Hello, do you know something about the temperament of the Greenland dogs comparated for example to other nordic/primitive breeds like Siberian Husky or Alaskan Malamute? I can't find much about them online. They are so extreme and work-driven as many told and cannot be only pets?
Well it would highly depend on what your definition of "pet" is. If your idea of a pet dog is a dog you can take on occasional walks and relax easily inside with, trainable and friendly, easy to take places, than the Greenland is likely not the best choice, if not a very bad one. If your definition of pet includes working the dog in harness on a regular basis, allowing them to live outside if they desire and have multiple dogs, then they could be a good pet.
For me personally, I could probably handle one after having a dog like Slash, but do I want to? Absolutely not. I enjoy the easier going, more chill nature of the Malamute for me personally and that's saying something considering that while Slash is a good house dog, he is only a good house dog because he is given work year round in some capacity.
I have only met a few Greenland Dogs in person, one was at the time young and ran with my dog's parents in a sled team, very tireless, but affectionate. And the other was a retired elder dog who could not retire to being a house pet her entire life and often found it stressful being away from the working team, even if she herself was not working.
Remember, these are primitive sled dogs and are less removed from their origins than many other sledding breeds. The modern Siberian Husky, Alaskan Malamute, Samoyed and even the Alaskan Husky have their origins in the 20th century and have their temperaments highly selected for. A Greenland dog is the same as it has been for centuries and centuries, vastly unchanged due to its isolation from westernized dog breeds and kennel clubs until very recently. A majority of Greenland dogs still live in Greenland (the country has very strict import and export laws for domestic animals and dogs in particular to protect the breed) where they are working dogs. A majority of Greenland dogs outside of Greenland are also working dogs.
As far as temperament goes the Greenland Dog FCI standard states:
The predominant temperamental qualities of the Greenland Dog are energy, mental strength and boldness. He is a passionate and tireless sledge dog. To people - also strangers - he is friendly, and while acting as sledge dog not closely attached to any particular person and therefore not suitable as a guard dog. On hunting seal and polar bear he will show a strong hunting instinct."
The Nordisk Kennel Union says this:
The Greenland Dog is a true unaffected natural dog with all that this entail. Therefore, this breed is only suitable as a family dog for people, who have great canine experience and who understand the special needs and distinctive character of this dog. In the right environment, this dog is energetic, mentally robust, vigilant and generally kind towards adults and children. It is an overall curious dog with a distinct pack mentality. This breed greatly demands allowance to use its immense power on running and pulling heavy loads. It needs a good social life and the pack is of great value to these dogs. This breed enjoys living outdoors. 
They are often said to be amongst the most intense of the sled breeds, more driven to work than Malamutes, more energetic, more prey driven, more more more and more.
The Alaskan Malamute Illustrated Standard says this about temperament for Malamutes (so imagine this + MORE ENERGY):
The Alaskan Malamute is an affectionate, friendly dog, not a “one man” dog. He is a loyal, devoted companion, playful upon invitation, but generally impressive by his dignity after maturity. The Malamute is a true pack animal with the natural instinct to “lead or be led.” This results in an independent, self-confident and strong willed personality, and explains why Malamutes can sometimes be aggressive with other dogs of the same sex. While historically guardians of campsites and Eskimo children, the Malamute is not the type of guard dog that sees a threat in eye contact or the approach of strangers. Dogs who react negatively towards people do not typify correct Malamute temperament and any sign of aggression towards humans is unacceptable.
There are many great Greenland dog mushers (both in Greenland, Scandinavia and even the UK) that are present on Instagram if you have an account and want to learn a bit more about these dogs (note that some of them outside of Greenland also mush Alaskan Malamutes, this is pretty common as the breeds work well together). Here are some ones that I like:
Dodgesled Taxi (Sisimiut, Greenland)
Arctic Living Ilulissat (Ilulissat, Greenland)
Siku Tours (Uummannaq, Greenland)
Ukioq Soul (Åre, Sweden)
Suna-Sanik Kennel (Norway)
Kennel Tasermiut (Norway)
Ikihallan Greenland Dogs (Rovaniemi, Finland)
Infury Sled Dogs (UK)
Greenland Dog Adventures (Sisimiut, Greenland)
And here are some videos I like about Greenland Dogs:
Greenland Way of Life: Raising Dogs
The Insiders Guide: Dogsledding in Greenland
And finally, an article about how these dogs and Inuit are at the forefront of being affected by climate change (even my half house pet/half working pet malamutes are uncomfortable when my house is heated in winter btw...):
In Greenland village, shorter winters cast doubts over dog sledding

Even as missiles fall on Ukraine and troops brace for a Russian spring offensive from the east, Kyiv is looking west. The U.S. congressional fight over aid to Ukraine, entangled as it is with border policy and presidential politics, has become a matter of survival for 43 million Ukrainians. In more than two years of war, Russian President Vladimir Putin has not broken Ukrainian will. Abandonment by the United States could achieve what Putin never has.
