Today I had four books open, all my notes & a dozen AI agents doing hard research. My conclusion? The vast majority of takes on X regarding the shipping crisis & Hormuz were wrong 2 weeks ago Today every single account I read is wrong about something important. Every one. Including me.

@mitchellvii I think we should go back to senators appointed by the state legislators. Not the popular vote.

Bill Mitchell@mitchellvii·
The problem with six years for senators is they become too comfortable, and they're too vulnerable to lobbyists and outside interests. They forget who elected them. The problem with two years for House members is they're always running for re-election. We need to change it to four years for both, and elect them at the same time we elect the President.

@HillsEmilyJ I agree! This was the best theater experience I have had since pre-covid! (Twice now, I have seen it twice so far).

That was INCREDIBLE. The theater wasn’t very crowded at all, but a couple had reserved seats next to mine. When they sat down, the wife apologized, and I said “no, now it doesn’t look like I’m at the movies alone!” 😂 She replied, “You’re with us!” 🤗 What a wonderful film, and a great experience getting my toes wet back out in society :) 11/10, movie and the day! 💜

What he said. My admiration for Data Republican is unbound. She is literally the miracle we needed and do not deserve.
Cynical Publius@CynicalPublius

RE: Data Republican I am a huge Data Republican (small r) (“DR”) fan. I know many of you are as well. But I’m not sure everyone fully understands the sheer bravery, brilliance and audacity of this deaf every-woman. You see, the government you elect is not what actually governs you. For every area of government (no matter how specialized or arcane), there are powerful lobbying groups, think-tanks, non-governmental organizations ("NGOs"), specialized media outlets, university-sponsored centers and other ostensibly "independent" organizations that act and behave as an unaccountable form of government outside the reaches of the electoral process. While these organizations claim to act in the public interest, each and everyone of them is a self-serving oligarchy that is designed solely to promote the interests of those on the inside--genuine public interest be damned. This is America of course, and freedom of speech and freedom of association are fundamental to our freedoms. However, over many decades, these organizations have found “legal” ways to obtain trillions of your taxpayer dollars in the form of “grants” for “studies,” “policy symposiums” and all manner of other taxpayer-funded activities designed specifically to circumvent the policies the American people VOTED FOR and to perpetuate policies and activities that the average American has explicitly rejected. These activities occur on both the Left and the Right, of course, but over time they have become the near exclusive domain of the Left. These organizations serve as taxpayer/Soros-funded, income-generating activities for Leftists whenever they are out of power, and if/when Leftists seize control of the Presidency or Congress, these organizations are the proverbial bullpens from which powerful Leftists full of the ideas you thought you once eliminated can storm right back into the actual process of governance, implementing all of those dark and mysterious policies that your tax dollars were secretly funding while the Leftists were otherwise off howling in the wilderness. Call it the Deep State. Call it unconstitutional. Call it theft of your hard-earned taxpayer dollars. Call it the evil of the Soros family. Call it what ever you will, but know this—it is a monstrous Leviathan sitting right outside the scope of your votes, dedicated to negating your votes at your own expense, in the most diabolical manner possible. It is the state outside the state. It is self-serving. It does not care about you. It only cares about itself. And its power is VAST. You see it right here on X—you see the swarms of fire ants that come spilling out with destruction in mind whenever anyone uncovers the anthill they are lurking under. And right at the heart of that is our hero, DR. I have been actively following politics virtually my entire life, and never before has there been anyone quite like DR. Through dispassionate data analysis, the smart use of AI and a relentless drive for fairness and justice, DR has done more to shine a light on the nature of this extra-governmental Leviathan than any other person I can ever recall. For her efforts, she has been doxxed by a mendacious Rolling Stone article. She has endured a concerted effort to destroy her husband’s totally unrelated business. She and her husband have received LITERALLY THOUSANDS of death threats. She and her family had to go into hiding. An ordinary woman would have backed down in fear. But not DR. They just made her mad. And an angry genius is an enemy no one wants to face. She still stares them down, day in and day out. Her book will be out soon. Buy it. Buy copies for your friends. Buy copies and leave them on street corners and airport tables. AMERICANS NEED TO KNOW THE TRUTH. DR’s book may well end up being the most important and influential American book on politics since “Common Sense." If America is going to survive, we must ALL shine a bright light on this extra-governmental Leviathan, grab a hold of its fangs, and drain the venom out of them. This is not playtime people. This is life and death. We glorify the warrior who does great deeds on the battlefield, as we should. But know that bravery comes in many forms, and as DR has stood in the fire and endured real threats to her life and existence, her audacious bravery is every bit as real as those heroes we see being decorated by the President. Right now, in the USA, no unelected person is doing more to ensure freedom than Data Republican. You can support her by subscribing to her account, but you can also support her by being as brave as she is. I aspire to maybe show such bravery myself some day. We all should aspire to that. One day she will earn the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Together we can defeat The Beast.

@sudsmixer @JWhitebread1 At least Rocky looked more like the book than the ship did. (Not complaining, the movie was far better than the book sketch on this).

