This is a very long, but very interesting video. The sort of thing you might put on in the evening along with a nice toasted stout as you settle in to fill in your end-of-the-month finance tracking spreadsheet:



It discusses the topic of death-by-videogame*, as well as some of the various conspiracy theories surrounding the "maybe it's a urban legend, maybe it was an experimental government mind-control device" arcade game Polybius.

* = Spoiler alert: playing Defender for 36 straight hours while chugging sugary, caffeinated beverages the whole time can, if you have a pre-existing heart condition, contribute to death.

Durham probe: FBI offered Christopher Steele $1 million to corroborate Trump allegations in dossier

The FBI offered ex-British intelligence agent Christopher Steele $1 million to corroborate salacious allegations made in his dossier against former President Donald Trump and members of his 2016 campaign, but he was unable to do so, an FBI official testified Tuesday....

....
Auten also said that the FBI had no corroboration of allegations in the dossier but nevertheless took that information and inserted it into the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to surveil former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.

"On October 21, 2016 [the date of the Carter Page FISA application], did you have any information to corroborate that information?" Durham asked.

"No," Auten said, confirming that the FBI began receiving Steele’s reports, later known as the dossier, on Sept. 19, 2016, and submitted its first FISA application on Page on Oct. 21, 2016.

Remember when the appeal in college to being a Democrat was that they were anti-war, anti-racism, anti-big business, anti-big pharm, and they challenged and exposed the corrupt doings of the DOJ and government officials?

Yes.

If I had a time machine, and I could only use it once, I'd love to take it to Berkeley and bring a bunch of present-day liberal activists back to meet their grandparents as they march in opposition of censorship, segregation, and big government.

How likely is it that those older activists are the same ones advocating (or possibly teaching at Berkeley today) vaccine mandates, the alphabet genders, defund the police, etc. and also Vote Blue No Matter Who?

a) not likely
b) somewhat likely
c) very likely
d) Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer were those activists (whether or not they went to Berkeley is irrelevant)