This month, I made a 1300-mile trip around Ukraine as part of a delegation hosted by the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). We visited Kyiv and Odesa as well as Dnipro, Kharkiv, and other places farther east. The situation on the ground is changing, and U.S. political leaders should understand the enormous stakes. Those now debating the fate of assistance to Ukraine are deliberating over the fate of Ukraine itself.
The first thing that strikes a visitor to wartime in Ukraine is how remarkably normal life seems in many areas. Normal, that is, until the signs of war creep in—gradually and then suddenly.
Odesa’s elegantly beautiful theater remains open, and operas and shows go on. (Giuseppe Verdi’s Nabucco and Franco Alfano and Giacomo Puccini’s Turandot played a few days after our visit.) Yet the city was under an air alert as we arrived, and a walk along the seaside promenade revealed coiled barbed wire at each staircase.
In a mostly unheralded success, Ukraine has cleared the Black Sea coast of Russian warships—despite having a tiny navy with no warships of its own—and now exports grain from Odesa at near prewar levels. Ships load grain and skirt the coast as they head west, staying away from Russian predation. Outside the city, soldiers man roadside checkpoints to examine the papers of draft-age men.
In a town that we visited in Kherson Oblast, which suffered under Russian occupation until late 2022, virtually every building was damaged. Missile strikes, mortar fire, and machine guns took a serious toll. Many inhabitants fled the fighting, joining either the 6.5 million Ukrainian refugees outside the country or the 3.7 million displaced inside it. UNHCR and other aid agencies are assisting those who remained and others who have returned. Some never will.
We met one man in the town who stayed through it all. “It’s like you see on TV in America,” he said. “You know when there’s a hurricane and someone says, ‘It’s my home, I’m not leaving?’ That was me.”
The biggest problem, he said, were soldiers from the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, the puppet governments set up in the regions by Moscow. Often drunk, the soldiers looted houses, hassled people, and carted home everything they could. A local official said that Russian troops had established multiple torture centers during the occupation.
The man’s son, a tall 15-year-old with a grin and the taciturn bearing of a teenage boy, described life before and after the Russians came. Did he miss the way things were before the war? Yes, he said: “Some of my acquaintances have passed away.”
Downtown Dnipro could pass for Vancouver or Boston, with its illuminated streets, pedestrian areas, fine restaurants, and high-end boutiques. Couples dine, families stroll at night, and the stores are stocked. Yet the war wasn’t far away during our visit; an air alert awakened us early in the morning. As our phone alerts went off and air raid sirens sounded, we headed to the shelter. Russia launched more than 60 drones and missiles at Ukraine that day, some of which made it to Kyiv. The attack set a large apartment building on fire in the capital and killed four people. Two days later, we would visit this site, where the rebuilding had already begun.
Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, has emerged as an epicenter of recent Russian military activity. Most students there are relegated to online learning, since their schools lack the shelters necessary to protect against air attacks. More than 2,000 children go to class underground in subway stations. We visited one of these subway schools, watching fourth graders solve math problems and work on projects. Play areas took up space at the backs of classrooms. I wish members of the U.S. Congress could see the effects of Russia’s two-year war on the country and witness Ukrainian resilience in the face of relentless attack.
Ukrainians are resilient but not invincible. They see bombed-out buildings, awaken to air alert sirens each night, and feel Moscow’s newfound confidence on the battlefield. They know that last year’s counteroffensive produced few gains, and that Avdiivka’s recent fall marks Russia’s first significant territorial gain since May 2023. Diminishing supplies of ammunition and other Western-provided weapons have made the war more difficult and more costly in terms of Ukrainian lives.
Yet most wish to fight on. Polls show a small but growing number of Ukrainians wishing to trade land for peace, if such an outcome is possible. The majority wish to continue the fight. They watched Putin’s interview with Tucker Carlson and saw the Russian president’s insistence on their country’s historic artificiality. They know, from the atrocities that have occurred in Bucha and elsewhere, what Russian occupation might mean. They see the war as a fight for survival.
