@ai6yr @spocko @USelaine Here's the most well-known case of a cesium radiotherapy source being abandoned then recovered by people who didnt know what it was. Not pretty. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goi%C3%A2nia_accident

I guess radioactive pumpkin spice is less important than a government cracking down on political dissent and free speech, and disappearing people.

Two things NOT being covered very well in mainstream news: 1. COVID-19 surge (at least locally in my area among my social contacts... very significant) 2. Cesium-137 contamination event with origins in Indonesia, with unclear how large the contamination is. (scrap metal/shipping […]

I think we should treat people who get scammed and come out and talk about it like heroes. And this is important: no matter how "obvious" the scam might seem in retrospect or from the outside of the community it prey'd on. The more I look at scams the more I think this is major factor in how […]

Peter Thiel seems really confused about the Antichrist. In the Bible, the Antichrist is a charming and disarming deceiver who promises world peace and prosperity for all who agree to worship it and bear its mark on their bodies, which is required if you want to buy or sell anything. I'm not […]

Anybody in Saskatoon here? I'm trying to get the word out to farmers who might find Starlink debris in their fields by reaching out to TV news journalists. Is it really just CBC, CTV, and Global? Is there somewhere else I should reach out to?

I’m watching Kimmel’s monologue. It is important. Yes, it is commercial television, mainstream, and in some ways tepid. Yet at the same time it is important. Kimmel is speaking, from the center, about civil rights and liberty in a constitutional democracy. We all face the threat of Republican […]

This Trump–Epstein statue popped up in DC today. 🤯😅

Peter Thiel is competing with Elon Musk for most evil tech lord, with a different strategy. Musk is doing a lot of his foul work in plain sight. It seems that Thiel is trying to keep the public from understanding what he's doing until it's too late to stop him […]

This is a GREAT video about why farmers voted for Trump. It REALLY opened my eyes. It points out, with evidence, that the farmers of today KNEW what Trump was going to do (Trade war) & voted for him anyway. They expect free money. Also, they wanted cuts in environmental regulations, & got them […]

@JDGeoShack We, the people who follow politics closely can easily forget that most people just ignore it. It's cantankerous, confusing and often ugly. And talking about it can make people angry at you. I think that some of this stuff is causing "how bad it is" to break that containment. It's […]

I've seen attempts to make lists and having little "funding groups" go astray too often. Our differences in opinion are so important, and this is about integrating supporting content into the way that you interact with it whenever you are dealing with content that's really teaching you something […]

I've thought about this a lot and I've thought about making lists of good people to support. But, I keep rejecting this idea because the power of this kind of support is that it can be real, real grassroots organic. Support the people you actually spend time listening to. Help them reject […]

Specifically over the next six months I will spend $500 on "better media" I will focus on individuals and give more to those with the least reach. I have $500 because I stopped using amazon and canceled all my streaming services. It's my entertainment budget (not counting books, we will NOT […]

My dear friend, This is either burnout or clinical depression, and if you’re feeling like this, (while unfortunately temporarily common in our industry and current world), it is not normal long term - and it will very likely come with serious long term health consequences. You need to seek help!
