It has been ZERO days since the last government interference

For completists (and those thinking of starting the series for the first time): MASTER ALVIN’s publication will be accompanied by a re-release, in trade paperback ONLY, of the earlier volumes in the series — and several will now incorporate the standalone Alvin Maker short stories that were published throughout the years. The bonus material will be included in Books 3-6 (Prentice Alvin, Alvin Journeyman, Heartfire, and Crystal City) and will appear in each book approximately where they occurred in the timeline of events in the saga. Below are the links which will take you to their Tor (Macmillan) pages, where you’ll find links to all booksellers where the reissued trade paperbacks (5” x 8” size) will be sold. (Heartfire is not quite ready to ship, but will be soon). us.macmillan.com/books/97812504… us.macmillan.com/books/97812504… us.macmillan.com/books/97812504… us.macmillan.com/books/97812504… us.macmillan.com/books/97812504…

I'm quite proud of this shot.

Astrophysicists have found evidence of UAPs in old photographic plates. Something seems to have been orbiting around our planet before we had satellites! This finding has been independently confirmed. Still, scientists are afraid to speak out. @DrBeaVillarroel @Rizstanford

@Timcast Guy: $36,900 on polymarket, Corporate: Billions in climate change levvies

Ender’s Game is what I’m known for, and gratefully so. But it may be The Tales of Alvin Maker through which, if you tell me you’ve read them, I feel most known. Master Alvin, the final book of the series, will be out this Tuesday, April 28. Thank you to those who’ve patiently waited, and those who have eagerly prodded… and all who’ve taken these stories to heart and made them finer for being there.

@lsanger AI: Oh hey, it's likely you're frustrated. Sometimes a person wants to harm another person when they're frustrated It's illegal to harm another person Of course you're allowed to practice If you take that weapon off of your property then that drone...

This is truly horrific. I agree with the guy who said this needs to be made into a war crime, like chemical weapons.

I believe every immigrant to the UK should be given a chance. However, if they break the law then apply a system of warnings. If they break it three times, after the third, instant deportation. No appeal, banned from entering the UK for life. We do not need to import more criminals, we have enough of our own to deal with.

The Crime and Policing Bill is making its way through Parliament right now. Do you know what it contains? Do you know how your MP voted? Have your say at houseofthepeople.com

holy fuck, a hair dryer at a Paris airport broke Polymarket weather markets & made someone $34,000 richer - polymarket was settling Paris temperature bets on a single Météo France sensor sitting near the Charles de Gaulle runway perimeter - basically unguarded - the guy bought the long-shot outcome (like "22°C" when everyone expected 18°C) for pennies, since nobody thought it'd hit - then he walked up to the probe and briefly heated the air around it with a portable heat source, spiking the reading just long enough to register as the daily max - temperature snapped back to normal in minutes, the market resolved in his favor, and he cashed out - twice, on April 6 and April 15, before Météo France caught on and filed charges hyperstitions.

Talk to anyone on the street and they will have plenty to say about the state of this country. But there is no meaningful way for them to say it where it actually counts. That is what House of the People is there to fix. houseofthepeople.com

@elonmusk Enough coverage to turn the atmosphere into a laser monitored warehouse. Should counter those 5g delayed reflection aircraft.

@harrym_vids "Think of the mainstream"

So taxing my 2015 Jaguar Project 7 for 12 months costs £790 but taxing my 2018 Project 8 for 12 months costs £200. Same engine and both EU6 compliant, just 3 years newer but road tax is 4x the cost. Where’s the logic in that?

@Timcast There are 26,298,000 minutes in 50 years, not only is that a very limited material handling timeframe the limit also applies to how many people you can know on a day to day basis. Hardly any would thoroughly expend their handling time, and if they did they'd hardly talk.

You can't fund UBI through taxing AI The math does not add up You need greater input than output for the system to function and taxing AI to give UBI generates massive output with insufficient input. The cost of the system will be greater than the revenue dispersed creating a negative feedback loop and economic regression The argument then becomes that UBI will only be supplemental but you still run into the inflation problem again. When given a choice between working 40 hours a week and receiving 10K UBI and 15K wages many people would choose unlimited free time and 10k In order to then hire someone for jobs we cannot automate you have to then increase pay for those jobs thus the cost of the good increases and the 10k supplemental now is largely useless for most goods and services I break the question down like this How many people do you know play guitar? Most say quite a few How many would choose to be a musician professionally if they had the choice? Most say in fact quite a few How many have the talent to actually make it? none if any And that still assumes most people would choose to pursue a passion with some economic benefit The reality is that many people would choose UBI and 40 hours of some creative work that ultimately provides no functional value to society and that generates no revenue. We effectively use tech to subsidize net negative output from people That system is bound to implode The most important thing to understand is that there are core necessities such as housing and healthcare that cannot be meaningfully automated. UBI is a pipe dream that can't even exist in a society with replicators from Star Trek. Land is still owned or leased and money is the means of distribution. If you want to argue for government control of property then youre just arguing for techno-communism

@elonmusk They gotta get them millions before the next dlc

Grok Imagine

@pcapdodger @pelositracker @JamesOKeefeIII "stated"

@pelositracker @JamesOKeefeIII So an Army employee admitted war crimes are on going... Anything gonna happen?

Breaking: A U.S. Army Nuclear Chief was just caught on hidden camera leaking classified information to a stranger in a restaurant, per @JamesOKeefeIII His name is Andrew Hugg, Branch Chief of Nuclear Chemical Surety at the Pentagon since August 2024 He confirmed: • Plans to assassinate Iran's next Supreme Leader if he "doesn't change" • U.S. airstrikes have killed children in Iran • The U.S. still possesses nerve agents • A U.S. Army chemist died from nerve agent exposure If this is what the Branch Chief of Nuclear Chemical Surety tells a stranger, imagine what Congress hears in committee briefings...

I received a false copyright claim on one of my videos and YouTube removed the video because of this. It's a video about the Riemann Hypothesis. The claim comes from some person who submits a link to their paper about "The Continuity Engine: A Formally Verified Framework Prime Resonance Unification with Medical, Physical, Mathematical Evidence" with links to two unpublished papers that are completely unrelated to my video content. It's obviously some crackpot work, I receive dozens of those a day. YouTube took the video down based on this false claim. The only way they allow me to react to this requires me to submit my personal contact information to some random crank on the internet. Alternatively, I am supposed to hire a lawyer (!!) on my own costs, to track down some random guy from whom I then have to extract my up-front expenses. I have complained to YouTube support about this multiple times. No success, the video is still down. This procedure is completely unacceptable. It allows random people to try and blackmail me into responding to them. I have no time for this bullshit and no patience either. Frankly the only sensible course of action forward that I see is to sue YouTube for facilitating fraudulent DCMA claims. @YouTubeCreators @YouTube

What's this? Oh just perfectly carved out pre-historic "train/cart tracks" into solid bedrock. Just the one example? No... There are hundreds of these mysterious tracks all across the island of Malta. Nobody knows why, how or who.
