Police Scotland breaching human rights to subdue Palestine protests

Moira McFarlane, an Edinburgh-based activist, said her home had been visited after midnight by three plain-clothes officers – despite the fact that she has never been arrested or charged with anything

Despite policing being nominally in the hands of Holyrood, Cooper calls the shots. The Chief Constable, Jo Farrell in an English appointee.

The wisdom of Tyler Durden

1. No fear! No distractions! Embrace the ability to let that which does not matter truly slide.
2. Never be complete: stop being perfect, evolve and let the chips fall where they may.
3. It is only after we’ve lost everything that we’re free to do anything.
4. You are not your job. You’re not how much money you have in the bank. You’re not the car you drive. You’re not the contents of your wallet. You’re not your fucking khakis.
5. People see themselves as they’d like to be, have the courage to just run with it.
6. Don't talk about it, be about it: sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken.
7. This is your life, and it’s ending one minute at a time: you have to know, not fear, know that someday you are going to die. Until you know that, you have no sense of urgency. You think you have all the time in the world to do amazing things, but you may not live to see that particular someday.

So...Hellraiser III Hell on Earth. I have seen the original. I have seen the recent(ish) remake but nothing else... Will I miss out by not seeing no. 2?

It's been two hours and six votes... One film languishes behind, one film is in the lead and two are fighting it out for second and third places...

There are differing opinions on Hellraiser III in comments... None saying it's a masterpiece, to be fair...

But this can all change over the next 4 hours

Vote (see top of thread), repost, tell all your friends about the fool who may be forced to watch Hellraiser III

Well done Fedi... You have chosen and chosen well.

Moonlight is this week's #RandomFilmSunday choice with 47% of the 17 voters

I'll be starting at eight and have ice cream and tissues ready.

Hellraiser III was second place and except for X2 gathering an early vote, the other two didn't get much of a look in at all. Zombie For Sale is a genuinely decent watch though 😎

In the meantime..? Some Janelle Monae?

in reply to penwing (they/them)

Kind of. 1 & 2 are Actual Clive Barker Content, I love them enormously. 3 is a twisted joke, dumb action flick pretending to be Hellraiser; I don't hate it but it's *dumb*. 4 Bloodlines is excellent but heavy on making up new lore. At least it still has Doug Bradley.

I saw 5 & 6 but barely remember them? Have not seen later.

The remake started as a Barker script/production/something but went thru 5 or 10 studio swaps since then.

IIRC number 2 is where we learn the history of Pinhead (and some of the others) and get to explore the realm they come from (the Labyrinth.)

The third film was... A bad idea. I think some people loved it but it felt cheesy and pointless to me (plus CD was too funny for the theme: a guy with CDs in his face, who throws CDs as weapons?!)

I guess I'm saying watch 2. 3 is barely worth it (and I think in some places not even canonical, but it's been a while and I don't remember where)

Just passed by Bremen which reminds me that nobody ever mentions the shade the story about the town musicians of Bremen throws on the city: why do the 4 animals want to go to Bremen in the first place? Because the musicians and/or the music taste in Bremen are so bad they would even listen to music made by farm animals.
ANYONE can become a musician in Bremen.

Article written by the originator of Quantized Inertia theory. His theory blows out Relativity, Newton's 1st and 2nd laws, and a bunch of other eStAbLiShEd PhYsiCs.

The reason to think it's true is because it resolves a bunch of paradoxes with the behavior of celestial bodies, which classical physics either sweeps under a rug, or else creates a bunch of "It's That Way Because It Is" post-hoc explanations.

If Quantized Inertia is real, it means we finally have a theoretical foundation to build quantum thrusters (flying saucer tech) and Free Energy devices.

It's hard to overstate how important a theoretical foundation is, compared to a guy who did something in his barn and saw a result. The guy in his barn doesn't understand what he did, and the next day when it suddenly stops working, he has no idea why. But the theoretical foundation means something can be made reliable and repeatable.

So basically, this is the Einstein we need, so we should definitely meme this into reality.

What is a "It's That Way Because It Is" post-hoc explanation ?

Physicists can't explain the rotation of the galaxies. Based on the accepted model, they should fly apart. So they invent an imaginary form of matter which they call "Dark Matter" and they say "well, the galaxy has this stuff and that adds just enough gravity to keep it all held together".

But then when they look at another galaxy, their model doesn't explain that either, so they have to CHANGE the amount of Dark Matter in that galaxy, so that then it works again.

They are unable to *predict* anything, they only look at the results and then imagine the right amount of Dark Matter to make the results add up.

That's why this really isn't a theory in any honest sense of the word, but more a post-hoc rationalization and effective confession that the classical theory just doesn't work.

Quantized Inertia resolves this paradox.

in reply to Caleb James DeLisle

What's interesting about Quantized Inertia is that there are a NUMBER of different ways that you can deduce your way to Free Energy.

For one, the formula used by Dr. McCulloch to describe the thruster is (per my understanding of the paper) force = current * area / distance ** 2.

It should be self-evident that if this formula holds, building a Free Energy Device is trivial, because Power or Voltage is not a factor. So you can reduce the gap distance or increase the area and with the same current, you get more force with the same current. And since this is leakage over a capacitor, neither of those changes imply increase in voltage. In fact, a reduction in gap distance REDUCES necessary voltage!

But lets suppose for a moment that this formula doesn't hold. It has been experimentally confirmed[1] that you can make very small amounts of thrust - just barely measurable, with modest energy. We might imagine for a moment that the formula works at this scale, but it breaks down when you try to push it to a greater extreme.

