@CCRGPolitics @NicoleShanahan @RepThomasMassie Massie, perhaps. But he’d love Burning Man. It is the capital of DIY and libertarianism. Of course some evil rich people and perverts go there too… but that’s why you don’t hang out with people who go to orgies or stay at First Camp.

@NicoleShanahan @NicoleShanahan’s journey over the last year and a half is one for the books. She and @RepThomasMassie are going to save America.

@ryanmatta @NicoleShanahan Hung out at First Camp a bunch one year. Not exactly a libertarian vibe. As turn-key as it gets without being turn-key. When they cancelled in 2020 and moaned about safety I lost any respect I had for the org. Clearly “safety 3rd” was an empty slogan. Just another woke SF NGO.

@NicoleShanahan Have you been? Everything is free Usery is banned. It’s a huge community of freedom loving individuals.

@NicoleShanahan No doubt First Camp was full of perverts. It is a mirror of “elite” society. Happy to tell you about building my own camp, winning the ultra marathon a couple times and encountering no sexual deviancy whatsoever. From total safety to demonic rituals, the choice is yours.

@5149jamesli Correct.

California has more than enough housing for everyone — but units are kept empty on purpose. Why? 🤔 So politicians like Gavin Newsom can funnel “affordable housing” subsidies to their real estate donors building luxury apartments.

@Hortysir Do they chop it to the ground or is it just the tip?

They don't have chainsaws?

@rgergelymd This is not what I meant by "decentralized." Medical records ought to be private and on paper, if and when they exist at all.

I am excited to announce that my patent has been granted for "Universally Accessible Personal Records," primarily focused on medical records. This patent outlines a decentralized medical records system that utilizes blockchain technology. With this system, every citizen will have ownership, control, and secure storage of their medical records. You can view the full published patent here:patents.justia.com/patent/12266430

@CMSGov @SecKennedy @DrOzCMS @POTUS The future is decentralized and analog. This is just authoritarian cronyism.

This week, @DrOzCMS, @SecKennedy, and @POTUS launched the 'Make Health Tech Great Again' initiative with pledges from health tech innovation partners in the public sector. These partnerships will help CMS build the framework to easily and seamlessly share information between patients and providers and increase the availability of personalized tools for patients.

@adamcarolla Of course many folks saved their own homes with little more than buckets and garden hoses — and some of those successful were over 80 years old. Needed someone attentive there to douse the embers. The key was not obeying the government and running away.

Don't take my word for it. More stories will be coming out. If he could do it, many or most could have. rte.ie/news/us/2025/0…

@milehijules @SecKennedy I agree. My contention is that the label helps create that false sense of safety.

@AndrewUtas @SecKennedy The point is, that is not a safe amount of titanium to ingest. It should never have been approved by the FDA in even much smaller amounts, let alone the main ingredient. People assume if it's on the shelf, it must be safe.

POLL: 87% of Americans said they think the U.S. government should do more to make sure food is safe, including updating nutritional guidelines, adding labels to foods that contain artificial dyes, or decreasing exposure to pesticides.

@milehijules @SecKennedy Caveat emptor. I still can’t figure out why it needs a label. It clearly didn’t come from the udder of a local animal. And that should be enough.

@AndrewUtas @SecKennedy Assume everything is corrupt now - because it is. You can't reform the Mafia from the inside, either. This is on grocery shelves right now: a substitute coffee creamer which is literally white paint thinned with water.

@milehijules @SecKennedy Does not seem like something they can do reliably. And so they should not do it at all. Folks should go back to local food and presume that stuff needing a label is no good.

@SecKennedy They should have already been doing all of the above.

@i_mentat @thuo_waithera @EconBreau @winexviv Nothing. The only legal entities should be humans and they should be responsible for their actions. Even the state should not exist except insofar as it is a term for the joint voluntary action of some number of people.

@AndrewUtas @thuo_waithera @EconBreau @winexviv What do you propose in place of "business"?