Ukrainians also know, however, that they cannot keep it up alone. They quietly observe that European aid (generous though it is) won’t be sufficient, either. In Kyiv, officials follow every twist and turn of the $60 billion earmarked for Ukraine in a proposed supplemental aid package from the United States. It’s a large amount of money, equivalent to roughly 7 percent of the U.S. Defense Department’s annual budget, and combines military, humanitarian, and budget support. Ukraine’s future turns greatly on it.
U.S. missile defense currently protects Ukrainian cities, and officials worry about the violence that Russia will unleash if U.S. interceptors stop arriving. Front-line Ukrainian troops are running out of ammunition, and declining access to military equipment could allow Russia to take more territory. Even factoring in the latest European aid package, Ukrainian officials (and those at the U.S. Treasury Department) project empty government coffers within months, rendering them unable to pay worker salaries or pensions. Their fallback plan is to print more money, fully understanding the disastrous hyperinflation such a move would produce.
In the meantime, U.S. humanitarian aid provides food, shelter, medical care, and other support for a traumatized population that nevertheless wishes to carry on.
Beyond material support, my visit made clear that the psychological effect of global solidarity, especially from the United States, remains vital. In conversations with everyone, from the top of government to citizens living just miles from the front lines, there was one message: Please stay with us—we can’t do this alone. U.S. abandonment would be devastating.
There is a lot of trouble in the world today, some of it far closer to home for Washington than places such as Dnipro, Kharkiv, and Kherson. A poll conducted in February by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and Ipsos found that a majority of Americans continue to support helping Ukraine, as do majorities in both houses of Congress. Yet two years in, and after billions of aid has already been delivered, Americans might reasonably ask why more, and why now.
Calls to defend the rules-based international order tend to provoke eye-rolling derision these days. So too do descriptions of the United States’ indispensability in the face of global problems. Yet the prohibition against forcible conquest stands at the heart of the postwar global order. Putin’s violation of that taboo—if ultimately successful—would augur a new and more dangerous era. The United States, unfashionable though it may be to observe, is indispensable in resisting it.
Ultimately, Ukraine is fighting a shift from order to the law of the jungle, where the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must. In a world awash with trouble, and with huge demands on U.S. resources, the stakes in Ukraine remain very high—and perhaps unique. The alternative to continued Western support is not an indefinite stalemate or frozen conflict. It is a potential Russian victory.
This is the context in which today’s debate should take place. It’s clear on the ground: Ukrainian will to resist aggression is remarkable, but it remains inextricably linked to U.S. support and solidarity. If the United States abandons Ukraine, then the West may well accomplish the very thing that Putin has thus far found impossible.

Tumblr media
It's been a while since last world overview. I have these pictures taken in July. It's the world called Teldrassil, it was made by SandraKB. It's based on capital city of night elves in World of Warcraft. Thanks to Bietjie who helped me find it on discord, cause I had that world many years ago in game, but forgot the name.
The world isn't much developed. Many buildings stays empty or almost empty - some have fridge, beds, armature and kitchen appliances. Some lots have dining table, bars, various decorations, but it's lightly furnished.
The tree trunk is really interesting in structure. I have never seen anything like that, and I think it was executed well. Texture is glittering from map view, probably because wrong filter was choosed while recoloring and exporting texture.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
One of island has buildings, something like garden gazebo or something like that. It contains large basement with bathroom but not anything really beside that. Other island is empty and has only trees, so no picture of that.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Main island has many big lots in the middle, like a fields or something. Most build-up lots are closer to edge, mainly in town area, or in village in opposite edge of the giant trunk.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
But enought for sterile showing and talking, here's view closer to the ground, landscapes of the island.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gates to the town. It's a public restroom.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Custom leafy texture on fields of empty lots. It's a bit glitchy from map view too, but not that much as tree trunk texture.
Tumblr media
Now upto other buildings:
Tumblr media
Lot shaped like a giant tree. It's regular public lot, but has a bar inside.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Another lot, mainly for chilling:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lot shaped like a bear is bellow. It's apparently a projection of some building existing in World Of Warcraft. I'm not really familiar, cause I don't play. I don't like online games and subscription system, but I'm fascinated by aestetics and lore. It really reminds me of Heroes 5.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The main city, all in white in blue. It's really splendid, reminds me of some Greece towns in real life.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Some paths along the water:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The last building which looks like Japanese Tori contains canteen and swimming pool. But I hit limit of 30 pictures in post, so the second part of this overview will be linked down bellow, when I send post.

Huge Update
XO25_reworkFor_NSP
Goal: Rework Northstar Prime Titan to sound and behave more like Mihaly and the XO25f from Ace Combat 7
Tasks
1.Change offensive ability from Cluster Rocket to Multi-Target Rocket Core.
