Lockheed's Compact Fusion reactor went dark because it's 2000x more efficient at magnetic confinement. They're probably using them on submarines and carriers, not just these hypersonic orbs. "Magnetic bottle" lmao these assholes. Checkmate, Lockheed Martin.

@LockheedMartin Use the pressure of the ocean itself to contain the plasma. The earlier days it was all naval research. It doesn’t jump to usaf until the mid 50’s.

What we see as an 'orb' is plasma being confined by a magnetic field. These are aneutronic fusion reactors. Aneutronic (radiation free) fusion prevents destruction of the reactor and the charged particles can be used for propulsion. The lines are dark because it's the exhaust from these reactors is xrays beyond the thermal spectrum. The reactors are small, consistent with a high beta concept with a radius of a couple meters.

Reece Martin (Reece Martin) explains the subculture of "foamers." "They call them foamers because they're foaming at the mouth. These 12-year-old kids go out and film buses. They're the kind of people who are really into public transit. It's a surprisingly large internet subculture." "There's just so much for these people to analyze. Toronto gets a new bus delivered, and they'll notice it's painted like 2% different red. The rims on that bus, those are chrome. We're doing chrome rims now."

Nearly two years ago, I reported on how I'd helped my Mum get off 8 painkillers a day because of her arthritis using a device called the "Primer Cube Magnetic Array". A PrimerCube is an open-source device designed to generate strong rotating magnetic fields based on the research of David LaPoint AND RELEASED IN 2019. These devices often use a bowl-shaped array of neodymium magnets mounted on a motor to create specific magnetic field geometries. Magnetic Plasma Control: According to La Point, these bowls create magnetic fields that control plasma, showing that formations in the plasma exist regardless of electrical input, with electricity only acting to reveal them. A friend of mine, Rachel Russell, took it upon herself to manufacture these magnetic wonders and in this video entitled "Say Goodby to Pain Forever?" I meet a bunch of amazing people from around the world to share their stories of how this device has not only eliminated pain, but also been used to: - save and extend a dogs life and cut vet bills - enhance seeds for growing food and yield - massive increases in Bovis Levels (Life Force Energy) - hugely improved SLEEP patterns and quality - improved dreams - improved thyroid function - reduced inflammation - improved skin appearance - parasite reduction - lengthened telemeres - reduced UTIs - improvements in sciatica - improvements in breast-feeding NONE OF THIS IS MEDICAL ADVICE, NOR ARE ANY OF THESE STORIES MEDICAL CLAIMS, MERELY ANECDOTES.

Their job is to make people feel that alarmed harassed and distressed that they hand over their details and pay a £100 fine. It's illegal for them to be using fines to children but they're not only fining kids they're threatening kids that try to intervene The more fines these 2 issue the more they get paid, they're not on a hourly rate, they deliberately target our most vulnerable, children and the elderly, there's no wonder people don't come to town no more if it's not these it's gas companys or charities wanting your details

Researchers at Tokamak Energy have captured for the first time a real-time, high-speed video of plasma behaviour inside their ST40 spherical tokamak, tracking visible green and red light emissions as the fusion process occurs. This visual insight comes via a camera operating at thousands of frames per second, offering unprecedented detail of how the plasma evolves, interacts with the surrounding lithium blanket and outer regions, and ultimately radiates energy. The imaging enables scientists to observe how the ultra-hot core transitions outward into cooler zones, how magnetic confinement shapes the plasma behaviour, and how impurities or outer-region interactions influence the process. By giving a ‘star-in-a-donut’ view of fusion in action, this breakthrough adds a new diagnostic tool to the development of fusion energy, helping engineers refine the magnetic confinement, optimise plasma stability and better understand the heat and light flows at play. It was slowed down by 100x. All this was for 0.3s A tokamak is one of the most advanced devices ever created to achieve controlled nuclear fusion, the same process that powers the Sun. Its goal is simple in principle but incredibly challenging in practice: heat a gas until it becomes plasma, raise that plasma to over 100 million degrees, and confine it long enough for hydrogen nuclei to fuse and release energy. Because no material container can survive such temperatures, a tokamak uses powerful magnetic fields to hold and shape the plasma like an invisible cage. The device has a distinctive doughnut-shaped (toroidal) chamber surrounded by magnetic coils. When the machine is switched on, electric currents and external magnets work together to create helical magnetic fields that trap the plasma and keep it away from the walls. As the plasma spirals around these magnetic lines, it heats up dramatically. Additional heating comes from methods like radio-frequency waves and neutral-beam injection, pushing the plasma toward the extreme temperatures needed for fusion. Inside this tightly controlled environment, hydrogen isotopes such as deuterium and tritium can collide and fuse, releasing fast neutrons and a burst of energy. The goal of tokamak research is to reach a point where the fusion reactions produce more energy than the system consumes, a milestone known as “net energy gain.” Modern machines like ITER, JET, and Tokamak Energy’s ST40 are bringing this vision closer, using advanced diagnostics, superconducting magnets, and increasingly stable plasma control. 👉

