Trump is ushering in the Golden Age for the entire world.

He is forcing all other countries to become competitive.

The system that Trump is implementing is forcing other countries to adopt similar measures in order to be competitive.

The other countries also realize that if they delay their structural reforms, they will be left behind.

The reforms include:

  • Eschew globalist institutions
  • Promote small market capitalism
  • Wield tariffs as a tool to stabilize domestic industry
  • Deregulate
  • Promote innovation
  • Promote personal responsibility
  • Avoid war
  • Help other countries that want to embrace these structural changes.

Competition leads to maximum prosperity, stability and personal freedom

Back in the day, there was a fad among programmers for, well, having blood in their caffeine stream. See Jolt Cola: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolt_Col…

Is being highly caffeinated still something people brag about (more than in the larger culture)?

Or is it all microdosing hallucinogens, etc.? Or whatever replaced that?

(It’d be interesting to see the demographics of microdosing. It feels like something driven by Thought Leaders rather than bottom-up, but I’m out of touch.)

> A friend of mine runs an image board for furry art. He thought that people would use generative AI tools as a part of their workflows to make better works of art faster. He was wrong, it just led to people flooding the site with the results of "wolf girl with absolutely massive milkers showing her feet paws" from their favourite image generation tool in every fur color imaginable, then with different characters, then with different anatomical features. There was no artistic direction or study there. Just an endless flood of slop that was passable at best.

oh come on, the only issue here is the volume of slop it enables, humans create tons of this furry beatoff material purely by hand with no regard for "art".

Michael Jackson - Billie Jean (Official Video)

"Billie Jean" was the first short film made for 'Thriller,' the biggest-selling album of all time. The short film for this No. 1 single, directed by Steve Barron, made history as the first video by a black artist to receive heavy rotation on MTV, and was later ranked by the network as one of the 100 greatest music videos of all time.

Michael Jackson's short film for "Billie Jean" was the first of three short films produced for recordings from Thriller, which continues its reign as the biggest selling album of all time with worldwide sales in excess of 105 million as of June 1, 2016 and in December, 2015 became the first ever album to be awarded triple diamond status by the RIAA for US sales alone. The ""Billie Jean"" single reached No. 1 in 10 countries in the spring of 1983, including seven consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 - becoming the second-highest selling single in America that same year.

"Billie Jean" was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America on April 4, 1983, and Platinum on February 4, 1989. The song won two Grammy Awards for Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance - Male, as well as an American Music Award for Favorite Single - Pop/Rock and was also named the Single of the Year on The Village Voice Pazz & Jop critics' poll in 1983.

The short film featured a paparazzo attempting to photograph Jackson as he danced through an urban landscape. A specially created set featured steps and sidewalk tiles that lit up underneath Michael's feet. It is here that fans first saw some of Michael's best-known dance moves, such as spinning and landing on his toes. Many of Michael's steps and mannerisms in the video would become forever associated with The King of Pop.

When the chorus hit.he sprung into this dance that was unlike anything I'd ever seen, director Steve Barron recounted of Jackson's choreography in the video. "It was just extraordinary, instinctive. He pulled it all together and turned it into what we saw.The camera literally steamed up, the eyepiece steamed up, because of my heat from what I was seeing." Barron also recalled the crew breaking into spontaneous applause after Michael finished dancing.

The "Billie Jean" short film made history as the first video by a black artist to be played in heavy rotation on MTV, then in its second year. In 1992, the short film was inducted into the Music Video Producers Hall of Fame. MTV ranked "Billie Jean" as the 35th greatest music video of all time in 1999, one of three entries of Jackson's on the chart alongside "Thriller" and "Beat It."

🎵 L Y R I C S 🎵:
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said, "Don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round?"
She said I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
She told me her name was Billie Jean as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round

People always told me, "Be careful of what you do
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts" (hee-eeh)
And mother always told me, "Be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do (oh, oh)
'Cause the lie becomes the truth" (oh, oh), eh-eh

Billie Jean is not my lover, uh
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one (oh, baby)
But the kid is not my son (ooh!), uh
She says I am the one (oh, baby)
But the kid is not my son
(Hee-hee-hee, hee-hee-hee, ooh!) no, no

For 40 days and for 40 nights, I was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand? Her schemes and plans
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round (hee)
So take my strong advice
Just remember to always think twice
(Don't think twice!) Do think twice! (Ah-hoo)
She told my baby we'd danced 'til 3:00, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo of a baby crying, his eyes were like mine (oh, no)
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby
(Ooh, hee-hee-hee)

People always told me, "Be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts" (don't break no hearts)
But she came and stood right by me
Just the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room, hey

Billie Jean is not my lover (hoo)
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one, uh
But the kid is not my son
No-no-no, no-no-no-no-no-no (hoo)
Billie Jean is not my lover, uh
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one (oh, baby)
But the kid is not my son (no, no)
She says I am the one (oh, baby)
But the kid is not my son
(No, hee-hee)

Hee! Hoo!

She says I am the one, uh
But the kid is not my son
No-no-no, hoo (oh)
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one (you know what you did to me, baby)
But the kid is not my son
No-no-no, no-no-no-no

She says I am the one (no)
But the kid is not my son (no-no-no)
She says I am the one (you know what you did)
She says he is my son (breakin' my heart, babe)
She says I am the one

Yeah, Billie Jean is not my lover, uh
Yeah, Billie Jean is not my lover, uh
Yeah, Billie Jean is not my lover, uh
Yeah, Billie Jean is not my lover, uh (don't call me Billie Jean, hoo)
Billie Jean is not my lover, uh (she's not at the scene)
Yeah, Billie Jean is not...

