Outraged by Jan 6, he spent two years getting inside the top ranks of militias like the Oath Keepers. He was stunningly successful. He penetrated a new generation of militia leaders, which included doctors, cops & government attorneys.

This is his story. www.propublica.org/article/ap3-...

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends....

🧵 Let's talk about silver tarnish a bit and why silver tarnishes, and how you can prevent it (to the best of your ability), and how to clean it. Since our brand's main line is sterling, we often hear, "How do I keep it from tarnishing?" 1/

AI data centers are multiplying across the U.S. and sucking up huge amounts of power.

New evidence shows they may also be distorting the normal flow of electricity for millions of Americans
AI Needs So Much Power, It’s Making Yours Worse
There’s a strong link between proximity to AI data centers and higher levels of distorted power in residential areas

Undocumented immigrants paid $7 Billion in taxes last year.

Nearly all immigrants who are in the U.S. without permanent legal status pay social security payroll taxes without claiming benefits.

But sure, let’s mass deport them, then complain about SS viability.

The mystique of the super-rich melts away as soon as you realize money acquisition is just their particular nerd monofocus. I spent a decade collecting comics. They spend lifetimes collecting cash.
my armchair psychological diagnosis is that the drive to accumulate as much wealth as possible eats away at the drive for self-improvement or the internal desire to cultivate any skills or tastes. these people build huge mounds of treasure and then essentially just sit around looking at it, empty.
find it genuinely delighting that people with enough money to never work again (and do literally anything they want anywhere in the world at any time) seemingly have nothing going on in their lives and are so miserable they are just spending the holidays frantically posting

Great name!

I am a fan of the Happy Jack's Role-playing game podcast.

My in-laws live in Cheyenne Wyoming and there is actually an "Happy Jack's Road" west of town. I should have a picture of it around somewhere.
