THREAD 🧵🧵🧵 Let’s dive into the #MudFlood#Tartaria is the wackiest rabbit hole in the world of fake archaeology. Supposedly, the #OldWorld was destroyed 1-200 years ago, and an advanced global society and its #FreeEnergy were wiped out

The influencer telling you to distrust your doctor has no liability if they are wrong.
Your physician does.
That asymmetry matters. It should factor into who you listen to.
As someone with Stage 4 melanoma, this news makes me smile. Hopefully I won't need this new drug. Hopefully it will be available in time, if I do
Fuck ignorant sheeple for trying to shut down life-saving mRNA research. Science over stupidity
An experimental vaccine from Moderna shows promise in keeping deadly skin cancer from returning for years, according to new clinical trial results. https://t.co/UCVfhRE8na
Suno - a company that trained on "essentially all music files of reasonable quality that are accessible on the open Internet", and argues it does not need to pay to do so - is now valued at $5.4 billion.
They will pay for GPUs, and for engineers, but not, apparently, for the music they use - other people's music - without which their models would not work.
I know lots of musicians who will be upset. I am with them.
@ericford31 Yeah if your politics are contributing to shutting down cancer research, then you are ignorant & hurting people
Because politicians are shutting down this life-saving research because idiots are shouting lies about mRNA
mRNA jabs aren't carcinogenic. You've been fed lies
As someone with Stage 4 cancer, I can assure you the first point is a blatant lie. Without treatment, I'd have died months ago. With it, well I'm living and enjoying life. These people are actively harming others with their idiocy
Unpopular opinions but:
The effects of cancer treatments are worse than the cancer.
The effects of SSRIs are worse than depression.
The effects of vaccines are worse than any illness.
Pharmaceutical products do prevent illnesses nor address the root causes of them.
"Globally, we’ve lost over 50% of the phytoplankton biomass since the 1950s, and we’re continuing to lose it about 1 to 2 percent a year. Never mind nuclear war. This is what’s going to kill us.”
You know the phytoplankton that creates most our our oxygen

Stupid. The usefulness of a language depends on context: what you want to do, where you want to go, who you want to talk to, and what you want to read
If I go to Albania, the most useful language to know is Albanian followed by Greek and Italian
Learn languages. They're great
My tier list of languages by how useful they are.
Yes, there is nothing in A tier. English is just that goated. Chinese would be in A tier if it was less difficult.
The University has become a cash grab 4 corporations, consulting firms, upper admin (Prez, VPs, Provosts), coaches+other parasites skimming millions off the back of students going into debt/the work of underpaid staff+faculty. Never any money bc there's always a financial crisis.
Transgenic mice have led to countless medical breakthroughs, including the cancer treatment that is saving my life. So yeah, I'm in favor of trans-ing the mice. If you're not, you're stupid
“If we stop measuring climate change, there is no climate crisis”
“If we erase January 6th, it didn’t happen”
“If we don’t release certain inflation data, there’s no inflation”
“If we don’t measure food insecurity, no one’s hungry”
“If we delete research on right-wing violence, there’s no right-wing violence”
“If we stop Covid testing, we’ll have fewer cases”
The Trump administration is hiding data so you can’t truly see how corrupt and incompetent they are.
@DarrigoMelanie The U.S. is now a culture of lies. It reminds me of what Alexander Solzhenitsyn said about Soviet Russia:
We know they are lying. They know they are lying. They know that we know are lying. We know that they know that we know that they are lying. And still they continue to lie.
