    RT @blackroomsec: Alfred Henry Lewis, answered this in an article he wrote for the New York Journal on October 13, 1896, when speaking about labor unrest, "The only barrier between us and anarchy is the last nine meals we've had". 3 days of no meals for the majority of society, essentially, before there is unrest. We can look at two examples from history to get a glimpse into what that might look like. The French Revolution and Hurricane Katrina. Myself and others spoke about this at length over the last couple of years and when I mentioned it I said that even if 1 million people marched on DC it would completely cripple the city. It would be a powder keg. There have been marches for various social issues but those were orderly and controlled. Now put those same amount of people who are extremely angry, out of work, no way to obtain new employment, hungry, and they aren't going to be civil about it. There also won't be 1 million of them but rather several orders of millions. Here in the US many of them will have firearms. You also will not be able to vote your way out of this. Both sides are heavily invested in this AI stuff and they absolutely do not understand any of it in order to properly regulate it. They can barely turn on their iPhones. In just under 3 weeks they're going to allow Anthropic to IPO even though their S1 documentation is in itself a recipe for one of the biggest Ponzi schemes that ever existed to the point where it makes Bernie Madoff look like an amateur. Unfortunately, Covid taught our various government officials that society will not stand up for themselves and will allow their governments to lock them in their own homes. Many of the officials who voted for those ridiculous policies were re-elected and shouldn't have been in any modern democratic society, because their actions were not democratic in any way. They scared people into compliance and for several years, too. They also convinced people to ostracize and demonize those who did stand up for their rights, turning them into co-conspirators. Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That went out the window. They restricted speech and movement and were not punished for it, when they absolutely should have been. I don't think this is going to happen like the tech oligarchs say because many of the people they are referring to also happen to be elected officials who will now be affected by the very same outcomes whereas with Covid in particular they were exempt. It's why I draw a comparison to the Salem Witch Trials when speaking about this topic. Those little girls held many communities in their sway for a number of years and were only stopped because the very last person they accused was a Magistrate's wife who had an unassailable reputation. It hit him where he lived so he put a stop to it. 19 people died though before that magistrate stopped the insanity and only did so because it affected him personally. We basically have to pray for the same if this comes to pass. Otherwise? Everyone is going to roll over initially and then it'll get medieval very quickly. There are a lot of people using this AI stuff for tasks they can perform themselves and probably a lot quicker but they have been convinced that they no longer can do these things on their own. In the last couple of weeks I have noticed the models have been referring to any work you do with it as "our" work where they are taking some credit. You got these AI orgs convincing people without any proof that they have solved math problems no one else has been able to, thus far. And like I said last week they're going to soon claim they cured cancer too. They just announced another biolab last night and specifically said they are targeting cancer. I don't have any answers but I do know I'm not going to be worshiping at the altar of this thing because I have integrity and a solid sense of self-preservation. I'm on the side of humanity. Join me.

    Peter Mick @ThePeterMick
    X ALGORITHM UPDATE 🚨 X just stopped cutting new posts first, and that should help small accounts (I check it daily with Claude and share updates worth sharing with you) tl;dr: - X can only check 2,800 posts each time you open your feed - new posts used to be last in line, so they got cut first - now everything gets cut equally, new posts included - posts labeled low quality or misinfo now show a warning, and people can't like, reply or share them - no score changes this time lesson learned: your new posts now get a fair chance to be seen. Your first 2 hours still matter most. full details: - How it worked until this week Every time someone opens For You, X collects around 3,700 posts it could show them: posts from people they follow, popular posts, posts liked by similar people, and brand new posts. But X only has time to check 2,800 of them. So it just took the first 2,800 in line. Brand new posts were at the back of the line. When there were too many, they were the ones left out... and a post that never gets checked can't be shown. - What changed Now everything gets cut by the same amount. 25% too many? Every type of post loses 25%, new posts included. Nobody goes first. - Why small accounts should care Those brand new posts are under 2 hours old, with under 8 likes and under 500 views. That's where most posts from smaller accounts are. My read: they now get a fair chance instead of being cut first. How often X actually hits the 2,800 limit isn't in the code, so I can't tell you how big the difference is. - Low quality and misinfo posts now show a warning If X labels your post as low quality or misinformation, people who don't follow you see a warning on it, and they can't like, reply, repost, bookmark or share it. The code doesn't say what gets a post that label. Here's a recap of what you should be doing: - a new post gets its extra push only in its first 2 hours and first 200 views, so post when your people are online - likes carry more weight than ever at 0.66 each - people sticking around pays, the time-spent score is 50% higher than two weeks ago - a read of 10+ seconds after someone opens your post adds 0.4 - the boost favors the post with the best like rate from its first viewers - accounts up to 50K can get one fresh original lifted to roughly 16th - nothing beats a copy link share, it scores 20 - replies, quotes and DM shares each score 5 - talk with your mutuals, replies between you score 20 instead of 5 - originals are the only posts that travel outside your follower base - the 1st and the 32nd like each open a new route to strangers - your 2nd post in the same feed is worth 62% of the first, so pick your best one - videos still need 10+ seconds to qualify for the video lists - earning a follow adds 4 - a pinned post with a bad link can flag the account for 7 days, worth a quick check What you should NOT be doing: - posts that get labeled low quality or misinfo now carry a warning, and nobody outside your followers can like or share them - video alone won't carry you, an open counts 0.02 and the watch 0 - hide-worthy posts cost more, "not interested" sits at -52.27 - a post at 3am burns its 2 hour window before anyone sees it - a tap that turns into a bounce is worth only 0.3 - replies and reposts don't get past your followers - insults get your post hidden from anyone who doesn't follow you - adult media in 3 of your last 5 posts puts a label on your account - disguised content in videos gets checked from 64 likes, harder at 512 - self-reply chains under big accounts risk being zeroed - one account label and non-followers stop seeing you entirely - low-rated links don't belong in your pinned post - recycled wording can get tagged as copypasta spam - strangers tagged plus a low quality link is a pattern X flags - engagement bait has no size exemption - several posts in a row end up competing with each other - hashtag stacks add nothing - bookmarks are still worth 0 - 48 hours in, For You is finished with a post

