Conspiracy theorists are right again. Sunscreens in Australia contain potential endocrine disruptors and other chemicals which could impact fertility and mood. These chemicals are found in kids' and baby sunscreens. Many of us have been saying this for years

@BTCsessions I've personally used @nadanada_me for a data eSIM when I've travelled. No data collection, paid in lightning. Can vouch they work for that, I assume their SMS service is just as good?

@Eggplant_Elon @RupertLowe10 @RestoreBritain_ fine by me, I can read between the lines if normies don't have any interest in saving themselves via bitcoin, the best we can do is help steer the national interest

I am delighted to launch Restore Britain's energy paper - a Britain-first energy security strategy. A Restore Britain Government will immediately enact these logical policies to make energy cheap, reliable and abundant. This is how to Restore Britain. assets.nationbuilder.com/restorebritain…

@Eggplant_Elon @RupertLowe10 fwiw I thought there were implications - with regards SMR deployments @RestoreBritain_ would be in favour of business "such as" AI data centres deploying their own as long as some energy is fed into the grid that screams bitcoin mining to me

Rupert, having read it, I'm disappointed to see that you haven't considered the role Bitcoin mining can play in a Britain first energy security strategy. That said, I understand your team has written this paper for a particular audience, namely, Reform-adjacent Conservative voters who realise that net zero is a grift but are not ready for a conversation about Bitcoin. Even so, why has your team, whilst writing about national energy sovereignty, missed a massive strategic point that they really should have caught? It's glaringly obvious that Bitcoin mining can convert stranded energy into a bearer asset held outside the financial system, so it is, in their own framing, the cleanest possible expression of converting industrial energy into national capability. It even fits your kWh metric, because Bitcoin mining gives you a price floor under marginal generation.

a miniature treatise on "splitting the vote" that @RestoreBritain_ needs to grok asap, given they have a live candidate: it is extremely important to understand the tactical environment with respect to reform yookay. restore not only has nobody to its right but also has a principled foundation. reform has competition on both sides and is almost entirely opportunistic with no real principles. that worked hilariously well back when there was nobody to ITS right, but now it is awkward for them, and restore needs to understand why. once the risk of splitting the vote with restore is understood, reform will have to do one of two things: move to the left to better differentiate or move to the right to compete directly. if they don't figure out how to avoid splitting the vote, they will lose to labour or green forever, so they will have to do something. but both cement that they are purely opportunistic, filling a void, with no real principles. that encourages defection, of candidates and of voters, and so begins the spiral. consider also the sense of urgency and purpose that goes along with this difference in foundations: within the reform understanding of things, they can be tactical because the goal is to opportunistically find the perfect niche to maximize expected electoral winnings. within the restore understanding of things, the goal is to save the country. no compromise. no tactics. save the country or it's over. to restore, losing is losing, regardless of whether splitting the vote contributed or not. if labour win, we lose. if reform win, we lose. we have to win. there is no alternative. and in fact, if reform win small victories it is arguably worse because that strengthens their narrative that "you can't split the vote!" in makerfield in particular, reform winning would be a disaster. labour winning is far better. this is because if reform win, the message "don't split the vote" reflects well on reform by way of relief. but if labour win, "don't split the vote" reflects well on restore by way of guilt. (restore winning would be the best but you have to plan for the worst). where this leaves us is the following realisation: restore and reform are playing chicken and restore must commit to not flinching, ever. if you are playing chicken and it becomes well enough understood that you will never try to be tactical and will never flinch, you will lose a few at the outset but eventually always win because it's stupid to play against you and not flinch, which quickly becomes: it's stupid to play against you at all. this is the tactical dynamic that must be embraced. "splitting the vote" is playing chicken and committing to not flinching. losing every now and then and dragging reform down too is essential for this to really land, because there is a reflexive sense in which this will only be as true as people believe it to be true. this will resonate as consistent with voters even if they haven't articulated this exact dynamic because restore has principles. reform cannot affod to never flinch because, as explained above, they need to react to losing and they aren't tethered by principles. once you start them flinching, they spiral into flinching forever and eventually just giving up. hence, the tactically soundest way to avoid splitting the vote in the long run is to split it as aggressively as possible in the short run and let reform voters and candidates come to understand the game they are really playing.