2. Create two new skins for NSP. Draw color palett inspo from XO25 Erusian fighters from AC7.
Skin 1 will be sleek and and clean. Mostly black with white and orange accents.
Skin 2 will be more weathered and beat up
3. Fix voiceline Mod
4. Change hud look to resemble AC7 hud. Main changes will include - changes to missile lock crosshairs - changes to taget acquisition crosshairs. Square = titan/vehicles. Octagon = pilot/grunt - change color scheme to green/red depending on situation - add elevation meter, maybe even double hover height, just for fun. kinda broken but whatever.
Lessons learned so far.
T1. Changing the offensive ability is actually really easy. all you have to do is go to /scripts/weapons/wpn_name and swap "shoulder" for "dumbfire" between the two files. While simple, bear in mind that the game will crash if player has not deselected both "Enhanced Payload" - Northstar "Multi-Target Rocket Core" - Monarch
from their Titan Kit. Having either ability selected will cause a crash on Titan spawn.
T2. Getting models into blender and editing them is simple enough through either the VPK tool or Legion+, however the real trick right now is getting them back into the game files in an edited/acceptable state. T3. I learned that nearly all audio for the voiceline mod (especially the viocelines) needs to be on Channel 2, otherwise called stereo. this mean that when you're looking at your audio file in whatever program you're using, there should be two audio waves right on top of each other that are identical. You must almost make sure that there is no meta data in the file, and that it's exported at 48K hz otherwise the game will not play the sound correctly.
Another note, it does not matter what you name the audio file so long as it goes into the proper folder, although giving it a similar name does help with organization.
T4. Changing the crosshair is probably the easiest thing to do in the game files. They're always in weapon .txt files and always at the very bottom. Also, there are plenty of lists online that have all the crosshair names so you don't even have to guess which ones are which or go sleuthing through the game files. I was able to change the mutli-lock crosshair to the smart-pistol reticle easy enough but struggled in getting the target- acquisition marker to show up even though it's coded into the multi-lock file. Weird, I know.
NEXT STEPS:
T1. Figure out whether or not it will be easier to add an entirely new titan via copy/pasting asssets and changing the names, or if I should change all existing assets for the game to XO25. In my brain the latter would be the easiest as there's some background stuff I won't have to change in order for the game to still function properly. However…
T2. My guess is that the easiest way to go about changing the skins is to edit the base model titan and then replace the existing model with my own. That way the edited version is the default skin in-game. However…
T3. I do not know why the mod isn't working anymore. Changing the vpk files shouldn't have affected it at all. I must figure out what's causing the issue. I've boiled it down to three guesses. 1. It's my computer, it just doesnt like or doesn't want to cooperate. 2. There's something actually wrong with the mod, i.e. it's not using the right dependency or something 3. somehow. palpatine returned.
T4. Changing crosshairs is very easy, thankfully. Getting crosshairs to behave is somehow another task entirely since I don't fully understand the games language/structure yet. For this, I need to get a hold of the Ace Combat game files and to be honest I haven't even begun to look into that yet. Hopefully it won't be too much of a hassle to import the assest into the game since they've both been out forever. I'd also like to take this time to stop myself before I add another task onto my already full plate. However…

My first attempt at making GIFs EVER
Okay so. I've been wanting to try to learn to make GIFs for a very long time. Luckily for me, this fandom is full of nice people that will make tutorials. So, I followed @scoobydoodean's Tutorial on how to make GIFs in DaVinci Resolve. Of course, I wanted to make Ree GIFs, so here we are. Thank you!!!
It took me like an hour but uh. I think I did it LMAO With some issues:
I had downloaded all of s9, but unfortunately it seems the program doesn't like those files. So, I found a crappier version of s9e01 and went with that, which the program read
It seems my Powershell doesn't like the commands... So, I tried exporting my work as GIFs directly from DaVinci Resolve
It seems my GIF files are too big for Tumblr. So, I tried to reduce them online (Listen, I'm trying my best here)
Here are the results <3 (Bear in mind these are literally my first try ever. I've never ever tried to make GIFs before.)

Day of the Mushroom
The Day of the Mushroom celebration is celebrated on April 16 and honors all things fungi. The fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, which can grow anywhere above ground, on soil, or its food source, is known as a mushroom. The white button mushroom, which is grown, is the standard fungus to be called a mushroom. Therefore, fungi with a stem, cap, and gills on the underside of their cap are those to which the term “mushroom” is most frequently applied. The name “mushroom” is also relevant to describing the fleshy fruiting bodies of other Ascomycota because it is used to describe a range of different gilled fungi that may or may not have a stem.
