  • If AIPAC gets a special ban, then different groups with their own least favorite will ask why we aren’t banning that one, and billionaire owned media will say the DNC supports that.

    The only logical solution that doesn’t waste a shit ton of time and effort, is to blanket ban all of them at once.

    They don’t have infinite time and energy waste on shit. The more individual ones moving, the slower the one that abns everyone moves…

    So the dnc released all the information on what was banned to actually help people check if they actually banned pacs and dark money?

    The votes that just happened were at the committee level…

    After that it goes to all voting members.

    Expect a statement after that vote.

    The DNC has released nothing about either, because they never do until after the full vote.

    Like, I think your confusion is you think the DNC was making any announcements about this stuff, when it was just the billionaire owned media from CNN to Faux News all “independently” releasing the same stories almost verbatim within minutes of each other.

    Can you honestly not see how this is a hot job against the DMC because the people who control the media no longer control the DNC?













  • If your first reaction to this sort of thing is “I did this and I’m fine”,

    “This sort of thing” meaning:

    The absolute limit for humans to survive

    It’s obviously not the absolute limit, because loads of people survive it every day.

    An operating steam engine room is not the harshest environment on the planet.

    Next time you don’t understand something, try asking questions instead of getting belligerent about it tho.

    When people do explain shit, it’s usually as a final reply before blocking.

    Then who’s going to answer your inevitable follow up questions?




  • DNC Chair Ken Martin touted a resolution passed on April 9 that condemns the “corrosive influence” of dark money on Democratic primaries but does not single out AIPAC or any other specific interest group.

    “We had various resolutions that focused on different industries and groups, and instead of going one-by-one, we passed a blanket repudiation,” Martin said on social media, adding that he supports an end to dark money in politics.

    Instead of just banning AIPAC by name, they’re going after all the PACs.

    For those of you who just started paying attention to politics, AIPAC isnt Israel’s first attempt. The last one had to register as a foreign agent, and AIPAC showed up immediately to replace it’s predecessor.

    Ban just AIPAC, and a PAC that’s exactly the same but with a new name shows up and does the same shit.

    I understand why billionaire owned media pretends to not understand that, but it’s very depressing that voters seem incapable of realizing it unless a millionaire paid by a billionaire tells them


  • The absolute limit for humans to survive had been assumed to be a six-hour exposure to a wet bulb temperature of 35C (95F)—a measure that accounts for temperature and humidity but has rarely been observed on the planet at that level.

    I don’t know who was making that assumption, but they obviously never went into a steam engine room before…

    Like, obviously it’s terrible for you and you can’t do any physical activity, but I was 6 hours on, six hours off, in 110-120 wet bulb.

    But when scientists applied a new model of human survivability that takes into account the body’s ability to function and stay cool depending on age, they found all six events had seen nonsurvivable periods for older people who could not find shade.

    Fucking obviously the elderly are going to handle this worse, they handle everything worse.

    Maybe there’s decent science somewhere, but this article is garbage
