Gridlock Is Good
This is my take as well, as laws passed by either party are usually not good with many gotchas. So the less they do the better. Personally, electronic voting can so easily be manipulated, who knows how people actually voted,…

Your Linux Distro Isn’t Special
This is a pretty good video giving a real overview of Linux distributions. My only quibble is recommending Bazzite for an immutable distro that relies on Flatpaks. I hate Flatpaks and Snaps with a passion, Flatpaks being promoted by IBM/Red…
F*CK SIGNAL!!!!!!!!!!1 (The Hated One)
This is kind of funny, in that The Hated One misses the biggest problem with Signal, which explains his problems with it, metadata collection. They’re identifying you by phone number or payment, as it was always about tracking connections between…

SpaceX Is Reportedly Looking at Buying Boost Mobile or Using Its Cell Network
The sad state of reporting in the world. I was a Boost Mobile customer for years with a cheap $15/mo phone plan as they were primarily a MVNO, Mobile Virtual Network Operator, or reseller. But just before I left they…
ChatGPT Is Giving Voters Ludicrous Misinformation Right as the Midterms Hit

Joe Rogan Exposing Himself in Calling for Censorship
I’ve thought for a long time Joe Rogan was a spook asset, possibly a spook. They send a lot of their recruits into entertainment and news, but how else do you explain his podcast deal worth $250 million. He’s received…
The End of the Earth
Before this earth and universe are destroyed, God will directly rule the earth from Jerusalem as Jesus Christ. What’s stunning about this period of 1,000 years, is with God here ruling from Jerusalem with His goodness, teachings and supernatural power…

Flock Contracts Systematically Violate the Law to Avoid Oversight: This Must Be Prosecuted
Rossman seems to be getting people to forward malfeasance documentation to him, so I had to resubscribe. I had dropped him because he was too profane, but he’s putting out some good content. And this shows Flock is a bad…
