Jazz, especially in the evening. Some of Bill Evans more sparse stuff, Dave Bruebeck quartet. I like the back and forth of ensemble playing too, musical conversations. Like you know what they’re saying? It’s a feeling, not a forgone conclusion. You dig?

Why do you think they’re so angry and spend so much time on Facebook?

These are two excellent videos by Kyle Hill, explaining where we are with nuclear power. They’re Invidious Links, because I block all trackers from Google, which means youtube doesn’t work for me. I put the titles beside the links in-case people want to search them up themselves. The War in Ukraine, The Far-right, the intolerance and the propaganda on social media. It’s because they want to push us to war. Electric cars, plus modern nuclear power means the end to the artificial energy crisis. Means the end to Petrostates like Russia, Saudi Arabia and what the US is fast turning into. The fossil fuel industry has suppressed this technology for the last 70 years. That is why they need us at war, because there are no electric tanks. Anyone who is skeptical about nuclear power, I urge you to watch these. I promise you, threatening Denmark over Greenland will make a lot more sense with this context.

Money, They cornered the market and then they started yielding the profits from it to exert political influence. That’s why molten Salt Thorium Reactors were abandoned by american scientists in the 60s. With nuclear power it would mean the end of for profit energy consumption. That plus the surveillance network of the billionaire class is what’s fueling all of the political tensions and far-right (See Fascism) around the world. Denmark is already capable of producing over 140% of its daily energy usage through wind alone. The guardian wrote an article about it in 2015. Wind is still less than 1% of all global energy production. Alberta gets 300 days of sun a year, but have been brainwashed by big oil to invent and reflexively disavow any information otherwise. Then the fossil fuel industry and tech industry launched the Brexit disinformation campaign to weaken the EU that same year. With the advent of China as well as Copenhagen Atomics producing working prototype reactors capable of producing staggeringly vast amounts of energy with less than 1000x the nuclear waste of traditional light water reactors, the change is inevitable. That’s what all of this is for them the war in Ukraine, Trump, Italy, Romania. It’s the fossil fuel industry. With the advent of nuclear power, the obviousness of the effects of climate change and advanced battery technology, the only way they can ensure a continuous demand is war. There are no electric tanks. Russia is a petro state, Saudi Arabia is a petro state, trump is trying to turn the US into an authoritarian petro state. It’s oil, they are the reason for all of this bullshit. Coal power plants are the most dangerous form of energy production, they kill approximately 1,000,000 people a year. We’ve had the technology to move away from them for over 70 years. That’s 70,000,000 dead people. That is more people than died in the entire second world war and we aren’t even talking about it because we’d rather just fall into arguing about transgenderism online than actually stopping them. It all goes back to fossil fuels.

That’s what the denigration of the term conspiracy theory was about. Did you notice? Conspiracy theory was a term made up by the CIA in order to dismiss peoples claims about government experimentation during the MK Ultra experiments. Media called those questioning 9/11 “truthers.” Which just so happened to include guys saying the planes were CGI and people who questioned how a group of goat herders from a country with literally zero infrastructure, living in caves, managed to hijack and divert commercial airliners in a perfect sequence of synchronistic events and American intelligence agencies, had no idea.

Now conspiracy theory means, The pyramids are ancient batteries, the flat earth conspiracy and heliocentricism. We have been conditioned to associate the term “Conspiracy Theory” with lunatics and junk science. This rejection of intellectualism is all carefully co-ordinated on platforms like tiktok and Youtube. They don’t want you to know things, if you see them for how they are you might rebel.