    RT @PeymanAskari451: The incoming BC Liberal Party (aka BC Conservative Party) will make the minimal conservative readjustments to placate the restless masses.
    Anthony Russo @AnthonyRussoBC
    Do you see the bigger picture of what just happened in British Columbia? If you think the few months were simply political infighting, you’re missing something much bigger. We had a democratically elected Conservative leader. A real conservative. Kerry-Lynne Findlay had grassroots support, a clear vision, and something rare in Canadian politics: the backbone to follow through. But there was a problem. She wasn’t aligned with the federal Liberals or the globalist agenda I believe is driving this country. She proposed a Western coalition to challenge federal overreach, fight the gun grab, defend freedom of religion and expression, enshrine property rights, and protect digital free speech. She wasn’t promising to fight back. She was preparing to do it. That threatened more than a few political careers. A provincial government willing to challenge Ottawa? A leader who couldn’t be controlled by the usual power brokers? That was a problem. Then came the operatives, lobbyists, and party insiders. The backroom scheming, attempts to undermine her leadership, and ultimately blackmail. I watched it unfold. And eventually, they got what they wanted. Goodbye KLF. Goodbye grassroots democracy. Party bosses installed their own leader without a membership vote, then moved to rewrite the constitution so he wouldn’t face a leadership race. The members elected a leader. Insiders replaced her and moved to change the rules to keep their man in power. No vote. No accountability. No voice for members. All TWO DAYS before an election writ dropped. Just another coincidence? Now zoom out. This is bigger than BC. Canada is being pushed toward centralized power, diminished freedoms, and increasingly powerless citizens. Call it globalism. Call it the political ruling class. Call it whatever you want. Look what’s happening. Mass immigration is transforming Canada, while election laws don’t require voters to produce documentary proof of citizenship. You can declare yourself a citizen without producing citizenship documents at the ballot box. In BC, you can vote without presenting your own ID if another voter vouches for you. Citizenship determines who shapes this country’s future. Why aren’t we demanding stronger verification? Non-citizens cannot legally vote. But a prohibition and the safeguards enforcing it are different things. Now ask yourself. If powerful political interests are shaping this country’s direction, how do you keep the population from revolting? Give them the illusion of choice. Change the jerseys. Change the faces. Give people a few victories. No more free drugs. A marginal tax adjustment. A handful of promises. The sheep celebrate. The sheep go back to sleep. Different shepherd. Same direction. Globalists advance their agenda. Government promises to reverse it, but doesn’t. Elections come and go, but the same insiders, lobbyists, and powerful interests remain. Canadians keep fighting over which jersey deserves their loyalty. The greatest political illusion is convincing people they’re in control while ensuring their choices never threaten those holding power. Give the sheep just enough hope. Just enough change. Just enough outrage at the other team. Keep them divided, distracted, and fighting each other instead of questioning who’s directing the herd. How many broken promises? Political betrayals? Conservative governments that conserve absolutely nothing? How much worse does Canada need to get before people wake up? Real change doesn’t come from changing jerseys. It comes from changing who holds power. The power brokers won this round in BC. But here’s what they should fear. The day the sheep realize they’re being herded is the day the shepherds lose control. Stop worshipping parties. Stop celebrating crumbs. Stop mistaking a change of jerseys for a change of direction. The illusion only works as long as we believe it. Wake up, Canada.

    RT @BCCuda: πŸ“£I CONTACTED COSTCO AND SUNRISE FARMS. HERE'S WHAT I FOUND.πŸ“£ A Costco meat manager confirmed to me that Kirkland-branded chicken, beef, and lamb are halal-certified. Organic chicken is not. I was told this has been the practice for YEARS. The beef is certified, but if opened and cut in store it is "no longer Halal". I also contacted Sunrise Farms, which confirmed that they are halal-certified. However, when I asked whether they stun animals BEFORE slaughter, I was transferred and received no answer. Lilydale is now owned by Sofina Foods, but I was unable to reach anyone there by phone. SO WHAT DOES HALAL SLAUGHTER MEAN? Halal slaughter requires a prescribed religious method, including a throat incision and a prayer or invocation. The use of stunning depends on the halal certification requirements: some halal standards permit reversible stunning before the cut; others do not. In conventional slaughter, animals are generally stunned before the cut to render them unconscious. The important question is whether halal-certified meat is produced using pre-slaughter stunning or without it. WHAT DOES CANADIAN LAW SAY? Under Canada's federal slaughter regulations, religious slaughter may be conducted without prior stunning under specified conditions. The rules require the animal to be unconscious before it is suspended and dead before dressing procedures begin. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) regulates slaughter practices, but halal certification alone does not tell consumers whether an animal was stunned before its throat was cut. MY QUESTION IS SIMPLE: If consumers are buying halal-certified meat without realizing it, shouldn't they be able to find out exactly how the animals were slaughtered? I contacted these companies to get answers. I still have an important unanswered question: **ARE THE ANIMALS STUNNED BEFORE SLAUGHTER?** Consumers deserve clear, transparent answers.
