We want to see our representatives out there doing exactly what Republicans would be doing if they were in our seat

Here’s the thing though — no one is talking about passing legislation. That is not what people mean when they say they want to see Democrats fight. We’re not stupid people, we’re not ignorant, we’re entirely aware of the fact that Democrats do not have the executive, the Senate or Congress. When we say “Do something!” we are not always talking about passing laws. In fact, we usually are not. What is meant is that we want to see people out there, in the media, on the internet, taking a stand and getting their message out to people. We mean that we want to see attempts to introduce and vote on legislation that we all know is not going to pass, just so people at least know what kind of legislation Democrats would pass if they retake Congress. We want to see them try to pass it over and over and over again, making it a big story every time, the way Republicans once did with their gross anti-abortion bills that, at that time, were never going to pass because of Roe v Wade. And what ended up happening there? They eventually got their way. And we want Democrats to use every parliamentary tactic available to them to slow down the process for Republicans, just as Republicans threw sand in the gears trying to block progress during the Obama and Biden presidencies. Make every nomination, every bill, every motion as much work for Republicans as possible, and use up every last available bit of the short congressional calendar on procedural votes, to slow down the flood of evil legislation and maybe even keep some from getting to the floor. Make Republicans stay in Washington on Fridays if they have to. We know, radical stuff.

Some get super mad about other people liking Bernie Sanders and AOC, because “What legislation have they done? What bills have they passed?” But that isn’t the only thing that matters. What matters more sometimes is leading, it’s influencing, it’s standing up when someone needs to stand up, it’s making clear what you stand for and getting people talking. That’s what “messaging” is. Progressives know that even when Democrats have a trifecta, especially progressive bills are not likely to be passed. But that’s okay, because they are out here trying to create a world where that won’t always be true. That’s what every Democrat needs to be doing right now. CPAC is this week. There is not a left-wing version of CPAC. We can talk all day about there not being a “left-wing version of Joe Rogan,” but what would actually be more useful to us right now would be something like that, where politicians, personalities, activists, etc., can discuss, debate and platform ideas, where people who want to get involved can network and find organizations and like-minded people to get things started with, identify people who should run for office. Something that could be streamed and reported on and from. That’s how you get to the point where you do have a wealth of people with influence. ... We cannot afford right now for Democrats to play the protagonist in Taylor Swift’s “You Belong With Me.” People are not going to suddenly wake up and realize that what they’re looking for has been here the whole time. Right now is the time to be aggressive and to come up with ways to change the conversation in ways that have nothing to do with legislation.

"Shepard?"

"Bzzt- Yes, Commander Moss?"

"Start a new log recording will you? I need to settle my thoughts."

Log Number #14 Cycle: 10 Planet: PNF-404

"Despite exhaustion creeping into my very bones, I find myself unable to rest for the night. I need to note what has been happening- to convince myself that I haven't completely lost it... There is something.... strange about this planet, and for each day that passes the feeling grows even stranger. Small mistakes like misplaced items, something that Oatchi and I are very careful not to do- We have been rescuing for how many years and all of a sudden we can't seem to find where the ropes has been placed? Whatever we lose ends up right back in its proper place hours after we've lost it. Shepard clears it with me each time this happens... Those items have never moved from their spot on the cameras. Our frantic search shows up, all the crew members searching high and low- and we just... don't see them...? ......Ah, I don't know exactly how to explain this one. Oatchi joked that I might be haunted by the glowmin("Some invisible variety we haven't discovered yet!" he said) but I can see it in his face. It's happened to him too. We are all walking around... Something. Stepping to the side in an empty hallway, looking down and over my shoulder as to not bump into...Nothing? I keep feeling like there's something missing on the ship, something I can't quite remember. I've tripled checked my things and asked Shepard to list everything out in our inventory just in case. I just can't shake this feeling that...

-that I feel like I'm mourning... and for the love of everything, I don't know what. It's maddening.

I was ready to push it all to the side and continue the mission. The list of castaways only seems to be getting longer and we can't have campfire ghost stories to distract us! That is until I found a log not written by myself in my tablet...... Hmph. See, this is what's stressing me out so. No one but me has access to this tablet, it should be impossible!

The log is... Well it's creepy! From what I can tell, it's taken phrases from one of our Procedure Manuals("Bzzt- It would be the Distress and Urgency Procedures") and the logs from an unknown writer and spliced them together. I've been trying to make sense of it but- yeah I need the others to see this first. My theories wont help now. I'll have Shepard add it to this log for now, might as well...(sigh) Just what is going on...

Mm, right. I already mentioned this in the End of Day report- but I'm not done rolling this over in my head.

The castaway we picked up today- the one who limped out of that dark tunnel towards us. His clothing- you don't see pilot gear that old anymore, and the- the liquid? that fell off of him... I sampled what I could so I wont know for sure untill tomorrow, It looked like gold. I hope he wont mind sharing where he found a pool of gold to roll around in. It would be nice to be able to cover the cost of all the repairs... (Yawn) Ah- right there we go, ok I'm done for now. Have to get ready for- 'Everything' tomorrow, hope I don't sound too crazy. This is Commander Moss, Sleeping snug like a bug on a rug... (Yawns again) - - - Log Number: +#3@##0?/ Cycleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Planet: PNF-404

S1E20: Darkness Falls

Case: You know it's gonna be a good time when our heroes have to take off their government office clothes and put on some survival gear. Similar to Ice—which we all know is a top tier episode—Darkness Falls sees Mulder and Scully on the hunt to discover what happened to a team of loggers that disappeared in Olympic National Forest up in Washington. (Spoiler alert: Bad things happened to the loggers.) After the discovery of one of the loggers inside of a gigantic bug cocoon��and after the ominous testimony and environmentalist rant of a random eco-terrorist raiding their base for food—our dynamic duo and their episode sidekick NPCs conclude that there's a serious pest control problem happening out there in the forest, and the only thing that will keep them safe is staying in the light. Good thing they aren't stranded, and that Mulder didn't give away all their extra fuel, and that they definitely have more than just one single lightbulb and a sputtering generator to get them through the night. Oh, wait. 😬

Mulder has weird sexual tension with an eco-terrorist; Scully has the Coat of All Time™️ (in my notes, I literally just have the word COAT written down and then underlined); a forest service marshal has had it up to here with these dumb treehuggers; and CGI is once again used liberally, this time to create fluorescent green bugs that suck you dry (and not in a fun way). Let's go on a nice trip to the forest! 

