ROGER KIMBALL: The Passion of Scott Adams. “It is true, by the way, that ‘everyone agrees’ with the point that Adams made. Everyone knows it is true. But no one is supposed to admit that it is true. Adams made it all worse by observing that ‘There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps . . . then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved.’ Oh, wait. I got my notes confused. That wasn’t Scott Adams. That was the professional black Jesse Jackson in 1993.”
i hope musk sees the people who refuse to support trump killing twitter. He should amplify the J6 video dump to the eyes of CNN viewers in hope of reaching me.
this is just the kick in the pants WE need to wean off assistance! Embrace it
Comptroller warns: "I must urge your institution to change course and offer a secure environment for your LGBTQ+ students and staff to create a supportive space to rightfully express their full selves."
My appearance on Chicago's Morning Answer about the launch of EqualProtect.org: "as long as each individual is being treated fairly without regard to race, then group outcomes don't matter. We don't buy into, I don't accept, that group measurements are the way to measure fairness."
School should study why UK didn't have a war over slavery like we did. I just learned this myself. I think it was Jordan Peterson podcast or Prager U ???
Critical race theory lessons are fostering anger and aggression instead of empathy among children. This is most obvious on the playground.

FDA rejected Musk's Neuralink for human testing trials
Neuralink had its application for starting human testing rejected by the FDA in 2022, according to Reuters. The agency said Neuralink had to address dozens of issues before human testing would be allowed. These included safety concerns about the device's battery, the potential for device wires to migrate to other parts of the brain, and whether the device can be removed without damaging the brain.
The revelation of the FDA rejection contrasts with prior predictions from Musk, who claimed on Nov. 30 that the company would receive FDA human trial approval by the end of spring 2023.
Neuralink has not released details about its trial application, the rejection, or specifics on the agency's concerns.
The rejection may have come about in part due to Musk's differing views on regulators, according to former staffers. The billionaire has been regularly critical of agencies such as the FDA and the Securities and Exchange Commission and has regularly attempted to evade their rules. He also ran the startup similarly to his other businesses, which may not have allowed the company to accommodate all relevant medical concerns.
The Department of Agriculture's Inspector General opened an investigation into Neuralink's experiments in early 2022 over allegations that the company had violated animal welfare laws.
Over 20 current and former employees allegedthat pressure from Musk to speed up development led to more failed experiments and animals being tested and killed. More than 1,500 animals are estimated to have been killed by the company following experiments since 2018, including 280 sheep, pigs, and monkeys.
The company was also sued by activists in Feb. 2022, who alleged that Musk's organization had tortured and mutilated monkeys while researching the subject.
An incident with such grave environmental, energy and security implications should be properly investigated with the guilty party held accountable. Having appeared to blame Russia for the explosions, the US should welcome an international investigation – unless it has something to hide.
After Brandon Howse opens the show, it's Tore's turn and another fast moving discussion on the events of our times. Is there a need for a big crisis? The age of disinfor and some major testimony. Arizona events and the Mandan massacre. Court corruption and how far the cartels can go. A grisly twelve minutes. Property managers, paid hits and why the feds got involved. The truth can stand on it's own, and lies always collapse. All video evidence should be immediately available to the J6 prisoners. The people and the power of the pen. It's all covered at full speed, down to the new islands just going up for sale. The pace is hot but the hosts just manage to keep up. Run time is one hour and eleven minutes.
no, Bezos does that, not Musk. Go see where Amazon makes its REAL money.
DON SURBER: How Elon Musk Survives. Essentially by making himself indispensable to the most powerful part of the Establishment. “By making the Pentagon reliant on him, he has a powerful ally against the FBI and other abusers of federal power.”
Users on social media appeared bothered by a recently implemented and little-noticed feature that slows down iPhone charging times in an effort to reduce carbon emissions.
Users spoke out about the iPhone's Clean Energy Charging feature, which Apple introduced in the iOS 16.1 update in October 2022. The feature reviews reports of carbon emissions from local power plants and uses that information to determine if and when the phone recharges. People noticed on Sunday that the feature was activated by default and encouraged users to review their power settings.
"I'm glad Apple is working on dynamic charging to shift to low carbon hour," tweeted Fervo Energy CEO Tim Latimer. "BUT the way they rolled it out isn't great. Limited awareness, default position is opted in. We should demand better transparency and choice for clean energy solutions or it's going to backfire."
Clean Energy Charging works in tandem with the Optimized Battery Charging feature, which uses information about user charging rates to determine the ideal time to charge the battery.
Several users were displeased that Apple had implemented the new feature by default. "Apple is forcing their ESG [bulls***] on its users," one user tweeted. "Don’t let them dictate how you use your $1000 phone."
If a user does wish to turn Clean Energy Charging off, they can do so by entering his or her iPhone settings, clicking "Battery," then "Battery Health and Charging," and then turning off the switch titled "Clean Energy Charging."
Post-Brexit Britain finds itself in dire economic straits, with crushed delusions of global glory and disappointed hopes of US support. Yet if it seizes this moment to rejoin the EU, it may just find itself welcomed back with open arms.
i listened to him religiously until i realized he only cares about money. He crafted his chicken shit youtube channel to stay away from demonitization at the cost of activism. Now I listen to the smartest person i have ever heard, Tore Maras.
During.a YouTube show, Dilbert creator Scott Adams described people who are black as members of ‘a racist hate group’. Various media officials said they would no longer provide a platform for Adams’ work.
funny how everyone uses musk stock footage images since he removed himself from the public. 'dont blame him.
Pay no attention to that Supreme Court case about Twitter's algorithmic liability
If Twitter owner and CEO Elon Musk is to be believed, the social media platform's algorithm is finally going open source, and it's happening "next week." …

