Study the work of the masters, and learn. Misinformation? Disinformation? Propaganda has been around for a long time. Hitler and his Reich Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels took it very seriously - you can use their guidelines to easily spot modern examples. www.physics.smu.edu/pseudo/Propa...

In case you were wondering, although if you still own a Tesla perhaps your judgement is a little flawed anyway: yes, your car is spying on you. Where do you suppose all that data goes? www.wired.com/video/watch/...

Measles now in NJ and Kentucky www.chfs.ky.gov/News/Documen... www.nj.gov/health/cd/to... The original cases were apparently from international travel, but once others are exposed, it spreads easily.

1/ I think it is important to know where the density of Federal employment is highest. It is laid out pretty well in this academic paper I published last month. Any guesses what state and county has the highest density of Federal employees? jrap.scholasticahq.com/article/1278...

It's worse than you think. Measles is one of the most contagious viruses known: among unvaccinated people, 90 percent of those exposed will be infected. Oh, and among older people, it can cause a fatal nervous system disease and wipe out immunity to other infections arstechnica.com/health/2025/...

WARNING: "Measles is very contagious. It spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. You can get measles just by being in a room where a person with measles has been. This can happen even up to 2 hours after that person has left."https://www.cdc.gov/measles/about/index.html

Rich boys and their toys, part 2. Elon buys a $1 million McLaren capable of a top speed of 240 mph (see part 1). What could possibly go wrong? Clearly Elon takes the Silicon Valley catch phrase "move fast and break things" very much to heart. www.thedrive.com/news/32191/d...

Rich boys and their toys, part 1. When Elon sold his first company Zip2 to Compaq in 1999 he netted about $22 million. What to spend it on? How about a 240-mph McLaren F1 for a cool $1 million. Here he is taking delivery. What a slick dude! www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3tl...

Social Security systems in 1955. Serving millions of Americans, and really complicated. According to the booklet, "the equipment and procedures in use at the end of 1955 had changed very little from those first put in place in the Candler Building in the Fall of 1936." www.ssa.gov/history/ssa/...

Follow the money, honey Or put another way, cui bono? Why is Elon so interested in the detailed financial records of say, NASA? Well, he and his businesses have enjoyed an estimated $15.4 billion in government contracts over the last decade. He's on the hunt for more. fortune.com/2025/02/06/e...
