.

- evidence

You may have to spell that for him....

I said from the start that there are no 'Good Guys' in this fight between cousins.

What I never said is that they are equally genocidal; the anti-Israel nations and groups they have funded for decades of attacks, including terror attacks, however, have mostly been retailers.

Israel is become a wholesale genocide operation. Both sides suck.

"Polling indicates that 62% to 64% of the total Israeli public (and 76% of Jewish Israelis) agree with the statement that "there are no innocents in Gaza"

THIS is what NYC gets for BOOING King Trump mercilessly all around the City while he was going to sporting events.

"Game of Thrones author: Donald Trump reminds me of Joffrey

"They have the same level of emotional maturity," says George R.R. Martin.

"And Joffrey likes to remind everyone that he's king. And he thinks that gives him the ability to do anything. And we're not an absolute monarchy, like Westeros is. We're a constitutional republic.

And yet, Trump doesn't seem to know what that means. He thinks the presidency gives him the power to do anything. And so, yeah, Joffrey is Trump."

- Did JC unfriend people over politics?

Yeah, pretty much:

"Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."

"And then will I declare to them, I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness." -

Matt 7 excerpts

"The Oriente fault zone is located just off Cuba's southeast coast and has unleashed damaging earthquakes in recent centuries, including a 7.7-magnitude quake in January 2020 in open waters that caused damage in Cuba and the Cayman Islands."

The focus on Working People dimmed when Republicans made Money into Speech, Corporate Personhood into Law, and voters as afterthoughts to Campaign Financing.

Until that changes, expect more of the same; Dems can't unilaterally completely disarm from corporate financing until Republicans are forced to do so.

That's the real world.

- Christians is why you hate gay people, trans people, immigrants, Muslims, blacks, and women.

Faux-Christians... obviously JC said he never knew people who did any of that.
