About a month back I was searching for a visual image to compliment my description of what would happen if you fell into a phosphoric acid reactor/dehydrator. The sort you'd see at a phosphorous mine.

My search has ended.

@mcnado from what I recollect the thinnest sliver of Ivermectin correlation came from a study done in the developing world.

The developing world it turns out, has a non-trivial amount of parasite hosting people. Which is what ivermectin was actually used for in veterinary medicine - treatment of intestinal parasites. So yeah, a statistically significant amount of people got better in these studies.

It took time to identify what was really going on in that study. All of this flies 7,000' above Joe Rogan's head and gets left completely out of the conversation happening around Ivermectin by then.

In the context of the hunta virus however... Just no. Like WTF stupid. It's flood the zone BS. Noise. Stupid shit to occupy the limited mental bandwidth of the bottom 1/2 of the bell curve.

A Rubio translator: We have exhausted the means at our disposal for weaponizing the "peace talk" format. There is nothing the Trump Cabal can do at this point to to lend sucor to Putin's stillborn ambitions.

@nixCraft Democratic leadership cant fix problems, if they did there would be nothing to run against. If you had an actual opposition party they would be running on a platform of fund the IRS like it's ICE and tax the wealth hoarding idiots out of existence. This is a captured system where both parties are being drawn behind corporate financing.

@mttaggart excellently written. A blueprint for the next generation of non-corporate anti-fascist digital technology.

@heidilifeldman the Civil War was a frozen conflict nobody won. Everyone lost with the possible exception of war industry oligarchs. And yeah, it's thawed.

Shareholder owned prisons equalized who can become a slave while the financial services industry restructured endentured servitude as the default for all but the intergenerationaly wealth. Sharecropping with a cellphone.

@Strandjunker

Most Americans can't see past next Friday. The Trump regeim sees only the worst in people.

@paco Rebuilding this kind of bushleague setup made me money year in year out for awhile back in the 20-teens. You can have it done cheap, you can have it done quick, and you can have it done well. But you never get all three.

What throws me is the VFD pump sitting inside that mess

@afreytes It's not your fault that "tech-bro bullshit" and "dark patterns" are basically the same thing.

@codinghorror theft en masse as a business model

@greenpete @Christo_459 @eclectech

In the US it's been the fruits of a century long campaign that began during the curtailment of excess following the last great depression. It was not by accident that we've gotten here. The heirs of the industrial revolution got their wings clipped and now their great grandchildren are in league with petrol-oligarchs to stomp every ember of democracy out.

My answer, in short, is to destroy every vestage of carbon energy infrastructure as quickly as possible. Ideally replacing it with renewables, though not necessarily if unavoidable. Heroine withdrawal in order to avoid dieing in our sleep.

@eclectech

"Eight years later, Bezos and two of the world’s other richest men—Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk—have clearly left the world of consequences behind. They float in a sensory-deprivation tank the size of the planet, in which their actions are only ever judged by themselves."

Yeah, I believe it.

@anyia @alice once assembled, yes!

@alice that's putting it mildly...

@nixCraft Apartheid Nazi's democracy destroying siege engine being a democracy destroying siege engine.

@cmconseils You pay us to opt-out or we will throw you in the advertising derivatives market. This is enshitification 101 and it's been going on since soap operas were in black and white.

just going to leave this here @skykiss
