They’re so used to creating pseudo-events to provide more material for the distorted frames of their bullshit machine. They are not used to these dynamics being turned against them.

One of the most important things you can do today is your science. Knowing calculus/physics/genetics/chemistry etc. makes you rare and the world will need you to rebuild tomorrow. Practice your skills and pass them on. Keep the flame alive. 💚🌱🧪
