Ignaz Semmelweis was a young physician in the 19th century who discovered that there was a link between #hygiene *(basic hand washing)* and maternal mortality rates in hospitals. He demonstrated the link and practically eliminated maternal mortality in #hospitals by implementing strict hand-washing procedures among medical staff. Yet, his discovery was ignored. He was mocked by fellow physicians and eventually kicked out of the medical practice. It'll be years after his death before the scientific community eventually caught up with his idea through the Germ Theory of Disease. #doctors #medicine #germtheory #science https://odysee.com/@Thoughty2:b/the-tragic-story-of-the-man-who-tried-to:c?r=8Tn1fk7M1LRvPdqLBTMWvcxYCcwUFPDY

The UK is really a tyrant shithole ruled by #Israel now 🤦‍♂️ "Since the retrial of six Palestine Action (PA) activists began on April 13, the defendants have been barred under court order from using terms like “genocide” or discussing the target of their direction action protests.

So, turns out there's a fork of #KDE #Plasma that maintains support for #Xorg and #Xlibre. It's called #SonicDE. Good news. I was beginning to think I'll be stuck with Cinnamon after the assholes at KDE decided they'll kill off support for Xorg/Xlibre and force crappy #Wayland on everyone. See them at https://sonicde.org #Linux #desktop #desktopenviroment #kdeplasma #sonicde

"The entire concept of blasphemy exists to criminalize criticism of a belief system. No true claim has ever needed a blasphemy law to protect it. Mathematics does not prosecute skeptics. Chemistry does not excommunicate dissenters. Only systems that cannot survive scrutiny need to make scrutiny a punishable offense." - _[TheeOnlyKi65942 on Twitter] (https://x.com/TheeOnlyKi65942) _ #atheism #atheist #secular #religion #quote #skeptic #blasphemy