Does someone die in the cold open: Yes

Does Mulder present a slideshow: Yeah boi!

Does the evidence survive the investigation: Nah, the government is destroying that shit posthaste.

Whodunit: Old bugs

Convictions: None necessary

Did they solve it: Yes! Using Ice rules here. The evidence was technically destroyed, but they were able to solve the case before that happened. Also, that quarantine facility doesn't look like a fun time and I feel bad for them, so I'll toss 'em a bone.

[how do i determine if a case is solved? check the scale here: x]

THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY: Giant, ugly, multicolored 90s raincoats on tiny people. Provide decades of delight to people all over the world by wearing a giant, ugly, multicolored 90s raincoat on your tiny, tiny frame. You look adorable. You are also so tiny. Why did you buy your raincoat at Big and Tall??

Even the "NCIS" origin story for Austin Stowell has a Cracker Jack opening.

The impossibly rugged actor, 39, had tried to clear his mind after his February audition for "NCIS: Origins," the prequel series to the CBS police procedural (premiering Monday, 9 EDT/PDT, after the 22nd season opener of the OG series). After all, these were high stakes seeking the coveted role of young Leroy Jethro Gibbs, famously embodied by Mark Harmon for 19 TV glory-filled seasons. Gibbs is the guy in the "NCIS" universe, even after the iconic character retired to fly-fishing in Alaska when Harmon stepped aside in 2021.

So Stowell went off the grid, skiing with Charlie Jennings, his best friend and agent. It was robust bliss, until Stowell received a miracle message on the reception-patchy mountaintop saying Harmon, an "Origins" executive producer and narrator, wanted to talk.

"Mark wanted to speak to me, and you can guess what about," says Stowell, who went ski-hill rogue. "We had to get down the mountain and get reliable service ASAP. We race down that hill, take off our gear, jump into the Jeep, and fly down the highway to get reliable service. And we do. Mark calls. We literally pull off the highway."

Harmon signaled that Stowell would very likely get the role of his younger "NCIS" self in CBS' "Origins."

"Mark was very complimentary. He said, 'It's been you from the second you walked in the room," Stowell says. "And he asked me, 'Are you ready for this?'"

Austin Stowell said after 'Star Wars' casting disappointment: 'Onward!'

Oh, he's ready. Stowell has been prepping for takeoff since earning a guest role in 2010 on "NCIS: Los Angeles" and playing a big-hearted swim champion in two "A Dolphin Tale" movies alongside KrisKristofferson. ("He was an amazing man, talk about a real-life superhero," Stowell says. The music legend died lastmonth at age 88).

Stowell even had a serious run at a major "Star Wars" movie role with J.J. Abrams. He was flown to London's Pinewood Studios and donned the "Star Wars" costume and makeup for a day. But the role went to another actor. "Of course. it's devastating," Stowell says. "This is a wonderful job, but the process is tough. But I always have said the same thing when I don't get a job: 'Onward.'"

Austin Stowell was hard to reach after 'NCIS: Origins' audition: 'So Gibbs'

After his memorable audition, "Origins" executive producers Gina Lucita Monreal and David J. North faced familiar reception issues when they called to officially offer Stowell the role. "He was out in a cabin in the middle of the woods with no internet and almost missed our call," North says. "I got off the phone and said, 'That's so Gibbs.'"

Says Stowell: "One phone call that changes your life. And two phone calls that I nearly missed. But the Hollywood gods were looking out for me."

Monreal says his physical likeness to Harmon was important. But "Origins" places Gibbs in 1991 as a green Naval Investigative Service officer at California's Camp Pendleton, where the former Marine sniper deals with the murder of his wife and daughter. That required a presence that Stowell, who can turn on full Gibbs with one soulful-eyed look, inhabited.

In "Origins," Gibbs is far from the ultra-competent special agent in command. He's an unsteady newbie dealing with his trauma after failing his psychological evaluations. It was this raw premise, based on "NCIS" lore, that made Harmon's son Sean, who had played the young Gibbs in "NCIS" flashbacks, pitch "Origins." (He's now an executive producer.)

Young Gibbs has immediate "Origins" supporters, including Special Agent Lala Dominguez (Mariel Molino) and his eventual mentor Mike Franks (Kyle Schmid), whose power mustache is a scene stealer. "He's electric," Stowell says. "I already joke with him that we are going to see Franks' mustaches at Halloween parties."

Stowell dived into research, reading 1980 U.S. Marine manuals to understand the life and taking long runs with a weighted-down backpack. He stepped up the rifle training he learned in 2018's Chris Hemsworth-led Afghanistan war film "12 Strong" to look silently confident with Gibbs' rifle. Stowell still binge-watches "NCIS" episodes to pick up small mannerisms.

"I want to embody his essence. There are Gibbs-isms," Stowell says. "There is a head nod and he has this stare."

That stare, and Harmon's intense blue eyes, are so pivotal that Stowell wears blue contact lenses over his naturally green eyes. Seeing the world that way changes his perspective: "They make me feel different," he says. "They're such a powerful tool."

Harmon appears near a campfire in the "Origins" opening. The camera zooms up close on his stare, which morphs into Stowell's haunted look.

"It's not the passing of the throne; Mark Harmon has the throne," Stowell says. "If it's the passing of the torch, he lit the torch. It's my job to show how this kid becomes that guy that people admire so much. But I get to play one of the world's greatest heroes. And that's pretty rock and roll."

KING - (SIXTEEN)

**KONIG**

She hasn’t said much to me since our little “incident” in one of my medical rooms. In the west wing of my house, I made the bottom floor my own personal medical operation for situations like this. Also, it makes anyone I decide to bring home and take downstairs easier to clean up. You know, to drag out their purgatory. 

Seeing her sprawled open and helpless for me on the table made me almost lose my control. Made me almost lose my train of thought and ruin what I have in place. Not only is she the most dangerous woman in the world, but she's fucking lethal. She's my poison and I'm her antidote. She just doesn’t know how much we fucking need each other. But she will. 

