CHRISTMAS SPECIAL 🎄🧑‍🎄⛄❄️🦌🌲 "AND NOW, LIVE FROM FORT HOOD..."

David @scotinus.bsky.social · 6h

Please don't be distracted by this. Yes, it's awful. But it's nothing more than a desperate attempt to distract. Fight it after the election and as fall back, don't watch it. www.npr.org/2026/10/07/n...

Trump approved the military's 1st firing squad execution since WWII. Why now?

The Pentagon says Nidal Hasan will be executed by firing squad in December at Fort Hood, where he killed 13 people in 2009. The announcement came days after a botched lethal injection in Tennessee.

Great point. The contrast is shameful, on them. @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social are more concerned with the DSA than they are Donald Trump. They're more concerned with Mamdani than they are fascism. They need to change with the times, or step the fuck down.

Beyond Senate strong, that is.

It's already not a free or fair election, but not for the reasons Republicans pretend. The wheels are coming off, folks and shit is going to get even more ugly.

Again, the major unknown is what they were doing with the bacteria in that lab. It's extremely naive to assume all is well. Your "unlikely" proclamation is about as valuable as your original post was accurate.

David @scotinus.bsky.social · 17h

It's PNEUMONIC plague and extremely infectious, spread through the air. It's also nearly 100% lethal if not treated within 24 hours. Thus, it is much, much more dangerous than COVID and that is before the possibility that Russia has engineered it to be resistant to antibiotics.

... cost per kg is like $3500. And then you get into supply chain issues, providing the fuel and all other chemicals necessary for even one launch. Smarter people than me have done the math and ain't pretty.

David @scotinus.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

... once you've even got them up there. You get into multiple launches per day, every day forever, on technology that is still unproven. Google calculated last week that 1800 Starship launches would be needed to reach $200/kg cost into Space before even one server would make sense. Currently ...

David @scotinus.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Exactly. It's all being funded by debt. There's insufficient business to make AI profitable with servers on Earth, let alone space. But they really are pushing to make it happen. SpaceX alone are talking of one million satellites. They only last five years so 200,000 per year just to sustain ...

Can one simultaneously be First Lady *and* Epstein sloppy seconds? It certainly seems between plausible and almost fucking certain for sure.

David @scotinus.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

😁 - will do!

David @scotinus.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

This. Is. Fucking. Madness. The "flywheel" is nut-job speak for circular financing. Keep it spinning at all costs!! “We view this as a smart strategic move for the SpaceX buildout because it fuels the flywheel between launch, Starlink, and AI" seekingalpha.com/news/4651007...

SpaceX raising debt for Nvidia chips is 'smart, strategic move,' Yorkville Ives says (SPCX:NASDAQ)

SpaceX may raise $40B in debt to buy Nvidia chips, powering Starlink, launch & AI growth.

This absolutely could happen. Melania too. Republicans and Trump better be very, very careful.

They are simply the best. Crumbles in particular, keeps me grounded.

My teenage son just had to have bones in both ankles, "defused". It was a late discovery explaining his lack of lateral movement. And he watched the you tube videos before hand. Yeah, it's not exactly high tech when you get to that stuff.

David @scotinus.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Poor soul. But as long as he's not in pain or greatly suffering, then whatever I suppose. He does pull it off!

Hah! I'm certain it would be after

Very cool. I do a little production myself but not so much "playing".

Would you mind explaining what you have going on there? Are you using "found" samples from outside or merely enjoying the weather? 🙂🔆

I wouldn't be surprised if they get invited to the White House at some point.

How is it possible for someone of unbounded privilege like this guy, to have such a giant chip on their shoulder? His "freedom of religion" is freedom from the consequences of stomping on someone else's freedom!

That's a picture of thousands of individuals coming together to support and celebrate the same activity. It literally doesn't get any more relational.

She planted her feet too close, but rather than move them, she's leaning back 20 deg which is making her wobbly and deeply self-concsious and uncomfortable.

She has an amazing side-eye that she can give, that just oozes incredulity.

Thank you, she really is! Regal is the word I've used many times.

David @scotinus.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

You'd think you'd maybe establish a profit on the chips you already have before borrowing $40 billion to buy more. Unless that is, you're terrified what will happen if you don't keep peddling and the wheel stops! www.ft.com/content/d3f5...

I cannot begin to imagine where that one came from. At least with electricity and water there's a connection of sorts.

David @scotinus.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

It bugs me a little that the "electrocution by battery in ocean" scenario was not sufficiently debunked and many Americans might sorta believe that. I hope I'm wrong.

That's not "profanity-filled"! That was barely profanity-seasoned.

David @scotinus.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Art, literature or software. It's still plagiarism by AI and totally uncool.

David @scotinus.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

SCOTUS might be a little more "conservative" in granting those emergency stays, and in being clear about the reasoning behind their ruling.
