@Lobster When psychological manipulation is amplified through carefully orchestrated propaganda in order to achieve goals defined by the cold hard calculus of power and greed then it becomes obvious that someone has realized it is an exacting science.
But, alas, this is just my humble opinion based on observation.
Mathematical science shows what is. It is the language of unseen relations between things. But to use and apply that language, we must be able fully to appreciate, to feel, to seize the unseen, the unconscious.

Hello everybody,
I'm a bit lost here, coming from "traditional" social platforms. I have no idea how this works and to top it all I'm also too shy to enter people's conversations.
So let me introduce myself: I'm a Romanian artist, I paint in oil and acrylic. I am also a voracious reader, always on the lookout for new books. I enjoy most of all historical ones - fiction and non fiction, classic literature is my comfort food, yet I'll not refuse a good mystery or thriller.
The supposed "Christians" who preach hate against the poor, who preach bigotry against the sick and the mentally ill, and work to make the world a poorer and sicker place, are precisely the opposite of Jesus and what Jesus stood for.
For those of us in California I’d really like to see Katie Porter be the candidate, but things are really shitty right now because two Republicans have the largest poll numbers.
We can’t allow pro fascist tech politicians to gain the governorship. And I’m willing to bet my beans that Katie Porter is the only one out there with enough votes to have a chance for that.
I haven't been on social media lately because I've been trying to preserve mental health, and joy.
I've been messing with my plants and crocheting. I even made a beanie that can fit with my hair!
@DrALJONES What could possibly have caused Iran to be suspicious of the US's motives?
Virginia voters approve a plan to temporarily redraw the Commonwealth's 11 congressional districts ahead of November's midterm elections. https://www.wtvr.com/news/virginia-politics/congressional-redistricting-constitutional-amendment-april-21-2026
Another stellar day of losses for Donald Trump!
But when Trump loses, democracy wins!

"A war that he justified as “preventing Iran from becoming nuclear” is now mainly an effort to reopen a shipping corridor that was wide open before he launched the war."
Or, as Mohamad Safa posted:
. @senduckworth @senatordurbin @daniel.biss @ltgovstratton you rep me/will rep me. Let’s get the Ice Out of Our Faces bill passed. The 1st and 4th Amendments and due process demand that no federal agent ever capture or analyze our faces just because they feel like it. Make it stop.

Honestly, this guy sat on my chest for five minutes and purred after I got home for work and it gave me the will to live for another day.

Palantir has issued a far-right, racist manifesto denouncing "dysfunctional" & "regressive" cultures & critticising "attempts to hound wealthy figures out of public life by scrutinising their behaviour."
It also called for "the expansion of AI weaponry."
Palantir shares fell immediately.
Palantir "has accelerated Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza", & yet the British govt has granted it access to the NHS.

Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
