Historic letter from Peter Ticktin, Esq. to the President. Revelations galore tell a story everyone from John Ratcliffe to Judge Nichols fought to keep from the public.

Every member of the DC bench has ruled harshly against a J6-er, and has vested interest in burying this. Image

Fiction does intertwine with reality. The problem is that most people aren't smart enough to understand how.
They can only do 1:1 comparisons, treating fiction as if it were real & vice-versa, which is how you get people thinking this response is insightful in any way. Image
Space King is a comedy series. The violence is not meant to be taken "literally."
I say, "People find blowing the hell out of this trope funny cause they're sick of the trope" & this guy responds with a dead serious lore dump taking everything in the series at surface level.
So many people who aren't nearly as smart as they think they are & learned "criticism & analysis" on youtube ONLY know how to do this.
They're totally unequipped to critique comedy or anything more complex than a direct metaphor.

India has 14 crore air travelers a year.
But 92% of them never fly business class. 40% don’t fly more than once a year.

Now imagine What if Reliance launched an airline?
This is not fantasy. This is a thought experiment in business dominance.

The same playbook that broke telecom (Jio), reshaped retail (Reliance Retail), and is now shaking up finance (Jio Financial) would be applied to aviation

Here’s the 7-step blueprint Mukesh Ambani would use to own the Indian skies:

Step 1: Enter With a Controlled Explosion

Reliance doesn’t enter quietly. It nukes old pricing models.

Remember Jio’s ₹0 SIMs?
Now imagine this in aviation:

● ₹9999 domestic flight packs
● Buy 1 Get 1 free flights
● Free flights for Jio Postpaid Max users
● Cashback for using Jio Financial cards
● “₹1 ticket” flash sale events (like mega bus in Europe)

This isn’t marketing. It’s disruption as strategy.
Step 2: Build an Aviation Ecosystem, Not Just an Airline

Reliance doesn’t create products.
It builds ecosystems that lock you in.

Their airline would plug into:

● JioFiber + JioCinema for in-flight streaming
● JioMart for in-flight snacks
● AJIO for duty-free fashion
● Jio Financial for zero-cost EMI travel cards
● JioAir routers for 5G skies
● Reliance fuel at airports for discounted ATF

Every flight would be a Reliance ad, Reliance app, Reliance experience.

An update for energy geeks on Sydney Ring South.

This is bad. Last Thursday, the NSW government made it crystal clear that they're entirely reliant on AEMO for assessing the need for Sydney Ring South.

Clean buck-pass. No sign of comprehension, let alone responsibility. 1/ Image
Image
Image
This is bad, because Transgrid has said, plain as day, that they're not happy with AEMO's models.

This needs more attention.

In particular, Central NSW (CNSW) to Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong (SNW) being modelled as a single link.

This could be a catastrophic flaw. 2/ Image
So I've dived a little into the sources, namely the AEMO IASR workbooks that describe how they model the network.

You can see easily how this wrap-around Central NSW Zone basically provides enormous connection capacity into SNW.

To the model, that link looks STRONG. 3/ Image

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "UNDERSTANDING THE USA-ISRAEL AID DEAL

It seems this is now a current issue, with both certain personalities on the Left, and perhaps the Democratic Party leadership, and
1)
some people on the Right have asserted that the USA should not be aiding Israel for whatever reasons that they find interesting today.

So, what is the agreement?

Briefly, the agreement has several parts.
2)
(A) The USA budgets an annual expense of some $3 Billion for Israel. 85% of the $3 Billion must be spent in the USA. (This is unique among all US Aid programs as no other program has such a provision).

That tall man in the black dress is Elon Musk’s son. Watch his non-verbal mannerisms. Like father, like son.

This is why @elonmusk hates “the woke mind virus” and is trying to destroy it.

I wonder if he’s figured out where it is derived from? 🧵👇

Christmas Giveaway #1: The Complete Vibe Coding Playbook

If you've tried vibe coding before, but kept getting stuck before you could finish, this playbook is for you

Follow it step-by-step and you'll cross the finish line with a working application, completely free, in less than a day (bookmark this):
*Quick Note:*
This is part 1 of our Christmas Playbook Giveaway: brought to you by myself and @eyad_khrais.