I wheel her to the east wing of my house - where the “normal” parts of my house is. Where we first brought her. I took her gear and stuff off whenever the second dose of the medicine kicked in and changed her into a pair of black panties and one of my black t shirts. It swallows her and hugs right above her knees. Seeing her in just my t-shirt is making my self control push its limits. She's so goddamn beautiful. 

We stop before the door that leads to the basement. I stand there behind her waiting for her to get up, but all she does is sit there. “Im not carrying you,” I tell her. She's plotting, but I don’t know what she's trying to do just yet. With her, theres no telling. 

“Why?” She says in a tone that seems mocking. “Im hurting.” Yeah, she's got something in mind. Sure, the procedure I had done causes discomfort, but not to the point where she cant walk. 

“You’ve been through worse,” I counter. She huffs as she continues to sit there. “Either you get up on your own,” I say as I bend down and lock the left brake on the wheelchair. “Or I make you get up. You pick,” I finish as I lock the brake on the right. 

Without hesitation, she leaps forwards and runs past me as I'm bent over locking the brakes. A deep growl escapes me from frustration. If she wants a game of cat and mouse, so be it. But she needs to be reminded this is my kingdom and I know our house like the back of my hand. 

She runs of up the stairs and darts left. She's observant since heading left will grant her to the majority of the house. Theres plenty of rooms for sure, but I'm lazy and have cameras set up. But if she wants to play, then by all means I’ll play. 

She disappears out of my sight and I take this opportunity to pull out my phone and click the app to my cameras. She's still running and looking back every so often. She must have some sort of fear of me. Good. 

She takes a right and runs down the long corridor. Theres a few doors that line that hallway, but there’s a door at the very end. She stops there and a grin forms across my face. Even without her knowing this is our house, she somehow found our bedroom. 

My dick strains against the zipper of my pants as I watch her walk into the room and stop. Its big, just like me and everything that surrounds me. I hate to feel confined, but will gladly fall to my knees and surrender to feel her walls wrap tightly around my hard dick. 

I take in a deep breath and pocket my phone. This is going to be better for me than it is for her. Slowly, I make my way up the stairs - making sure I'm light on my feet. I don’t want her knowing where I am just yet. I follow the path she did and as I get to the hallway where our bedroom lies, I stop. 

The game of cat and mouse has always been my favorite regardless who my prey is. Only thing different, this is a hunger that isn’t going away any time soon. This game, is a game where we will both win, but my Little Devil will find that out soon enough. 

I start walking again, but this time making myself known. I want her to feel me when she cant see me. I want her to tremble knowing I'm coming for her and nothing will stop me from getting to her. I meant what I said to her in the medical room. She will bend to me before I'm done breaking her. 

I reach for the door and throw it open - not stepping in yet. My Little Devil is unpredictable and probably waiting on the other side of the door to slit my throat. I wait and listen for a few seconds. I have a feeling where she is, but I don’t want her knowing it…yet. 

“Liebling,” I say out loud in a mocking tone. Just like the one she gave me earlier. “I can smell you.” She's like a scent I cant get out of my nose. I seen the look in her eyes when I had her pinned down by her throat on the table. It was a look of lust and need. She’ll get what she is craving here soon. 

I continue, “If you come out willingly, I wont be as hard on you.”

I see movement out the corner of my eye to my right. She darts out the closet and heads to the door. Unlucky for her, I was a step ahead. I take a step and wrap my hand around her throat and pull her against me. She writhes and thrashes, but my grip is almost cutting her circulation completely off. 

“Get…the fuck…of me!” She tries to scream, but it comes out hoarse. 

I chuckle, “Go ahead and tire yourself out my Liebling. I have all night.” I can feel her body tense at my words. Her chest heaves up and down as she stops her mania against me, but I can tell she still has fight left. 

I bend down just a bit to get close to her ear, “Thats my good girl.” Her body is betraying her as she leans slightly into me. Its not going to be long. 

I turn her around and the fire in her green eyes match mine. Hunger and lust. A grin forms across my face and I'm thankful she cant see it. I lean down and throw her over my shoulder - holding her legs in place. She starts her grunting and screaming as her fits collide with my back. 

“Do I need to tie you up?” I say with the same mockery tone. 

She tops her pitiful attempt against me and freezes. I chuckle and slap my free hand against her ass as we descend the stairs. A small yelp escapes her, “Don’t fucking touch me,” she snarls. My slap caught her off guard. 

“We’ll see about that in the next few weeks,” I reply back. To my surprise, she doesn’t say anything back. 

We reach the door that heads to the basement and start heading down those stairs. I really should have thought about putting a fucking elevator in here. I hear cackling right before we hit the bottom set of stairs and my ears perk up. Its George.

“Either you shut the fuck up or I do it for you,” I hear Three say. I snort. George must be on a roll today. We walk by his cell as I head for the room she was chain up in and I feel her move against me. Probably to look around. 

“I have nothing else to do,” George says as we walk by, “Might as well and anno-.” He stops mid sentence and rushes to the bars of his cell. “Oh my God. Lillith Drawl.” I freeze and judging by how tense she just got, I'm assuming she did too. 

“You’re a worthless fucking whore,” he says in a low tone. “For someone to kill their mother and attempt to kill their father and his brother, I'm surprised you're still around.” 

I can feel her breathing pick up against me. I turn and look at Three and he is looking at me and then Lillith with a confused look. Three turns to George, “How do you know her?”

George throws his head back and laughs, “She's a fucking plague wherever she goes and it all started in the little town of Eldora, Iowa. Ask her,” George says not taking his eyes off her, “Ask her about her first kill.”

Lillith's breathing is almost erratic. 

“Was it worth it…whore?” George says as he presses his face against the metal bars. 

I laugh. Not the funny laugh, but I'm about to fuck this guy up laugh. I set Lillith down and she has a blank look on her face. Fuck. She's disassociating. “Three,” I call. 

Without hesitation, he’s over to us as George rambles on about this new information were being informed of. He gives me a nod and wraps his arms around her shoulders in a hug. Her arms never move and stay by her side. Whatever this fucker said, got to her good. 

I grab the key to the cell George is in out of my pocket and unlock it. He takes a few steps back and I immediately grab him by his throat. “You think you can come in my house and call my girl any name you like?”