Project Hail Mary is an exceptional film. Great adaptation of the novel. Go see it. Anything I could criticize about it would be nitpicking. ... BUT HEY! THAT'S WHAT THE INTERNET IS FOR! SO LET'S DO THIS! NITPICKS AWAY! If you loved the parts of the novel of where Grace "sciences" his way out of problems, a hallmark of Weir's writing, you aren't going to get much of that out of this film. They chose instead to focus on the relationship between Rocky and Grace, which was the right call. It's mostly a story about a man finding his courage through an unlikely friendship. Still, there are hints to those problem-solving scenes in the movie. One of my favorites is near the end of the novel where Grace uses the spin-drives on the Hail Mary as an improvised IR LiDAR to find Rocky's disabled ship. If you look at the displays, you can tell that's what he's doing, but they never explain it, it's more of an Easter Egg to fans of the book to let us know, hey, we love that part of the book too. Still, the movie has a LOT of musical montages, and long cinematic scenes where nothing much happens other than gorgeous visuals. They are beautiful, but, they could have cut a few minutes of those and put a LITTLE more of the science into the movie, I think. Overall, very great film though, great performances, great sets and visuals and really heart-warming.

@JohnnyLCKai When Back to the Future 3 came out, I took a group of friends to a premier in Hollywood. 8 hours. First, they showed #1 and #2, then the premier for #3. I never did that for Matrix.

@JWhitebread1 @bmariner Haven’t seen the movie but the engineering was the only thing I liked about the book. Otherwise it was unimaginative for an alien encounter. Their differences were only superficial. But solving engineering problems might not work for a movie.

@JWhitebread1 @bmariner Heh. In the Martian book, they "joked" about playing Iron Man. In the movie, they skipped the science, did it anyway, and created a great scene.

Fair. One of the few things I DISLIKED about the novel was that he pulls the "science the shit out of this" gimmick a bit too often. I get that it is Weir's schtick, it's what made him famous, but once you determine that a pencil is falling too fast for normal gravity, do you really need to do a pendulum test to determine if you are in a centrifuge? It kinda drags in the beginning, once Rocky shows up, it gets much better. The movie very wisely glossed over that too.

🧵 THREAD: "House of Singham" : Neville Singham's mega-exposure. This is part 1 out of 5 in a mega-project exposing Neville Singham and his money flows. Honored to have been friends with @AsraNomani throughout this. I'm going to explain this article below - but you should also click through it, because it shows the amazing depth and scope of research which Asra has done. 👇 As always, patience as I pull together the thread.

@2hard2remember @HamasAtrocities @Zeev81309558 Heh, I was rushing to take a kid to school. I should have said "Grokipedia" which started by heavily leaning on Wikipedia. I use Grok daily. I research more using Perplexity because it is better at linking source material for me to check.

Grok is much better for me than just using a search engine. As long as you know what to ask and how to ask it, it's very useful. It's also not a god, and shouldn't be trusted to share what it tells you until you have looked at sources, used common sense. It takes me about 6-10 prompts to get the information I am looking for with multiple good primary sources. Tell them yourself @Grok

Hamas Atrocities@HamasAtrocities·
Wikipedia is dead! An editor called Iskandar323 (Wikipedia username), who was the leader of the "Gang of 40", a group of editors, has just been banned. Wikipedia's Arbitration Committee site-banned him after an investigation showed the group coordinated over ONE MILLION EDITS shaping pro-Hamas narratives on articles about Hamas, Iran, Zionism, and the Middle East conflict. Too little, too late! It doesn't matter how much they'll try to "fix" it, it will stay unfixable as the rot has infested every once healthy tissue! Euthanize it! Google should immediately remove the "first result on the first page" bias they started 2 decades ago. AI companies should immediately downgrade Wikipedia's ranking in training models And we should all simply avoid entering that site from now on!

@2hard2remember @HamasAtrocities @Zeev81309558 Grok started there, but actually researches and updates itself. It responds to a prompt that an article is not accurate very well, also. It's not self inflicting wounds like Wikipedia.

@HamasAtrocities @Zeev81309558 It's been useless for anything current or mildly controversial for many years. I am sick of Grok using it as a source. I have a prompt before my prompt about not using Reddit, Wikipedia, Quora, only first source links in full text URL. It's annoying.

@BradRTorgersen Rush on one or two occasions took up a position that seemed overwhelmingly odd for him, let the chatter build for a couple of days before revealing his point. He did it on immigration I think as one example. But the reveal was worth the wait. Tucker is just richly confused.

Brad R. Torgersen@BradRTorgersen·
Take yourself back, friends. Take yourself back to Limbaugh at his prime. It's the Dittohead Decade, and Rush is blistering the Clinton Administration hour by hour. Then Rush does something remarkable. He tells you that the communist Chinese are someone we should partner with. That the men who hijacked TWA 847 were in fact the good guys. That the Russia of Yanayev represented a missed opportunity; a solid alternative to the post-Cold War corruption of the American elite. He says it all with a completely straight face. Do you conclude he's lost his mind? Do you wonder whether it's a joke? Or do you bob your head enthusiastically, thinking, "Well, of course! Every American patriot believes these things!"

Announcement: Many of you may not know this, but after I was terminated from the federal government and couldn’t find work anywhere, I reached a point where I almost gave up on life. It was the lowest moment I’ve ever faced. Everything changed in March 2025 when I met Jennica @DataRepublican. She became a constant source of support and encouragement, and she helped pull me out of a very dark place. I owe my life my friend. CC: @CynicalPublius @data_republican
