In the USA, many people believe crude oil comes from dinosaurs, while others dismiss this as another government lie, like faked moon landings or hidden history rtc. Both are, of course, wrong. The whole dino myth started with a marketing campaign by Sinclair Oil, as shown in this TV commercial.

I rushed this website out on April 9, and rushing to get it done led to a number of shortcomings in the design of the front-end that I've spent the last couple of weeks working on, at the cost of not delivering content. I've now finished that work, and will add new content soon.

Just back from my first holiday to China. Quiet time to visit. 1) EVs everywhere, Tesla visibly swamped 2) Influencers rule all, even rural farmers do direct sales online 3) Facial recognition is ubiquitous, feels like it could spread to West 4) Parallel internet really limits understanding of China

Science does not work like this. The only way you can set a timeline is if you have rigged the results in advance.

Hot damn, Steven Horsford just set fire to Trump's U.S. Trade Representative Jameison Greer over Trump's idiotic and costly tariff play.

WARNER: Can you explain how it helps natl security or our trade balance - I loved your fancy Greek formula which was bad math on steroids - how with a trade surplus Australia got hit with a 10% tariff as well? GREER: Australia has the lowest rate available WARNER: We have a trade surplus!

Pundits are - in vain - looking to economics and politics when trying to explain Trump's behavior. But, in reality, the central place to look if we want to understand Trump and his policies is this: The psychology of dominance. 🧵(1/5)

The US has now the least qualified economic policy making in the developed world. An ignorant and seemingly dement leader has not evolved beyond the 1890s. He accepts no facts or economic realities & nobody can impose any truth on him. The US is in a terrible disaster.

US Envoys arrived today and are pleading with our leaders to refrain from imposing retaliatory tariffs. We initially denied their pleas until their ambassador returned wearing a suit and thanked us for existing.

Since tariffs, I noticed a surprising trend: elite Trump supporters saying they might have made a mistake. So I asked them what they were thinking, both in November and today. One big takeaway: they thought Elon was actually competent. That error proved catastrophic. www.vox.com/on-the-right...

Just the most startling collapse in basic intellectual standards. He literally campaigned on tariffs you mad obsolete bastard. You didn't need to deploy any sophisticated political analysis, just listen with your human ears.