Georges face is turning beet red from lack of oxygen. “I was always taught, if you don’t have anything nice to say,” I say as I reach my free hand into the pocket of my pants and pull out my knife. “Then you shouldn’t say it at all.”

I push George back against the wall and remove my hand from his neck and move it to the sides of his jaw and squeeze. The pressure makes his open his mouth and I reach in with my other hand thats holding my knife and grab his tongue. I let go of his jaws and before he has time to react and stab the blade of my knife in the center of his tongue. 

George screams as blood runs down my blade and onto the hilt of my knife. I slide the blade slowly to the right - cutting through his disgusting muscle. The blade works through and now his tongue is hanging halfway. We still have the left to get rid of. Tears stream down his face as his body trembles against the wall. If I heard correctly, he tried to say a few “sorry’s”, but there is no going back after that. 

I grab the rest of his hanging tongue and rip the rest off. His scream goes silent as his body slides against the wall and he slumps to the floor. He’s not dead…yet, but as I promised myself, this is a gift for her and it seems shit got personal. Great for her - but a shit day for him. 

I turn and exit the cell - locking it behind me. Three is still there holding her. I did that so she wouldn’t fall and hit herself. She's definitely experiencing PTSD and the last thing I need is her blacking out and hurting herself. Plus I trust Three and he knows his limits. 

“What do you want to do with her?” Three asks. 

I take in a deep breath, “I’ll get the chains set back up and we can start with her in the morning.” 

My body is vibrating. Tomorrow cant get here fast enough.

SCP#: ALR

Code Name: Final Piece of the [data expunged]

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-ALR has been cut into three pieces, all three pieces are placed inside a glass orb with thaumaturgic sigils preventing each glass orb from breaking. The first piece is placed in a pocket dimensional safe filled with an endless maze where the piece is located in the middle. Only Site Director [Data Expunged by Order of the O5 Council] of Site-[Data Expunged by Order of the Administrator] knows how to pass the maze. The safe in general is protected with an ever-changing trans dimensional lock. The exterior of the safe is coated with Anti-Memetics preventing anyone or anything from ever knowing it exists. The key to the lock has been placed in a location at Site-AD that only the Site Director, Dr. Wicked knows of. 

The second piece has been placed in Site-AG and is locked within a safe that is placed in a 7x7 meter cell. Within the Cell four AFA-2 units armed with laser rifles and their own charging stations stand guard at the four corners of the walls. These AFA-2 units are programed to attack anyone who enters even Foundation staff, only the override code that known only by the Administrator themself can stop this. The walls are engraved with memetics that force the viewer to remember and imagine all sorts of horrific and gross things. Even if they have memetic protection gear inside the safe the glass orb SCP-ALR is trapped inside also has memetics that are specifically designed to short circuit memetic protection technology or bypass non-technology based gear. 

The third piece is located at Site-AN and placed in an experimental dimensional shifting safe. Some aspects of this safe will stay tethered to our reality allowing it to be visible but other aspects will shift to other planes of existence preventing anyone from making physical contact in any way. There is a long and extensive ritual that can force the safe back into our reality but the instructions for said ritual are locked in a safe known only to the Site Director. Site Director Eto also had a key to the safe that he amnestied himself the location of, only entrusting it to an ally only he knows the identity of. This unknown ally is the only one who knows the location of the key to this safe. The safe in question has also been given a failsafe that if it is ever opened forcefully without the key the ritual instructions will disintegrate. 

Any testing with SCP-ALR will be done through simulations, no physical testing is allowed. Testing with SCP-ALR is restricted to all Foundation staff by unanimous vote of the O5 Council, the Ethics Committee, and all Administrative Staff. Anyone who tries to propose testing with SCP-ALR is to be assumed a traitor and interrogated at once. If they are a traitor they will be executed, if not they will be fired and given amnestics, there will be no exceptions. 

Description: SCP-ALR is a small mass of gelatinous golden matter that takes the basic form of a humanoid, only standing anywhere to 9 or 12 inches tall. Its body is able to change shape at will as well as manipulate the chemical structure of its mass somehow able to mimic different elemental properties perfectly. Such observed elemental properties include producing electrical archs, form into crystal hard cubes, form puddles that drown anything walking into it, breaths fire, and can even fly while forming spikes that quickly strike down anything below it. This is unfortunately only when SCP-ALR is fighting fare as more often than not SCP-ALR is extremely ruthless. 

SCP-ALR was discovered in late 2013 and was oddly found on the top of an old tree stump in [data expunged] mountains of Japan. It should be noted this is the exact same location SCP-AEK was discovered back in 2001. A Foundation agent discovered the anomaly entirely by accident when going on a hike with his family. Upon sighting SCP-AEK it was already in its human form just standing there and staring at him. He quickly got his family to leave and reported to the MTF command who deployed a recovery force. This led to a series of horrendous and vile events that only saw SCP-ALR taken down after the deployment of SCP-AEK by order of Site Director James. Please see Addendum X-96 for details

***

Addendum X-96

The following is a list of attempts to contain SCP-ALR.

Attempt 1 - Common Foundation recovery crew consisted of four units one holding a net staff, another holding the containment case, one armed with a shield and baton, the last armed with a shield and pistol. 

Result: Failed - the Recovery crew approached SCP-ALR but upon being caught by the net SCP-ALR went berserk and shot itself through the head of the crew member and quickly shot out at the rest of them, pulverizing their heads in an instant. The entire incident was recorded through their helmet cams and a new method was introduced.

Attempt 2 - Mobile Task Force Hephaestus-10 consisted of six units all armed with retractable shields, shock batons, and a new device that was designed to magnetically lock SCP-ALR. They also carried with them a larger containment box this time.

Result: Failed - SCP-ALR once again shot through them all and destroyed the containment box, none of the equipment had proven effective. 

Attempt 3 - Mobile Task Force Alpha-9 “Last Hope” Commander Charlie Wells, alone with Captain Alexi and a select few who had specialized abilities to suppress anomalous effects were deployed. 

Result: Failed - SCP-ALR immediately went berserk and tried to kill Commander Wells. She tried creating a magnetic gravity bubble around it but the entity kept using its elemental manipulation to adapt every time. In the matter of a single minute Commander Wells and each of her units nearly died hundreds of times due to how fast it was moving and thus she gave the order to retreat. The O5 Council agreed with her assessment and since there were no casualties thanks to her, she was not punished.

