Here’s a source that says 5-6mil at the protests and links to the spreadsheet people are using to try and tally it https://www.gelliottmorris.com/p/no-kings-day-protests-turn-out-millions

Where the hell did that 11M number come from?

Cheers y’all, hope the next year is even better

I feel like that sometimes too :(

I think a lot of awfulness is just the result of a poor internal model of the world. Intentionally spreading a poor model of the world is an effective propaganda strategy and often done. However it is difficult to tell apart people who have been lied to and people who have been unintentionally misled.

I think a great many people, myself included, have been misled about a great many things. Mostly not even out of maliciousness, but because reality is not as obvious as it could be. Our perspectives are often so limited. My takeaway from all this is to try and broaden my perspective, and when possible, give people the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they just need some new information, or the removal of a malign influence.

“In other news, propaganda works” 🫩

It’s erythritol

Erythritol may impair cellular functions essential to maintaining brain blood vessel health, according to researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder. Findings suggest that erythritol increases oxidative stress, disrupts nitric oxide signaling, raises vasoconstrictive peptide production, and diminishes clot-dissolving capacity in human brain microvascular endothelial cells.

I really like this idea, I can’t believe you just threw this together, awesome work and thank you for sharing, I hope it gets some traction

thank goodness, I almost forgot what good news looked like

I can only dream of moments like these

😋

Tbf you also buried the lede here and I am mildly annoyed by it

We had potentially the fifth largest protest in American history on April 5th, if you’re not seeing it it’s because you’re not there (and the @#$&ing media is complicit)

He paid for the whole year yknow

Also curious, have a similar project in mind. I’ve tinkered with jekyll a little and heard good things about Hugo. Hopefully people can speak to some of these.

Just started my first batch of basic honey mead yesterday! Your recipe caught my eye because I’ve got a bag of dried dates sitting in my cabinet and I was wondering what recipes to try for my next batch. Did you do anything to prep the dates or just add a handful of them to the must?

he’s a Peter Thiel creation, it doesn’t take a lot of research to see this. He’s basically been on Peter Thiel’s paycheck for like a decade iirc? He’s made millions working directly and indirectly for him. It’s not even particularly subtle. Thiel made substantive donation to non-profits that existed soley to help get Vance elected etc…

took me like 2 google searches to get to reasonable sources for all that, without Thiel you wouldn’t know who Vance was

It’s not even Trump really, it’s the whole movement that has been building around him and will live on after him. No one knows what the future holds but I’m willing to bet whatever comes after Trump will be worse.

This made me lol today, thank you
