I am going to make this into a video short for YouTube. I want your feedback!
1- We admitted that we were corporate Newsaholics and that our bias had become unmanageable.
2- Came to believe that a power greater than bias - called critical thinking - could restore us to sanity.
3- Made a decision to turn over our intentional blatant propaganda and less obvious lazy echo chambers to the care of critical thinking.
4- Made a searching and fearless inventory of the fake news we've produced.
5- Admitted to Twitter, to ourselves, and to Joe Rogan the exact nature of our disinformation, a word we commonly save for those questioning establishment narratives but rarely use for ourselves.
6- Were entirely ready to release our defects of news judgment which include but aren't limited to the following: group think, hubris, moral crusading, identitarianism, lack of time and resources, fear of independent journalism, post-Trump derangement syndrome, character defamation of outsiders, unquestioning trust of bureaucratic sources, regurgitating wires, and basic unresearched stupidity.
7- Humbly returned to a teleprompter, website or social media platform to see where we've removed our shortcomings without alerting anyone so as to paint an illusion that we are trustworthy when in fact we regularly make mistakes.
8- Made a list of persons, issues, and freedoms we've harmed - and became willing to make amends to them all.
9- Made direct amends to such people, issues and freedoms - especially those we've mislabeled conspiracy theorist, misinformation, or extremist in an effort to use our corporate power to silence others.
10- Continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted that we repeat the false presumptions of our peers because it's safer than getting kicked off YouTube for telling the truth.
11- Sought through critical thinking to improve our capacity for truth wherever it may lead, seeking knowledge and the fearlessness to report it, even if that means questioning our archetypal public health patriarch, Dr Fauci.
12- Having had an awakening as the result of critical thinking encouraged by historic public distrust in our industry, we tried to carry this message to other corporate TV Newsaholics, and to practice these principles even if the New York Times writes a smear piece.
Our mini Nubian milk goat, Sundae, gave birth to a boy and girl while we were gone yesterday morning. We've been on baby watch for days and she is such a stinker for having them right after we left for a couple hours! That said, we are always happy to return to good news as there are so many things that go array when we leave. Lily has named the new additions "David" and "Olivia". Both are doing well and as cute as can be.

Here is a short clip from last Sunday's show where Carl DiPiazza of Organic Gut Solution and I discuss how candy and grocery store waste is often fed to cows, from beef to dairy - though I have seen reports that the same can be said for pigs. It is not just surprising to me that candy is fed to cattle with the wrappers included - but that so many mainline agricultural "experts" recommend this as part of a beneficial and cost effective calorie source for cows.
Calories are not just calories - and the same can be said about fish oils - which is why I get mine from Green Pasture. I started taking the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil 15 years ago and it stopped my seemingly endless battle with chronic cavities. They have lots of other great products and you can get 10% off with promo code "ALISON" at check out. https://greenpasture.org/
It would be easy to think Sassy’s behavior is accidental but I’ve watched her for 33-years now and she is excellent at sending messages in her own language. The other day I cleaned the goat stalls and put brand new shaving in them - only to have Sassy go right into one of them and lay a massive poop. Then, after I cleaned that, she pooped again right in the goat feed dish. Any guesses what she’s trying to communicate?
Don’t forget to grab your fermented cod liver oil/concentrated butter oil - which is how I protect my teeth to make sure I can communicate my disappointment with Sassy when she acts like this! 🤣Use promo code “ALISON” for 10% off at check out. https://greenpasture.org/

I have seen his land and where he burns. No way he would cause a problem. He knows what he's doing.
@AlisonMorrow My Easter egger hen has only sporadically been laying the last year or so. I think she’s 4or 5yrs old. Also during the last year or so, she’s become quite the dominant bitch where she’s mounting the other girls. I’ve scolded her many times telling her she’s not a cock. Well this morning my husband and I are out picking blackberries near the roost and hear a cock crowing. We don’t have a cock. Can you guess who it was??? Yep, my Easter egger apparently has a rare condition where her ovary has gone caput and testosterone is taking over. She doesn’t have any spurs but I haven’t fully examined her as she’s being reclusive and hanging out on a high bar.