Attempt 4 - Mobile Task Force Tau-5 “Samsaura” All five units Irantu, Nanku, Munru, Onru and Victoria were deployed. They were not given their usual overpowered weaponry but instead given dimensional generators allowing them to manifest portals to a pocket dimension to trap SCP-ALR inside for temporary containment. 

Result: Failed: SCP-ALR was trapped inside the pocket dimension a few times but always managed to escape the nanosecond before it closed. Eventually SCP-ALR started destroying the generators making them warp out of our reality. They then tore off limbs of MTF Tau-5 including Agent Victoria. Irantu gave the order to retreat, prioritizing Victoria and the others followed the moment their limbs regenerated to sub optimal capacity. Victoria suffered trauma from the incident and has received help from Dr. Corvio in hopes of recovering soon. 

Attempt 5 - Site Director Nancy James recommends that she herself face SCP-ALR and contain it with her SCP-AEK instances. 

Result: Success: SCP-ALR does not go berzerk upon seeing the SCP-AEK instances but insteads relies more on its elemental properties. The O5 Council revoked the limited 100 population restriction and as a result Site Director James summons and commands over 1,000,000 SCP-AEK instances. She commands them in a grand battle that unfortunately leads to the casualties of 50% of the SCP-AEK instances due to SCP-ALR’s constant shifting of its chemical structure and elemental properties. Though it is finally defeated and tries to slither away, she quickly orders her SCP-AEK instances to grab the bits and hold them separate from one another. Afterwards SCP-AEK is divided into three pieces and placed into three different containment sites. 

***

Because SCP-AEK was the only thing that was able to bring any harm to SCP-ALR it is assumed this is another piece of the fabled [data expunged]. It is with hope that by containing SCP-ALR Site Director James and by extension the Foundation has prevented the apocalypse caused by the entity.

I've already made a post about this outfit but it's so beyond ugly that I need to make another because this is literally keeping me up at night.

First of all. The goth neck brace + funerary radar dish combo. Outfits to give your dog when it has arthritis AND a flea infection. What does Marguerite have against our neck. Is there even a reason for the grey reverse V thing with not one but THREE buttons, one of which is in the INNER part of the cervical collar in an emo phase, or is it just to constantly bother MC? Their chin is gonna chafe and that's just embarrassing. And I do mean their chin because this spinal cord injury contraption is thick enough to reach the very tip of their obnoxiously long jaw. And the button isn't even VISIBLE unless the expectators are going to be sniffing MC's shoulderblades as part of the show. All in all, traumatizing

The pattern on the coat itself makes me mad because it could be something if it... were something, but it's not. Pick. A. Pattern. You can't start with one and then randomly change your mind halfway through, especially when neither of them are good patterns to begin with. It's like she Frankestein'ed her grandma's favorite dish towels and made it silver. Why are there buttons on the lapels (and the neck brace) when the coat doesn't have buttons anywhere else? Why is there a ZIPPER that clearly can't be used due to said buttons, especially when she decided to just hold the coat closed with one of those childrens backpack's handles? And it is clearly TOO TIGHT. This is at least the third CoP2 outfit with a butthole in it, and all I have to say is WHY. Why go out of your way to draw a butthole for your outfit so it looks like it DOESN'T fit right???? This is the fashion equivalent of a stroke simulator

The sleeves are also too long which is just. I mean, seriously. It can't be that hard to locate a wrist and have the sleeve end there. Why is this shit nearly reaching their palm. This isn't fashion this is immobilization fetish gear. Maybe Marguerite is the murderer and she plans to suffocate us with the death belt while we're unable to move our hands and neck. Holy mother of jesus I just realized the turtleneck has stripes. I don't even have the time to unpack that

The cobra ring is just record breakingly ugly. Not to mention big enough to cover MC's ENTIRE KNUCKLE, and everyone knows Choices men have yaoi hands

And then there's the pants. It's like she saw that shoe-pants meme and thought "how can I make this worse". Why would you have zippers that cover the entire leg? Zipping this up would be more effective than most hair removal procedures. A perfect hairless straight line on each leg, just what I've always wanted. And why is it so lumpy? Is MC hiding snacks in their thighs? Do they have leg spikes? WHY would they draw this? Again they're going out of their way to make this seem ill-fitting and weird and then asking us to pay to wear this. It'd make more sense to hold us at gunpoint and demand ransom money to allow us to take this off

In short: Mags, I love you, but STOP FOLLOWING YOUR DREAMS. Go work at IKEA. I can't do this anymore

Greener Healing: Innovations in Eco-Friendly Medical Waste Management

The medical industry has long been a champion of health and safety — but what about the health of our planet? With growing awareness of climate change and pollution, the spotlight is now on eco-friendly medical supplies and sustainable practices in healthcare waste management.

At Plasti Surge Industries Pvt. Ltd. (PSI), we believe the future of healthcare doesn’t just lie in advanced treatment — it lies in responsible choices. From custom surgical kits to medical protective apparel, every product can be a step toward a greener future. Let’s explore how sustainable innovations are reshaping medical waste management, one smart solution at a time.

Biodegradable & Recyclable Medical Products

Disposable items are a staple in healthcare — gloves, syringes, packaging. But when made from biodegradable materials, these essentials become game-changers. Bioplastics and compostable materials break down faster, meaning less stress on landfills and the environment.

Add to that recyclable medical packaging, and you've got a system that not only reduces waste but also promotes circular use. Hospitals and clinics embracing these practices are seeing real impact without compromising safety.

Smarter Kits, Safer Procedures

Think of custom surgical kits as the bento boxes of healthcare — everything needed in one sterile, efficient package. When tailored to specific procedures, these kits reduce waste from unused items, streamline processes, and support sustainability goals.

At PSI, our kits are designed with both safety and environmental impact in mind, making them a smart investment for eco-conscious hospitals.

Protective Apparel That Cares

Safety apparel for healthcare workers — gowns, gloves, masks — is non-negotiable. But what if these were made from sustainable, recyclable materials? Our medical protective apparel collection ensures frontline heroes stay safe, without adding to ecological harm.

