At this point, nothing is stopping him from doing this.

President Serial Killer strikes again, and it’s highly disturbing that the military is just carrying out these illegal orders. These are rehearsals for murdering people on US soil.

I would genuinely be interested in a long read by someone with access to Bessent, to get some idea of the psychology that is making him think he can achieve exactly what the Bank of England couldn't, when he was a trader for George Soros in 1992

In a nod to history, President Trump invites the British to burn down the remaining portion of the East Wing.

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

I didnt realise the tattoo was acquired on a drunk night out in Croatia. That actually makes it way worse

the AWS outage is affecting Ring doorbells. Sky News says “some users can’t see outside their house, definitely scary” just look outside your window 😅

Steve Bannon: “The real opposition is the media. And the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with shit.” Media: "We cannot with certainty identify this mysterious brown substance."

Private analysts able to spot military planes in flight from open-source satellite data, not real time but very soon after capture. And yes I'm sure detection of those signature R-G-B ghosts (which measure speed and direction) can be automated. ht @vcdgf555.bsky.social !

“It was also a key step in hindering an ongoing U.S. investigation into his government’s relationship with MS-13” big update in this story 🎁 wapo.st/4nbNiM4

“The men who survived were being returned to their home countries, Colombia and Ecuador.” One day, they’re dangerous “narco-terrorists” who require summary execution. The next day, they get sent home because Trump doesn’t want to hold a legal hot potato. Trump’s entire drug war is bullshit.

Really in the "purely because I can" era of political corruption

Oh

Also any journalist who unironically quotes Trump’s musings about how the obstacle to peace is the deep mutual hatred between Pu and Zelensky should be ashamed of themselves. The fact that Trump occasionally says something so inane doesn’t mean you have to amplify it!

People keep saying this but if welcoming the indicted war criminal Pu instead of arresting him lifts Orban’s campaign up instead of putting it in the gutter, Hungarian society is deeply rotten. Let’s hope Hungarians meet the historical moment this time and punish Orban for this humiliation.

It's a day early, but posting my #FakeBookTitleFriday now before I forget to! For once, the blurb for the book was perfect as is and didn't need to be changed.

Argentina edition of Libertarian bible

“Hey, c’mon now! … You two were made for each other!”

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

This is a remarkable coup by UHZ - but does not reflect success of state investment in higher education (which is going down in CH). Rather, it is the model that made U.S. academia so successful: massive private funding. Bizarrely, it is money from a Brazilian foundation. 🤯

Oops

President Trump wins the Nobel Bitchslap.

RFK Jr on Tylenol and autism: "It is not proof. We're doing the studies to make the proof."

Valuable info about the Physics Nobel Prize today from Prof. Joseph Barranco at SFSU on Martinis and Devoret being a grad student and postdoc in Clarke's lab at UC Berkeley & Clark and Devoret being immigrants. "California *public* education made this happen. Immigration made this happen." ⚛️

And here we go. I never wrote this article, and yet it is cited here. www.liberalbriefs.com/geopolitics/... And of course, it sounds so plausible, I seriously checked whether I had forgotten it, or the footnote was slightly wrong. #AIisnotresearch

How does he keep getting these exclusives?!?

Enough with the moronic nonsense

I'm a proud Dane and feel the same way. Will keep sticking my nose in until the US is a force for good again.

"single-use plastic of the mind" had me GAGGED

The Primary Energy Fallacy is the idea that all primary energy from fossil fuels must be replaced with equivalent amount of clean energy. BUT: Not necessary because >2/3 of all primary energy is lost as waste heat. Electrification+renewables are far more efficient. medium.com/@jan.rosenow...

Esse perfume é um perigo @ouricodecarto.la

The US is under attack from drug traffickers in the same sense I am under attack from cookie dough.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

really enjoying all the people trying to explain the bible to the pope today

In one of Gary Larson's books, he reportedly got in trouble with the Jane Goodall Society for this cartoon, but he heard that Jane Goodall personally loved it.

One part Gestapo, one part slave catcher

Ah!

Noticiário político brasileiro é 1000X isso. Só conversa de insiders de Brasília.

Man, I'm sorry, but reading all these AI generated essays from students, it just sucks all the joy out of everything. It's exhausting, makes you into a weird paranoid cop, grinds you down, wastes your time, makes you feel like shit about everything. Fuck this shit technology and all its enablers.

It is important to remember that this makes it much, much easier to create compromising imagery - stills, video - & audio to attack political or business opponents/rivals. Putin used a very crude version of this to go after Yuri Skuratov, Russia's prosecutor general, back in 1999. 1/

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

I know this isn't important at all but I really think that pants should not be associated with menswear? like not in a "clothes should not be gendered" way, I just think pants are inefficient for people who don't have hips, not to mention the crotch comfort thing

there are almost certainly more people — more blue collar laborers, specifically — involved in the cultivation and production of chardonnay grapes and wine than in coal