EVEN SO, there is still a pathway to Free Energy using only the exact setup which has been experimentally confirmed. The experiment in [1] showed 0.0015 newtons of force using 0.0000025 amps at 5000v (0.0125 watts). But speed that the thruster moves is not part of the equation, and unless the thruster is actually throwing physical material out the back, it can't be.

But if a thruster can generate the same thrust-per-watt no matter the speed, that thruster is automatically a Free Energy machine. This is because a thruster driven around in a circle makes torque based on its thrust, and RPM based on the speed it is moving. Torque * RPM = power.

Suppose we took the 0.0015 newton thruster and put it out on the end of a 1 meter long crankshaft. We use 0.0125 watts of power to make 0.0015 newtons of thrust. On the end of a 1 meter crankshaft, that is 0.0015 newton-meters of torque. If we can spin that crankshaft up to 2000 RPMs, 0.0015 newton-meters of torque translates to 0.315 watts, so we have just made energy.

The reason why this is extremely relevant is because reactionless thrusters, while controversial, are begrudgingly accepted as "weird scientific phenomena". Free Energy on the other hand is well regarded as the land of nutters and scam artists. So demonstrating an equivalence between the two is a lovely and hilarious FuckYou to the entire Physics community.

in reply to Wolf480pl

They kind of are, but they're also catching them, and it's the catching which creates the thrust (thrust is in the direction of the anode, not the cathode).

And even so, throwing of electrons is (per my understanding) ~speed of light and all you need to prove over-unity is to imagine a thruster on the end of a meter long pole generating it's few micron-newtons-meters of torque while rotating some thousands of RPMs. Far below anything that would even knock on the door of speed-of-light...

in reply to Wolf480pl

Yeah, which is why physicists don't really like reactionless thrusters. They Create Problems.

QI has an explanation for why this works involving Unruh radiation waves. I don't understand all of the theory, but McCulloch's simplifies thrust in a leaking capacitor down to: Thrust = Current * Area / GapDistance ** 2. But this formula creates yet another vector for Free Energy because it outputs Thrust without Power as an input.

So the whole area of reactionless thrusters is an Achilles Heel for classical physics...

How is it that SOME Folks actually believe our earth is a Globe that spins 1000+ per hour at the Equator, yet they see no curve on the horizon, They only see flat water on the sea shore and they never feel the earth moving in any direction.

They believe because they have been told what to believe and they are not AWAKE enough to simply look for themself to find Salvation from the lies of the Government/Controllers of your Programmed Mind!

Supreme Court rules 6-3 to not hear evidence in case involving critical First Amendment rights of all Americans
Make no mistake, this was a cowardly cop out by the highest court in the nation, showing it is intimidated by the American deep state.The U.S. Supreme Court (gov oligarchy) ruled 6-3 Wednesday in Murthy v. Missouri that challengers alleging Biden administration officials “coerced” social media companies to remove content the government viewed as unfavorable did not have the legal right to sue and did not rule on the merits.

The High Court determined neither the Louisiana and Missouri attorneys general nor the five private individuals who brought the lawsuit had standing to seek an injunction against any of the government defendants.
The message the High Court delivered today. The way I see it, we the people don’t count for anything, and this was one branch of government (judicial) agreeing with another branch of the government (executive) saying it’s OK for the government to collude with Big Tech elites in a way that shuts down free speech in America. Another nail in the coffin.

The ongoing #fascism in #Germany, in the pretext of #democracy.
mastodon.giftedmc.com/@haui/11…


Falls ihr euch fragt wie es auf dem weg zum #faschismus in #deutschland so läuft:

Vor rund einer Woche wurde Marxismus quasi (wieder) verboten.

Das Bvg entschied dass die marxistische Lehre nicht mit der demokratischen Grundordnung vereinbar sei.

Ihr wisst schon, die Idee dass Menschen grundlegend alle gleich sind und die Früchte ihrer Arbeit verdient haben.

Das war schon mal so. Als #hitler an die Macht kam.

Ich wollts nur mal sagen. Da "wählt" sich so schnell auch keiner mehr raus.

@MMRnmd I was terrified reading this last year, but the picture comes more clear as the time goes.
"For the editor-in-chief of the junge Welt, Stefan Huth, the situation is clear: the German state has criminalised, as extremist, any reference to communism. 'junge Welt, which is independent of political parties, companies, churches, etc., is not considered a newspaper [by the German authorities]. Rather, the newspaper, the publishing house (8 Mai GmbH) as publisher, and of course the workers' cooperative, which is its main shareholder, are treated as 'extremist groups' pursuing subversive aims. This absurd fabrication of the German secret services is justified [for them] by the Marxist orientation of the newspaper. They complain that our newspaper refers to Marx, Engels, Lenin, Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht, as well as writing favourably about socialist Cuba. We are also accused of describing as "liberation movements" organizations in Latin America or the Middle East that are considered "terrorist" by the government. Even references to what many academic experts acknowledge, namely that society is divided into classes, violates the constitution, according to the German government and its secret services."

Hard to believe that a government that has a blind solidarity with the 1st terrorist state on earth , Israel, can so easily bear jugement on the editorial choice of a newspaper and declare Marxism and Communism illegal.

You can turn it upside-down and inside-out, society IS divided into classes.
Rejecting this fact just makes you travel 2 centuries ago...por lo meno.

I remember that the first concentration camps were built in 1933, after Communist party of Deutschland was prohibited, like unions.
The first people put into these camps weren't Jews or Slaves, they were Marxists, union leaders and Communists.