Sustainability doesn’t stop at the supply chain; it’s woven into every fiber (literally) of our protective gear.

Tackling Spills Responsibly

Accidents happen. When they involve biohazards, the response must be swift — and safe. Our biological spill control kits are crafted not only for maximum protection but with environmental impact in mind. Designed using less harmful materials, they help contain biohazards without contributing to ecological ones.

Rethinking Waste Disposal

Traditional disposal methods can be toxic — incineration, improper segregation, overfilled landfills. Enter waste-to-energy technology, compostable sharps containers, and low-energy sterilization methods. These forward-thinking solutions allow facilities to turn waste into energy, minimize emissions, and cut down operational costs.

Building Greener Hospitals

Sustainable hospital design is more than just solar panels. It's about optimized layouts for waste segregation, eco-conscious construction materials, and built-in systems for efficient medical waste collection. When institutions go green from the ground up, everything — from safety to sustainability — aligns.

Training for a Greener Tomorrow

Even the best systems fail without educated users. That’s why training healthcare workers in sustainable practices — proper segregation, smart usage, and eco-conscious habits — is crucial. Empowered teams create cleaner, safer facilities and a healthier environment.

Final Thoughts

We’re at a turning point. Medical waste doesn’t have to mean environmental harm. With the right mix of innovation, awareness, and commitment, the healthcare industry can lead the charge toward a cleaner future.

At PSIDispo, we’re proud to offer eco-conscious products that prioritize both patient safety and planetary health. From eco-friendly medical supplies to custom surgical kits, we’re here to support your sustainable goals.

Because healing the world shouldn’t come at the cost of the Earth.

Finding Freedom from Aching Veins: Your Guide to Choosing the Best Hospital for Varicose Vein Treatment

If varicose veins are dragging you down, you’re far from alone. Millions across India deal with this daily. But here’s the truly hopeful part: getting real relief is possible today, often quicker and far less daunting than you might picture. The absolute game-changer? Picking the best hospital for varicose vein treatment in India. This choice isn’t just about fixing a vein; it’s about reclaiming your comfort, confidence, and freedom to move without pain. Let’s walk through, step by step, how you can find that perfect place with confidence.

Why Settling for “Just Any” Hospital Isn’t an Option

Let’s be clear: varicose veins aren’t just a cosmetic nuisance. Ignoring them can sometimes lead down a tougher road — skin changes that sting or itch, stubborn ulcers that won’t heal, unexpected bleeding from fragile veins, or even deeper issues like thrombosis (DVT). Yikes. The fantastic news? Treatment has left those scary, painful old-school surgeries far behind. Today’s gold standard? Minimally invasive vein procedures. Think less cutting, less downtime, better results.

But — and this is crucial — how well and how safely these work hangs massively on two things: the deep skill of your vascular specialist and the hospital’s overall muscle. Choosing the best hospital for varicose vein treatment in India unlocks:

Top-Shelf Tech: They’ve got the right tools — lasers (EVLA), radiofrequency (RFA), medical glue (VenaSeal), and advanced foam injections. Essential for effective, comfy care.

Real Vein Geeks: This isn’t general surgery. You need doctors who specialize in veins, day in, day out.

Care That Wraps Around You: Smooth sailing from pinpoint diagnosis (using proper ultrasound!) right through treatment and helpful follow-up. No getting lost in the system.

Safety as Priority #1: Top hospitals live and breathe strict infection control and patient safety. Non-negotiable.

A Plan That Fits You: Your veins are unique. Your treatment should be too. No cookie-cutter approaches.

Your Action Plan: Finding the Best Hospital for Varicose Vein Treatment in India

Feeling swamped by choices? Normal. Break it down. Focus hard on these key areas:

1. Hunt Down True Vein Specialists (Seriously, Don’t Compromise!)

Vascular is the Magic Word: Sure, some general surgeons do veins. But the best hospital for varicose vein treatment in India? They’ll have dedicated vascular surgeons or phlebologists (that’s fancy for vein doctors). These folks breathe venous disease. Their laser-focused experience is gold, especially if your case is tricky.

Ask Straight Up: When you call or email, ask plainly: “Do you have doctors whose main focus is treating vein problems?” Vague answers like “our surgeons handle it” are a red flag. Push for specifics.

Check Their Pedigree: Look for qualifications like MCh (Vascular Surgery), solid proof they do modern minimally invasive vein procedures regularly, and active membership in groups like the Vascular Society of India. Shows they’re plugged into the latest.

2. Grill Them on Their Tech Gear

Modern vein care is tech-heavy. The top hospitals for varicose vein treatment in India invest serious money here. Ask what they actually have and use daily:

EVLA & RFA: These are the big guns for tackling the main faulty veins (like the saphenous vein). The best spots usually offer both, because sometimes one fits your specific veins better.

medical glue)? Ask! Brilliant options if you dread the numbing fluid injections (tumescent) or react badly to heat.

Super-Precise Sclerotherapy: Make sure they offer Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy (UGS) for veins you can’t see on the surface, plus Foam Sclerotherapy for bigger ones. Microsclerotherapy zaps those annoying spider veins.

Duplex Ultrasound — The Real Deal: This isn’t just a quick look at the start. It’s mission-critical during the procedure for live guidance and accurate mapping. Confirm they use modern, high-resolution machines operated by techs who only do vascular work. Old or basic machines? Not good enough.

3. Demand a Rock-Solid Diagnosis (Seriously, Don’t Skip!)

A glance won’t cut it. A rushed diagnosis means incomplete treatment and veins popping back later. The best hospital for varicose vein treatment in India will insist on a proper work-up before talking procedures:

Your Whole Story: They should sit down, listen to your symptoms, your job, your hobbies, family history, any past treatments that flopped. Everything.

A Proper Physical: They need to look closely at your legs while you’re standing. That’s when veins show their true colours.

Duplex Ultrasound Scan — The Gold Standard: A skilled vascular technologist does this, and your vein specialist interprets it. It maps your blood flow, finds the leaky valves, checks for hidden clots (DVT!), and draws the precise battle plan. Never, ever agree to treatment without this step. It’s like building a house without blueprints!

