Take the money and run? I tested X’s paid-promotion model, and it was woeful

Granted, a $50 investment wasn’t going draw in millions of clicks, but I expected more than just a few bots to show interest

What does 2% Mean?

2% of United States power being used for "bit"coin means what?

There are fifty states. 50.
2% of US power means bitcoin uses what an American State uses.

Several states use a great deal, California, Texas.

The scam bitcoin in the US uses up, uselessly, more electricity than MOST US STATES.

The scam bitcoin, making nothing, uses more electricity, diverts more real economic power, than most states in their entire economy.

Labour and investment

Either Labour don’t get it or Clive Lewis is too thick to understand.

An email I have had from him suggests that the 28Bn is just the start.

Get a grip mate - your party has already disowned it

Clive, get a proper job.

Well, abandon your ineffective politics, then, 'Sir' Keir. Throw us some red socialist meat. Promise to

  1. Reverse the privatisations in the ;
  2. Accelerate the transition from fossil fuels;
  3. Bring railways and utilities into public ownership (ideally as worker/consumer co-ops rather than nationalised);
  4. Bring in wealth taxes and, in particular, increase inheritance taxes.

Interesting,🤔 Google Bard doesn't want to answer this question "What are the differences between Hamas and Hezbollah?" , ChatGPT gives a good answer , https://chat.openai.com/share/306e9096-a0ca-4e30-bac6-29a4e034ac5b
It only forgets to mention Hezbollah is Shiite and Hamas mainly Suny, it does when I ask it as a follow-up question. But Google Bard doesn't want to talk about terrorist organisations it seems (=censorship)

Apologies, as this will be a bit , but it will come back to , I promise.

First, the of views along a single left-right is almost . This has long been known, and alternatives exist that present a much more accurate picture, but the traditional is to " this" and " that" and is lazy, so they'll probably never get better.

https://birdga.me is awesome. Play around with that one! 🐦

https://ooh.directory is a GREAT searchable directory of over 1900 blogs!

https://rotatingsandwiches.com is fairly pointless. But I like a LOT of pointless things. Heck, it looks nice, and it definitely delivers what it promises. 🥪
