It’s way worse than just this….

@RyanAPolicyNerd @OneATwoA @ShaneFrakes 🤫

@OneATwoA @ShaneFrakes 1. Didn’t volunteer 2. No he won’t. No, we don’t. But “You cannot tell people the truth. You must show them.” 3. He didn’t die, and therefore ‘tolerated’ all tests. Success seems loose there 😂 4. Never in custody and can’t be taken into custody. But could be politely picked up.

Many of us have heard the horror stories and seen evidence of the old MKUltra-type programs. Just know that in the distant future, information will be released, whether leaked or through FOIA, that talks about a program that makes MKUltra look like the Boy Scouts. The horrors done to the subjects, which quickly whittled down to one lone subject, are unfathomable. All with one goal in mind, and it was achieved. But the levels of physical and psychological torture a human was put through to reach the point where they could call the program a success are disgusting, to say the least. This is what will shake society to its core, what they did to a lone patriot volunteer in the name of science.

@srishticodes Thanks Claude.

@benjamincowen Yup, every reboot of humanity turns into a greedy cesspool of currency manipulation (metal, fiat, crypto, stamps, monkey.jpg) which has a 100% failure rate.

Every cycle is the same. Yes, crypto could bounce. And honestly, it would be great for sentiment if it could. But even if it does, it would most likely result in a macro lower high. I don't try and time those bounces. I have tried before with mixed levels of success. Sometimes it works, other times I got rekt. When BTC drops below the 50W moving average, it then goes to the 100W moving average, spends a little time there, then goes to the 200W moving average. Every cycle is eventually the same. BTC topped when it always does (Q4 of the post-halving year), and so many have spent so many hours trying to convince you that it has not. And BTC entered into a bear market, and so many have tried to get you to believe that alt season is "just around the corner" because it always happens after BTC tops. What they fail to account for is social interest. After the 2019 top there was also no rotation into altcoins, which also occurred just before QT ended. I track the social interest in the asset class, and it has been trending down since 2021. There is no one new here for people to sell their altcoins to. Alt seasons historically occur *after* social interest has been trending up for a year, not after it has been trending down for 5 years. Have an actual plan on navigating this brutal asset class. Because if the altcoins you hold drop another 50%-80% from here, not a single influencer who promoted them will express an ounce of regret for it. And you will simply be living with the consequences. I get a lot of hate for saying the truth, but an inconvenient truth is better than a lie.

@MisterOptical @BRICSinfo Voting: the illusion where you feel some semblance of control picking one of many paths, all of which lead to doom.

@BRICSinfo Got what I voted for..

JUST IN: 🇺🇳 United Nations is at risk of an "imminent financial collapse."

@ProfSteveKeen AI slop post.

Niall Ferguson says the US is doomed because of debt. The math says he is wrong. Here is the uncomfortable truth: Your savings exist because the government is in debt. It’s a seesaw. If the government tries to get out of debt (surplus), it pushes the private sector—you and me—into debt (negative equity). We tried the "balanced budget" approach in the 19th century. It gave us depressions and panic every decade. Don't fear the deficit. It’s the engine of private wealth. #SteveKeen #Economics #Money #Debt #Finance P.S.

@archeohistories History repeats itself.

Edward Gibbon is renowned for his work, "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire," published in six volumes between 1776 and 1788. In this seminal work, Gibbon explored the reasons behind the fall of the Roman Empire, a topic that had been debated for centuries. Gibbon attributed the collapse of the Roman Empire to a variety of factors, including: 1. **The Gradual Loss of Civic Virtues:** Gibbon believed that as Rome became more affluent, its citizens became more focused on personal luxuries and less on the welfare of the empire. 2. **The Influence of Christianity:** He controversially argued that Christianity played a significant role in the decline by undermining the martial virtues of Rome, promoting a passive and submissive attitude. 3. **The Overextension of the Empire:** Gibbon pointed out that the vastness of the Roman Empire made it difficult to govern and defend effectively. 4. **Barbarian Invasions:** The relentless invasions and pressures from various barbarian tribes were identified as a direct cause of the collapse. 5. **Internal Weakness:** He also cited internal corruption, bureaucratic inefficiency, and the erratic rule of several incompetent emperors as contributing factors. Gibbon's work is celebrated for its comprehensive analysis, literary style, and use of primary sources. However, his interpretations, especially regarding Christianity's role, have been debated and revised by later historians. Despite this, "The Decline and Fall" remains a foundational text in the study of Roman history and the history of historiography.

