$200b is barely anything and the executive spending has already increased over that amount.

i don't have time to deal with this


Then why even fucking bother man? It literally changes nothing at all for anyone's life for you to "be right" about something. You need to get offline. You just argue for the sake of arguing. I knew a guy like you in church and he was the most annoying person to deal with.

You were also totally wrong about your "LLMs can Reason" .. no they literally fucking can't. They are literally next token prediction machines. You literally don't seem to understand the complexity of reasoning as a human. But I didn't reply because it didn't matter and you already sounded enough of a retard without my help.

The highlight of my day is watching a shirtless, barefoot, Aussie make charcoal and kiln-fired clay bricks by hand.

Got 3 different vaccinations today (Pneumonia, shingles and a COVID booster). Arm is sore, naturally, and now I'm starting to feel the vaccine blahs 🫩

COVID vax doesn't usually do me too bad, so it may be one of the others, or just having all three at once.

In any case, lethargy and mild malaise for a day or two are much preferable to COVID, shingles or pneumonia, so.

Got to get them in before RFK jr bans them.

Washington’s Right to Repair Bill Heads to the Governor

"The right to repair just keeps on winning. Last week, thanks in part to messages from EFF supporters, the Washington legislature passed a strong consumer electronics right-to-repair legislation through both the House and Senate. The bill affirms our right to repair by banning restrictions that keep people and local businesses from accessing the parts,

The USA is already saying goodbye to the rule that a president may only serve two terms in office and is taking its lead from Russia, where this has also been abolished.

STATIN BIG PHARMA POISON FYI

It's #FairtradeMusicFriday! Here's a new submission thread for May.

As always, submit your own release or someone else's, it can be by #FediMusicians or not, hosted on #Bandcamp, #Faircamp, #JamCoop, #Mirlo or #SelfHosted, as long as it is by an #IndieArtist - it doesn't even need to be new.

Just make a direct public comment (with a link & description) to this post and it will appear at isitfairtrademusicfri.day automagically!

Buying or boosting will make an artist's day 💙

I think it is okay to move past the anti-PBR backlash. The hipsters all got way into it and they were wrong, and they're dead. They're all dead, okay?

So now, you know...PBR is a fine beverage. It's just fine. There is nothing wrong with it. It's a reasonable beer. I have drunk it many times, I would drink it again. I actually avoided it for a long time because of the hipster thing. But they're dead now: they have died, and they're dead. You don't have to fight them any more, the war is over.

So no one has to tell me how much they hate PBR if I post an image of an anime girl drinking PBR.

The money you spend at Spotify, Apple, etc DOES NOT GO TO ARTISTS for the most part. The money that DOES go to artists on those platforms goes by and large to the 1% of musicians -- the Taylor Swifts and the Beatles and BTS's of the world-- who have leverage to get decent contracts. Your typical independent, o and even many/most "successful" artists on smaller labels, make essentially NOTHING from streaming.
in reply to Ether Diver

By contrast, today at least, EVERY DOLLAR YOU SPEND goes into an artist's pocket (ok, we still pay payment processing fees, but it's like 50 cents). And even on a normal day, Bandcamp takes a *very* reasonable 15% of each sale.

Three sales today is equal, or better, to a YEAR'S worth of typical streaming revenue for the majority of artists out there...

And the bottom line is, if you don't support the art you like, it's going to stop being made.

And yes, I'm one of those artists (and here's my album, just in case:
etherdiver.bandcamp.com/) but this isn't even about me per se; if this post inspired zero sales for me but one for another indie artist, it's done its job.

THE STREAMING ECONOMY IS A LIE. SUPPORT ART WITH DIRECT PAYMENTS.

in reply to Ether Diver

One more note for those that don't know: it actually COSTS ARTISTS MONEY to be on the streaming services! While it's not a huge amount (starts at $20 a year), it's actually a net loss for possibly the MAJORITY of artists on those platforms. How fucked up is that?!?

By contrast, Bandcamp allows you to directly upload your music and host it FOR FREE, even if you don't charge people to download it.

So yeah. Support artists, not streaming corporations.

