Melbourne, Australia. Quantum electrodynamics of awareness.
My strategy to solve "the hard problem":
1. Find the locations of conscious experience information.
2. Understand the QED at such locations.
Then the physics of human awareness will be understood.

This is just a test to see if I can upload a video to Bluesky.
I've never uploaded a video to any social site before.
Several mpeg4 formats don't work.
But apparently this webm format does work.

Alongside declining polls for Reform, the good news about the Telegraph’s volte face on Brexit is that it gives Labour political cover from the far right to reapply to rejoin the EU. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/the...

We've now got The Telegraph joining the Brexit resistance, after the formerly pro-leave paper ripped into its 'near-disastrous' consequences.

ISW: "It is notable that the Kremlin’s misrepresentation of the situation on the ground was so far from reality that a prominent pro-war Russian blogger felt compelled to issue his own corrective statement."

To deal with the uncertainty of the trade war, Chinese companies’ best bet in the coming year will be to continue to diversify away from exporting to America and to focus on other markets, notably South-East Asia
Tariff uncertainty is throwing Chinese manufacturing into chaos
Donald Trump’s tariff chaos is likely to persist in 2026. Meanwhile, trade between China and other Asian countries will continue to grow

Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?

TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.

Not a John Bolton fan at all but if he’s right, it’s worth paying attention. He says Trump’s grip on the GOP is starting to slip. When the loyalists start noticing the cracks, you know something’s shifting.

7am a report is produced and distributed around the Danish government. The move comes after Danish intelligence documented a large-scale operation based in the White House and headed by JD Vance, whose objective is to facilitate the invasion, occupation and annexation of Greenland by the US.

I don’t remember having lobster when I was on the International Space Station! But I guess I never spent a Thanksgiving there either. I know it’s not easy to be away from family, so Happy Thanksgiving to everyone aboard.

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?

The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.

But I won't back down — and neither should you.

Good video of the moment drone sanctions were applied to the VNIIR plant in Cheboksary, Chuvashia Republic.

This plant produces electronics for use in missiles such as guidance, flight control, and navigation systems.

It also produces bright light and heat when sanctioned.😎🔥
