Tom Scott has covered this before:

And this excludes any computer "magic". It is fundamentally impossible to trust and verify a computer system in that way. All security experts agree that electronic voting is a horrible bad idea.

The only reasonable way to involve computers is to do OCR counting. That way the computer is just a much faster counter where humans can reproduce or substitute at any point.

That is actually extremely appropriate with regards to signal leaker Hegseth, because he is literally around 150 years out of date. From this news article

Germ theory was proven second half of 19th century by Dr Semmelweis and many others.

Don't worry he has put Jared Kushner in charge of the anti deepfake club

Speaking of which, the podcast Behind the bastards did a couple of episodes about the East India company:

• Part one: The most evil company in history
• Part two: The most evil company in history

Fourth episode just released:

Part four: Prince Mohammed Bin Salman: The tyrant of Saudi Arabia

Possibly if your neighborhood is DC, New Your or Florida because Donald Trump is a Dinosaur!.

Speaking of which, the most recent episodes from the podcast Behind the bastards is about this bastards:

• Part one: Prince Mohammed Bin Salman: The tyrant of Saudi Arabia
• Part two: Prince Mohammed Bin Salman: The tyrant of Saudi Arabia
• Part three: Prince Mohammed Bin Salman: The tyrant of Saudi Arabia

Trump has been advocating violence for a long time already, it is not like that is something new. Like a lot of times. Even back in the 80s he was advocating for killing innocent children in the Central Park Five case.

The BBC clip was not fake despite what Trump cultist claim. It was just a normal collection of excerpts of a longer speech he gave, condensed down to something shorter for consumption in a news program. That is what all TV news programs does all the time, every single day, thousands of times all around the world.

Could you argue that it slightly changes what he said compared to the full speech? Sure. But a map is inherently not the territory and even translating into a foreign language slightly changes things. And translators have a really hard time accurately translating Trump's incoherent ramblings.

The particular bridge at issue is the Lacey V. Murrow Memorial Bridge, used for the Sound Transit rail link across Lake Washington, and also used for I-90.

Sound Transit could not suffer the same fate as the SF Hydro in Norway, simply because that was a ferry, and the Sound Transit rail link is a bridge.

While the Murrow Bridge did sink in the past, that was in 1990 in the middle of a reconstruction project. The bridge was closed to traffic at the time. The sinking was due to a number of human errors that resulted in the watertight doors of the bridge pontoons getting removed, combined with a big storm that hit the area that Thanksgiving weekend, which proceeded to fill those open pontoons with rain and lake water.

Provided no one repeats that particular bit of idiocy (opening up the pontoons), the bridge is unlikely to sink a second time.

For details on the bridge sinking, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacey_V._Murrow_Memorial_Bridge#1990_disaster.

And with regards to pulling a Steve Jobs, the podcast Behind the bastards does a good job of explaining why his own ego and stupidity was the reason he he died form one of curable forms of cancer. As well as exposing his other shitty behaviours.

• Part one: The terrible secret of Steve Jobs
• Part two: The terrible secret of Steve Jobs
• Part three: The terrible secret of Steve Jobs
• Part four: The terrible secret of Steve Jobs

And why is UK so dependent on gas? Because Margaret Thatcher ruined a well run public infrastructure for short term gain and made producing electricity from gas the most viable option for making money fast because who cares about long term stability? And also, who cares about ordinary people gets worse outcome out of privatization as long as rich people can get richer?

Tom Nicholas has an excellent video about this, How energy privatization is bankrupting Britain

To the point that the official energy production dropped 10% year over year recently (because people install their own, independent solar panels).

This was mentioned by author Bill McKibben in a podcast episode of Why is this happening?

And who is to blame for that?

Of course it is the anti-science, anti-public health republicans.

So you want to appear to be very rational, right? And you want people to believe that you argue in good faith, right?

Well, are you able to form a sound and formally valid argument that contains the phrase "no one has changed the measles vaccine requirement in 2025" and a corresponding conclusion?

Has RFK, jr actually spewed out TONS of misinformation and antivaxx propaganda? Yes, he did(1).

If you do not see any problem with the current administration I can only see three possible reasons, either you

• are extremely ignorant
• do not care because you (incorrectly) think it does not affect you (negatively)
• are chearing on because you think they are hurting the right people

Which is it?
