PJ Media ^ | 06/18/2024 | Stephen Green
You've read more than once right here at PJ Media about the $7.5 billion that Presidentish Joe Biden's Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act put on the table as an inducement to build a network of 500,000 EV charging stations up and down the nation's interstate highways. And you've read about how few have been built — eight, at last count.Well, that was a bargain compared to today's boondoggle. The same law also set aside $42.45 billion — that's three Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers — to deploy high-speed internet to millions of Americans who currently lack access. That mostly means rural...

Euronews ^ | 10/06/2024 | David Mouriquand
Gen Z want Hot Rodent Men - and they are being very vocal about it. What does it mean? How does one qualify? And how is being compared to a rodent a compliment? “Dad Bod”... “Babygirl”... “Short King”... The internet loves to label, often in mildly baffling ways, and a new term has been going viral lately: “Hot Rodent Men”. Apparently, anyone who falls into that category is the most desirable thing to be right now. So, what does this unusual compliment mean and should we be worried? Here’s the lowdown. What is a Hot Rodent Man? A “Hot Rodent...
 

Internet Panics After Hearing Leaked Audio From The ISS They Were Not Supposed To Hear...As oopsies go, this was a big one.

The Internet was briefly sent into a panic yesterday, after a NASA audio feed from the International SpacStation (ISS) was accidentally "misrouted" to a public feed. The ISS broadcasts its view live, including footage from cameras inside and outside the station. At time of writing, you can even watch astronauts conducting a live space walk. While very cool, mishaps with the feed can happen, as evidenced on Wednesday when the public heard audio that sounded particularly concerning. In the audio, which was assumed to be ground control communicating with the ISS, you can hear a doctor advising on a medical...

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr on Friday wrote that President Joe Biden has not connected one American with high-speed internet with $42.5 billion in funding from the so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill. “In 2021, the Biden Administration got $42.45 billion from Congress to deploy high-speed Internet to millions of Americans. Years later, it has not connected even 1 person with those funds. In fact, it now says that no construction projects will even start until 2025 at earliest,” the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) commissioner wrote.

The owner wants a 'grown and sexy atmosphere.'Florissant, Missouri, population 51, 506, is a mid-American idyll, founded in the 18th century by French traders, who originally named it Fleurissant (loosely translated as “blooming”), for the amazing fecundity of the alluvial soil in the Mississippi River valley. Over the last 280 years it has slowly been transformed into an internal suburb of that other, larger French frontier trading post, St. Louis. But the old town of Florissant has retained much of its character and today enjoys a tidy, settled affluence. Hoping to tap into that market, in May 2024 enterprising restaurateur...
 

Analysis: New internet privacy group would undermine pro-life movement

Catholic Vote ^ | June 11, 2024 | staff
CV NEWS FEED // Critics say a bipartisan online privacy bill currently being debated by federal lawmakers would undermine the efforts of pro-life groups and pregnancy resource centers (PRCs) if enacted. Observers have pointed out that the American Privacy Rights Act (APRA) places an undue burden on the pro-life movement in the name of protecting children online. Federal lawmakers are reportedly reading and considering a memo, distributed by members of the House Freedom Caucus, that outlines the threats to unborn life in the bill. The memo states that the “APRA’s broad definition of a ‘covered entity’ … includes non-profit organizations,...
 

Remote Amazon tribe finally connects to internet — only to wind up hooked on porn, social media

New York Post ^ | June 4, 2024 | Andrew Court
A reclusive tribe in the Amazon finally got hooked up to the internet, thanks to Elon Musk — only to be torn apart by social media and pornography addiction, elders complain. Brazil’s 2,000-member Marubo tribe has been left bitterly divided by the arrival of the Tesla founder’s Starlink service nine months ago, which connected the remote rainforest community along the Ituí River to the web for the first time. “When it arrived, everyone was happy,” Tsainama Marubo, 73, told The New York Times. “But now, things have gotten worse. Young people have gotten lazy because of the internet, they’re learning...

You have surely heard that your search results on Google (with 92 percent share of the search market) reflect not your curiosities and needs but someone or something else’s views on what you need to know. That’s hardly a secret. And on Facebook, you are likely inundated by links to official sources to correct any errors you might carry in your head, as well as links to corrections to posts as made by any number of fact-checking organizations. You have likely also heard of YouTube videos being taken down, apps deleted from stores, and accounts being canceled across a variety...
 

