A small public service announcement from the Department of Things That You Should Know…
It has not “peeked” your interest.
Nor has it “peaked” your interest.
…It has piqued your interest.
You are not “phased” by something.
You are fazed by it.
If you’ve had a long day, you are weary.
If you suspect someone is an idiot, you are wary.
It is “due course”, not “do course”.
“Per se”, not “per say”.
And while we’re here, it’s “could have”, not “could of”, but that particular battle may already be lost.
Thank you for your attention during this brief outbreak of grammatical housekeeping.
This has been a @LairdofthManor announcement.🎩💙
In 1974 a professor stood in front of a hall of children, lifted a spinning wheel weighing 40 pounds over his head with one arm, and told them Newton's laws might not cover what they just saw. The Royal Institution had been publishing its Christmas Lectures since 1825. His they did not publish.
The man is Eric Laithwaite. Not a crank on the fringe. He invented the linear induction motor, the technology under maglev trains, and held the chair of heavy electrical engineering at Imperial College.
The demonstration is the part you have to see. The wheel is dead weight, so heavy that lifting it normally takes real effort. Spun up to 2,500 revolutions per minute it goes up over his head as if someone removed most of it. He is not straining. That is the whole problem.
The physics establishment came down on him hard, and his reputation never fully recovered. The standard answer is that nothing is being violated and the effort simply moves somewhere you are not watching. Laithwaite spent the rest of his life saying that answer arrives too quickly and explains too little.
Watch the wheel go up, then decide who you think is right.
The whole set of lectures sat unavailable for decades. The Royal Institution finally put them online, free, and the controversial one has barely 4 thousand views.
Science does not stop being science when the demonstration is uncomfortable. Somebody has to lift the wheel again.
One wheel. 2,500 rpm. It is in the video.
When you want to make a point and your spelling cancels any chance of being taken seriously. 😒
“How do you know *you’re* being played”. (You are = you’re)

Why does the media give nonstop coverage to a 16-year-old reading from a script, but completely ignore a real climatologist with over 140 scientific papers who calls climate change a hoax? This is media manipulation. 😡🤡

@elonmusk For those asking why I got suspended, this was the offending tweet from 2020.
Still not 100% sure if was the 'OK' or the 'dude' that was considered 'hateful'.
The FBI raided our house at dawn for my son being in the Capitol for 37 seconds. He passed a long line of cops that were standing by and did not keep anyone from entering. He did not arm anyone, he did not break anything. He obeyed and left when a cop told him to leave. To this day we do not know why he singled him out as he did not seemed to be bothered by the rest of the crowd. Another line of cops found nothing what also inside in that room.
Those FBI agents reminded me of the gestapo my parents talked about when I was a kid in France. Tho they were not as brutal, they still followed an oder blindly. They would not show us the arrest warrant.
My son actually had an appointment to go talk to them. Rather than waiting for his visit, they decided to make this unnecessary show of force three days before the appointment.
They spent hours at our house searching everywhere for “evidence��. They took his work computer forcing us to buy another one when he was release from jail 21 days later. They took his phone. His devices still have not been returned and by the time they are they will be obsolete.
They terrified our family and put everyone in handcuff except me because I think they run out of them.
Kevin, the lead agent is a rabbit leftist. I guess he enjoyed his role in this raid.
America today is not like the country I came to in 1981 as a young bride with our first baby.
I will continue to expose the present tyranny and unfair treatment of J6ers.
Those you rioted at the Capitol lately will not get the same treatment as J6ers and we knew that right then when it happened. The left continue to call J6 an insurrection. They have no clue what a real insurrection is and what our rights are according to the constitution. They took the classes who taught it off the school curriculum. Seems intentional so people are left ignorant and easy to manipulate. People have the right to ask for a redress of their grievances. This was denied to them. The Capitol police made sure of that.
If the million plus people who were at the Capitol that day had wanted to do an insurrection there were enough ex-military to do it and have hardly any resistance. However it was no one’s intention. The DOJ and its prosecutors have made up a narrative to take down President Trump. It was their goal from the beginning. J6 was a setup. J6 was a coup. They know it and we know it.
I pray that God will restore our country though this country kicked him out of schools and slaughtered 60 million plus babies. Our country does not deserve his grace, our country does not deserves his mercy. However at this very low point in our history we still need to pray for his forgiveness and unmerited mercy and grace.
Today over 210 J6ers are unjustly incarcerated for 30 days to 22 years. Meanwhile Antifa, BLM, and Hamas supporters are roaming free ready to do more damage at any time. They are a protected class.
God will bring justice in his own time.
