Crank science: "My unfalsifiable speculation beats your testable theories and empirical evidence."

So Zelensky desecrated the White House by not wearing a suit but this is ok?????

Until 1721, Russia was officially called "Muscovy." They rebranded to "Russia" to hijack Kyiv’s history and pose as the heirs of ancient Rus'.

Ukraine has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever…

A fake created from someone else’s photo. This is how Putin’s thugs’ propaganda works. Here is an example of cynical disinformation. A collage with the caption “children—victims of a terrorist attack in Starobelsk” is not proof of a tragedy, but a crude manipulation of information. This image is a collection of old photos found online of completely different people who have no connection to the alleged event. Among them are photos from social media, public and long-known images that have been circulating online for many years. In fact, the photos show: Top row (left): a girl whose selfie was taken from old personal profiles on social media (such as Pinterest) from the past. Center of the top row: Katerina Yuryevna, a Ukrainian blogger. Her black-and-white selfie was also copied from open sources. Top row (right): a girl next to a sculpture, whose photo was taken from casting platforms. Bottom row (from left): Boris Kipriyanovich (“the little guy with Mars”). This is a very famous photo on the internet showing a Russian boy who gained notoriety in the media in the early 2000s for his claims about a “past life on Mars.” The photo of his children has nothing to do with current events. Middle of the bottom row: a young man from a Scouting organization. This is an original photo of a member of “Plast” (the Ukrainian National Scouting Organization), taken during one of the official camps. Bottom row (right): a photo of a girl wearing a light jacket, taken from Ukrainian online platforms. Propaganda sources combined these random photos from the internet and added a fictitious date (May 22, 2026) to present them as “victims of shelling.” The goal is to provoke shock, hatred, and an emotional reaction, and to discourage critical thinking. When propaganda lacks real evidence, it steals other people’s photos. Even photos of children. Verify the information. Run a reverse image search. Don’t become a spreader of lies! Because today they stole someone’s photo to fabricate a story. Tomorrow they might steal yours.

Republican politician John McCain was one of the few people who understood from the beginning what Putin was all about. This interview is from 2014. It’s a shame most US politicians still lack this kind of clarity.

Elon’s mom caught posting from the perspective of Elon’s dad. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to assume Elon is posting on Twitter as both his parents & was on the wrong alt. The cringe deepens daily with this one.

The war is over when Russia stops attacking Ukraine, and when Russia gives up its central goal: To destroy or control all of Ukraine. After that we can discuss the borders, but as long as the Russians think they have American support they will continue

Next time pay for a more expensive model. GPT-4 mini isn't smart enough.

Northridge 1994 can't be validated with a robust model that reproduces observables under uncertainty with materials, connections, damage asymmetry, & energy dissipation within experimentally measured or code-bounded ranges. Therefore Northridge was a controlled demolition. 🤡

Talking about God with a Russian priest is a blasphemy against His name. The most shocking moment for me was in 2014, when Russia launched its invasion of Crimea and Donbas. My aunt brought home, from an evening service at the Russian Orthodox Church in Kyiv, so-called St. George ribbon and other symbols of the Russian army. While people were being killed in Ukraine, the Russian church was already preparing the ground for occupation. This is my personal story, and it became a turning point for me. But this is not only about ideology or propaganda. Russian priests - or clergy operating under the Russian church umbrella - have not just justified the war, the kidnapping of children, and blessed Russian tanks. They have also stockpiled ammunition, supplies, cash, and propaganda materials hidden inside churches on Ukrainian territory to help Russian occupation forces enter cities. The Russian Orthodox Church does not function as a religious institution, but as a network of sleeper cells tied to Russia’s FSB. The church as an independent religious institution was effectively destroyed under the Soviet Union and later rebuilt as a state-controlled propaganda structure. Below are just a few examples of what Ukraine’s Security Service has found during searches of Russian Orthodox Church facilities in different regions: pro-Kremlin libraries; materials praising Russia; large amounts of cash in multiple currencies - including Russian rubles; dry rations intended for Russian occupation units; and Russian passports.

"I personally think it superficially resembles some kinds of professional demolitions" is a reasonable statement but not a particularly strong statement.

Russia’s oil revenues are collapsing. Minus $25B in 2025, crude selling at half price. Sanctions Ukrainian strikes are hitting hard — U24. Ukraine strikes Novorossiysk and refineries almost daily. Seaborne exports fall 130k bpd. 350M barrels sit in tankers with no use. 1/

One can't disagree with an argument without first understanding that argument. If possible, you should be able to phrase their argument well enough that they agree "Yes, that's basically what I'm saying."
