What’s up today? (Part 2)

That wasn’t the link I checked before, it was about some mRNA platform being funded by DARPA.

I am starting to read your article right now, this is new to me. If true, it is seriously fcked up. However, as always I am always cautious about these types of sensationalistic news, and I hope the sources check out.

Btw:

So Trump calling it the “china virus”, the anti-vaxxer movement, while attacking Fauci at the same time was being pushed… by the white house as a psyOP against China? Lol
Rofl What a sh*t show. I am surprised, but thinking a bit deeper, I shouldn’t be surprised at all. What a freaking mess.

Nope. Being anti-war I am very much against the military industrial complex that Eisenhower warned about.

I’ve also pointed out that big oil has a major interest in Ukraine with many politically connected oligarchs e.g. Alex Soros driving the efforts in Washington in support of Zelensky’s war and the crippling of the Ukrainian economy in order to drive the sell off Ukraine’s assets to big oil:

Both George Soros and his son have consistently advocated for the continuation of the war. Alex Soros stated last summer that he believed Western countries should provide more support to Ukraine and take on a greater role in the conflict.

So I honestly don’t know what you are on about … your insults directed at me seem personal and not well thought out.

I enjoyed the BBC tv series as a kid. Watched it a few times, which led me to read all of the books … then got into the dirk gently series. Great fun.

Fascinating doc “The Stormtrooper Scandal” about art curator Ben Moore who took his successful show “Art Wars” and used it to jump into the NFT #*#@_+.

Lots of interesting stuff here.

I think AI is really cool and is definitely increasing profitability for companies … but … are revenues by AI companies EVER going to justify the cap-ex? It seems an absurdity right now with billions being invested but with 2 orders of mag. less in revenue.

I get that revenues will certainly increase over the next many years, but cap-ex will also need to continue apace to remain competitive … the math really obviously doesn’t seem to work. And I’m not talking 1+1=3 … we’re talking 1+1000=3 … it seems to be some sort of market insanity.

This happens a lot unfortunately. Digital amnesia. Nothing less than ~20 years old can have value.

Really bad news and a dark day for Internet freedom. The US government is now effectively allowed to pressure social media companies.

Bye bye first amendment.

I can only hope that Elon has the courage or even the ability to stand up to whatever they are going to start throwing at him - aside from minor platforms that few populate, X is the only place where speech is still free, the others folded to the tyranny long ago.

I will remind american’s that the founders created the 2nd amendment in case the government overrode the 1st. Well here we are. Be prepared.

It’s not the end of the case however, it’s just the removal of the injunction. So despite my negativity, hang onto your shorts.

Follow this fine person on X to keep up with the case:

Some great news for crypto from SCOTUS today!

This could (likely IMO) mean that SEC over-reach is null and void.

That is a topic that will cause divorce.

The final paragraph stating difference doesn’t mean one is better than the other will be completely lost on many.

I briefly considered sending it to my wife, then I decided to have a nice day instead.
