  • I think this is part of some effort to destroy the last of the public’s confidence in these institutions after their COVID handling fiasco. The health risks and elevated risks of dying is true, but in a couple studies were similar to cycling or walking on city streets, and nowhere near the risk from sedentary lifestyles and social isolation.

    All he people I’ve known over the years with alcohol problems weren’t fretting over 5 ‘standard drinks’, they were drinking well over 15 drinks every single day. Also, they didn’t think they had a problem. Except with sleeping, a couple ounces for a nightcap, or shakes in the morning, a quick swig or so for that.

    Someone has a drinking problem when they can’t stop. Doesn’t matter how much someone drinks in one sitting or even during some horrible week at work.









  • The article is clear, the market is reacting to Argentinians voting against Milei in mid-term elections, which also wasn’t in line with expectations. His policies are very popular with the market.

    Argentina is a financial basket case from years of corruption and government overspending and printing money. I’m not surprised that the enthusiasm for his drastic fiscal restraint has waned quickly. There is no easy way out of these messes.


  • Tiktok has been under US gov’t control for a while and most of the reaction I’ve seen is on RedNote. Some people have figured out their Tiktok shares, saves and favourites are blackholed when viewed from a US account, but visible from a Canadian or Australian account. This is exactly how the CCP does it.

    Im an occasional user, noticed that the Tiktok feed has even more fake AI posts.

    With the announcement, deleted my account. What you save, share and like will be used against you by the US gov’t.




  • Trump and Doge cuts have done such great harm to US government institutions, eliminating competent leadership for dipshit sycophants, that it is clear they are no longer capable of monitoring domestic terrorism. In 6 months of this insanity, America is already defenseless against a Groyper army that was probably dreamed up on 4chan.

    FBI Patel looks like a scared kitten on meth. They had no idea this is coming and clearly clueless about any of the memes. They guessed Trans Antifa activist something rather down arrow down arrow.

    It was actually mocking Kirk for being a sellout to proper right wing ideas. Full civil war between the extreme right and the pedophile supporters. Unsurprising, except how quickly this has spun out of control.