We Are Being Warned That Nanobots Will Be Flowing Through Our Bodies “By 2030” And Will Be Used To Connect Our Brains To The Internet

End of The American Dream ^ | 5/16/24 | Michael Snyder
nce thousands of nanobots are zipping around inside your body, will you still be in control of your mind, will and emotions or will the nanobots be running the show? According to Google, a nanobot is “a hypothetical, very small, self-propelled machine, especially one that has some degree of autonomy and can reproduce”. Scientists here in the United States have been working on nanobots that can travel through our bodies at astonishing speeds, deliver medicines to targeted locations, and even enter our brain cells. Eventually, researchers hope to use nanobots to connect our brains directly to the Internet. I realize...
 

Why the internet is comparing the Met Gala to 'The Hunger Games'

Mashable ^ | May 7, 2024 | Meera Navlakha
--snip-- The Met Gala drew comparisons to The Hunger Games quickly online on Sunday. As social media flooded with reactions to the spectacle of the red carpet, others were acutely aware of the scenes unravelling outside the prestige of the gala. Just about a mile away from the Met, hundreds of pro-Palestine activists demonstrated in protest of the war, with many blocked from entering the gala itself. And miles away, Israeli armed forces carried out an assault on the city of Rafah, resulting in dozens of casualties and injuries. Simultaneously, the student movement across college campuses in the U.S. has...

Revolver ^ | May 9, 2024 | Darren Beattie
Revolver’s very own Darren Beattie, who’s made waves with his investigative deep dives into the January 6 “Fedsurrection,” is at it again. He’s just unleashed another bombshell. This time, he’s shining a spotlight on a J6 character who’s been lurking in the shadows. Meet Donell Harvin, the latest Trump-hating Deep Stater who conveniently pulled a “Miss Cleo” and “predicted” the entire J6 pipe bomb scenario way before it actually unfolded. That seems a bit fantastical, right? It makes you wonder: is the government running psychic hotlines these days, or is something far more sinister at play? Probably the latter. Thankfully,...

So on Thursday Newsom was again roasted online when he announced that California is getting its own $1 coin to honor innovation in the state and asked the internet for submissions. He was already going to invite some choice responses from that simple invitation, then he made it worse by beginning his tweet with, "Calling all members of the Tortured Coin Designers Department," a reference to Taylor Swift's new album, "The Tortured Poets Department."
 

Roseanne Barr Breaks Internet, Trolls Biden with ‘Rape’ Accusation

The Daily Fetched ^ | 24 April 2024 | Jason Walsh
Comedian Roseanne Barr sent X into a meltdown after she mocked Joe Biden by levying a fictitious accusation similar to those made by E. Jean Carroll against Donald Trump. In a video, Barr dramatically claimed that Biden assaulted her decades ago in a department store. Barr, who acts distressed in the video, recounts her “experience” in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room – a parody of Carroll’s allegations against Trump.

If there are alien civilizations out there close enough to pick up our stray signals, there's a non-zero chance that amongst the first transmissions, they could receive the opening of the 1936 Olympic Games, meaning our first contact with another species (in the unlikely event that they picked them up) could include a speech by Adolf Hitler. "This wasn't the first broadcast, of course," senior SETI astronomer Seth Shostak explained to RealClearScience. "But it was at a high frequency that might make it through the ionosphere." In the film Contact, this ended up being the first message humanity received from...

@elonmusk Our concern is that if ANY country is allowed to censor content for ALL countries, which is what the Australian “eSafety Commissar” is demanding, then what is to stop any country from controlling the entire Internet? We have already censored the content in question for Australia, pending legal appeal, and it is stored only on servers in the USA.
 

Larry Sanger Speaks Out - The Wikipedia co-founder discusses Katherine Maher and the corruption of the Internet.

City Journal ^ | 18 Apr, 2024 | Christopher F. Rufo
Larry Sanger remembers the promise of the web. He co-founded Wikipedia in 2001, with the hope that it could sustain a “free and open” Internet—a place where information, dissent, and creativity could thrive. At Wikipedia, he proposed a system of rules that encouraged users to “avoid bias” and maintain a “neutral point of view.” That Internet is gone. I reached out to Sanger following the revelation, from my original reporting, that former Wikimedia Foundation CEO Katherine Maher, who is now CEO of NPR, had explicitly rejected the principles of a “free and open” Internet, collaborated with government officials to censor...
