The ballooning use of fiber optic cable drones in the Russia Ukraine war is eating into global Germanium supply, plus now the cables are getting longer, and other countries are building reserves of such drones. #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #RussiaUkraineWar

Gold prices nearing $4,000 per ounce, after already surging past $3,000/oz earlier this year. Primary drive being economic uncertainty & investor panic due to US tariffs, government shutdown, & global events. #goldprices #commodities

"Bluesky is boring."

Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually.

When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

It's a common reaction following assassinations, looking back through history.
Even though Abe Lincoln, for example, said himself he would let slavery continue to avoid the CW, that stance was kind of "forgotten" post-assassination.
People transposed Grant's anti-slavery stance onto Abe post-mortem

It varies. Digital Circus, based on comments across reddit and YT vids seems to have average fan age (specifically commenters) of 12 - 14. Murder Drones was similar, just "slightly" better, where it felt more 15 - 18. I've repeatedly been the oldest person in the discord servers, even at just 32

This is really worth reading. It's not just that they buried the study. The government is due to come out with new dietary recommendations. The study was started to inform those guidelines. It said: alcohol raises your risk of several cancers. It got buried.

US military buildup around and offshore of Venezuela under the pretense of "combating drugs". More likely tied to regime change aims or at least forcing Maduro into a more amicable position to enable full development of the Orinoco belt oil reserves #oilandgas #energy #Venezuela
