I can't believe after seeing what happened in Iraq / Afghanistan and now how war is changing in Ukraine that any serious person thinks any sort of organized violence would end well for anyone. It is insane to think that the American people would just accept a fascist Christian regime.

TO ALL FEDERAL WORKERS: if you were illegally fired today and have information of wrongdoing or abuse of power by the Trump Administration, our whistleblower tip line is open.

We want to hear from you. All whistleblowers are federally protected.

Report Potential Wrongdoing Under the Trump Administration

Whistleblowers play a vital role in helping Congress conduct our constitutionally mandated oversight responsibilities. If you have knowledge of corporate or government corruption and abuses of power; insights into the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and his associates; or information regarding potential wrongdoing or waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer dollars, your disclosure can make a difference.

When this craziness is over can we please get rid of In God We Trust off our currency? Can we modernize the state so it doesn't have religious biases?

Black people have been giving everybody the answer for a long time. As well as showing you what was gonna happen when it starts to go badly for you like it always has been for us. But y'all wanted to talk about the tan suit instead. *shrugs*

I watched what the war on drugs did, and how racist violence systemically festered in America. Then 911 happened and the Patriot Act pushed us even further along. This shit has never left us. The ghosts of reconstruction linger. You can still see the closed pools in many communities. Its all around.

If the only thing that's fully funded by the government is the police. Then you live in a police state. That's just how numbers work. It's fair to judge a society by how it chooses to allocate resources.

I had a lot of convos with people who said they were sympathetic, but Defund the Police was a "bad slogan". I told them it wasn't a slogan. It was an answer. It was an answer to the constant question "what can we do to actually lower crime and make our neighborhood's safer?"

Anyway. Here we are.

ICE is going to get way worse when they stop getting paid. I wouldn't be surprised to see them robbing a bank at some point. I'm sure someone is watching this and thinking about all the ways the situation could be exploited. They are making things really dangerous.

QSUT stands for Quantum Sphere Universal Tool and every part of that description applies because the skin of the bubble can be only a few atoms thick, and so quantum behavior starts being important. Each one can act as a mobile lens, or transport materials propelled by lasers.

can be far larger like kilometers across. You wouldn't use a single bubble that large by itself but instead a wide range of scales and functions for the bubbles, because you can treat the bubbles like silicon wafers in integrated circuits. You can also add layers to the bubbles.

A few years ago MIT did a proposal to create a silicon bubble shield to buy us time to act on the climate crisis. This is a follow-up study looking at using nanobubbles that are 500 nm wide to use in the shield. What isn't covered or discussed is that these bubbles

A thin film of silicon-based nanobubbles was recently suggested that could block a fraction of the sun’s radiation to alleviate the present climate crisis. But

Well, the thing is I'm trying to do a non-profit asteroid mining organization whose goal would be to finance a global form of UBI. I think this could be done by processing the objects in the orbit of Mars, and that could be done with my QSUT invention which I'm giving away the basic design.

Tests of loyalty, or keeping your own loyalty above question becomes life and death in such a regime. Haunting stories of parents executing their children to prove their loyalty even if the kids were in fact loyal the whole time. In such a system no one is free and no one is safe.

I made the images using an AI image generator. This is an expansion of an earlier prompt that seems unusual.

Redraw every odd shape

Think about what a redraw looks like visually and then think about the different visual and numerical definitions of odd as well as shape that's where it comes from.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.
