Time to Excommunicate “FlatbushGirl” open.substack.com/pub/dannielleb…
FG said her next campaign will be “letting women know they should not be marrying Jewish men” b/c Jewish marriage is “abuse of the highest order.” Thinks it’s human rights violation to wait for sex. Whips up antisemitism to get what she wants.

In addition to believing she should be excommunicated, I think @RaphiStein should sue Adina Miles Sash for defamation + emotional distress. Now she has people calling his mother! Sash targeting his home in Montreal for public protest. Sick.

another EU policy thread: debt/fiscal policy. the commission's debt burden has increased by 8.6x since 2020 by €792.3bn! despite being "only" about 4-5% of EU GDP, it's a massive increase that reflects a policy shift in how europe approaches joint debt.
1/ Image
the dividing line is 2020: before SURE and NextGenerationEU, borrowing was usually programme-specific 'borrow-to-lend'; afterwards, the Commission became a large recurring issuer, increasingly acting like a federal state (at least fiscally).

the first EU loan was in 1954, when the Coal and Steel Community borrowed US$100mn for coal-and-steel investment and workers’ housing.

Kasparov: Putin is not just at war against Ukraine. He is at war against Europe, European institutions and the free world.

Dictators lie about what they have done, but very often they tell you exactly what they are going to do. Putin has for decades. 1/
Kasparov: Putin’s goal was, is and will be to restore the Russian Empire and push NATO back to 1997 borders.

Ukraine is the main target now, but not the ultimate goal. Europe still treats this as hypothetical. It is not a threat — it is a menace. 2/
Kasparov: Putin needs a success story: proving NATO is dead because Article 5 does not work.

Narva, Daugavpils, maybe Vilnius are ideal targets. It is not about occupying Europe; it is about showing NATO will debate, hesitate and fail to respond. 3/

Getting closer:

proposes Cosmos possesses torus-like topology

Synthesis provides self-consistent framework in which classical time evolution, Planck-scale structure, and cyclic toroidal geometry coexist, offering plausible bridge between general relativity & quantum cosmology. Image

Image
The toroidal universe hypothesis proposes Cosmos possesses torus-like topology rather than being infinite flat space or simple 3-sphere.

Mathematically, this can be modeled as a product of circles in higher dimensions: Image
Toroid Universe:

Space-time circulates in loops

Avoids classical singularity

Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and uneven expansion rates could naturally arise from the toroidal geometry; allows non-uniform expansion along different axes.

Get chickens people to eat the bill gates ticks.

Chickens readily consume ticks, and the tick's alpha-gal molecules or toxins are completely digested in the chicken's digestive tract, posing no risk of transferring a red meat allergy (alpha-gal syndrome) to humans.
No Allergy Transfer: Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) is only transmitted to humans when an infected Lone Star tick directly bites the human, introducing the sugar molecule into the human bloodstream. Eating a chicken that ate the tick does not trigger this immune response.

Another Homeric epithet that’s fun to think about is the one that Anglophones know as “the wine-dark sea”—which, like “wingèd words,” has by now entered the English language so forcefully that it’s hard to see what image H was actually thinking of. The Greek adjective “oinôps”…
…used to describe the sea (pontos) in fact has nothing to do w/ darkness or even color: it literally means “wine-FACED” (cf. “kynopis”, which = “dog-faced”). So what does it mean to have a “face like wine”? Hmm. *Is* Homer thinking of color here—the darkness of the open sea ?…
(In this context it may be worth remembering that contemporary Greek can refer to what we call “red” wine as “black” wine, μαύρο κρασί.) Maybe. But I’ve always thought that if H wanted to describe the sea with a color-word, he could have been plainer. So I finally decided…

Aberrant sexual orientation/gender identity groups have far higher rates of mental illness. This gap is present across all categories, to varying degrees, and is uniform in direction. Non-heterosexual women and transexuals have especially elevated rates: Image
Interestingly, the mental illness gaps between non-heterosexual and heterosexual women tend to be larger than those between non-heterosexual and heterosexual men. Within-sex rate differences: Image
Why this is the case is unclear, as both behavioural patterns seem equally unadaptive. Nonetheless, the trend is present on the genetic level as well; perhaps this is due to the psychopathology factor threshold for women to deviate from normalcy being higher? Image

I find that gen pop and policymakers find it very intuitive that superintelligence would be dangerous and hard to control.

The two main classes of people that disagree are 1) tech people and 2) a certain stripe of philosophy person.
To be fair, many of the tech people don't have the intuition that superintelligence control is easy because they use Claude Code a bunch, and so their extrapolation is "like Claude Code, but way way way smarter."
I think that's a pretty reasonable first extrapolation, and it's on us doomsayers to clearly explain why that visualization doesn't hold up, if it doesn't.

Trump’s slush fund is corrupt.  Let me count the ways: 🧵1/7
•Trump sued his own exec branch agency for leaking tax returns. If you buy the unitary executive theory, he is suing himself. 2/7
•Court jurisdiction requires genuine case or controversy with adversity between parties.
•When judge pointed out this flaw, Trump dismissed case, evading judicial review. 3/7

@riaan6974 @YVaw123 The Nation of Israel is zip to do with the state of Israel. 1948 was a Gog invasion imo. EU settler converts who invaded God's Jerusalem? 70 years later the apocalypse started with wildfires in 2018. 2019 the Pharmakeia of Covid-19? Followed by Bird Flu, Monkey pox, Hanta, Ebola? Image
