Would it be possible to crowd fund a probe with a telescope going into deep space, to use the sun as a gravitational lens to image promising nearby planets?

A simple hardened memory device could take people’s poetry, novels, music, images, pet photos, and digital DNA to space for $100 per gigabyte.

Hang in there. Someone has recently gamed the algorithm such that Facebook Reels videos just offered five consecutive videos whining about the woke world canceling the Cracker Barrel logo.

I think Facebook is imploding into a propaganda echo chamber even as I type this β€” even worse than before.

Republicans used to have values. They can’t afford them anymore. Because when Trump begins to openly advocate communism like this, they must mindlessly follow.

It’s amazing how their brains have been novacained.

Facebook steels videos have been algorithmically hijacked. I saw five consecutive right wing rantings about the Cracker Barrel logo just an hour ago. Mind control games are the norm now. Everything is targeted propaganda.

Every time they address it, they’re showing fear. They try desperately to frame it as anything but hilariously humiliating to Trump. They fail every time.

Let’s look closer at the topic of obfuscation:

Biden waived executive privilege while still in office working, and gave hours of interview time.

Trump lied about having top secret, raw intelligence data documents and never went on the record under oath, even though he was unemployed.

Trump continues to brag that he’s taking in $2 billion a day in tariff money. While people will soon see it as a tax he’s charging them on the products they buy, nobody has asked Trump how long it’ll take that $2 billion a day to recoup the $6 trillion the market dropped in 2 days.

(Over 8 years)

'So many children died': Russian attack on Kryvy Rih kills 20

"So many children died." - If one of Ukraine's allies (America) shows weakness to Russia, they’ll just carry on their outrageous and unjust war. The only way to negotiate with Russia is from a position of strength. www.france24.com/en/video/202...

β€œI told those leaders, β€˜The $5 trillion dollar bag of tariff money I’m collecting to give in tax breaks to businesses and rich folks isn’t full yet.’”

Nobody’s asked how full that bag is or where the money is kept.

Nobody’s asked why the countries too poor to buy US products should fill that bag.

I shouldn’t weigh in on UK policies. I grew up in a place dedicated to only one class of citizenship.

I love Vegas, even though I never rate the snooty parking and fast lines for high rollers β€” that’s capitalism. The US government is supposed to have the same level of inefficiency for everyone.

Market crash inevitable.

Anyone got a guess as to what Trump will use to wag the dog and drown out the stock ticker through Monday?

Toll roads can only be seen as the government providing preferential service for people with more money, in a way that ensures the service to people with less money will degrade.

At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

Given that you accept that math, you still have to calculate the combined GDP of the countries you’re enacting tariffs on and the economic power behind the alliances you’ll form by threatening their supply and distribution chains en masse.

That’s the arsenal you unleash once you start a trade war.
