It’s amazing how each administration gets worse than the one before it every time.
Hard to imagine another administration can get more fraudulent, more corrupt, less responsive to the public and generally worse than the Trump administration.
But it will happen.
@SarcasmStardust My local library was clearing the shelves and giving the books away. I now have an amazing collection of hard cover books on a wide variety of topics.
@iontecs_pemf@TrevorL415 I knew Eric well. His half-wild dog threw up in that Toyota after eating raccoon shit behind our warehouse. He drove away in a fit and left the dog with us. A week later I tracked him down at a local coffee shop and returned the dog. Many crazy stories!
I don’t want to "download the app" to pay for parking. I don’t want to "create an account" to see a menu. I don’t want to "provide feedback" on a 30-second interaction. I just want to exist in the physical world without a digital leash.
🚨Americans should know this: There are around 800,000 to 900,000 Jewish settlers in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and none of them work. They live off government funding — free housing, free healthcare, free everything.
And your tax dollars pay for it.
It's becoming clearer and clearer that China's AI open source strategy may end up being seen as one of the greatest strategic masterstrokes of all time.
They started with a clear resource and technological disadvantage - mainly due to the US semiconductor export controls - and have managed to change the rules of engagement in such a way that the US's own tech leaders and officials are now publicly siding with China's approach against their own companies. Which is pretty extraordinary.
When you can't fight symmetrically, make the adversary's way of fighting obsolete and self-defeating.
And the greatest irony in all this is - had the US not done the export controls - there's a decent chance that not only China wouldn't have gone for the open-source approach but the US would have made an enormous amount of money selling compute to them.
Now they're getting neither the money nor the containment.
Who can explain to me how 10+ independent Canadian “wild” fires all started at the same time across a span of almost 200 miles?
Ask your favorite AI what the odds of lightening causing this are. I’ll wait.
There’s one really easy way to DEW this, tho.
This is why our ecosystem will die
In Ontario, a group is openly netting fish out of a stream like it’s their personal property. Someone confronts them and they just keep going.
This isn’t cultural enrichment. This is straight-up illegal poaching that destroys fish stocks for everyone else.
While law-abiding Canadians follow the rules, pay for licences, and watch our waterways collapse, others treat Canadian resources like an all-you-can-take buffet.
11 years of wide-open immigration with zero enforcement has consequences. This is one of them.
Our fish, our rivers, our rules. Enforce them — or keep pretending this is normal.

Per my local police department, Flock charges approximately $3000/year per camera.
So American taxpayers are spending $349,671,000 per year to be constantly monitored. Most Americans are unaware this is happening.
@therealDeFlock
In 1 month, Flock cameras have been misused by police in:
- Pasadena
- Racine
- Greer, SC
- Albany, GA
- San Francisco
- Mountain View, CA
- Milwaukee
- Plymouth, MN
- Norfolk, VA
Colorado also leaked a large amount of personal data collected by Flock.
No more surveillance