Let's just look at the policy itself and stay out of the emotional aspect of it. Number one, these people do not live in the city. They do not burden the city with anything because they're obviously out-of-towners. They spend $5 million plus dollars, so that means jobs, union jobs, construction jobs, then after their unit is built, that they're not in so not using any of the city's services. They pay taxes and maintenance jobs to maintain the buildings. You want more of these people. You want thousands more of them that don't live here, pay taxes, pay maintenance, create jobs, create jobs in construction, and don't use the city services.

Chicago is controlled by Democrats at every level...These are Democrat policies in operation that are resulting in the mass slaughter of civilians in Chicago." "Here's another important point. You can go to conservative Republican communities where everyone owns a gun, everyone's a private firearm owner, no murders, no homicides, no violence whatsoever." "Every single one of these Chicago gangbangers is using these guns illegally. Because they're using them to commit crimes. They're using them to further criminal conspiracies. They are using them to deal drugs. You could lock up every single one of these gang bankers. How do I know it? Because President Trump is doing that right here in Washington, D.C." - Stephen Miller

Tucker Carlson: “The Collapse of the Legacy Media Will Be One of the HAPPIEST Days of My Life” “Most of them know exactly what they're doing, and they deserve to be PUNISHED for it through unemployment.” “They're done.” Is legacy media the place to go for breaking news? No, social media does it better. How about analysis or entertainment? “Well, they're not entertaining. They're preachy and screechy and just absolutely awful,” says Tucker. “And their analysis is stale.” “I just couldn't have more contempt [for legacy media]. And it's the contempt bred from familiarity. It's not like I'm guessing at this. I spent my life with these people ... and I just despise them. I have no respect at all.”

For decades, biologists argued that birds migrate using magnetic fields, and that cryptochrome proteins in their eyes help them figure out where to fly. But the evidence for this has always been flimsy. In 1972, Wolfgang and Roswitha Wiltschko captured migratory European robins, put them in cages, covered the cages with a blanket, and wrapped electric coils around them. Once the birds lost their view of the sky, they still tried to move, or "hop," in the direction of their normal migration route. But when the Wiltschkos flipped the magnetic field around, the robins started hopping in random directions. They took this as evidence that, somehow, birds migrate using a magnetic sense. (Not bad!) In 2000, three theoretical biophysicists in Illinois, Ritz, Adem, and Schulten, proposed a mechanism for that magnetic sense. They argued that when blue light hits a receptor in the eye, it might create something called a "radical pair," locking two electrons into a spin state that a magnetic field could then nudge. They suggested that cryptochromes, light-sensitive proteins in the retina, might be responsible. (Speculative!) And then, in 2021, researchers apparently confirmed this! They took cryptochrome proteins from a type of migratory robin and put them in a test tube. They shone blue light at the proteins and found that this light induced them to form that transient "radical pair" state. And finally, they showed that magnetic fields could change this photochemistry where, in the presence of a magnetic field, the proteins formed fewer of these radical pairs, because the field forced a larger fraction of the excited molecules to ‘collapse’ back to their resting state. The experiment they used to measure this, though, has almost nothing to do with biology. You literally isolate the proteins, bombard them with a blue laser and, after each pulse, measure how much light the proteins absorb. For the robin cryptochrome protein, adding a magnetic field changed the absorbance *slightly.* But here’s the caveat: All of this was done in vitro, in a test tube, in a water-based buffer (rather than a cell). And, even worse, the experiment was done at 5 degrees Celsius (waaaay colder than the bird’s normal temperature) and at a low pH. And even after all this tinkering, they still *barely* saw a magnetic response! The news media didn't report many of these caveats. I randomly pulled one story from Science News and another from the University of Oxford, and neither even mentioned that the researchers ran the experiment at low temperature. The Oxford writeup actually hyped the result up more than the paper itself; that author wrote: “…the authors think the proteins involved could be significantly more sensitive in their native environment. In cells in the retina, the proteins are probably fixed and aligned, increasing their sensitivity to the direction of the magnetic field. Moreover, they are also likely to be associated with other proteins that could amplify the sensory signals." (Wow!) When Andrew York and Maria Ingaramo, two scientist working at Calico, heard about these results, they grew skeptical and decided to search for magnetically-responsive proteins — that actually work under physiological conditions — on their own. And that search, in turn, gave rise to Nonfiction Laboratories, a company that not only has created such proteins, but is now trying to commercialize them to make magnetically controlled cancer therapies that are only active near a tumor. The clip below is from my podcast.