History of Day of the Mushroom
Since they first appeared in early European communities, it is generally assumed that people have been gathering mushrooms since the beginning of time, possibly even in prehistoric times. Truffles and other types of mushrooms were prized in classical Greece and Rome. American author Cynthia Bertelsen claims in her book “Mushroom: A Global History” that both well-known historical authors, Pliny the Elder and Aristotle, wrote about fungus. She also claims that the Roman philosopher Galen wrote several paragraphs on the collection of wild mushrooms. Cynthia Bertelsen goes on to add that it is likely that China and Japan were the first places to cultivate mushrooms as early as 600 A.D.
But it took time for Americans to accept and become accustomed to mushrooms. In the cookbook “The Virginia Housewife,” mushrooms are mentioned for the first time in America (1824). Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup, a classic American staple for casserole recipes, was created in the 1930s. Bertelsen adds that there may be archaeological proof of the spiritual usage of mushrooms as early as 10000 B.C. There is proof that various cultures, including the Ancient Greeks, the Mayans, the Chinese, and the Vikings, among many others, used hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Humans now consume edible mushrooms regularly, which has greatly boosted the agricultural and agro-economic development of the areas where they are grown. Around half of all farmed edible mushrooms are produced in China, which also accounts for six pounds of yearly mushroom consumption per person among the world’s 1.4 billion inhabitants. With an estimated 194,000 tonnes of yearly edible mushroom exports, Poland was the leading exporter of mushrooms in 2014.

Project 03 - growth
So over the last week I wanted to do something involving animation. I was inspired by the stop motion workshop to do a stop motion with the teddy bears & then i thought to explore different types of animation too.
Here was my finalised storyboard/plan of everything that I wanted to include in it however I did remove some parts after starting the process.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The first part of the animation I planned to do a rotoscope with @k00283533 as the model. To make the background work easier I thought to keep it green and then green screen the background later, however if I were to do this again I would not do that bc it was tedious af and provided a much lower quality result
I first converted the video of nikola into a gif, imported it to procreate and started my rotoscope process. This was the first time I ever did something like.. animation-y so it was pretty exciting. The experience made me realise just how rough animators have it because it took so incredibly long to finish one scene of her walking that I decided to scrap the second part I had planned.
Tumblr media
An obstacle I had was exporting it as a gif, though I exported my animation with max resolution it was still at a much lower quality than when I played it in the app. I tried different ways to keep the quality at least somewhat satisfactory but I couldn't find anything online to fix the problem. I concluded that it was just gif files doing their thing, so to combat this I ended up just screen recording the animation as I played it in the app (and... it worked) (surprisingly)
This is the lower quality gif export version of the rotoscope part
Tumblr media
At this point I realised I made a huge mistake by putting green as the background, I used the app VN Editor & it's chromakey function to remove the green but with the low quality gif it just did not work as I wanted it to. I had no way to remove the background HOWEVER thankfully when I screen recorded it the chroma key worked at least somewhat better than before, and I managed to adjust the spill to take out as much green as possible
I then did my background & took my print from before into the animation & 'digitised' it to make it more cohesive with the entire thing but I didn't really know how to adjust the lighting/filters to make all the separate parts fit. I explored filters, graphs and gradient maps but since it was my first time doing it I definitely struggled, I feel like if I did more animation projects in the future I would get more experience but overall I did have fun trying this out!
For the next part of this animation I will be doing a stop motion to showcase the teddy bear living through the stages of growth in a young child, which I'm looking forward too since its my first time doing this type of stop motion (as the only experience I had was with sand in the stop motion workshop!)

America Is Exporting Hate To The World
Tumblr media
Where did social media originate? Yes, the United States of America. Although, that should read the disunited states of America. Through social media America is exporting hate to the world. Its own special homegrown kind of hate and division. We are having discussions about banning social media for our kids because of the damage it is doing to them. If we were smart we would ban it per se for everybody. Spend a few minutes considering the pros and cons of this Internet borne home of gossip and misinformation.
Social Media Is The American Medium Of Hate
Yes, there have been instances of important information during natural disasters being disseminated via Facebook. Up against this are numerous examples of downright lies being spread by both malign and misinformed actors in a wide variety of circumstances. The platforms have been reluctant to fact check and police content. During the recent global pandemic we witnessed gross violations of policies in this regard for political purposes resulting in banning’s of account holders by Twitter and Facebook. Freedom of speech is given as reason enough for these folk to be able to do such stuff on social media. Elon Musk bought Twitter and turned it into X, apparently for this very reason.