4. Expect Crystal Clear Explanations & Zero Fluff

Your Plan, Tailor-Made: Post-diagnosis, the specialist should explain your specific vein issues, the exact procedure(s) they recommend (and why that one over others), the realistic outcomes you can expect, the possible risks (let’s be honest), and the real-world recovery — what you’ll actually feel and need to do. Beware places pushing one single solution for everyone.

No Fairy Tales: They should be upfront about what the treatment can do (ease pain, improve looks, prevent nastier problems) and what it likely won’t (like stopping every single future spider vein — genetics play a role).

Show Me the Numbers: Reputable places track their work. It’s okay to ask: “How many of this specific procedure have you done? What’s your typical success rate? How often do complications happen?” You deserve to know.

5. Check Out the Hospital’s Vibe & Support System

Dedicated Vascular Space: Do they have specific rooms or an OT kitted out just for vascular work, with imaging gear right there? Or is it a general room they borrow?

Daycare Done Right: Most modern treatments are quick, under local anaesthetic or light sedation, in daycare. Is their daycare unit calm, well-run, and comfy? Or chaotic?

Aftercare You Can Follow: What happens when you walk out? Clear instructions on compression stockings (how long? which type?), getting back to work/exercise, and crucially, warning signs to call them about immediately? Don’t settle for vague handouts.

Cleanliness You Can See (and Trust): Look for NABH or JCI accreditation. It’s not just a plaque; it means they meet tough standards for safety, quality, and hygiene. Super important, even for “minor” procedures.

6. Experience Counts — For Both Doc AND Hospital

Doctor’s Track Record: How many times has your recommended specialist done the exact procedure they’re suggesting for you? High volume usually means smoother, faster, more confident treatment.

Hospital’s Vein Volume: A hospital doing these procedures day in, day out has the routine down. Nurses know the drill, processes are slick, the whole experience tends to be less stressful.

7. No Nasty Surprises — Get Costs Upfront

Full Price Tag, Please: The best hospital for varicose vein treatment in India will give you a detailed, written breakdown before you commit. Demand it covers:

The specialist’s fee

Anaesthetist’s fee (if you need one)

Hospital charges (procedure room, daycare time, any overnight stay)

Cost of specific stuff used (that laser fibre, RFA catheter, VenaSeal glue — this can vary!)

The Duplex Ultrasound scans

Those essential compression stockings

All follow-up appointments

Value Beats Cheap Every Time: Yes, cost matters. But prioritize expertise, tech, and care quality. The absolute cheapest option might skip vital steps, use outdated methods, or skimp on follow-up, leading to veins coming back or problems costing you more later. Remember, India offers incredible value — varicose vein treatment cost in India is often a fraction of Western prices for the same high standard.

8. Listen to the Crowd — Patient Voices Matter

Scour Reviews: Hit Practo, Google Reviews, hospital websites. Don’t just look at stars. Read the comments. Look for patterns — consistent praise for a specific doctor’s skill or bedside manner, fantastic nursing care, a smooth admin process? Also, see how the hospital responds to feedback — defensive or helpful?

Ask Your Network: Chat to friends, family, your GP. A personal recommendation from someone you trust is worth its weight in gold.

Seeing is Believing: Good specialists often share real before and after photos (with patient consent, of course!). This gives you a genuine sense of what’s possible for legs like yours. Be wary of obviously photoshopped or stock images.

India’s Winning Edge for Vein Care

Honestly, India stands out as a prime spot for the best hospital for varicose vein treatment in India because it nails the combo:

World-Class Brains: Many top vascular surgeons here trained and worked at leading hospitals overseas. They bring that expertise home.

Tech on Par: The best Indian hospitals invest in the exact same cutting-edge equipment you’d find in the US, UK, or Germany.

Smart Savings: You get genuinely high-quality care at costs that are significantly kinder to your wallet than many Western countries. No compromise on standards.

Speaking Your Language: English fluency in the medical world here means clear communication about your care — a huge relief.

Ready to Take That Step Towards Lighter Legs?

You’ve got the know-how. Time to act! Your roadmap to finding the best hospital for varicose vein treatment in India:

Make Your Shortlist: Use this guide! Pick 2–3 hospitals in major hubs known for strong healthcare (Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata) with clear vascular/vein expertise.

Do Your Homework: Visit their websites. Dig into their vein treatment sections, specialist profiles, tech lists, and genuine patient stories. Avoid flashy, vague marketing.

Talk to the Doc: Book a consultation (video call or in-person) with the vascular specialist you’d see. Prepare your questions (use this list!). This chat is vital — do you feel genuinely heard? Understood? Do they inspire confidence?

Get It In Writing: Request a clear, written proposal. It should spell out: your diagnosis, the recommended treatment plan for you, risks/benefits, recovery expectations, and a complete cost breakdown. No vague estimates!

Trust Your Gut: Ultimately, choose the hospital and doctor where you feel most comfortable, informed, and truly confident. Your intuition matters.

Imagine Your Life Without the Constant Ache���

Living with painful, self-conscious legs doesn’t have to be your norm. Powerful, modern solutions are right here in India, waiting for you. By zeroing in on specialization, cutting-edge tech, thorough diagnosis, honest communication, and proven hospital quality, you can confidently find the best hospital for varicose vein treatment in India for your unique journey. Picture pulling on shorts without a second thought. Walking the market without that dragging pain. Feeling genuinely good in your skin again. That freedom starts with one smart, informed decision. Take that first step today — do your research, ask those questions, and choose your path back to lighter, happier legs. You deserve it

Dominate The Court With EVO9X Basketball Shorts

Basketball is much more than being a game; it's an integral part of life. Every serious basketball player understands that the best gear will be a major factor in the performance. In the case of basketball shorts, comfortability and design have the greatest impact. EVO9X is now an elite manufacturer of customized basketball apparel in the USA and has created shorts that combine the performance of a professional and individualization that is unlike others. If you're searching for top-quality basketball shorts, we are an option you can count on.

Built for Performance: Moisture-Wicking & Breathable Fabric

We offer high-quality fabric which wicks sweat from your body. The result is less discomfort and fewer distractions due to sweaty clothes.

The material's breathability also permits better airflow and keeps your legs hydrated throughout the entire game or during practice. When you're working out in the heat of summer or playing with gym lights, these shorts can help to maintain a pleasant temperature as well as lessen the chance of chafing.