Your reminder that Starmer took the knee for George Floyd, but in 2024/25, there were 71,227 rapes recorded in England and Wales, with a pathetic 2.7% charge rate. He knelt for a career criminal 4,000 miles away, but he wouldn’t lift a finger for thousands of British girls raped on his own doorstep. That tells you exactly who Keir Starmer works for, and it isn’t you.

Last year, ID photos submitted to Discord were leaked after a cyberattack. With the Online Safety Act in the UK, people submit their IDs to access ordinary legal content like X threads. Is this really a good idea? ⬇️

halupedia.com/wimbles-unit well now I must simply know how many wimbles a bitcoin is worth
Nav Toor@heynavtoor

THIS GUY BUILT AN ENTIRE WIKIPEDIA THAT IS 100% AI HALLUCINATIONS AND IT'S OPEN SOURCE ON GITHUB it's called Halupedia. nothing on the site existed before you clicked. every article was generated the second you arrived. the site has one rule: the universe only exists when you visit it. it looks exactly like wikipedia. same fonts. same layout. same scholarly citations. same "stumble" button for random articles. the only difference is none of it is real. here are some actual articles currently in the encyclopedia: > the great pigeon census of 1887 > the ministry of slightly wrong maps > chaldic arithmetic — a branch of mathematics where subtraction is forbidden > armund the river mapper — a cartographer who mapped 14,000 leagues of river without leaving his chair > the society for the prevention of unnecessary tuesdays every article page also tells you how many people are reading it right now. it says: "you alone are consulting this folio at present." the creator's own tagline for the site is the most unhinged sentence i've read this year: "an encyclopedia of a universe that does not exist until you visit it" the entire backend is a single open source repo called vibeserver. one guy. one description on github: "a little webserver making things up just in time." we built the largest knowledge base in human history and the very first thing a guy did with it was make a hallucinated mirror universe and put it on the open web. the internet is healing.

@getbitcoin108 @RupertLowe10 you're always going to have angry, envious retards - it's like going out in the bad weather and wondering why you ended up soaking wet what we need is minimal government interference and the encouragement to sort ourselves out - that would drive me to vote @RestoreBritain_

One of the laziest arguments against Restore Britain is that we’re ‘splitting the vote’. I entirely disagree. Voters are not the property of Farage or Reform. Votes are earned. Not owned. If people are leaving Reform and backing Restore Britain instead, that is not because we stole them. It is because Reform failed to keep them. That is politics. And frankly, the argument itself reveals a deeply arrogant mindset... The belief that millions of patriotic British people should simply fall into line blindly behind one party regardless of performance, principles or behaviour. It treats men and women like children. It’s patronising, and the British people deserve better. We’re all big enough and ugly enough to make our own minds up. And actually, in such a volatile electoral system - anything can happen. As we saw in Norfolk. When people voted for real change, they got it. In Great Yarmouth, when it was apparent that we were going to win, I don’t remember Reform standing down any candidates. In fact, they threw more and more at the campaign in order to beat us - drafting in councillors from across the country. The Tories accused Reform of splitting the vote at the last general, and they were rightly ignored. Look at how that has turned out. We now intend to do exactly the same, and more. Restore Britain exists because huge numbers of people now believe Britain requires something more serious, more disciplined, more radical and more honest than what currently exists. If Reform want those voters back, they are welcome to persuade them. In the meantime, we are going to continue making our positive case. If Brits don’t agree, they won’t vote for us. That’s fine. I don’t mind. But millions do, and millions will. Great Yarmouth proved the model - we battered Reform. If enough people vote for real change, they get it.
