Derick Hanna, Vice President of Inter-Con (USIP’s security contractor) , told O’Brien that “DOGE threatened to cancel every federal contract Inter-Con held if they did not come to the USIP building and let Kenneth Jackson [the purported new head of the Institute] inside.”

How big a threat was that? According to USASpending, Inter-Con has $209 million in government contractors currently.

Raphaël Glucksmann isn’t even remotely far-left, he’s more a center-left kind of guy. In fact, the french wikipedia article about the party he cofounded explicitly states “left to center-left”.

The thing is a lot of the ultra high-tech processes ASML uses rely on patents belonging to US actors such as universities. That’s the arm twist the US use to forbid them from selling to some countries. But if the Orange One insists on isolationism and full on trade war, that destroys a lot of incentives for ASML to honor the patents system.

“Republicans repeat propaganda and democrats don’t” isn’t even the conclusion of this paper, which you’d know if you had actually looked at it. In fact, we already knew that republicans spread more disinfo than democrats, it’s been demonstrated in multiple studies that are cited in this paper.

This particular study’s interest is about what triggers it : “Our research enhances our understanding of when and why conservatives tend to spread more misinformation than liberals. We find that an ideological asymmetry emerges when politically polarized situations trigger conservatives’ desire for ingroup dominance. Acting on that salient desire, conservatives spread ingroup-skewed political misinformation, which is of uncertain accuracy, but not definitively false. In less polarized situations, conservatives’ desire to achieve ingroup dominance is tempered, along with their misinformation conveyance.”

No problem. Thanks for the giveaway anyway :)

I’d like Kerbal Space program please.

That’s a Donald I can vote for.

Oh yeah ? Well Trump had an uncle who was a professor at MIT, so I guess they’re even. /s

From the NYT : "Shortly after J.D. Vance’s selection was announced, his hometown, Middletown, Ohio, was pounded by a strong storm with hail the size of golf balls that cleared parks and splash pads as people fled for cover. "

“The political hate needs to stop” ? Dude, did you ever listen to like 5 minutes of your beloved candidate’s speeches ?