🎵 L Y R I C S 🎵:
You always knew how to creep into my head
Always finding ways to sleep in my bed
You have always kept me hypnotiz-ed
You will never have the key to my heart
Pay attention to the things that I said
I had told you I was sick of crying
When you gave me promises of paradise then
Took them back again before my eyes

Verses 1 & 2:
Here we go, at it again you see this
Position is not for me and
It just wasn’t meant to be the
Decision is mine to leave you so

Pre chorus 1:
I’ve grown so tired of the mind games you play
So warm in the night yet so cold in the day

Pre 2
I’ve seen the light and I’m moving along
It never was right and I’m done with your wrong

Anonymous Communique From Anarchists in Bulbancha


On the eve of Day of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners, under a full moon, we disabled 10 police surveillance cameras here in New Orleans. We’re inspired by the uprising in Los Angeles, by Weelaunee Forest defenders facing repression in Georgia, by all people under occupation fighting to be free. We encourage like-minded folks to find each other in the night and attack–for the wild joy, for the burning rage, for Mother Earth. Fuck city council and their facial recognition bullshit. Fuck the police. Fuck a “peaceful” protest. There is no peace! Free Palestine! Free Turtle Island! Free Planet Earth!

Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Crying At The Discotheque (Official Video)

The song Crying At The Discotheque would usually want a video recorded in - you guessed it - a disco or club, but I have been thinking so much recently about all my musician and crew friends who can't work at the moment, I thought a video where I film in as many empty London venues as possible would highlight all that's on hold at the moment.

I worked again with my favourite team for my videos, Sophie Muller, Robbie Ryan and Lisa Laudat, and we did all 7 venues in one day. It was strangely moving performing in those places to no crowd when I'd sang in them previously so full of life. I hope it brings home the gap in our culture at the moment.

Lyrics:
Downtown's been caught by the hysteria
The people scream and shout
A generation's on the move
When disco spreads like a bacteria
The lonely days are out
Behold the passion of the groove

The golden years, the silver tears
You wore a tie like Richard Gere
I wanna get down, you spin me around
I stand on the borderline

Crying at the discotheque
Crying at the discotheque

I saw you crying
I saw you crying at the discotheque
I saw you crying
I saw you crying at the discotheque

Tonight's the night at the danceteria
The joining of the tribe
The speakers pumping clear and loud
And the way you move is our criteria
Let the DJ takes you high
And tears of joy baptize the crowd

The golden years, the silver tears
You wore a tie like Richard Gere
I wanna get down, you spin me around
I stand on the borderline

Crying at the discotheque
Crying at the discotheque

I saw you crying
I saw you crying at the discotheque
I saw you crying
I saw you crying at the discotheque

The golden years, the silver tears
You wore a tie like Richard Gere
I wanna get down, you spin me around
I stand on the borderline

Crying at the discotheque
Crying at the discotheque
Crying at the discotheque
The discotheque, the discotheque
Crying at the discotheque
Crying at the discotheque

How to "Reformat" a Hardrive the American way

So for Friday night, myself and my friends got rather board.
And as the resident "Things collector" i got 2 Maxtor touch sense 2 external hardrives. However those who were alive in 2000's know Maxtor went bankrupt and haven't made hardrives for a very long time.
One of these drive i got BRAND NEW, in box at a flea market. sadly time got to the platters first, i spent a few hours trying to reformat or partition them and all i got was write errors. I tried different utility's with no avail and decided to cut my losses, so i asked the boys what we should do with them? Immediately my friend had an idea, to bring out his 9mm and see how a hardrive would fair! We all took turns and they were pretty hard to hit (we made the mistake of drink soda before hand). We eventually landed some shots on the center of the drives and MAN it actually stopped 2 bullets!!!


going into this we all expected the disk to be unreadable after the fact, but didnt think the hardrives would stop a 9mm bullet!!

We then took the hdd's apart after are volley of bullets, and alot of the chips were damaged and all the platters were bent. But when we took off the top case, it looked so freakin cool i had to keep it

Converting an E-Paper Photo Frame into Weather Map

Photo of Inky Frame e-paper display

Here’s a great hack sent in to us from [Simon]. He uses an e-paper photo frame as a weather map!

By now you are probably aware of e-paper technology, which is very low power tech for displaying images. E-paper only uses energy when it changes its display, it doesn’t draw power to maintain a picture it has already rendered. The particular e-paper used in this example is fairly large (as e-paper goes) and supports color (not just black and white) which is why it’s expensive. For about US$100 you can get a 5.7″ 7-color EPD display with 600 x 448 pixels.

Beyond the Inky Frame 5.7″ hardware this particular hack is mostly a software job. The first program, written in python, collects weather data from the UK Met Office. Once that image data is available a BASH script is run to process the image files with imagemagick. Finally a Micro Python script runs on the Pico to download the correct file based on the setting of the real-time clock, and update the e-paper display with the weather map.

Thanks to [Simon] for sending this one in via the tipsline. If you have your own tips, please do let us know! If you’re interested in e-paper tech we have certainly covered that here in the past, check out E-Paper Anniversary Counter Is A Charming Gift With Minimal Power Draw and A Neat E-Paper Digit Clock (or Four).

The video below the break is a notice from the UK Met Office regarding their data services.
