@HowToAI_ Wikipedia?! Anyone who relies on this is DOOMED!

Someone just built a doomsday computer that runs without the internet. It's called Project N.O.M.A.D. It packs a local AI, all of Wikipedia, offline maps, medical guides, and full Khan Academy courses into a solar-powered mini PC. Runs on 15 watts. 100% Open Source.

@brawnvivant @RafHM @elonmusk Perhaps you missed the contests where people were seeing how quickly they could get banned from Bluesky for posting TRUE facts. It was quite hilarious.

@RafHM @elonmusk Bluesky barely even bans people for harassment. They sure as shit don't ban anyone for posting content they disagree with.

This completely misses the point Twitter was left-wing because right-wingers were silenced When @elonmusk took over, the Left weren't silenced - they fled to Bluesky. X would be more balanced if they posted again Bluesky is even more biased than X because they ban right wingers for posting content they disagree with It is the same phenomenon time and again: Left-wingers cannot handle views they strongly disagree with. The right are forced to create their own platforms simply because they are not welcome on left-dominated ones. But they do not exclude their ideological opponents. All the academic research also clearly shows that in the USA, Canada and the UK people who are liberal/left-wing are far more intolerant of people with opposing views (ie the right) than people who are conservative/right wing. (Eg Democrats & Labour voters are far less likely to be happy living next door to a Republican or Tory or having one marry into the family than vice-versa. The data is clear and unequivocal).

@Namensen @esrtweet Backup army!? PLEASE say you are joking. The US doesn't need a backup army, we just needed Europe to step aside. Instead we're not allowed to use our airbases, and forbidden from flying over France. No matter, we can get the job done anyway.

@esrtweet Well… you want to threaten to invade Greenland, and then start a war where you expect us to be your backup army? Seems you get your news from brainwashing sources and continuous hate speech, that starts from the very top and drizzles down to corrupt media and low IQ lemmings.

Hello, Europeans. The first thing you need to understand about the rant I'm about to utter is that I'm not MAGA, not a Trumpite, but a libertarian who has in the past nevertheless been strongly supportive of US military presence overseas. Because I want the wars that defend this country to be fought in somebody else's country, as far away from me as possible with a nice big ocean in the way. Also relevant: I have a history of having lived in Europe and traveled there extensively. I was at one time bilingual in English and Spanish, and have been passably fluent in Italian and French as well. I could probably still find my way around London and Rome and central Paris reasonably well. So if you're tempted to tell yourselves that I'm some kind of parochial American hick, abandon that hope. All that was set-up. So that, when I tell you that almost the entirety of the US electorate, not just Trump supporters, is increasingly fed up with your shit, take me seriously. We've been cleaning up your messes and keeping the sea lanes open since 1917. And that was for you, not us - we, being very close to resource self-sufficient, don't need that investment so much. We've spent enormous amounts of blood and treasure on keeping you safe. We risked nuclear hellfire on our own cities for nearly 50 years to keep Soviet tanks from rolling through the Fulda Gap. Even since the Cold War ended, we've subsidized your socialist-playpen welfare states and disastrous immigration policies by taking the need to maintain militaries more effective than a sack of wet farts off the table. Now we've come looking for help keeping a bunch of rabid Islamic fanatics from getting nuclear weapons that are a clear and present danger to all of you even more than they are to us, and what do we hear? "Waah! It's another Republican president we don't like, just like the last half dozen of them! So we're going to sulk in a corner, except when we're biting at your ankles with crap like airspace restrictions." No. No, we're not going to take this anymore. It's not just conservatives who have had enough, it's moderates and people who used to be strong supporters of liberal internationalism. Our citizen's willingness to pay higher taxes to protect you was upward-bounded by your gratitude. Now that we know your gratitude has effectively gone to zero, so does our willingness. Don't expect this to change if the Democrats take power here. They are much less liberal-internationalist than Republicans now. While they might make mouth noises that soothe you, their overriding concern is the gaping, insatiable maw of their income transfer programs. They'll sacrifice subsidizing Europe's playpen socialism to feed their domestic version in a heartbeat. And there is no longer any significant Democratic constituency to argue against that. In truth, three decades after the Cold War ended there is no American constituency at all for the massive subsidies you get. It frankly surprises me they lasted this long, that we were this patient with your cowardice and your bitchy whining. This moment has been a long time coming. It's not Donald Trump sinking the transatlantic alliance, it is absolutely you.

@ankoromochuu American here, I have a lifelong dream of visiting Japan one day. It looks like such a beautiful country. I really admire Japanese culture, with so much courtesy and respect for elders. I will come see it myself one day.