whats the whole story on PV and ousting James Okeife? Infiltration I assume??
When I was in private practice prior to joining Cornell in 2007, almost half my practice was representing employees against stock brokerage firms. I was very familiar with the drill when a company wanted to get rid of someone, or defend an employment claim: Audit expense reports.

A flash bang grenade explodes in the crowd of unsuspecting Trump supporters on January 6, 2021 at the US Capitol.
As we have reported all along, on January 6, 2021 the Capitol Hill Police began firing rubber bullets, gas canisters, flash grenades on the Trump supporters gathered around the US Capitol without warning.
In the hundreds of conversations we have had with January 6 attendees, political prisoners, and police abuse victims, they all say the same thing. Innocent people were attacked by police without warning.
This was an attack on the American people.
While FBI-Deep State operatives, like Ray Epps, were breaking through barriers and leading Trump supporters to the Capitol, police were readying to fire on them indiscriminately without warning.
Four Trump supporters died that day in the violence. Dozens more were injured. Two Trump supporters, Kevin Greeson and Benjamin Phillips, died immediately when police started firing on the crowd – without warning.
We have proof today that there were dozens if not hundreds of government operatives leading the crowd that day to the US Capitol in what can only be described as a planned attack.
Here is the police brutality evidence thread released by InvestigateJ6 earlier this week.
What led to the storming of the US Capitol on January 6th? #FollowTheTimeline
POLICE BRUTALITY evidence thread.
On January 6th at 1:13pm: Officer Thau and the DC Metropolitan Police arrived on the Capitol’s West Plaza.
Upon arrival, Thau frantically requests Capitol Police provide him with “blast munitions” to start throwing at the mostly peaceful crowd.

At 1:22pm, Thau grabs a DC officer’s taser. He then rushes to the front line and proceeds to tase a random protestor who can be heard screaming in pain.
The crowd responds angrily to Thau’s offensive use of the weapon, yelling “what the fuck is wrong with you guys?!”
Blast and incendiary munitions arrive at 1:25pm.
From approx 1:25pm until 2:25pm, Capitol and DC police incite the crowd with an unrelenting barrage of grenades and mortars.
Protestor Kevin Greeson drops dead at 1:28pm. Witnesses allege he was killed by one of these grenades.

On January 6th at 2:02pm, protestor Derrick Vargo is pushed from a ledge on the NW staircase by a Capitol PD officer as he attempts to hang a Trump flag.
At 2:03pm, DC police first use their LRAD system (long range acoustic device), in violation of established protocol.
DC law requires police to give 3 separate warnings with the LRAD and an opportunity to disperse before using violence or munitions to clear a protest crowd.

The text images included here are from Jon Turley’s testimony on the clearing of the Pershing Park BLM protests outside the White House in 2020.
The attempted clearing of the West Plaza protest was evidently illegal according to case law highlighted in Turley’s 6/29/20 testimony. Oddly, Judge Emmet Sullivan, who wrote these rules, has not addressed this fact in his January 6th rulings and convictions.
The entirety of Turley’s remarkably relevant testimony can be found at http://congress.gov/116/meeting/house/110833/witnesses/HHRG-116-II00-Wstate-TurleyJ-20200629.pdf
On January 6th at 2:18pm, DC police Sgt. Edwards admits to his Commander that their munitions are hitting innocent people. Officer Thau admits that they are inciting ten protestors for every person they hit.

At 2:19pm, the DC commander orders officers not to “lose the steps of the Capitol.”
At 2:25pm, more 40mm munitions arrive. Thau orders Officer ‘Rich’ to shoot a CS mortar “over the fucking scaffolding.”
Rich misfires and gases the entire DC police line, causing them to retreat.
At 2:33pm, Thau tells arriving DC MPD officers to abandon the West Plaza, ordering them “do not go down the fucking stairs.”