Started with 8Chan, where the same radicalised incels who support the rise of fascism worked in unison to move the Overton window. Allowing big Tech and Rupert Murdoch to constantly run propaganda against immigrants, whilst sustaining high levels of legal immigration to afford cheap labour and push the working class against eachother. All while Google, Meta, Microsoft and all of those clowns sell our active location Data collected from our phnes to Saudis, Russia and other extremely wealthy families so they could see businesses with less footfall during COVID, allowing them to bankrupt the global economy by shorting those companies through options. Netting them billions in profit and bankrupting businesses causing further economic downturn, in conjunction with the hostile takeover of the taxi cab and food delivery businesses. Further damaging restaurants and creating more unemployment, leading to fewer entry level jobs, normalising isolation and creating an atmosphere of distrust between people. Allowing for the further radicalisation of now unemployed young men by circulating millions of misleading, and sometimes, totally fake stories about immigrants. People that they brought here in the first place. All in order to push the world into a global conflict, buy up Earth and install themselves as the rulers of the ashes at the cost of billions of peoples lives.

Think “Zebra” (NA English) but with an ‘L’.

So, this is not necessarily a good thing. Whilst I am happy for all the good boys and girls. The National Institute of Health has shut down it’s labs testing the effects and treatment of ‘stress and sepsis induced cardiomyopathy’ on a large mammal. Mice and Rats are not good stand ins for people and so, in science, we test on larger mammals first, before primates and then humans. They are talking about replacing this step with, I shit you not, AI. This should not just be concerning, this should be inspiring people to get the fuck out of The United States. This is a quote from the article:

"As the watchdog that first uncovered and battled Dr. Fauci’s beagle tests (the biggest animal testing scandal in history), we’re proud that White Coat Waste has closed the NIH’s last in-house beagle laboratory—and the US government’s biggest dog lab,” said White Coat Waste Project Founder Anthony Bellotti in a statement to the Daily Caller News Foundation. “We applaud the President for cutting this wasteful NIH spending and will keep fighting until we defund all dog labs at home and abroad.”

This is part of RFK jr Gutting funding for medical science, framed as a positive. This is fucking awful news. Nobody likes experimenting on animals. But, trust me you want large mammal experimentation before drugs and other medical treatments come to market. You do not want Grok, or Copilot extrapolating results from rodent experiments to replace this step. This is bad news, very bad.

People will kiss anyone’s ass for enough money.

He’s been implicated in the recent genocide in Myanmar. Facebook cultivated the spread of the racist lies, allowed it to proliferate, spread in the region and then shorted companies operating there. If you know there’s going to be ethnic cleansing in the region, causing outrage and destabilisation, business takes a hit and the options pay off massively. All it takes was the deaths of thousands, but hey Mark has the capital to burn on his AR pet project that nobody wants.

an internet is a descriptor of two or more interconnected networks. The Internet is a proper noun which should actually be capital ‘T’ he capital ‘I’ nternet. You have “an internet” like ‘a universe’ and ‘The Internet’ like ‘The Universe.’

‘The Internet.’ You are almost correct, an internet is a descriptor of two or more interconnected networks. The Internet is a proper noun which should actually be capital ‘T’ he capital ‘I’ nternet. You have “an internet” like ‘a universe’ and ‘The Internet’ like ‘The Universe.’

I got my doggos and my girl looking after me. Remember to call home.

Thanks, She’s in and out of stability. With the extent of the frontal lobe damage, I hope she passes, because she won’t be my Mom anymore if she wakes up.

Imma say we don’t want a Lemmy Gestapo. Mods exist for a reason. Report the user to a Mod, it’s not that complicated.

Is it? Or is it just bullshit because Spacex, Palantir and Meta have over 7 Trillion Dollars in government contracts. Tesla is just the sacrificial lamb

Horseshit, They’ve always just spied on us and paid the fine. Fuck Cuckerberg and his malware ridden profiling apps.

Smart Technology has always been about removing our ability to effectively communicate with nuance and assess reality that’s what it’s for. Autocorrect so you can’t spell, google maps so you can’t find your way out of a paper bag without them. People’s lexicons have diminished, substantially since 2007. The quantity and variety of expressions used have dropped off majorly. All this connection with people all over the world and we use it to maintain quasi social relationships with people we hardly care about. It’s a joke.

Install Linux while you can, Meta has already banned groups discussing foss software.
