"This isn’t at all unusual either. Every time they are working on a hit piece, they contact the target, explain a few of the accusations against you, then offer you “the chance to tell your side of the story”. But they don’t print anything you say that will offer a reasonable justification or a convincing defense, they just quote-mine the interview in order to support their narrative.

"At best, they don’t run anything at all and you might as well have turned down the interview. At worst, you say something they can take out of context that looks even worse than anything they had already, something that will permit you to be deplatformed, debanked, de-employed, and further discredited.

"Which underlines why you never, ever, talk to the media about yourself, your opinions, your accomplishments, or your friends and family. And just to address the spergs and pedants, I will add that if you’re not particularly controversial, sending out corporate press releases to industry-specific publications are probably fine."

My children used to love eating dinosaur nuggets. They were so disappointed to learn that dinosaurs are now extinct.

Eventually, of course, the kids figured it out. “Dad! These aren’t made of REAL dinosaur. They’re CHICKEN!”

I replied, “Why, yes, dinosaur DOES taste just like chicken, because chickens are descended from dinosaurs.

“Enjoy the real thing while you can.”

A big Fields & Energy bonus post is coming tomorrow morning: The Right-Hand Rule for Radiation: Electromagnetic Radiation Made Simple.

I’ll discuss how I came up with the concept, how it can be used to understand the exponential decay of a dipole, and why the physics of this example defies conventional kinked-field-line and point-charge-emits-point-photon thinking.

"Washington pledged 31 Abrams tanks to Ukraine in January last year. The first batch arrived in September. They finally appeared to make their combat debut in February this year, with the first video footage released on the 25th of Februray. On the 26th, the Russians scored their first Abrams kill.

"Two months after entering service, the Abrams tanks are now being withdrawn from the frontline. Five of the 31 tanks delivered last year have already been destroyed.

🇨🇭 Switzerland has a direct democracy

🇨🇦 Why does Canada not have a direct democracy?

“Switzerland will hold a vote (referendum) on measures to limit immigration to stop its population from rising from 8 million to 10 million before 2050, after enough signatures were deposited on Wednesday.
Under the Swiss system of direct democracy, citizens can initiate popular votes by collecting 100,000 valid signatures within 18 months.
The hard-right Swiss People’s Party submitted 114,600 signatures to the Federal Office in Bern on Wednesday – collected in half the time.
“Mass immigration continues its course with devastating consequences for our small country. Expressing concerns over “mass immigration”.

⭐️ The SVP emphasizes the need to safeguard Switzerland’s unique landscape, quality of life, and prosperity for future generations. This is a true democracy when borders are protected.