Hate Speech Free To Spread Lies & Disinformation
Now, we have rampant disinformation and hate speech  enjoying an unchecked express ride on X. Social media is opinion masquerading as news, in many instances. The digital medium itself lends weight to gossip and unsubstantiated stuff. Algorithms favour click bait content designed to outrage viewers over factuality. Fake news is spread by both haters and manipulators. Most viewers have no idea of the source of the tweet, post, or video and whether it is genuine or a bot. The recently exposed Russian funding of alt-right pro Trump videos is testament to this. Americans will do anything for money. The Russian state wants a Putin loving Trump back in the White House, as kleptocrats flock together for exponentially more grift and graft. What Is Social Media American Style? What is social media? Ostensibly, a platform like Facebook was based on the school yearbook prevalent in American schools. It contained photos and information about individuals in that class and year, as a record for posterity. Digitally morph that into Facebook and it became a way to find friends online and map lives for general comment. Generations of us have come along in the 21C looking into screens, as some electronic mirror/ record of our existence. This largely unregulated space provides proof of life without the perquisite standards of factuality demanded by the old paper records kept by the state. Computers are essentially about record keeping and filing. Social media is full of fake identities and unreal digital records of lives.

Photo by Nikita Belokhonov on Pexels.com No Identity Checks Necessary Yuval Harari makes a cogent point when he emphasises that the blatant proliferation of fake human identities online are incredibly damaging to our societies. He suggests that we make it a serious crime to counterfeit human identities, as we do for counterfeiting money. The fraudulent behaviour widely occurring across social media and other digital mediums sees scams costing tens of billions of dollars annually. Our banks wont guarantee the safety of our funds anymore, as they have moved out of the security business and into the transactional convenience game. They take a cut or a fee from every movement of currency, whether it be by you or a scammer. If you or I are fooled into transferring large amounts of our money into a fraudulent account, more fool us and the financial institution will not bear any responsibility. Unverified Free For All For Frauds If you read stuff online and don’t bother checking it for its veracity, well that says something about who you are. If you don’t bother tracing the source of the material and don’t understand that everyone has an agenda, well the truth of the matter may well allude you. Social media is a free for all, where the actual identities of correspondents are hidden. You might be following a bot, a machine. You may well be arguing with a non-human entity. The algorithms are designed to get us all riled up, so that we stay on the platform. Americans engineered social media and have been fine tuning it ever since. There is no definitive agreement on who was first in this space. “When did social media start gaining momentum? The early 2000s witnessed an exponential rise in the usage of these platforms. SixDegrees’ revolutionary model was the catalyst, setting the stage for the advent of giants like Facebook and X.” - (https://sciencepod.net/when-was-social-media-invented/) Billions of people use social media globally and it has generated some positive outcomes but like all things it is on a continuum. Back in its home, America, the negatives are clearly outweighing what positives remain. Kids growing into adults with their noses stuck in their phone screens and developing a crick in their necks from constantly looking down. Lives without meaning unless they are posted online with digital facsimiles posing as happiness. Cyber bullying preying upon teenagers and young adults. Sex and pornography blurring into the same thing in the minds of many of the generations infected by the compulsion to interact with social media. Peer group pressure feeds the social media disease. Our modern cultures  are defined by these devices and their software. Our brains are being manipulated by the constant use and engagement with social media. We don’t have the data yet to see what the longer term ramifications of this will be.
Tumblr media
Trump The Social Media President Donald Trump became the ‘social media President’. His posts on Twitter and later Truth Social became a direct conduit between President and the American people. The fact that Trump is a compulsive liar and arch manipulator of misinformation makes him the perfect ambassador for this fraudulent communication network. Giving the allusion of cutting through the bullshit via this medium has served Trump well. His narrative of being an anti-politician and a champion of the people has fitted in well with the laconic confines of X and Truth Social formats. Trump’s messaging via social media is far more effective politically than his rambling incoherent rally speeches. Lying online is easier because body language largely cannot give you away. Although, Trump must be considered one of the greatest liars ever in American history. The Amplification Of Lies & Gossip America is exporting hate to the world through its invention and marketing of social media. Big Tech in the US is largely unregulated and has grown into a trillion dollar behemoth. Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and the many other manifestations of it have the ability to control our thinking. We use their devices unceasingly and the software they hold engages with us 24/7. Social media is all about group think in its ability to influence users and sections of our societies to vote certain ways. Why do you think the Russians, Chinese and Iranians have been hell bent on sewing discord and division in the American political sphere. Democracy appears to have a vulnerability here, especially for those viewing it from authoritarian states. Brexit was directly influenced by Russian meddling in the social media arena around that vote. Hillary Clinton was defeated by Trump in the 2016 presidential race and again Russian influence was identified in the social media space by the FBI. The polarization vehemently present in the US is spreading across the globe via social media. You can see it in Britain and Europe and in Australia. Sections of populations being siloed in their views about increasingly emotive topics like the Israel Hamas conflict. Politicians on the right and left drumming up support on the back of their stances on issues like this. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has been coopted by political groups for their own benefit. The centre has, seemingly, been deserted for extremist positions on either side of this. The way social media works, as a networking tool, has to be a big part of why this is occurring globally. It could be the existential danger of our time that we are not seeing, joining climate change as one of the four apocalyptic horsemen.
