same way we can map the origin of the human species to west africa: identifying unqiue dna sequences of local areas and correlating the data (e.g. if they’ve found a certain dna sequence in all humans that they’ve also found on bones from 100,000 years ago in west africa, then that could suggest all humans originated from west africa at least 100,000 years ago)

i had never heard Robert pronounced “ro-bert” until just now in my head thanks to this obscure meme

Both Trump and the Libertarian Party try and brand themselves as an alternative to the status-quo, in the hopes of attracting dissatisfied voters angry at the growing cost of living, the current war, and the immiseration of everyday life for working-class people.

my hot take on the booing is that it was staged to splash the libertarian brand across all major media sites to scoop up these very votes the article is talking about; at such a crucial time before the election, we’re seeing Biden fail to inspire the masses—and, frankly, his age—and Trump continuously failing as a the successful, antiestablishment businessman he convinced many he was in 2016. isn’t the alt-right’s strategy for this election to sway votes away from Biden; no consideration for where they land, left or right, just as long as Biden doesn’t land them?

not a politician, a public service employee; a politician’s staffer.

a politician is an elected member of parliament or a senator.

what a dumb comment. Volt Typhoon have been discovered in critical infrastructure—not universities—across the world using lotl techniques. they are a group not hacking for espionage but hacking to directly sabotage their targets… i.e. shutting down electricity grids, telecommunications, water, etc.

also, they are not “PRC-sponsored”, they are the PRC, more specifically the PLA.

read up on Volt Typhoon and then tell me you want western countries outfitted with PRC infrastructure

[Villeneuve] said last December that “Dune Messiah” is “being written right now,”

all that’s waiting is for WB to give the greenlight, really. given all the praise and the very likely box office success, it’s almost a certainty

it’s Mugler and it’s iconic

I think it’s all but confirmed Messiah will happen
