Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 16/02/2025Umm, how much is getting through? That is the count isn’t it? 000
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 13/02/2025It’s worth remembering that Germany has refused to send Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine for more than a year. Europe actually needs to do stuff, not just jabber. 020
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 06/02/2025Not enjoying this new presidency, but there are some stinky ends on the USAID money flows. That was our tax money to aid those less well off in this world. Did much of this money leave the country and it’s top income bracket? 010
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 04/02/2025Strong leaders is not western Europe’s forte right now. Plutocrat or otherwise. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbXZ...youtube.comThe DrillYouTube video by The Dor Brothers 000
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 26/01/2025It is BlueSky and the bots are in the house, like it is 1997 and it is Yahoo Chat. 020
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 25/01/2025Why does the US actually have borders anyway. In this wired day and age do they make any difference to anything? 070
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Team Blue love distractions. It allows us not to focus on what we need to focus on in the lead up to 2026 and 2028. 020
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Team Blue getting distracted once again. There will be mountains of this sort of thing to keep Team Blue’s eye off the ball over the next 4 years. 010
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 22/01/2025This is what Trump is on about. Does not want to see Europe split off one by one to China. The Spanish should speak to their Germans and see how the China relationship worked out for them. 020
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 20/01/2025In a shock move, Davos are ditching ESG like a bucket of warm spit. I wonder if they still want us to eat bugs. Stay tuned. 030
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 20/01/2025I had an afternoon nap and woke up to see if this had in fact been part of the dream where Winona Ryder had proposed marriage to me. Alas not. And no proposal either. A Gin & Tonic calls to me. 020
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 20/01/2025Herr Michaelis presumably has some magic idea about how Trump is about to take power of the Senate and Congress, neither body known for surrendering powers. Not like Germany where you can do it with a doddering old figurehead. 010
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 20/01/2025He may have made a bit more than that. However, nothing on the scale of Trump. There was a reason that Trump appears in so many rap lyrics and Biden does not. 000
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 20/01/2025Twitter really only works if you curate a feed and read just that. But every now and then you want to click "For You" to widen the feed, and yea verily walk through the valley of slime. 010
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 20/01/2025How to make cash vis a vis future decisions without taking "bribes": start a meme coin which donors can pump start a foundation - take donations have a family member create and sell art Too hard? Then just "make trades on inside information received as a federal politician". 010
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 20/01/2025The story about Bernays and the suffragettes is greatly instructional. 110
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 20/01/2025Yes - the variety. I did like my narrowly curated feed on Twitter but got incredibly pissed at Musk sticking his dick-pic-opinions on every 20 minutes. 110
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 20/01/2025My kids claim they are not influenced but I can see points of view they have as articles of faith that they cannot explain in debate. 110
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 20/01/2025I am sure that you came to this conclusion directly. I am more thinking about the young minds on the social media apps who have not made a lifetime of study of the way of the world, unlike you. You can discern. 110
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 20/01/2025This is a problem ByteDance can rectify very quickly, seeing that you can now "monetarily influence decision making" by purchasing one of two recent coin issues. 000
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 20/01/2025That is why I am against "get all your news here" recommendations. When you vary your intake, it becomes much easier to spot the "nudge". 110
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 20/01/2025The above Russian examples are examples of dividing opinion. Fox News is that. Everyday retirees turn it on for a conservative voice that matches the psyche of the America they grew up in. Instead they get radicalising cant. 220
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 20/01/2025Yes, of course, people within America do this. David Axelrod is a famous "pupil" of Bernays. However, China and Russia are at war with the West, whether we recognise that or not. I imagine the Chinese actively push the "who cares about my data" conversation. 210
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 20/01/2025It is about accessing minds, not data. The ability to "engineer consent", as Bernays called it. Shaping the public’s choices without them realising they’re being influenced. Allowing people to make decisions against their best interests. Russia did this in 2016. www.nytimes.com/2017/11/01/u...nytimes.comThese Are the Ads Russia Bought on Facebook in 2016 (Published 2017)A look at some of the ads designed by Russia to exploit divisions in American society and to tip the 2016 election in favor of Donald J. Trump. 120
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 20/01/2025This is a very, very tough question. He is showing signs of advanced exposure to his rectal vapours. 000
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 20/01/2025From what I understand, the DOGE officials found him to be a twat, as the English would have it. 180
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 20/01/2025They certainly buy the "Who cares if the Chinese government runs this site? I am not important" bit. 110

Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 20/01/2025We are definitely in the "saying the quiet part out loud" section of the film. 000
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 20/01/2025Don't forget that there are a large number of people, possibly a significant percentage this site's users, who would like to destroy that film. 010
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 20/01/2025I think a few GOPers had the notion that he had learned something from his first term in office. Now - as Benjamin Franklin said - "Bears and Kings worry their keepers". 111
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 20/01/2025He is doing everything in his power to uphold this fine tradition. 110
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 19/01/2025He DNGAF. He’s just used his public position to launch 2 shitcoins. GOP rep-damage crew will be told to cancel all leave for the next two years. 000
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 19/01/2025Please Team Blue, stop all the wallowing. Trump will be a disaster = generational Blue opportunity. 2026 then 2028. 010
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 19/01/2025The other thing we can celebrate tomorrow is Davos. The world’s super rich and upper echelons of the PMC getting together to decide how to carve up the turkey … uhh I mean solve the world’s problems. 130
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 19/01/2025LOL, he is not even sworn in and he has already lost a member of Team Grift. Department officials discovered that taking an instant dislike to someone saves time. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/viv...cbsnews.comVivek Ramaswamy expected to depart DOGETrump's choice to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency is expected to announce a gubernatorial campaign after the new administration begins. 000
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 19/01/2025No different to all that money the Dems raised prior to the last election. Dems were much better at it than the GOP too. This is the fallout of that awful Citizens United decision. O, for the reversal of this and the restoration of Roe v Wade. 000
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 19/01/2025AI in all industries is about increasing the business owners’ margins through elimination of human labor. Funders will demand it. 000
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 19/01/2025A lot of people running little e-commerce operations right now are learning the lesson of basing your business on somebody else’s platform. #optionality 010
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 19/01/2025At least this has brought “awww, they are cool AND they are Blue!” to a reverent halt. 000
Serge @sergejanus.bsky.social · 19/01/2025Feel sorry for Gibbs on the losing Lions side. Was THE lion out there tonight. 000