Maximum Mobility: Designed for Movement

Basketball is an intense sport. You sprint, jump or pivot and pivot quickly. The shorts we offer are designed to accommodate these dynamisms. Players never feel restricted, regardless of how intense the sport is. We know that athletes require equipment that is able to work alongside them and not against their needs.

Customization That Stands Out

One of the most appealing advantages of our shorts is their high degree of personalization. We use full dye sublimation printing, which fuses dye directly into the fabric. This process allows for vivid, lasting colors and long-lasting designs that won't peel or crack as time passes.

The team can personalize every aspect of the logo and colors, as well as numbers, names of players, and designs. You can choose strong stripes, bold blend effects, camo-inspired gradients or an original team image; we can bring your idea to the forefront. It results in a professional custom-designed look that will set your organization apart from the crowd.

In-House Graphic Designers

There is a further benefit we can't overlook with design mockups. Graphic designers in the company are in close contact with the teams to develop the best design. If you have an existing logo or require one to be created entirely from scratch, their team can provide expert advice and mockups prior to production beginning.

It's a major benefit to amateur leagues, schools as well as semi-pro teams that are looking to create a clean and homogeneous uniformity. They will make sure you're completely happy with the layout before deciding on the purchase.

Fastest Turnaround in the Industry

Need your gear fast? We have one of the quickest times to produce in the industry. Due to the streamlined internal procedure and manufacturing in the United States, the company can produce custom basketball shorts for customers in record time, even the last-minute orders. It's especially useful during competitions, last-minute events or even mid-season changes to your jersey. Whereas other providers can be slow to respond for weeks or months to deliver, we provide top-quality equipment when you require it.

Durable Enough For Every Season

Our sublimated basketball shorts are made to last. They are tough, flexible, stretchable and tear-resistant. No matter if you play on a blacktop or hardwood court surface, these shorts hold good even under the rigors of daily wear as well as repeated washing.

Ideal for Home and Away Games

Do you require separate designs for the home and away games? That's no issue. EVO9X can design sublimated shorts that are reversible or create two different sets of uniform designs. The result is that your team appears polished and consistent throughout every situation.

Affordable Prices Without Sacrificing Quality

Despite offering elite features, our basketball shorts remain competitively priced. You get the quality of a premium brand without the sky-high price tag. Plus, with fast shipping and no setup fees, the overall cost is budget-friendly for most schools and organizations. Custom doesn’t have to mean expensive—and we prove that with every order.

Conclusion

Our shorts check every box: comfort, customization, quality, speed, and affordability. Made in the USA with pro-level performance features, these shorts are designed to meet the demands of athletes at every level.

From breathable fabric to bold custom designs, we deliver gear that performs as hard as you do. Add in fast turnaround times, design mockups, and no minimum order requirements, and it’s easy to see why so many teams across the country choose us. Order now!

Tuchel Prepares England in Spain for FIFA 2026 Heat

England manager Thomas Tuchel is already laying the groundwork for next summer’s FIFA World Cup in North America by planning a training camp in Catalonia next month, ahead of a crucial contest in contradiction of Andorra in Barcelona on June 7.

The camp, based outside Girona, will not only help the players build chemistry but will serve a more scientific and strategic purpose—preparing the squad for the extreme heat and humidity probable in the United States, Canada, and Mexico next temporary.

The change in location from the usual base at St George’s Park to the warmer climate of northeastern Spain reflects Tuchel’s growing attention to detail and forward planning as he begins to understand what will be required for England to succeed on the world stage. The World Cup will feature midday and afternoon matches in sweltering conditions.

Tuchel Preps England for FIFA World Cup Heat Test

Especially in southern cities such as Miami, where heat and humidity will challenge even the most seasoned professionals. Sorrow is one of the captions for this World Cup, Tuchel said in his press conference on Friday, stressing just how difficult situations could develop during the competition. We need to train the figure and the mind to be complete for this suffering.

We offer a seamless way to secure your spot for the Football World Cup 2026, including FIFA World Cup Semi-Final Tickets and FIFA World Cup Final Tickets.

Tuchel, who is still relatively early in his tenure as England manager, is keen to leave nothing to chance. He will be present this season’s Club World Cup in the U.S. not only to scout players and observe competition, but to gain knowledge of the climate firsthand. He views it as an excellent opening to assess how the afternoon heat affects player performance.

  Real time and how that could translate into tactical and physiological preparation for the national team. In the camp, we will test the players, see how they react to heat, Tuchel explained. On a very skilled level, we want to share our facts on how to cool players down efficiently—when to take a chilling break, how to independently cool each player, and what exact procedures work best.

Tuchel, FA Gear Up England for Scorching Football World Cup

This is a detailed and important part of preparation that could make a big difference. Tuchel praised the support from the Football Association (FA), noting that the backing he has received has allowed him to focus on what matters most—football. The FA has supposedly hired sports science experts and medical professionals who will monitor hydration,

body temperature, and exhaustion levels in the Catalonia camp, and act out what the squad might experience in North America. There is a level of support successful on at the highest level from the federation, which I am very gratified about, Tuchel added. It allows me to concentrate on strategies, on building the team, knowing that we are doing everything we can to get the players ready.

Tuchel is no stranger to intense pre-season preparations in extreme conditions. He previously led Chelsea through a pre-season in Orlando in 2022 and admitted that the heat there was brutal. His experience from that period has shaped his current approach, as he expects similar, if not harsher, conditions during the World Cup.

Tuchel Urges Discipline Ahead of FIFA World Cup 2026 Heat

I will be very surprised if we do not suffer in the U.S. next summer, Tuchel said. It’s not just about hydration and air-conditioning. The guys, no matter their age or experience, will need to reach a high level of fitness and mental resilience. This World Cup will test everything.

The manager has also made it clear that tactical discipline will be equally crucial. One player Tuchel addressed directly was Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is in the squad for the upcoming qualifiers. Tuchel praised the Liverpool defender’s attacking prowess but warned that tournament football requires complete concentration in defense.

I can see that sometimes he relies heavily on his offensive contributions and gives not so much emphasis on the defensive discipline and effort, Tuchel noted. This major impact that he has had for Liverpool over so many years  if he wants to replicate that for the national team, he must take the defensive part very seriously.