We're dropping everything we used this year to vibe-code 100x faster and master AI tools in record time.

Turn on post notifications because the next playbook (N8N Mastery) drops this week.

Now onto the Vibe Coding playbook
1. Step 0: Your Philosophy

Treat the LLM you use to vibe-code like a brilliant but forgetful intern.

If you tell it 'build me X' and then hit 'accept all' on everything, it's going to start hallucinating and veering off course very quickly. Then your project hits a wall, and you give up.

If instead you give it:

1. a clear plan
2. frequent course-corrections
3. tiny, atomic tasks
it will build your whole app.

Urban India is furious at IndiGo.

If only it was this angry when millions of migrants were walking home on foot.

Thread. 1/18 Image
For a country that prides itself on moving fast, India was strangely unprepared for the week in 2025 when IndiGo—the airline that had become shorthand for middle-class mobility—simply stopped working. 2/18
Aviation in India has always been a performance—a stage where the country acts out its idea of arrival. If the railways carry everyone, aviation is meant to carry those who imagine they have moved beyond the crowds of railway platforms.

When I made this suggestion, in response to Elon Musk calling for the abolition of the EU, I got the usual abuse from right wing nuts, that I was a commie, a retard, etc, etc. I will justify what I said. Billionaires, should not exist.
1/🧵
In any fair and rational system, there would be progressive taxation, that made it impossible for anyone to accumulate that sort of wealth. By progressive taxation, I mean wealth taxation, that increases proportional to the wealth being accumulated. So a moderate wealth tax on millions.

However, if someone starts accumulating hundreds of millions, this tax should get progressively higher, until it becomes impossible to accumulate billions.

There are 2 main reasons I say this. Neither of them involves either envy, or ideology.
2/
The first reason, is that billionaires are anti-democratic. They subvert democracies with their wealth, to put in place politicians who work for the them, against the public interest. This is objective, a large proportion of billionaires actively engage in propaganda and disinformation, to gaslight the public.

@vallisvix @Howlingmutant0 @DecarlosBr4553 The general Chinese populace despises you. They're the most anti-black asians by far. Anything otherwise is overwhelmingly optics. White worship is among the highest in China out of any Asian country. They clearly think you're unspeakably ugly, but they actually love you?
@vallisvix @Howlingmutant0 @DecarlosBr4553 I don't believe you just want us gone. You're a race of infantile narcissists who will make up anything to justify hatred of anyone who's ever had to deal with you. That's why you keep making up the most cartoonish blood libel imaginable about whites.

@vallisvix @Howlingmutant0 @DecarlosBr4553 If the crimes of the Arab slave trade/all the anti-black racism in the Muslim world were properly publicized, they'd be your targets. Not like you need even that though. Many of them you unabashedly despise the Japanese, a race who've never done anything to you.

Thread 1/13--I wrote an article on a Protect Democracy project here uncoverdc.com/2022/08/03/nat…
But in that document is this link- which was updated in October 2024

s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2145…
2/what does this Protect Democracy white paper say??
3/The report, “Advantaging Authoritarianism: How the U.S. Electoral System Favors Antidemocratic Extremism,” is a 60+ page Protect Democracy paper by Grant Tudor (first published 2022, updated Oct. 2024). It argues that the design of the U.S. electoral system—especially winner-take-all, single-member House districts and party primaries—structurally helps what it calls America’s “authoritarian faction,” which it locates primarily on the Trump-aligned right.

I have read a lot of first comic scripts by new writers lately.

A lot of them have very good ideas, but make basic mistakes in execution.

Here are a few bits of advice if you are just starting out writing comics, things to avoid.

Other pros welcome to add to this thread.
1/
NAME YOUR CHARACTERS.

This is annoying, and even pros do it. If you have a character we are supposed to know, you have to name them ON PANEL, not just in script.

I read a major publisher book recently where the main characters were never called by name.

A huge mistake.

2/
TOO MUCH DIALOGUE

Almost all writers do this at times.

But it is wearying, it is exhausting to read, and mostly it shows a lack of awareness of how to use a comics page. There are people who do this well and a LOT who do it badly.

It's alienating. Don't do it.