左翼はよく「日本は世界の嫌われ者」と私たち愛国者に言ってきます。 私は悲しい気持ちになりながらも、「海外でも日本を好いてくれている人はいる」と信じてきました。 Xで世界の皆さんと話せるようになり、大勢の人が日本を親しみを込めて好いてくれていると感じることができました。 ありがとう！

@DesireeAmerica4 I, for one welcome our robot overlords.

First it was Black Mirror, now it’s just Monday in Atlanta. A company called Undaunted raised nearly $1M this February to flood Atlanta with these "pack" patrols. ​They are called private security "packs" and now patrol ATL streets. These autonomous dogs are controlled by remote pilots, equipped with thermal vision, and carry sirens loud enough to stop you in your tracks. ​The policy shift happened quietly: property managers are replacing human guards with these AI-synced bots at half the cost. In one DeKalb complex, they’ve already cleared out crime and doubled occupancy. ​ ​Safety or Scifi Nightmare?

𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣𝗛𝗘𝗡 𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗥: "𝗜𝗙 𝗪𝗘 𝗛𝗔𝗗 𝗔𝗡 𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗠𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗔, 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗪𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗗 𝗕𝗘 𝟮𝟰/𝟳 𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦" He's right. And he knows they know he's right. Stephen Miller just read the scorecard out loud. In one year under President Trump: 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗿𝘂𝗴 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱, 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱, 𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. And the headline number: the lowest national murder rate in 125 years. Not five years. Not ten. Not a generation. 𝟭𝟮𝟱 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀. Now ask yourself: if a Democrat president had delivered those numbers, what would the front page of every newspaper in America look like right now? What would the lead story on every network be? What would the tone of every late-night monologue be? You know the answer. You've seen it before. Instead the media spent today covering whether Tom Homan had a well-thought-out plan to guard airport exits. They spent last week debating whether ICE agents would brutalize travelers. They spent the week before that explaining why Iran was probably telling the truth and Trump wasn't. Miller's point isn't partisan. It's mathematical. These are the largest improvements in public safety in the history of this country — achieved in a single year — and the people whose job it is to inform the American public have buried them. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄.

@lukOlejnik I always wondered what would happen if pasta came into contact with antipasta. Explosion of flavor?

A truck carrying antiprotons will drive across Europe. A team at CERN just transported antimatter across the laboratory's campus in a truck. Literally. 92 antiprotons packed into a portable trap weighing one tonne. As everyone knows, antimatter annihilates on contact with ordinary matter - which is basically everything. The final destination is Germany: Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf. An extraordinary delivery in the history of road transport. home.cern/news/press-rel…

I used to view Donald Trump simply as a solid, effective president... someone who delivered results on the economy, borders, and foreign policy without all the usual political polish. But over time, I've come to see something much bigger: the entire American political system has been rotten and corrupt for decades. It's not just isolated scandals or bad actors; it's a deeply entrenched network of career politicians, unelected bureaucrats, lobbyists, intelligence agencies, and media gatekeepers who operate as a self-protecting "uniparty" or "swamp." They prioritize their own power, insider deals, endless wars, and special interests over the actual needs of everyday Americans. Elections often feel like theater, with the same outcomes no matter who wins—more debt, more control, more erosion of freedoms. What sets Trump apart is that he's the only major figure in modern politics who's truly taken on that machine head-on and actually shaken it. Previous leaders talked tough about reform but ultimately played along with the system, got rich from it, or were too tied into it to challenge it meaningfully. Donald Trump, as a DC outsider who didn't need their approval or their money, has exposed the corruption, fought back against weaponized institutions, and forced the hidden power structures into the open... even when it meant relentless attacks, impeachments, indictments, and lawfare aimed directly at him and his children. He's far from perfect, and the battle is far from over, but for the first time in my lifetime, someone has genuinely threatened the status quo and refused to back down. That's why the pushback against him has been so ferocious: he represents the real possibility of dismantling the corrupt system rather than just managing it. To me, supporting him now isn't just about one good presidency... it's about finally having a fighter who's willing to take on the whole rigged game for the sake of the country, and God help us if he fails.

@heynavtoor Very cool, but Wikipedia? The future is doomed!

