I don't know anything about Kentucky except the fact they invented KFC.

Kentucky elects total scumbags. The kind of politicians that attack scientists, take bribes, cut taxes on the super-rich. Surveys show Kentucky love Trump. So I assume that Kentucky must be really bad place full of evil people.

I generally judge a place by the kind of politicians that they elect.

Wyoming is the most pro-Trump state in the US. I would never go there. I think the majority of them are very backward and violent people.

Maine elected Bernie Sanders. He is an honest man. So I really like Maine.

 

In May 2025, Department of Energy (“DOE”) Secretary Chris Wright executed a policy memorandum titled “Ensuring Responsibility for Financial Assistance” that, among other things, established a Portfolio Review Process (PRP).

With one exception, the 284 terminated grants had a recipient location and/or at least one place of performance in a state that awarded its electoral votes to Kamala Harris in the 2024 election and has two Democratic-caucusing Senators (“Blue State” grants)

DOE accepts that the inclusion of grants in the October notice tranche was based solely on the political identity of the grant recipient’s state, i.e., whether the recipient’s location and/or place of performance was in a Blue State or a non-Blue State.

Does anyone actually believe that?

Why does Google sponsor Gnome, KDE, GIMP, LibreOffice, Open Street Maps?

This is very suspicious

in my mind, enormous societal progress that lots of people now get their news from other ordinary people on websites/apps (“social media”)

Yeah. About that....

In France, there is a powerful left-wing politician named Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

He was senator for decades. He was previously a minister. He has run for President multiple times. People close him describe him as a political beast.

On october 3th 2023, the newspaper Le Monde published an absolutely astonishing investigation into his girlfriend. They reveal that his girlfriend SCREAMS and HUMILIATES ordinary people. And he knows that.

3 days later, on october 6th 2023, Melenchon took a trip to Morocco.

Believing he was far away for any camera, he made a cynical confession to moroccan university students:

"I really don't care what newspapers reveal. The vast majority of voters don't read newspapers. They watch online videos"

"We are now in the great era of social media"

Elon Musk regularly attacks the New York Times.

On social media, he urges people to not read it.

That's because the New York Times has published incredible stories about him.

Elon Musk knowingly lied about the safety of self-driving vehicles. Multiple people were killed

When powerful politicians and businessmen tell you "don't read newspapers", they aren't trying to give you good life advice.

It's a manipulation attempt.