🚨 BREAKING: Rep. Tim Burchett says conservatives must not only get demons who celebrate Charlie Kirk's death fired, but go after the "people in charge" who hire them. "Who the heck hired all these dadgum people?" "I hope we start paying attention to what's going on a little bit more, a lot more, because firing a few people is not going to solve this problem. It's the people that hired them that are the problem." "That's what we got to look at. That's the problem. The institutional problem that we have in our colleges and universities across this country that they hired these types of folks. They hire folks that they identify with. That's just human nature." "We've got to get to the core of this thing. We've got to get to the institutional mindset that's going on in our country right now and these colleges and universities that we allow this because all these are just little foot soldiers.

Less than two days after losing Charlie Kirk, these people are demanding that we stop talking about it on social media because of Russia and China. They are really just afraid that more people will see them for who they really are, soulless ghouls. We are not shutting up, we are not going away. We will defeat all of these crooks at the ballot box. They claim that "we are divided," but they haven't realized that they're alone yet. Americans are united, for Charlie.

Nonfiction Labs is building proteins that can be switched on- or off with magnetic fields. They plan to use these proteins to make cancer therapeutics, for example, that are only active near a tumor but inactive everywhere else in the body, thus reducing toxicity. The idea to do this came, interestingly, from extreme skepticism about magnetobiology as a whole and, in particular, some old-school papers that tried to explain how birds navigate by following magnetic fields. Andrew York, a company co-founder, was working at Calico when he was asked to give a talk about an area outside of his own expertise. He was handed a Scientific American piece about how birds navigate using Earth's magnetic field. He tracked down the source article, went through its citations, and became utterly convinced that the effect was not real. The classical explanation is that birds have cryptochromes, or blue-light-sensing proteins, inside of the photoreceptors in their eyes. It’s thought that these proteins act like a magnetic compass that tells the bird which direction to fly. But any time anybody studied these cryptochomes in the presence of magnetic fields, they only saw effects of less than 1% (in terms of fluorescence change) and only under very weird conditions, like at ultra-cold temperatures. The only result that seemed convincing to Andrew came from Adam Cohen’s lab, at Harvard, in which they took a synthetic molecule (called a phenanthrene–dimethylaniline) and showed that, in a weird buffer, its fluorescence would rise about 80% when exposed to a small, 0.1 T magnetic field. This obviously was not at all indicative of real biology, but at least it demonstrated that magnetically-sensitive molecules COULD exist. From there, Andrew began working with Maria Ingaramo to find proteins that might do the same, in more physiological conditions. They found that GFP (nothing special; literally the same protein everyone uses) is slightly magneto-responsive. Over several months, they engineered the GFP protein to behave more and more strongly in the presence of magnetic fields. And thus, intense skepticism —> more careful experiments —> a company that seems to be doing useful research. TL;DR: Professional haters can do great things in the world! There is always a place for skepticism. Relevant papers: Xiang, Lampson, Hayward, York, Ingaramo & Cohen, "Mechanism of Giant Magnetic Field Effect in a Red Fluorescent Protein," JACS (2025) Lee, Yang & Cohen, "Mapping nanomagnetic fields using a radical pair reaction," Nano Letters 11, 5367–5372 (2011) Ritz, Adem & Schulten, "A model for photoreceptor-based magnetoreception in birds," Biophysical Journal (2000)

I'm sick and tired of these tokenistic Welcome to Country ceremonies and I am going to stand my ground on this issue. They're divisive, they're unnecessary, and they've got to stop. Why should I be expected to acknowledge "elders past, present, and emerging" at every single event? It's not bringing us together; it's driving us apart. There's nothing wrong with turning your back on it. I've heard from many Aussies who are fed up, who've had it forced on them at work or events, and they're tired of being called racist for speaking their minds. I was born here, just like many of you. Where's our connection to the land acknowledged? It's time we stopped this divisive practice. Let's focus on what truly matters: unity and respect for all Australians, not just empty gestures.

