The concept of TDS is weaponised psychology. It gives license for T to do and say the most demoralising shit; and if your moral compass is still intact and responds appropriately, they label *you* as deranged, ridiculing you in your (healthy) emotional reaction. It's emotional and moral abuse.

There should be 3 lines for the top 25%,50% and 75% or similar to see how each level is going
genuinely when you're online arguing that the graphs say the economy is good actually, what do you expect people to say? what is the end result you're hoping for? for everyone to stop complaining about their personal starvation, evictions and medical debt because a line is going up somewhere?

So on #facebook for Android in the comments section I'll often see under a comment a line eg. "4 replies". I tap on that line and it disappears instead of showing me the 4 replies.
Does that mean the original poster has deleted the 4 replies?

The big gas and oil companies have been having it their way for too long. We are calling for a 25% tax on gas exports. This would have raised $17.1 billion in the 2023-2024 financial year. Enough to build 50,000 new homes.

Listening to Bannon is one of the most direct ways to understand what is going on in the US. He is both on the inside and talks openly about it. Trump 2.0 isn't just a step change, it is a continuous march breaking barriers to a globally dominant authoritarian state.

He goes: we all burn fossil fuels after all.
Classic blame shifting away from companies. Blaming people for existing in a world they want to change.

@theshot.net.au I think you could have a segment where you ask each panelist what nonsense or fake issue they are ignoring this week.
I think there would be some surprises as you don't always know the background as to why something is not really the major issue it is claimed to be.

Wow, WFH is still saving 800,000 barrels of oil per day just in the US.
barely anything on climate / emissions (not unusual for these fuel-specific reports which seem to exist in their own closed off world) so won't bother sharing detail but this did stand out

The Trump administration is weighing requiring all foreign students applying to study in the United States to undergo social media vetting. 🤨
Trump team pauses new student visa interviews as it weighs expanding social media vetting
It’s the latest salvo against universities, many of whom rely heavily on foreign students for funds.
