Anyway, yeah, it was ironic. My deleted message specifically discussed the affective death spiral dynamic where ass-kissers in an influencer's space are rewarded and critics are punished, not for being wrong, but for being critical. (I was speaking of YouTube, but it's a general phenomenon oc.)

I wouldn't have predicted that behavior. I've been thinking about suicide, which is fairly unusual for me, but I think I'll get over it.
What I do often think these days is like, man, if the AGIs decide to end humanity ― we sure worked hard to earn it, didn't we?

It was ironic, really. He was like, this is MY essay influencer space where I influence with essays. You post about censorship and the excessive influence of influencers is as long as an essay. Who do you think you are? Because I'M the influencer, so I'm censoring your shit to put you in your place.

Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal said Ukraine received over 50 tons of international aid for its power grid, including generators, transformers, and lighting towers from six European countries. More help from Czechia, Poland, and Austria is on the way. #Ukraine

And wow, he actually said this. I wonder if, among all his persuasion videos, he's like "protip: make up gruesome shit about your enemies."
(his claim doesn't even make sense, as most police are Republicans.)

I've heard six federal prosecutors have resigned in protest, including Joseph H. Thompson, who oversaw the fraud investigations in Minnesota, which DHS claimed is the basis for its ongoing operation in the state.
Well, the more resignations, the more Trump loyalists can be installed in their place.

So why is it notable that Ross or DHS leaked this to right-wing news? Because it indicates right-wingers think that this video clears Ross of wrongdoing. It shows Ross standing in front of the car for the first of three shots fired, and to them, nothing else matters.

her two-point turn to escape from him.
She looked left, then looked where she wanted to go, to the right. She might have died never realizing Ross was there, and then of course ICE prevented the doctor on scene from giving first aid.

Sorry, I'm told that:
"Over half a million people in Gaza are facing catastrophic conditions, with extreme shortages of food and basic necessities. Another 1.07 million people are on the brink of famine."
Well, the brink of famine isn't going to be much better.

For parents of small children, you've probably seen Miss Rachel. Here's a video related to this that I saw just before famine status was declared. I know it's biased, but still worth a watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qwpa...

(If you're confused by this because Sabine doesn't seem anti-science: she's a sort of two-headed person, as suggested by the commentary starting at 58:44. She loves scientific results, but for some reason also makes attack videos that paint scientists in general in a bad light.)
