It blew my mind how baby would scream and cry before being put down for nap / bedtime and then be asleep 5 seconds later.

This is the book you need. The key is to tell when she is tired and fighting sleep vs not tired & crying because she’s alone.

When she is crying because she is fighting drowsiness, stimulating her by holding her or rocking her is not doing her a favor.

Seraphim Rose and others have covered the demon / UFO issue. Tim Alberino has a different point of view. This glib dismissal shows a total ignorance of the subject.

[Fan Commentary: Joe Rogan Recaps @JoeRoganRecaps]

Joe Rogan and Jesse Michels just questioned whether JD Vance really believes UFOs are “DEMONS” or if he’s just telling Christian voters what they want to hear:

CONTEXT: Vance really has publicly connected UFOs to demons.

Earlier this year, he told Benny Johnson:
“I don’t think they’re aliens. I think they’re demons anyway.”

He said that when he hears about seemingly otherworldly beings, his instinct is to interpret them through his Christian worldview and pointing out that religions have described powerful supernatural beings for thousands of years.

That wasn’t completely random.

Vance converted to Catholicism in 2019 after previously describing himself as having gone through an atheist period.

And politically, Christian voters are a massive part of the coalition he serves.
Pew found that in the 2024 election:

• 81% of White evangelical Protestants voted for Trump.

• Trump also won 55% of Catholic voters.

That doesn’t prove Vance is pandering.
But it explains why Michels thinks the “demon” framing deserves scrutiny.

ROGAN: “I pressed him on that. He didn’t really have a good explanation for why he called aliens demons.”

MICHELS: “He kind of laughed very uncomfortably because he didn’t know what to say.”

“He says he hasn’t had time to look into it.”

ROGAN: “He’s had plenty of time to go to church. Like listen bro just look into it.”

WORTH NOTING: Here’s the wrinkle that makes this more complicated:

When Rogan actually challenged Vance about the demon theory during their July interview, Vance gave a much more nuanced explanation than “UFOs are literally demons.”

His argument was essentially this:

If some extremely advanced, nonhuman intelligence appeared to humans, possessed capabilities that looked supernatural and behaved maliciously, people throughout history might have interpreted that being as a demon even if it were actually some technologically advanced intelligence.

And when Rogan pushed him on whether aliens and demons could simply be two completely different things, Vance conceded that they absolutely could.

So Vance’s position appears to have evolved from:

“I think they’re demons.”

to something closer to:

“A sufficiently powerful malicious nonhuman intelligence might be indistinguishable from what humans historically called a demon.”

That’s a much different claim.

There’s also a second part of Michels’ criticism that’s harder for Vance to dodge.

Vance has described himself as “obsessed” with UFOs, said he has access to extremely high levels of classified information, and publicly promised:

“I’m going to get to the bottom of the UFO files.”

Yet he has also repeatedly acknowledged that he simply hasn’t made investigating them a priority yet.

And despite all the speculation surrounding aliens, demons, interdimensional beings and secret programs, the Pentagon’s official UAP office still says it has found no verifiable evidence of extraterrestrial beings, activity or technology.

So there are really two unanswered questions here:

Does JD Vance genuinely believe the “demon” framework is the best explanation for UAP or is Michels right that religious language is partly political signaling?

And perhaps more importantly:

MAIN TAKEAWAY: If the Vice President is genuinely obsessed with this subject and has extraordinary access to classified information…why speculate publicly before actually looking at the files?

H1Bs are a scam.

It was started for distinguished merit and ability, not to flood mediocre workers with “engineering degrees”. Major lobbying from Tata, Cognizant, Infosys loosened the criterias of acceptance.

If industrial policy isn’t first and foremost about making sure American young people can get into these high-skill jobs without drowning in debt, then what the fuck is the point of any of it?

@pitdesi @agupta @grok Many reasons. Charging workers for getting them into the US, having multiple workers under one visa, benching workers to fill dead shifts, foot in the door for other immigration scams like faked robberies for U visas, etc.

Regarding the serendipity / synchronicity

There was a study that showed much of “life’s luck” was really the persons openness and how often they said “yes”

America’s greatest accomplishments are all downstream from our ability to advantageously re-arrange molecules. From skyscrapers to nuclear power, stealth fighters to oil refineries. Engineering is, in fact, one of the most uniquely American activities one can engage in.

The last time I felt this bad about an election was in 2020.
The Democrat machine is going to absolutely pummel Darline Graham, and a lot of Ralph Norman voters have said they won’t vote in November. I know what’s at stake here, but it’s going to be very hard to vote for her.
Tim Scott’s NRSC is a disaster. They don’t care if they lose. He’s on vacation while the Democrat candidates are winning swing states that could be ours. He’s spending money on establishment Republican candidates in primaries. Primaries!
The South Carolina legislature is filled with the same type of politicians. We can’t get closed primaries, or kick James Clyburn out of office.
God bless President Trump, but it seems like he’s only interested in his own four years. Midterms are going to be a bloodbath.

Apple got greedy, lost in court and now gaming app revenue is down 5% on App Store as the biggest games move their purchases off platform.

Had to get that 30% including on non game apps and subscriptions.

Every guy with brains that I knew from school in the 90’s & early 00’s studied computer tech and worked in IT. Even guys who went into the military trained in IT. It was THE field to get into back then.

[Hunter Ryerson @huntryerson]

My dad grew up in one of the most rural parts of NC. Thanks to the Duke Talent Identification Program, which ran a talent search across the rural South to find and uplift smart American kids, he was thrown an intellectual life preserver. He then double majored in math and CS, and went on to get his finance PhD.

That program doesn’t exist anymore.

Now, when a top university wants stem talent, they import it en masse from Asia, and fasttrack those immigrants to high paying US jobs. How many brilliant rural kids are out there now (in the “flyover states” @agupta smeared) waiting for a life preserver that never comes? Neglecting American STEM talent was one of our most egregious errors.

[Louis T. Getterman IV — 🇺🇸/acc @ltgiv]

@Cernovich Correct. These are some of the government buildings that I serviced as a teenager barely old enough to drive (and how I got my foot in the door at Police Dept), and before that, my first job offer for working on infrastructure was when I was 14 (with me having started work at 13)

3 kids for me, considering age 0-5, was a 10 year stretch. Mom was mostly gone so I saw all of it. A valuable thing. Cost me a dime or two but wouldn’t trade it