It's Not Just Antisemitism; It's Marxist Indoctrination

townhall.com/columnists/laurah…

The problem at Harvard, the other Ivies & academia in general isn't antisemitism per se; it is Marxism and the mandated groupthink that accompanies it. Watching adherents of the prevailing ideologies in academia is like watching schools of fish; if someone with the correct status decided it was time to promote Israel rather than denounce it, many of today’s most vocal antisemites would switch gears in a heartbeat.

White people will regain self determination if, and only if we support each other.

#1 Separation of church and state.

#2 Religions in the US pay no taxes, therefore there should be no protections afforded them by the US. To set protections for all religions, this would include religions that tell their followers to commit violence against those who don't follow their religion. (here's looking at you Koran readers)

Trump failed in this presidential action. We now get to pay taxes so the violent religions are free to kill us

It’s worth a listen, Trump and the vaccine rollout, it makes some sense

stopworldcontrol.com
This film answers the question everyone has: "Why did Trump release the vaccines?" You will discover how the true agenda of the pandemic was to have ten years of lockdowns, followed by a Great Reset of the entire world. The pandemic was supposed to lead to the New World Order. But it didn't happen. What stopped it?

In a move that could reshape how civil rights law is enforced in America, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order on April 23rd targeting the controversial legal doctrine of disparate impact — and the mainstream media is ignoring its major impact on purpose.

Florida Sky Watchers
"Attorney Catherine Ybarra recently presented shocking findings on military planes spraying chemicals—not just high-altitude Stratosphere operations, but low-level flights over populated areas. Her team uncovered that the U.S. Air Force has a specialized artillery unit, using C-130 Hercules planes, to spray chemicals such as Naled (an organophosphate banned in the EU) for mosquito control among other toxic chemicals. These findings revealed through FOIA Requests.

Air Force documents show planes dispersing chemicals over places near Langley AFB, VA. They map areas to avoid—like bald eagle nests—but not residential zones.

Ybarra highlighted the technology involved. Battelle, a defense contractor, developed advanced spray systems (per their patents). These nozzles can disperse fine mists of pesticides, antibiotics, even vaccines or DNA fragments.

Used on planes, drones, maybe helicopters, the spraying leaves visible clouds—not always “chemtrail” lines, but noticeable. Health risks? Studies link organophosphates to cancer, neurological damage, and more. Yet it’s sprayed where people live. Is this cure worse than the disease? Ybarra asks why eagle nests are prioritized over human health. The patents raise bigger questions about long-term impacts. minds.com/newsfeed/17535176145…

It is literally impossible to explain ADHD task avoidance to people who don't experience it, I think.

It has to sound absolutely insane to just sit around, filled with dread and anxiety, not doing a small thing you "could do any time" that really needs to get done. And to just continue that way for hours, days, weeks, months, even fucking years.

Like, who lives that way? How can anyone live that way? (I live that way, but I don't know how I survive)

in reply to Artemis

part of it for me is a negative reinforcement loop. You have initial task avoidance, and then every time you think of it, you recoil from it. Your brain learns 'if I think of x, I will feel bad', and just...stops thinking of x. Until you think of it again, and you recoil even more because you still haven't done it.

And then, every once in a while, my brain relents, and I Do All The Things in one wildly productive morning/day/week. Maddening.

New Heterodorx podcast! Episode 168: SSRIs, ADHD, and Medical Trends with Julia Mason, MD heterodorx.substack.com/p/ssri…

After several conversations about antidepressants, the Dorx welcome back pediatrician Dr. Julia Mason, who prescribes Selective Seretonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) to young people. Do we even know what these drugs do to developing brains? How do antidepressants compare with “gender-affirming care”? Does Barlean’s Fish Oil really taste like lemon custard? We also talk about myelnation, the distress of youth, the parasympathetic nervous system, neurotransmitters, immunosuppression, social costs and benefits of treatments, wildly swinging trends in medicine, unintended consequences, public schools, and the over-diagnoses of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Medical institutions have a lot to answer for, but at least we have Nampons for nosebleeds.