🚨Someone just open sourced a computer that works when the entire internet goes down. It's called Project N.O.M.A.D. A self-contained offline survival server with AI, Wikipedia, maps, medical references, and full education courses. No internet. No cloud. No subscription. It just works. Here's what's packed inside: → A local AI assistant powered by Ollama (works fully offline) → All of Wikipedia, downloadable and searchable → Offline maps of any region you choose → Medical references and survival guides → Full Khan Academy courses with progress tracking → Encryption and data analysis tools via CyberChef → Document upload with semantic search (local RAG) Here's the wildest part: A solar panel, a battery, a mini PC, and a WiFi access point. That's it. That's your entire off-grid knowledge station. 15 to 65 watts of power. Works from a cabin, an RV, a sailboat, or a bunker. Companies sell "prepper drives" with static PDFs for $185. This gives you a full AI brain, an entire encyclopedia, and real courses for free. One command to install. 100% Open Source. Apache 2.0 License.

@RepMGS Real ID would have made a great method for voting... until blue states started giving it out to anyone with a pulse, making it useless.

If you're in Pennsylvania, the driver's license or Real ID you use to buy beer or fly is insufficient to register to vote under the SAVE America Act. That's why it's a voter suppression bill.

@justalexoki Make sure he doesn't learn how to download NZB files and then use them on usenet.

nephew started pirating movies so sister in law asked me for help to block all those websites but i don't even know any of the big ones anymore. can you guys help me?

@TheTradingwolf0 No big deal, those are the only four countries that actually us the strait anyway, so business as usual. This is a big nothingburger.

#BREAKING🚨 🚨 🇮🇷 Iran has announced that only four countries are allowed to use the Strait of Hormuz. 1. China 2. India 3. Pakistan ….see more

@RupertLowe10 American here... I'm rooting for you! Go get your country back, this is the way.

Important news - Restore Britain now has more members than the Conservative Party. Our aim is clear. Win the next general election - I am increasingly confident that we can achieve that. Enjoy the weekend, patriots.

Young woman says civilians shouldn’t have guns and wants the Second Amendment repealed.

@menscoach1 This, 100%.

5. "When the house felt peaceful only when she was not around." One man told me this. "The quiet moments when she was gone were the most peaceful." That is when he knew something was wrong. Your home should not feel like tension.

I asked several divorced men that I work with: "When did you realize your marriage was over?" 9 out of 10 named these moments.(And it was not cheating, it was not a big fight)......

@miketermaat_ @DanTalks1 This is so tiresome, get a grip. Presidents have been using constitutional authority to launch military for over 60 years. The last time congress actually declared war was in 1942.

@DanTalks1 NATO works when it’s about defense. The problem starts when U.S. presidents launch wars without Congress and expect the whole alliance to sign the permission slip afterward. Allies start asking the same question Americans should be asking. Who actually authorized this war?

Something nobody has said yet. There will be serious consequences to the NATO alliance after Spain, France and the UK disallowed the US from using airbases to operate on the eve and during the Iran war. That shit is so outrageous and crossed the line. Expect major consequences.

@Judianna "Traffic is bad"

The last text you sent is the title of your autobiography. Here’s mine 👇

@CynicalPublius I hate to break it to you, but that Nigerian prince doesn't really have $400 million to split with you. 😉 Just kidding, I'm a long time follower, looking forward to your next chapter!

NEWS BULLETIN I'm leaving the law. Permanently. I just gave notice. I'll be starting a new chapter next month, which I'll talk about when I am authorized to do so. I'll keep the Cynical Publius brand forever but will operate as myself come March 17. I had planned on giving notice and making this announcement next Monday, but today there has been a band of rabid, mentally unbalanced stalkers doing their best to doxx me. Little did they know that I no longer care, so today was as good a day as any to give notice. Thank you all for your support through the years. A new chapter is coming.

@LundukeJournal "All operating systems"? These clowns have no clue how many embedded operating systems rule their lives where this law makes absolutely no sense. ATMs? Traffic signals? Automobiles? Politicians are generally clueless about technology.

Democrats Introduce Bill to Require Age Verification on Linux, Windows "Age Attestation on Computing Devices" (Colorado State Bill 26-051) would require age verification on all Operating Systems (both Open Source and proprietary), with fines for violations.

@eurofounder Scary stuff. Let's hope they don't get ahold of THIS!

Just got off the phone with my contact at the European Commission It's official: the EU is launching a Special Forces unit It's a new task force with global authority They can enforce EU law anywhere in the world He said they're already planning their first operation They're going to ask Twitter (X) to move their entire operations to Frankfurt, Germany If they don't comply, they'll simply shut them down "Doesn't matter they're an American company" he told me "We have full jurisdiction over Big Tech now" America has been running the internet like the wild west for 30 years That era is over. The adults are in charge now
