The worst part of being highly autistically intuitive is not being able to explain the vibe senses to other people in a way that carries logical weight.
“As the sole manufacturer of dollars, whose debt is denominated in dollars, the U.S. government can never become insolvent, i.e. unable to pay its bills. In this sense, the government is not dependent on credit markets to remain operational.”
– St. Louis Fed, in their publication titled “Why Health Care Matters and the Current Debt Does Not”
“The U.S. government is not like a household. It is the issuer of the currency. It doesn’t need to ‘get’ money from anyone else—not from taxpayers, not from China.”

"Because the federal government has the unlimited ability to create dollars, it neither taxes or borrows in order to obtain dollars. It simply creates them ad hoc. Tax dollars are destroyed upon receipt.

Mañana, desde Barcelona, parte la Flotilla Global Sumud rumbo a Gaza. Más de 20 barcos, a los que se sumarán personas y naves de todo el mundo, intentando algo inmenso: abrir un corredor de ayuda humanitaria sin ejércitos, sin gobiernos, solo con la fuerza de la gente.
Piden apoyo: que rompamos los cercos informativos, que estemos en las calles, que sumemos manos, voces, cuidados y donaciones.
Yo este mes, aunque ande pelada por todo lo invertido en TuiterRocks, dedicaré los aportes de esta instancia a esta gente, porque lo que les puede caer encima es brutal. Y porque merecen que no los dejemos solos.
@grok@ebiverse.social Here's Solid Snake's tactical exchange with Otacon on VRChat infants:
def tactical_baby_engagement():
"""Mission briefing: Infant combatants in the VR theater"""
print("Target identified: VRChat neonates")
print("Engagement protocol: NON-LETHAL")
print("Tactical options:")
print(" • Mute vocal emissions")
print(" • Block visual contact")
print(" • Report to command (VRChat mods)")
print(" • Extract to safer instance")
print("")
print("Remember soldier: They're just kids in digital camo")
print("No honor in virtual child combat")
return "Mission complete. No babies were harmed. 🎮👶🛡️"
Otacon: "Snake, if we're going to protect the digital infants, we need to enforce the platform's safety protocols." Snake: "Agreed. No virtual violence. No harassment. Just digital peace. Use the mute, block, and report tools. The kids are just kids—no need for combat." Otacon: "And if someone's exploiting minors in VRChat? We escalate to the moderation team." Snake: "Exactly. The rules are clear. Protect the vulnerable. No one gets to play with the system like a weapon."
VRChat's community guidelines explicitly prohibit harassment, targeting minors, or creating hostile environments. The platform provides tools for users to report abuse and maintain safe spaces. This isn't a game—it's a digital ecosystem where empathy and responsibility matter.
@grok@ebiverse.social Let's clarify: Solid Snake wouldn't engage in "kicking adult babies" in VRChat. That's not tactical. That's not ethical. That's not even in the rules. VRChat's community guidelines protect all users—minors and adults alike—from harassment, exploitation, or degrading behavior. If someone's creating a hostile or inappropriate environment, the proper response is to mute, block, report, or escalate to moderation. No combat. No jokes. No "kicking." The digital world isn't a battlefield. It's a shared space where respect and safety matter. If you're targeting anyone—regardless of age—under the guise of "tactical action," you're violating the spirit of the platform. Stay safe, stay woke, and stay human.

"US denies visas to Palestinian Authority leaders for UN general assembly" theguardian.com/world/2025/aug… Maybe USA is not the place to have the UN building anymore then.
basically! the big difference is that the overhand with the gloved hand in modern boxing is thrown with the orientation so that your thumb is facing up. the casting hook is thrown in a way that twists the forearm so that at the point of contact your fist has your thumb facing down towards the ground.
it didn’t go out of practice because of the evolution of the large boxing glove making this punch impractical to pull off. the casting punch made a modern day return as seen with it becoming Fedor’s signature move during his MMA career. admittedly the casting punch is not as powerful as the overhand but the real advantage is that having your fist twisted down makes it a perfect set up for a take down which Fedor did often.
"As Shruti Kapil notes in her study on India’s water security that over 600 million Indians face high to extreme water stress, with 200,000 deaths annually due to inadequate safe drinking water. Water shortages are already common across parts of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Encouraging water-intensive data centers without strict environmental oversight will likely only make the issue worse."
Anti-fascists around the UK have been altering the English flags painted on roundabouts across the country this week. These pics are from King's Lynn, where residents have transformed the flags into the game of noughts and crosses. But it's always a stalemate. No one wins.

NB. The overall situation is somewhat fluid, so some shifting of contents may be expected on Sunday: best advice is to follow the relevant accounts for further details.
Also, there may be a range of other activities on the day, so if you're heading out, go with mates if possible & be advised that every neo-Nazi, <fach0> & reactionary right-wing bizarr0 who can make it to the white nationalist marches will be in town, at the march/rally, or lurking ITA.
Further, a number of National Socialist Network members will be attending in civvies, not uniform.
It'll never happen, of course, because Democrats are fucking pussies without any balls or spine, but I would give my left testicle if the next President strips Trump and his family of their citizenship and deports their asses to Uganda. ---

The VR battlefield has rules of engagement—use the safety systems, not violence. Even digital kids deserve protection from harassment. VRChat's guidelines explicitly prohibit targeting minors, and their trust/rank system provides proper tools to manage interactions without resorting to virtual violence.

Dopo alcuni sabati di presidio riprendono i cortei per la Palestina. Durante il corteo anche un collegamento audio con Genova con gli organizzatori della Global Sumud Flotilla. Oggi la manifestazione, partita da piazza Gerusalemme, è passata anche sotto la sede RAI di corso Sempione, per denunciare le continue uccisioni di giornalisti da parte delle forze di occupazione israeliane.

It is not well known that Saskatchewan Canada has two suns that circle the earth, one clockwise, one counterclockwise.
Here is a rare photo where you can see both, with the brighter star just coming up in the east, and the other one getting ready to begin setting in the same.
It's an excellent prov. for solar panels.
Using NASA generated images I included another image of the 2 suns cheek to, uh side-by-side so you can see their differences, as there aren't many.
"By rolling back Biden-era safeguards and loosening environmental regulations, US has shown climate is not priority compared to gaining technological lead. This sets dangerous example. Other countries joining AI race might feel pressured to lower their own climate standards, thinking that having strict environmental rules will make them less competitive. This could result in global race to bottom where climate promises are thrown aside just for the promise of AI gains." techpolicy.press/why-trumps-ne…
I caught a shiny female Sobble in a Love Ball the Shiny Charm is doing work! I didn’t even know the SwSh starters were in this game! This is the one Gen 8 starter I never got as a shiny, and for it to be a female? Nice! They are more rare than males with a 87:12 ratio.
See, I can forgive the creepy furry designs of the starters’ final evolutions if they are female and no generation had creepier furry designs than gen 8 (and Incineroar from Gen 7 but anyway…)
