  • By allowing our politicians a seat at the table you’re opening yourself up to more harm.

    Isolate us, make the voting public feel the consequences of their actions. Respond to tariffs with tariffs on red states. Sanction administration official of the inevitable human rights abuses that are coming. Call out the lies of our Government openly and with evidence.

    This isn’t going to change if there are never any consequences for the people who’re doing this as well as their supporters. Revoke the visas of our oligarchs, limit their travel, stop doing business with their companies. Create incentives for educated Americans to immigrate to healthier democracies and ban our social media companies before they finish poisoning your country as well.


  • Is it, like, algorithmically deprioritized?

    Yes, that’s modern censorship. The owners of social media get to decide how viral a piece of content will be.

    This is why when you make a new X account it pushes right-wing conspiracy nonsense. Or why Palestinian topics don’t gain traction.

    The manipulation of social media to control what you see and hear is invisible. Some people, topics and keywords can be deprioritized and others boosted and nobody can know the extent except the people that own the social media companies.

    The Social Dilemma and The Great Hack go into the nuts and bolts of how people are profiled so that content can be targeted at them as well as how political outcomes are driven by the manipulation of social media, they’re on Netflix.


  • There’s an equally rabid and irrational type of person who identifies as being left of center and they, like their mirror image, would rather burn the whole world down than to compromise.

    We have to learn to recognize these toxic people for what they are, an impediment. Just because they’re using left-wing memes instead of right-wing memes doesn’t mean that they’re our ally.

    Populist movements require everyone, this necessarily means that we have to reach the people who’re not the swastika flying white supremacists and the first step is to recognize that most voters are not the extremists and labeling everyone that voted for Trump as a ‘Nazi’ is helping drive division and plays into the hands of the elites that seek to divide us.

    Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States and Canada to fuel instability and separatism against neoliberal globalist Western hegemony, such as, for instance, provoke “Afro-American racists” to create severe backlash against the rotten political state of affairs in the current present-day system of the United States and Canada. Russia should “introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social, and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics”.

    This book was published in 1997













  • The walls get hot, you absorb the heat from the walls with a fluid. You use the fluid to heat water, you use the steam to drive a turbine, you use the turbine to turn a permanent magnet inside of a coil of wire. In addition, you can capture neutrons using a liquid metal (lithium) which heats the lithium, which heats the walls, which heats the water, which makes steam, which drives a turbine, which generates electricity.

    If you poured water onto them they wouldn’t explode. 100 million degrees Celsius doesn’t mean much when the mass is so low compared to the mass of the water.


  • There once was a Whateley so brash,
    Who thought all critique was just trash,
    
    But your tongue's been too sharp,
    You ignite a dull harp—
    Your abrasiveness is nothing but ash.
    
    Your retorts may be quick and they fly,
    But they’re empty like clouds in the sky.
    If you fail to relent,
    Keep on being so bent,
    You’ll continue receiving an AI reply.