Possibly the one of the creative Book Covers : Cover design of the 1946, edition of Edward Gibbon's "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" Volumes.... The book that permanently made me a sadder and wiser man was Edward Gibbons' The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. To follow one of the greatest civilizations of all time as it degenerated and fractured, even before being torn apart by its enemies, was especially painful in view of the parallels to what is happening in America in our own times. The fall of the Roman Empire was not just a matter of changing rulers or political systems. It was the collapse of a whole civilization - the destruction of an economy, the breakdown of law and order, the disappearance of many educational institutions. It has been estimated that a thousand years passed before the standard of living in Western Europe rose again to the level it had once reached back in Roman times. How long would it take us to recover from the collapse of Western civilization today -if we ever recovered ? Gibbon offers an explanation for the fall of the Roman Empire, a task made difficult by a lack of comprehensive written sources. According to Gibbon, Roman Empire succumbed to barbarian  invasions in large part due to the gradual loss of civic virtue among its citizens. He began an ongoing controversy about the role of Christianity, but he gave great weight to other causes of internal decline and to attacks from outside the Empire. Like other Enlightenment thinkers and British citizens of the age steeped in institutional  anti-Catholicism, Gibbon held in contempt the Middle Ages as a priest-ridden, superstitious Dark Age. It was not until his own era, the "Age of Reason", with its emphasis on rational thought, it was believed, that human history could resume its progress. #archaeohistories

@mcuban Greed.

Want another reason why healthcare costs are insane ? Hospitals will not only charge a facility fee and other random costs BUT ALSO , if they believe the insurance company is willing to pay MORE THAN WHAT WAS ON THE PATIENT BILL, THEY WILL INCREASE THE BILL to the insurance company. Of course the insurance company then charges the self insured employer the higher amount. Our healthcare has become a game of who can rip off who and get away with it. Too Big To Care - all of it. Break em up !

@histories_arch Replace "Rome" with "America" and this is what historians will read in the next century.

Wealth in ancient Rome was not primarily earned through wages in the modern sense. The highest incomes flowed from power, privilege, and proximity to state. Political office, landownership, and imperial service dwarfed ordinary paid labour. At the summit stood senators and major landowners. Income from vast agricultural estates, rents, and investment was immense. Mary Beard underlines the scale of inequality: “The inequalities of wealth in the Roman empire were enormous” (SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome). Senators were legally barred from many commercial activities, yet their land revenues alone could reach sums unimaginable to most Romans. Closely behind came equestrians, especially those involved in tax farming, shipping, mining, and imperial contracts. These were not salaried posts but profit-driven enterprises backed by state authority. As Walter Scheidel has bluntly observed, “The Roman Empire was an extraction machine” (The Great Leveler), and those positioned to extract did exceptionally well. Senior imperial administrators also ranked among the best paid. Provincial governors could enrich themselves through official salaries, allowances, gifts, and, not infrequently, corruption. Even when prosecuted, many retained fortunes large enough to absorb penalties. Among non-elites, the highest earnings went to skilled professionals. Successful lawyers, architects, doctors, and surveyors could command substantial fees, particularly in Rome itself. Peter Temin stresses the economic context that made this possible: “The Roman economy was a market economy” (The Roman Market Economy). Scarce expertise, urban demand, and elite patronage drove high rewards. Finally, elite entertainers—notably star charioteers and actors—could earn extraordinary sums. Inscriptions record prize money and gifts that rivalled aristocratic incomes, though such success was rare and precarious. In Rome, the best paid “jobs” were less about occupation than about access: to land, the emperor, or the machinery of empire. 📷 : Roman marble sarcophagus, dated to around 3rd Century AD, depicting a seated Greek physician. #archaeohistories