Tumblr media
Media Must Be Regulated Media has long been recognised over the years as requiring regulation. The unfettered reign of social media is an anomaly. The printing press ramped up civil unrest, hate and violence for centuries following its invention in the 15C. It is estimated that a third of Europe’s population died in the resulting wars and conflicts. “German goldsmith Johannes Gutenberg is credited with inventing the printing press around 1436, although he was far from the first to automate the book-printing process. Woodblock printing in China dates back to the 9th century and Korean bookmakers were printing with moveable metal type a century before Gutenberg.” - (https://www.history.com/news/printing-press-renaissance) Thus, we can see that information technology is no benign thing. Governments brought in strict laws around who could own and operate newspapers, radio and TV networks. Various laws in different countries defined what could be printed, broadcast, and disseminated. In America, they got around the freedom of speech laws in the Constitution by making everything top secret at the source. Government agencies declared documents sealed under national security laws heading off any debate about freedom of speech. This is one of the reasons why Americans are so god damned suspicious and paranoid about conspiracies because they have so much information denied to them. Land of the free is a load of poppycock really. Social media gives them free access to a veritable sewer full of fictions, exaggerations, lies, and distortions. Nothing is top secret on X, Facebook, Tik Tok or Truth Social, as there is never anything worth hiding there.

Photo by Pranavsinh suratia on Pexels.com Billionaires & Social Media Elon Musk is a billionaire running a social media platform and this is dangerous thing. Musk has around 200 million followers on X himself. Zuckerberg is another billionaire with both Facebook and Instagram at his disposal for influencing hundreds of millions of people. The old media is in its death throws, with newspapers and broadcast TV shrinking in influence rapidly. The Rupert Murdochs’ are a dying species despite the loudness of Fox News and Sky News Australia. Rabid right wing diatribes fill their air waves with no journalism to be found only opinion. American hate is more than hot air and is something that international governments would do well to recognise before it is too late.  Before their citizens are infected beyond redemption. American political violence is the natural progression of that hate and segregated polarization. Seeing fellow and sister human beings as ‘the other’ rather than having a shared universal identity is a forerunner to violence. The oligarchs have got so big, so wealthy, that governments are pitiful in comparison in many instances. Tax cuts for corporations and the super wealthy have seen their incomes treble of late since the Trump tax cuts of 2017. Competition from sectors has disappeared and these rentier oligarchies extract billions from endless fees, subscriptions and charges. Big Tech has seen countless mergers and acquisitions resulting in giant multinationals minimising their taxation in boltholes like Ireland. Super Pacs define the political space in the US with the top 1% of the wealthy spending billions on electing politicians and parties. The American people have been shunted to the back of the bus and are treated like third class citizens in determining who runs the country. Democracy has been bought off by the super wealthy. 333 million people and just a tiny percentage get to call the shots and determine policy. Of course they are going to look after their own interests to the detriment of ordinary working Americans. It seems like many Americans are like children in that they are happily distracted by the circus and the BS of Trump. Hating immigrants, hating coloured folk, hating LGBTQI people, hating non-Christians, and hating women who don’t kiss ass as a matter of course.

Photo by Markus Winkler on Pexels.com Through social media America is exporting hate to the world. It is an American invention and it is still being refined according to their social engineering skills. We have embraced it via our love of technology. We love our smart phones and they are connected to social media network platforms. Many of us live in big cities and deal with loneliness in these modern urban settings. Some of us keep the home fires burning by our engagement with social media. Trolling or being trolled online. Stoking hate as a consolation for the omission of love in our lives, perhaps. Somehow we have lost the ability to interact in the flesh and have a good natured debate. The anonymity of online forums appeals to many to vent and say stuff we wouldn’t have the guts to say in person. The public good has shrunk and we have seen the rise of an overwhelming concern for self-aggrandisement. People bang on about civil rights but rarely mention civil duties.  The Americanisation of the world continues apace. Perhaps, the iPhone should have come with a warning about this.

