@YemayasGroove telling someone they should be on meds is one of the most offensive character attacks since it impliesk that who you are naturally is wrong and needs big pharma to solve it😤

@123skely egomaxxing substance

Instagram hit women like crack cocaine hit the black community.

Only real music’s gonna last, all that other bullshit is here today and gone tomoooooorroooow

@iiwasinthee212 the civil war's been happening for a while and the left is losing miserably, that's why their demonstrations are so loud, it's their dying gasp

"Singing thru the bloody mist," being rhymed with "Minneapolis" is mad funny.. To be fair, if a civil war were to break out the Liberals and Left are winning 10000%. Theres no question

Man is the creature that wagers. We do it with every step we take. Will the ground underneath our foot hold up or give way? The process only becomes conscious once the odds and the stakes reach certain levels, as when you dart across a road with moving cars on it. Nevertheless, everything is a bet.

@MyFWC Clav noooooo!

The FWC is aware of a video depicting individuals in the Everglades on an airboat who appear to be discharging firearms at an alligator. FWC officers are looking into the incident and will provide additional information when available. To report wildlife violations, call the Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-3922.

The people that did this are still walking free… “We’re up to almost 39,000 deaths…24% of those deaths occurred on the day of vaccination or within one or two days.” -Senator Ron Johnson

As a former progressive, this is absolutely accurate and caused me endless frustration with my co-partisans. They fundamentally don’t care if their ideas work. They hardly even have a concept of ideas working. Their entire evaluation function is based on social perception and emotionalism which is, in fact, profoundly selfish and unvirtuous. If you care more about feeling like/being seen as good than you do about results, you’re a selfish parasite. Hardly exclusive to the left, but it defines the leftist project in a way it doesn’t define any other political faction.

When people have been lied to, manipulated, used, and misrepresented, trust gets fractured at the foundation. Once that happens, unity doesn’t come easy. Everybody’s operating from different wounds, different truths, and different survival instincts.

@springbreak1944 Circles and doing stuff in the studio I’ll admit here that ~2500 of the steps occurred outside, going to get a sandwich and coming back

I did 18,000 steps inside my apartment yesterday

@bbornaa in circles or on a treadmill?

@springbreak1944 With my feet / ass

Someone put this diagram together and it deserves to be read slowly. Three of the most disturbing psychological experiments in modern history placed in a Venn diagram with COVID policy sitting precisely at their intersection. They were not wrong. Most people know the Milgram experiment. Ordinary people administering what they believed were lethal electric shocks to strangers because an authority figure in a white coat told them to continue. We wrote about this. COVID replicated it at planetary scale, the doctors, the neighbours, the employers, the family members who enforced mandates with a zeal that had nothing to do with science and everything to do with institutional obedience. But the other two are equally important and far less discussed. The Asch Conformity Experiment demonstrated something even more fundamental. Solomon Asch showed in the 1950s that a significant majority of people will deny the evidence of their own eyes will give an answer they know to be factually wrong, simply because everyone else in the room is giving that answer. Not because they were threatened. Not because they were paid. Because the social pressure of the group was sufficient to override direct sensory experience. This is what masking a healthy population, cancelling Christmas, and demanding that people treat their neighbours as biological threats actually accomplished. It was not about any of those things specifically. It was about training an entire population to override their own perception and defer to the group consensus, however absurd that consensus became. And then the Stanford Prison Experiment. Philip Zimbardo’s 1971 study abandoned early because it spiralled so rapidly out of control, showed that ordinary people assigned roles of authority over other ordinary people will, within days, begin to abuse that authority in ways they would have found unthinkable before the role was assigned. The guards became cruel not because they were cruel people but because the structure gave them permission and the institution backed them up. We watched this happen in real time. The COVID marshals. The border agents turning families away. The hospital administrators barring visitors from dying patients. The teachers reporting parents. The neighbours calling police on children playing in parks. The HR departments gleefully processing terminations for the unvaccinated. Ordinary people, handed a role and a uniform of institutional approval, discovering capacities for cruelty that their pre-2020 selves would not have recognised. Now go deeper. Because the institution at the centre of this, the one that has connected these threads across decades is not an accident of history. Stanford sits at the intersection of centralised medicine, defence research, and the surveillance architecture that has been constructed around human attention and behaviour for the better part of a century. The Stanford Research Institute. The connections to MKUltra the CIA’s mind control programme that ran from the early 1950s and included everything from Mexican mescaline experiments to the weaponisation of LSD on unwitting subjects, overseen by figures who moved seamlessly between military intelligence and the medical establishment. From General Groves who oversaw the Manhattan Project and the deliberate suppression of radiation health data to Sidney Gottlieb, the CIA chemist who ran MKUltra’s most extreme programmes. The through-line is not conspiracy. It is institutional continuity. The same networks. The same funding streams. The same willingness to use human beings as experimental subjects in the service of power dressed as science.

slow bleed vs gaping hole

@stephwakefield_ intelligence is a critical resource when everyone is a robot

This is the first AI war — using it (War Claude, Maven, Lego videos) and for control of it (Taiwan, chips, 6-month lead on models)

Not all robots are made of silicone, metal and circuits; some are programmed humans of flesh, blood and bone.

@stephwakefield_ same self imposed victim/slave lens as contemporary left for sure

@stephwakefield_ lmao imagine how this must feel to wear😭

How UBI feels in the permanent underclass

@johnrobb @podcastnotes this is correct

@podcastnotes That's what the report concluded too: johnrobb.substack.com/p/manufacturin… "Based on this definition, the Permacrisis started just after the turn of the century (2001) with 9/11. Since then, we’ve had a series of crisis events that have become more severe and frequent."

Permacrisis. Before one crisis is fixed, the next crisis begins, and so on. Are we there yet?