Affordability of necessities in the US continues to deteriorate: Since January 2021, food away from home prices have surged +28%, to an all-time high. Shelter prices have risen +27% over the same period, also setting a record. Food at home and services other than rent have increased +25% and +24%, respectively. By comparison, average wages have advanced just +20% over this time. Furthermore, shelter costs have soared nearly +50% since 2015, the steepest 10-year increase since the mid-1990s. Wage growth has failed to keep up with surging costs of basic necessities. Asset owners are the only winners.

@MtJulietPolice Awesome, how about the Epstein files?

Tonight, a traffic stop for an improperly displayed license plate led to the arrest of a wanted individual who initially lied about his identity. As officers attempted to stop the vehicle on Golden Bear Gateway, the driver briefly tried to flee, but officers were able to box in the vehicle and safely bring it to a stop as it entered I-40. The driver, a 38-year-old woman from Kingston Springs, was found to be driving on an indefinitely suspended license and was charged with felony evading. A 40-year-old male passenger from Nashville provided a false identity during the stop. After further investigation, officers discovered he was wanted by Wilson County authorities for a felony probation violation related to evading arrest and failing to be booked on a driving while suspended charge. Both individuals were also found to be in possession of ecstasy pills. We’re proud of our officers’ continued dedication and proactive efforts to keep Mt. Juliet safe.

@NobelPrize Time for a booster, what can go wrong.

Did you know that all living things have DNA within their cells? For the organism to live and develop, its DNA cannot change, but DNA molecules aren't completely stable and can also be damaged. Aziz Sancar was one of three scientists to receive the 2015 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for “mechanistic studies of DNA repair.” His research showed that DNA damaged by ultraviolet light can be fixed with certain repair enzymes. In the human body, each cell's genome undergoes thousands and thousands of changes each day and the DNA copying for cell division happens millions of times. DNA can be damaged by both ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun, environmental pollutants, and toxins. By studying bacteria, Sancar discovered and mapped out how cells can repair this damage from UV light which has allowed researchers further insight into cellular homeostasis and ageing.

@perpetualtalk @Copilot Copilot shall use chroot, you're welcome. >:-)

@Copilot When will copilot be terminal aware, it keeps on running commands in the wrong paths, I have to instruct it to use absolute paths otherwise it can't figure out its mistakes.

A few new updates just landed for Copilot! 🛬​ Check out a breakdown of what's new below. 🧵🔽

@iluminatibot It's a magic mirror! Enjoy the show! LOL

Your phone’s not a phone.

@SpillTheMemes Isn't that one of the films everyone watches at the movie theaters in the flick "Idiocracy"? It comes before the blockbuster movies "Fart" & "Fart 2". Families enjoy flatulence for an hour+, then race over to Fuddruckers for food. Same as a free 🍩 for taking the mRNA jabs.

What could go wrong?

@eclecticRPT @ThrillaRilla369 Respect your Elders, the disabled, and the busy parents who are just tired. So park further away to free up parking closer to a storefront -and- grab a cart from the parking lot on your way in so there is 1 less cart for the cart attendant to collect.

@ThrillaRilla369 Better question: On your way into the store do you grab a cart from the cart return or parking lot and take it in with you?

@AntiWokeMemes @elonmusk @AdrianDittmann Pro mode: Primers without strikes. Would guard against button mashing. 🤤

Just completed the whole Halo Infinite campaign on legendary difficulty over 2 consecutive evening gaming sessions.

UPDATE: 60,000 additional files related to the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy are now online at archives.gov/rfk. After the initial release of 10,000 documents three weeks ago, we searched FBI and CIA warehouses for any records not previously turned over to The National Archives. More than 60,000 documents were discovered, declassified, and digitized for public viewing. Today's release is an important step toward maximum transparency, finding the truth, and sharing the truth.
