A team of German neuroscientists from the Humboldt University of Berlin spent several weeks hanging out with rodents in a small room filled with boxes. They were playing human-vs-rodent hide-and-seek and found out the animals were surprisingly adept at the cross-cultural childhood game. They weren’t even given treats as a reward, rather, they were given attention in the form of friendly petting and tickles.

In preparation for the inaguartion of President Joseph Biden. Facebook has set out on a mass campaign of silencing dissenters.
China style.
Yeah we all know about the big accounts like President Donald Trump and his minions. But facebook has also now coming against outspoken members on its platform. Specifically prominent atheists. Yes I am one of them. Admins from fellow Atheist groups have reported similar issues.
Imagine my shock when I fired up my facebook account to be greeted with the messages below.
The stranglehold that these companies exert over our discourse is so dominant that their censorship amounts to effective suppression of the reporting.
Whatever that is, it is not democratic or something to cheer.

Politicians are getting smart and are starting to use Twitch as a fund raising source.
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and the leader of the New Canadian Democratic Party Jagmeet Singh Raised over $185,000 for Hungry Kids and Rent Eviction Relief while streaming a video game (Among Us) on Twitch. She had initially planned to stream for 2 hours but ended up streaming for a total of 6 hours. We have all heard of youtube streamers making insane amounts of money playing video games online. In order to this you have to be able to keep people entertained. AOC did not disappoint!
I have been saying this to myself since her first stream a few weeks ago (before the elections), Why doesn't she do this more often? Can you think of a more effective fund raising method as a politician? As an added benefit this is another way to connect with her constituents. Seriously It's a no brainer. And if we bring grandpa Bernis on the stream we can easily get one million people online. You guys should do it and test out the Twitch infrastructure.
Then my next headline would be "AOC and Bernie Breaks Twitch!"
