It’s evidence of me swiping too fast and not reading the text three times before sending.

The torrent of lies and absurd statements should keep the rest of the world entertained. For most Americans, it’s probably going to be horrifying, tragic and/or embarrassing.

Edit: corrected the mess left behind by autocorrect

Seems like he is gradually sliding towards being a medieval king or a dictator. In England, that sort of thing was limited in 1215 and the rest of Europe followed in the next centuries. However, Mussolini showed that even in a democratic state it’s always possible to make history repeat itself.

Lucky you, this video is also available on Nebula.

They are essentially saying that they would be happy in a place that does not exist. Doesn’t exclude the possibility that happiness could still be found in a place that does.

Legal Eagle has a video that explains what kinds of things Trump can do without legal consequences.

Seems to me, that if he wants to replicate the events of Tianamen Square on American soil, he can totally do that, and it’s entirely within his legal rights to do so.

Also, check the comments of that video. Chilling stuff.

Oh yeah. This is the sort of stuff that will be in the news all the time from now on. It’s pretty crazy already, but just remember what it was like during the pandemic. We were so deep in crazy town that nothing was considered surprising any more.

Turns out, if you kick out all the polish nurses and restaurant workers, you suddenly don’t have enough staff in those places. Who would have thought.

Other than that, everything worked out perfectly. Oh, but then there’s also the Northern Ireland border. Well other than those two issues… actually, there are quite a few issues, but that’s besides the point. It’s been smooth sailing ever since, everyone is happy, it’s never been better.

If NATO fades into oblivion, that would be a great opportunity for European countries to make a news defense organization where a single country like Hungary or Turkey can’t play their political games.

The rise of the NSDAP has been studied quite a bit. Also, the psychological aspects are really interesting. Basically normal people can make all of this possible as long as the conditions are just right.

Even the name matches. Best of all, this Luce is an interrogator working for the inquisition. This is just next level irony. 🤣

Well, there’s the wikipedia article about the discovery of nuclear fission. I mean, you could read that, or trust this one guy at work who says that “wikipedia is all lies”. Yes, that’s word-for-word what he told me when we were discussing GMOs, so I guess the same applies to nuclear fission too.

While I was in the shower, I thought of a brilliant idea! Let’s trigger several smaller volcanic eruptions that release a semi-controlled amount of volcanic ash into other atmosphere. That will cool down the atmosphere, which should buy us some time to fix our carbon emissions.

Then I realized, that doing so would block visible light. Plants need the light to grow, and we need the plants to breathe and eat. Obviously, this is not going to be a long term solution. Oh, and how do you even make sure the volcanic eruption doesn’t spiral out of control and suddenly spew out 50 times the ash we were aiming for. Oh, and volcanoes also spew CO2 and even nastier gases, so… It sounded so good while I was still in the shower. The more I think about it, the worse it gets.
