Well, it’s a quick take, and no doubt data will come in, but it sure looks like based on today’s evidence that a lot of pro-Trump and pro-AfD bot work depends directly on Russian data centers.

My father really admires him while being aligned with Bernie and the DSA policy wise. He's also from the midwest and the temperament thing goes a long way with some of these people.

I used to teach the Sir2 yeast aging story to my 3rd year class, where I covered some of Sinclair's work on this topic sceptically and referred to his findings as a 'bamboozle'. (The kids loved this). Totally unsurprising to see the grifting path he took.

It sounds like a wild conspiracy theory, but here is a notable example of how fighting for democracy anywhere is fighting for democracy everywhere: Ukraine hits Russian data centers...and election related misinformation, Trump trolls, and bots drop off social media in the US.

The United States and Canada have been friends, partners, and allies for more than 150 years across 32 presidential administrations. And now, solely because of the arrogance, incompetence, and ego of the current occupant of the White House, that relationship is being driven straight toward a cliff.