Fox News shows a video of women and children lining up around their power plants, and the narrative they go with is basically that Iran is using human shields. "You have these fucking demons on Fox News saying that, 'Look how barbaric they are. Their women and children are going to the nuclear power plants to try to prevent us from bombing them, and they're evil, not us.'" -- Clint Russell "You have an assumption that the Iranian government has forced these people to go out there and act as human shields and not that these people went out there as a demonstration of, 'Please don't blow up my country and pretend that it's liberating to me.'" -- Robbie Bernstein

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt just exposed that the NGOs are BUSSING IN HOMELESS people, using them as "products" to steal taxpayer funds **60%** of LA's homeless under Karen Bass aren't from LA, many "bussed in" NGOs are synonymous with FRAUD at this point! "Over 60% of the people on the streets of LA aren't even from LA. It's because these NGOs have bussed them in because they're products. They use their Social Security numbers to get Medicaid money. They get state money, federal money, city money." "These are products, these human beings. They don't care about these people. If they fix these people, the money stops!" "So when I get in, we UNPLUG this whole complex and the city is going to have BILLIONS of dollars to put back into our infrastructure." 📽️ Matthew Seedorff

Gavin Baker says the Anthropic S-1 will break a lot of investors' brains "The Anthropic S-1 is going to be really important. And it's going to break a lot of people's brains. There are a lot of macro and value investors who are very confidently making these prognostications about AI with the assumption that tokens are subsidized." "Anthropic is generating cash. They're profitable. Open source tokens are profitable. OpenAI, if they're not generating cash, they will be imminently. SpaceX, same thing." "These macro and value investors are ignorant. They're very smart, but they're ignorant of the facts. They're making an assumption that tokens are subsidized and this is all going to collapse in some circular financing bonfire." "They're just wrong. The overwhelming majority of tokens are profitable for everyone in the chain. Everyone." "It's saying I'm very bearish on the world economy because oil is at $500 a barrel. If oil was at $500 a barrel, that'd be a good reason to be bearish. It's just not. They're just wrong. The central fact is wrong."

There is a new paper in Science proposing a mechanism for how homing pigeons navigate on cloudy days. (Hint: It's magnetic fields.) As with many magnetobiology papers, though, I'm skeptical of their proposed mechanism. These researchers, from Germany, found that pigeons have macrophages in their liver that accumulate lots of iron. They confirmed this with staining and other analyses. These macrophages also tend to cluster near nerve fibers in the liver (this is important for later). Then they did a really interesting experiment: - Train 34 pigeons to fly a particular 19-kilometer route. Ensure they all do this well. - Split the pigeons into two groups: treatment and control. - Inject the treatment group pigeons with liposomes loaded with clodronate. The macrophages eat these liposomes, and then clodronate kills the cells and scatters the iron. - Release the pigeons, from both groups, on an overcast day (it's thought that pigeons use magnetic fields to navigate when there is no sun). - All of the control pigeons reached their destination within 70 minutes, but the treated pigeons scattered in random directions. - (Important control experiment: The treated pigeons, released on a sunny day, flew like normal and reached their destination.) - This is taken as evidence that ??? macrophages --> iron --> navigation ??? via magnetic fields. But the mechanism is fuzzy. This experiment is super interesting, and it's clear that the treated pigeons really are unable to home to their destination using a magnetic field. But I'm not entirely convinced by the mechanism these authors propose. The main claim is that these iron-loaded macrophages "align" in a magnetic field, and that they shift according to the bird's orientation so that it can fix its direction. These macrophages (somehow) send signals to the nerve fibers in the liver, which then pass the messages to the brain, which allows the bird to navigate. The news coverage for this story suggests how this might happen: "One idea is that as the bird shifts its position relative to Earth’s magnetic field lines, the ferritin changes orientation and tugs on the web of fibers within a macrophage, possibly triggering the release of signaling molecules." (All you need to do is read the 2016 Meister paper, from the images below, to understand why such a mechanism is physically dubious.) The problem, though, is that the authors show (in their own study) that the iron in these pigeons' livers only act as a stable magnet at super low temperatures, below about 12 degrees Kelvin (or -260 degrees Celsius). At normal, physiological temperatures, the iron would be scrambled by the thermal motions of the tissue. Every measurement in the paper is taken at cryogenic temperatures, but a bird's body temperature is much higher, which means heat would likely destroy any magnetic alignment. The authors claim that MILLIONS of iron particles in the liver are all acting together to escape this effect, but they don't demonstrate the mechanism convincingly at all. If this claim is true, why not take homing pigeons (control vs. macrophage-depleted) and then rotate a magnetic field around them? You could record their neurons to see if there is some kind of signal coming from the liver.

Former BlackRock fund manager Ed Dowd on the SpaceX IPO: "people gotta understand... [SpaceX] raised $75 billion... [and only] floated 5% of the stock... it's a very small float" "[But its valuation], that's a different story" "$1.7 trillion did not go to SpaceX. [It is] $75 billion. So people need to understand that" "then when Anthropic and OpenAI, if they ever make it to IPO, they're going to raise about $100 billion each. So the total raised actual real money is about $300 billion between these three IPOs" "Their valuations, that's a different story. And those probably won't hold and they'll probably, you know, go down 80%. So anybody buying these stocks at these prices is probably going to lose a lot of money if they hold on to them" Shannon Joy Edward Dowd
