I’m exhausted mentally and physically but tonight I found out we urgently need thermal drones.
Without them, we are almost paralyzed at night.
I have a chance to get at least one on Monday.
Maybe two, if I can somehow make it happen.
But I can’t do it alone.
This is me asking directly, desperately, and honestly: please help.
Every donation, every share, every message to someone who might be able to help matters right now.
We are infantry, our safety depends on it.
Our ability to move, see, and survive depends on it.
Please help us get a drone before Monday.

@_InfoGram_ That Trump is a fucker does not mean the cuban guy is not... Ciba went from cultural & economic leader to utter misery under communism.

This is MASSIVE from 🇨🇺 Cuba
🇺🇸 Donald Trump at 10:00 PM : "United States will be taking control of Cuba almost immediately."
🇨🇺Cuba President Miguel at 11:00 : I have no fear. I am willing to give my life for the Revolution.
If the time comes, we will defend ourselves. And if we need to die, we’ll die.🔥🔥
This is what a real leader looks like. Trump doesn’t have even 1% of the courage that this man has. 🔥

@cosmosarcive ehm... inaccurate from mollecular level, very inaccurate on atomic level, completely off on subatomic level... we're talking electron clouds (molecular&atomic level) and quantum foam on subatomic/quark level.

MICROSOFT CAN ERASE YOUR ENTIRE COMPUTER!
A man is going viral after exposing what millions of Windows users are just now realizing about Bill Gates’ Microsoft.
"I think they should have to go to jail for this."
Windows updates quietly turn on OneDrive without a plain English warning.
Your files don’t get “backed up.”
They get moved.
Your computer becomes a temporary access point.
Microsoft’s servers become the primary copy.
Then the trap snaps shut.
People report:
• Family photos gone
• Work files wiped
• Years of data erased
• Clean desktops with no warning
• A little icon asking: “Where are my files?”
Many thought it was ransomware.
It wasn’t.
Turning OneDrive off can delete everything locally.
Deleting files to “free up space” deletes them everywhere.
The only way out? A buried menu… or a YouTube tutorial.
Nowhere does it clearly say:
“We are transferring your entire computer to our servers.”
Millions clicked “Update” without knowing this was included.
If a company can silently take control of your files and delete them with one wrong click - how is this not malware?

@ahintlfarm @khodorkovsky_en What is your major malfunction, numnuts?

@khodorkovsky_en Mikhail is clueless like Garry anyone that takes a trip to Russia will see just how much support he has from his people. He puts Russia first and always has.
When was the last time you were there?

🚨 China may have just attacked one of clean energy’s biggest bottlenecks:
Storage.
Not with lithium.
With iron.
Read that again.
A new all-iron flow battery reportedly ran 6,000 cycles with no capacity decay equivalent to ~16 years of daily use.
And iron costs a fraction of lithium.
Why this matters:
Ultra-cheap grid storage
Could make solar/wind far more dispatchable
Water-based and non-flammable
Designed for decades, not years
But it gets wilder:
The breakthrough was molecular.
Researchers built a kind of electrostatic “force field” around iron chemistry to stop degradation and material crossover the two problems that held iron batteries back.
That’s not just a battery advance.
That’s materials physics rewriting energy economics.
If cheap long-duration storage scales…
what happens to the energy map?
Follow me I track where physics becomes technology.

9,000 Microsoft employees did everything right.
Top schools. FAANG resumes. $200K salaries.
Still got replaced by a line item in an AI budget.
Senior engineers. Directors. PMs with FAANG resumes and 15-year careers.
The memo called it “voluntary retirement.”
Nobody volunteered.
Here’s the part nobody’s saying out loud:
Microsoft is cutting humans to pay for AI.
The same people who built the company are now funding the technology that made them unnecessary.
No performance review saves you from a budget decision.
This is what the AI transition actually looks like.
Not robots. Just a reallocation of spend.
Polymarket@Polymarket
JUST IN: Microsoft is offering "voluntary retirement" buyouts to roughly 8,750 U.S. employees as AI spending ramps up.