Trump pledges sweeping tariffs, says they will keep jobs in US - Notice Important Online https://www.merchant-business.com/trump-pledges-sweeping-tariffs-says-they-will-keep-jobs-in-us/?feed_id=211918&_unique_id=66f41c1f1681c #GLOBAL - BLOGGER BLOGGER SAVANNAH, Ga. — Donald Trump on Tuesday pledged to stop U.S. businesses from shipping jobs overseas and to take other countries’ jobs and factories by relying heavily on sweeping tariffs to boost auto manufacturing — despite warnings that domestic consumers would pay more and a lack of specifics about how his plans would work.“I want German car companies to become American car companies. I want them to build their plants here,” Trump declared during a speech in Savannah, Georgia.Trump added that, if elected, he’d put a 100% tariff on every car imported from Mexico and that the only way to avoid those charges would be for an automaker to build the cars in the U.S.His ideas, if enacted, could cause a huge upheaval in the American auto industry. Many automakers now build smaller, lower-priced vehicles in Mexico — facilitated by a trade agreement Trump negotiated while president — or in other countries because their profit margins are slim. The lower labor costs help the companies make money on those vehicles.German and other foreign automakers already have extensive manufacturing operations in the U.S., and many now build more vehicles here than they send. BMW, for instance, has an 8 million-square-foot campus in South Carolina that employs 11,000 people building more than 1,500 SUVs per day for the U.S. and 120 export markets. Mercedes and Volkswagen also have large factories here.If German automakers were to increase production here, they likely would have to take it from factories in Germany, which then would run below their capacity and be less efficient, said Sam Abuelsamid, principal research analyst for Guidehouse Insights.“It makes no sense,” he said.Trump proposes ‘new American industrialism’ — without specificsTrump has proposed using tariffs on imports and other measures to boost American industry — even as economists have cautioned that U.S. consumers would bear the costs of tariffs and other Trump proposals like staging the largest deportation operation in U.S. history.The former president laid out a broad array of economic proposals during a speech in the key swing state of Georgia, promising to create a special ambassador to help lure foreign manufacturers to the U.S. and further entice them by offering access to federal land.Additionally, he called for lowering the U.S. corporate tax rate from 21% to 15%, but only for companies that produce in the U.S. Harris, the Democratic nominee, wants to raise the corporate tax rate to 28%. It had been 35% when Trump became president in 2017, and he later signed legislation lowering it.“We’re putting America first,” Trump said. “This new American industrialism will create millions and millions of jobs.”Trump also suggested wiping away some environmental regulations to boost energy production, saying America has “got the oil, it’s got the gas. We have everything. The only thing we don’t have is smart people leading our country.”Tuesday’s series of economic proposals raised a lot of questions, but the former president hasn’t given specific answers on his ideas, which could substantially affect their impact and how much they cost. He has not specified, for example, whether his U.S.-focused corporate tax cuts would apply to companies that assemble their products domestically out of imports.Trump also suggested he would use a newly created envoy, and his own personal efforts, to recruit foreign companies. But he had a spotty record in the White House of attracting foreign investment. In one infamous case, Trump promised a $10 billion investment by Taiwan-based electronics giant Foxconn in Wisconsin, creating potentially 13,000 new jobs, that the company never delivered.His calls to offer federal land, meanwhile, might clash with Bureau of Land Management restrictions on foreign entities looking to lease lands.
It also wasn’t clear whether companies from China would be excluded, given Trump’s longtime accusations that China is hurting American business.“SAVANNAH, Ga. — Donald Trump on Tuesday pledged to stop U.S. businesses from shipping jobs overseas and to take other countries’ jobs and factories by relying heavily on sweeping tariffs to…”Source Link: https://www.voanews.com/a/trump-pledges-sweeping-tariffs-says-they-will-keep-jobs-in-us/7798426.html http://109.70.148.72/~merchant29/6network/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/pexels-photo-4624563.jpeg SAVANNAH, Ga. —  Donald Trump on Tuesday pledged to stop U.S. businesses from shipping jobs overseas and to take other countries’ jobs and factories by relying heavily on sweeping tariffs to boost auto manufacturing — despite warnings that domestic consumers would pay more and a lack of specifics about how his plans would work. “I … Read More
