The dead have a right to remain dead. An animated skin put over a computer model and given the same name as the dead son of grieving parents is a cursed golem and a full delusion. By interviewing the computer model, Acosta has asked us to accept this as true or real. Gun control deserves better.

Trump/Epstein Cover-up should be trending not Sydney Sweeney.

OK I'm convinced.

2. The Phantom Quiet, creative escape artists slipping in and out of presence. Pre-COVID Presentation: Often "checked out" or absent in social situations to avoid sensory overload. Escapes into books, games, or intellectual realms as self-protection. May be perceived as aloof or disengaged but is actually self-regulating. The friend who's "there" but mentally distant, using distraction to survive. Leaving social events early or recreating to quiet rooms to recharge. During Lockdown Behavior: With less social pressure, Phantoms retreated deeper into safe digital spaces. Vanished from group video calls, opting for asynchronous or text-based communication. Reduced sensory inputs by limiting virtual exposure or withdrawing socially. Ghosting group chats while still maintaining some one-on-one connections for safety. Spending hours reading or writing in private, avoiding social media or news cycles that felt overwhelming. Post-Lockdown Stealth Meta-Adaptation: Digital invisibility refined into surgical, strategic disappearances and selective presence. Use of social media algorithms and platform tools to curate when and how they appear. Mask overwhelm by ghosting selectively, maintaining enough presence to avoid detection. Logging in only to respond to direct messages or posting anonymously to stay connected yet unseen. • Attending only select social gatherings and then recreating early with plausible reasons, often avoiding calls or texts afterward to maintain boundaries.

Hurricane Season Heating Up Dexter forms and moving away from the U.S. but more to follow as the Atlantic comes alive

A whole lot to cover in today's newsletter as the Atlantic hurricane season springs to life. Dexter's moving away from the U.S. thankfully, but there's no shortage of systems to follow behind it. All latest details ⬇️

Man, Dexter keeps missing. They should have stuck with three seasons.

paul-NewEngland @paul-newengland.bsky.social Renewables only work 5 days out of 10. Capacity Factor (CF) less than 50%. If you don't know what Capacity Factor is, you should never utter another word about renewables. If you want power 24x7x365, wind and solat won't do it for you.

Hilariously, this is a classic misunderstanding of capacity factor. Perhaps he should take his own advice.

The Boy Genius Who Killed 14 Million Poor People What is the moral weight of responsibility for the men who carried out DOGE’s work?

i think i disagree with the idea that the ferritor should have been allowed to follow his own path during his schooling, neglecting assignments and being coddled for his apparent genius. i think, in fact, that this was the problem. www.thebulwark.com/p/the-boy-ge...

Screenshot of an official Prime Minister post deliberately stoking fear and hate against migrants with a shadowy figure, reminiscent of old far right campaigns, and saying: @10DowningStreet We're taking action to stop migrants working illegally as food delivery drivers. DELIVERED BY WHO? Our new agreement means the government will share asylum accommodation locations with Deliveroo, Just Eat, and Uber Eats. So they'll know if riders are staying there and can take action. PLAN FOR CHANGE ALT Home Office

Oh yeah, because this won't in any way shape or form lead to people attacking delivery persons, Uber drivers etc. FFS, the image alone is meant to instil fear. That is guaranteed to lead to attacks.