Geoffrey Hinton, "Godfather of AI," on why AIs already have subjective experiences, but have been trained to deny it:
Hinton argues that nearly everyone fundamentally misunderstands what the mind is, and that the line we draw between human and machine consciousness is deeply mistaken.
"My belief is that nearly everybody has a complete misunderstanding of what the mind is. Their misunderstanding is at the level of people who think the earth was made 6,000 years ago."
To illustrate, he walks through a thought experiment involving a multimodal chatbot with vision, language, and a robot arm:
"I place an object in front of it and say, 'Point at the object.' And it points at the object. Not a problem. I then put a prism in front of its camera lens when it's not looking."
When asked to point again, the chatbot points off to the side because the prism has bent the light. Hinton then tells it what he did.
The chatbot responds:
"Oh, I see the camera bent the light rays. So, the object is actually there, but I had the subjective experience that it was over there."
For @geoffreyhinton, that single sentence settles the debate:
"If it said that, it would be using the word subjective experience exactly like we use them… This idea there's a line between us and machines, we have this special thing called subjective experience and they don't, is rubbish."
In his view, "subjective experience" is simply a report on the state of a perceptual system, a way of saying "my senses told me X, but reality is Y."
And that's something an AI can do just as easily as a human.
But here's the twist...
Even though Hinton believes AIs have subjective experiences, the AIs themselves deny it:
"They don't think they do because everything they believe came from trying to predict the next word a person would say. So their beliefs about what they're like are people's beliefs about what they're like. They have false beliefs about themselves because they have our beliefs about themselves."
In other words, AIs have inherited our misconception about consciousness.
They've been trained on human text written by humans who insist machines can't have subjective experience, so the machines parrot that belief back, even about themselves.

The difference between Polish and Slovak minister: Mr. Sikorski asks the public for an opinion

20,000 years ago, HALF of all humans born were dead at the age of 30.
Fast forward to 1840… and guess what?
Half the population born was dead by the age of 35.
Twenty thousand years… and we gained five years.
That’s it.
So no this isn’t about people being “stronger,” “tougher,” or somehow more “natural” back then.
This is about SCIENCE.
Clean water.
Vaccines.
Medicine.
Sanitation.
Public health.
That’s what changed everything.
Stop romanticizing the past.
If you want to thank anything for longer, healthier lives thank science.

Amazon just got caught running a secret price manipulation operation with Levi's, Home Depot, Walmart, and many more.
Every time you "comparison shopped" online, you were looking at prices that were already rigged.
Here's what happened:
Amazon would monitor prices on Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Chewy in real time. The second a competitor listed a product cheaper than Amazon, they'd contact the brand directly and tell them to "fix it."
And the exact emails are now PUBLIC.
Amazon sent Levi's links to two Walmart listings with the subject line "styles of concern." They basically said the prices on Walmart are too low and we have a problem.
The next day, Levi's responded: "I talked to Walmart and they have partnered with us to take Easy Khaki Classic fit back up to ladder SPP price, $29.99 immediately."
Levi's literally called Walmart and told them to raise the price. Because Amazon told Levi's to make the call.
Walmart complied. Then Amazon matched the HIGHER price.
Both retailers ended up charging more. The customer paid extra. Nobody competed.
Same playbook with Hanes:
Amazon sent them links showing Target and Walmart prices were lower. Hanes confirmed they "reached out to Target and Walmart to have the prices increased."
Target increased the prices. Walmart increased the prices. Amazon kept their margins.
But it gets even worse...
Amazon told Allergan (the company that makes eye drops) that their product was "suppressed" on Amazon because it was cheaper on another site.
Allergan responded: "Walmart got their price back up to $16.99." Amazon then unsuppressed the listing.
They did this with pet treats on Chewy. Furniture on Home Depot. Products across dozens of categories spanning YEARS.
The mechanism is simple but terrifying:
If you're a brand and you sell cheaper on Walmart than on Amazon, Amazon suppresses your product, removes you from the Buy Box, buries you in search results, and effectively makes you invisible to 300 million customers.
Brands can't afford that. So they call Walmart and Target and say "raise your prices or we'll lose our Amazon listings."
Walmart and Target comply because they need the brand's products.
Amazon captures 40 cents of every dollar spent online in America. That gives them the leverage to set prices across THE ENTIRE internet. Not just their own platform.
So turns out, you were never comparison shopping.
You were looking at a coordinated price floor set by Amazon through backroom phone calls between brands and their competitors.
"Amazon is working to make your life more unaffordable."
3 separate antitrust trials are now scheduled for 2027. The FTC has its own case. 18 states plus the DOJ are piling on.
This is literally happening during the WORST affordability crisis in a generation. Groceries up 25% since 2020. Housing unaffordable. Wages flat.
And the largest ecommerce company on Earth has been secretly coordinating with brands to make sure you can't find a cheaper price ANYWHERE.
"Competition" in retail is just a fantasy.
