Example, Apple CEO, Tim Cook appears to care about certain social and civic issues, but only within the constraint that Apple’s economic power and strategic freedom must not be meaningfully reduced; thus, the “good publicity” is real - based on the devices & bits about climate & LGBTQ rights, but tightly integrated into the profit machine - Tim definitely deserves some gold knee pads. #tariffs #apple #meme #tech #democracy #business #democracy #business

There is no evidence that vitamin A prevents or cures measles. Vitamin A supplementation can help reduce complications and mortality in children with measles, especially those with vitamin A deficiency, but it does not prevent infection or spread of the disease. The measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine remains the only effective method to prevent measles. #meme #science #health #doge #trump

https://www.newscientist.com/article/2449629-hackers-can-turn-your-smartphone-into-an-eavesdropping-device/ Hackers can eavesdrop on conversations by using radar to detect tiny vibrations in smartphones and Al to accurately transcribe them. The trick even works in noisy rooms as the radar homes in on the phone's movement and isn’t affected by background hubbub. #technology #privacy #hacking #phone #ai #science

Anatomy of a Conspiracy Theory and a Smear: Still No Evidence of Trump Order for 10,000 Guard on J6. Ornato's testimony only says he heard the DC mayor asked for 350 Guard. There’s no record of them being deployed. If J6 wasn’t a coup or it was a deep state plot, the Guard deployment shouldn’t be worth another round of con-theories https://www.justsecurity.org/93316/anatomy-of-a-conspiracy-theory-and-a-smear-still-no-evidence-of-trump-order-for-10000-guard-on-january-6th/ #politics #News