In 1965, Singapore was a poor, mosquito-infested island with no natural resources, no oil, no gold, not even drinking water of its own. Today, it’s one of the richest, cleanest, and safest countries on Earth. How? One man: Lee Kuan Yew One mission: Build a nation where corruption fears the law, not where the law fears corrupt men. He: •Banned tribal politics. •Made corruption punishable by jail — no immunity, no sacred cows. •Built a world-class education system. •Turned public housing from slums to dignity. •Made ministers earn well but work harder than CEOs. •Used merit, not man-know-man. Today, Singapore: •Has zero tolerance for corruption. •Is a global hub for finance, tech, aviation, and shipping. •Pays teachers more than some bankers — because brains build nations. Now ask yourself: What if Nigeria had a leader that refused to steal, and punished those who did? What if we had vision, not just elections? Singapore did it in one generation. What’s our excuse?

@thuo_waithera @EconBreau @winexviv My argument is that people should be free to transact as they will provided that they take full responsibility for their actions and losses.

@AndrewUtas @EconBreau @winexviv We call free enterprises , businesses on this side of the globe. I agree on no licences or any form of regulation

@thuo_waithera @EconBreau @winexviv Agree. But limited liability is an important part of the puzzle. Using business entities to socialize risk is wrong. The buck has to stop somewhere — and ideally that is with the owner or owners of the business.

@thuo_waithera @EconBreau @winexviv There should literally be no such thing as a business. No restrictions. No licenses. And no limited liability.

@winexviv Just make it easy for people to start and run businesses, poverty will begin to vanish and when poverty goes, tribalism dies. Once tribalism is out people demand accountability from their leaders and corruption becomes less rampant. It's a poverty problem

@iwasnevrhere_ The most resilient network is the people themselves. Strong culture will carry the day.

Iran’s endurance under relentless assault is emblematic of a broader geopolitical inflection point: whether sovereign nations can still claim agency in an era when information corridors, financial rails, and kinetic thresholds have become weaponized levers of compliance. The Western-led order perfected a modular toolkit, sanctions to choke capital flows, narrative farms to seed doubt, covert action to fray institutional legitimacy, all synchronized by real-time intelligence. Iran’s counter-measures, deploying CIPS to sidestep SWIFT, building domestic digital platforms under national firewalls, forging media alliances with CGTN and RT, and locking GNSS dependencies through BeiDou integration, aren’t just defensive tweaks. They constitute a blueprint for any state seeking to reclaim its operating system from empire-grade intrusion. More critically, Iran’s test transcends its own borders: it signals to Brazil, South Africa, Indonesia, and every emerging-market actor that the unipolar script can be rewritten. If Tehran weathers the next cycle of bot-driven psyops, AI-enhanced sanctioning, and kinetic pressure, while maintaining enough economic throughput, social cohesion, and narrative coherence to deny the pretext for deeper intervention, then the post-Westphalian benchmark shifts. It demonstrates that sovereignty in the digital-financial-cognitive domain is no longer a relic but a replicable architecture. In that outcome lies the fault line: either empires adapt to respect multipolar integrity, or they double-down on fragmentation, risking their own systemic overreach. Iran’s moment of survival is thus a litmus for a global counter-stack, where true independence is coded not in borders, but in resilient networks.

Promises made. Promises promptly and spectacularly broken.

@BowTiedGatorDDS @gordon_xyc Is "sealing" molars (grinding and painting with some kind of coating) early on a recipe for disaster if you ever stop going / stop having the sealant refreshed?

@gordon_xyc Solid answer, no notes 💪

Had a guy come in today, mid thirties…hasn’t been to the dentist in over 10 years. Told me “I’m sure it’s gonna be bad, I don’t know why I waited so long” - No cavities - Barely any plaque/buildup - No gingivitis - All 4 wisdom teeth - Straight teeth How do you explain that?
