biggest technological revolution of our lifetimes and it's not AI or blockchain or cryptocurrency or metaverse.

trump take precious bodily fluids

#FlowerReport from my Chicago back porch room.

More evidence that the Trump administration is cozying up to cybermercenaries. The Treasury Dept has removed three people closely affiliated with Intellexa, the company that makes Predator, off a sanctions list: therecord.media/treasury-san...

Our government decides what it does based on literally insane racist conspiracy theories. Everything is driven by criminal levels of evil, hatred, and stupidity. We're over as a nation unless and until this sort of thing is completely eradicated, and there is basically no hope of that.

The world is coming apart, wars rage, alliances and economic ties fraying, our health care crappy and worsening, climate change is an oncoming train …and this is the crap the administration is busy with. Yep.

The most prosperous society in human history self-destructing because too many of its members have decided TV World is real and they’ll burn everything down unless someone lets them live there

“The DOJ is forced to spend all of its time …?” My orange Dude: If the DOJ did what was ordered, all they’d have to do is put the boxes of files on a truck and drive them over to the committee. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It rocks because a) it was his not Kamala’s campaign promise that the Files would be released, b) he is mad that this is biting him in the ass in a way that among other things diverts resources from his election rigging schemes, and c) he repeatedly said that his “friends” are the ones in the Files

Lyme is one of many health problems caused & exacerbated by manmade climate change. A legitimate health secretary would acknowledge that. We actually had a pretty good Lyme vaccine but antivaxxers lied & said it gave people knee pain (it didn’t but knee pain?) & got manufacturer to pull it in 2002.

my issue of Threepenny is here! here’s my poem “Present Tense,” I would love for you to give it a read! “I know this so loudly I don’t hear, at first, my father’s silence.”

Jesus!

Relevant to anyone who sends time-sensitive payments, taxes, legal documents, or ballots through the U.S. Postal Service: the USPS has changed its rules for postmarking mail; postmark date might be days later than actual date of mailing, unless customers take specific steps: nstp.org/article/usps...

And this guy is still walking around free.

He has done incredible damage, but not from a place of genius. He does what he thinks will stir people up and keep him in the spotlight and he has no real values or sense of morality

How is this not a grant of ownership?

THIS THIS THIS. ALL OF THIS THIS is why faculty resist technological strategies for teaching. There is no engaging with Edtech without this context

This also hits “classic” tax filers…

As always, the biggest Trump scandals take place right out in the open

What good is a health savings account going to be unless there are massive sums of money being put in them? My trip to the ER with a kidney stone was over $18,000 for them to send me back home after imaging and 3 hours in the hospital.

Has he ever had to pay for his own insurance though? He had TriCare in the service and now he has the good free insurance.

The average private health insurance premium for an individual varies from around $500-700/mo depending on age. Are he suggesting sending everyone that doesn't have employer insurance, Medicare or Medicaid that amount of money to their HSA?

Someone please explain to these people that the $ the govt sends insurance companies is for the PREMIUM - the same premium the insured would pay themselves! With ACA subsidies, People CAN pay the full premium themselves & get the tax credit as a refund when they file their taxes!

This is about mail-in ballots, right? “the new rule will reflect the postmark with the date your envelope is first processed by an automated USPS sorting machine, potentially days after it was dropped off — not the actual drop-off date.”

BREAKING: i have discovered a new cache of buttons pics

Trump: "We have a fool at the Federal Reserve. I mean, Biden reappointed him. It's too bad. You would have thought he wouldn't have done that." (Jerome Powell was appointed by Trump)

He imagines his 2028 coronation as Americas forever king in a huge golden ballroom behind drone proof bulletproof glass. Truly pathetic.

Trump on the ballroom: "It's bigger than I told you. It's, you know -- after realizing we're gonna do the inauguration in that building, it's got all bulletproof glass, it's got all drone, they call it drone-free roof. It's dronessss -- won't touch it. It's a big beautiful safe building."

I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

These declines are MASSIVE. And the comparative silence in media coverage is absolutely DAMNING. “Why are ppl always so afraid of crime?” THIS is why. When crime goes up, media trips over itself to report it. Falls to pre-war (!!) levels? Just CRICKETS.

New: We obtained thousands of internal chat messages from the ICE team creating viral videos of raids and "EPIC takedowns." A scramble to satisfy the White House and "feed the beast" spawned a new "propaganda" machine, current and former officials told us. "It's a war!" wapo.st/4s6YnC5

Haunting festive presence.

“You guys, Hitler wants to see Poland succeed”

In America, where irony is dead, a hotel chain uses a policy denying shelter to local people, for fear of accidentally housing homeless persons… To deny a reservation to the author of a much-lauded book on how American economic unfairness forces working people into homelessness.

The first 3 words you see will define your 2026 Wine Friends Ass This can’t right, but if it is, 2026 will be so much better than 2025!

Soooo... human trafficking and old school slavery?

The other thing about normalizing gAI use in higher ed is that we are teaching our students that they cannot trust their own creativity, their own thoughts and brains, their own skills without having it reshaped/shellacked/transmogrified by LLMs. We’re setting them up for failure and dependence.

Ladies and gentlemen, the head of DOJ’s Civil Rights Division

Compare this to the Anchorage ceremony.

Keep calm and continue supporting Ukraine. If anyone here didn't know it yet, people can spite Trump simply by donating directly to Ukraine. There are many fundraisers, I use this one monthly: u24.gov.ua

Speaking as someone who just wrote a book on the Manhattan Project, I can assure you that refugee immigrants were the *entire* reason the US mastered the atom first. The most chilling part of writing my book was reading about them fleeing fascism … abroad. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/fleeing-on...

"Norman Rockwell was antifa," his granddaughter says. (Fact check: literally true.) www.thebulwark.com/p/norman-roc...

It's idiotic to ask him these things while his mind is freshly full of Russian propaganda. Ru wants to occupy all of Ukraine, destroy everything Ukrainian, absorb, russify, and rebuild as Ru. That's what they're attempting to do in the occupied territories. It's genocidal intent, not good will.

Trump's DOJ was monitoring all the movements of the Miami Herald reporter who was covering the Epstein case.

In September 2023, Lilian Weng, then Head of "Safety" at OpenAI, used her public Twitter account to announce how ChatGPT could be used as a therapist, and encouraged users to also use it as such.

JUST IN: The alleged J6 pipe bomber confessed, said he wanted to “speak up” for those who believed 2020 election was stolen, dislikes both parties and modeled his attack on the Troubles in Ireland. Says he wasn’t targeting the joint session of Congress storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Just a reminder that the 1994 Budapest Memorandum saw Ukraine give up its nukes in exchange for a Russian promise to respect UA sovereignty. The US and the UK promised to meet and discuss in the event of a violation. The only country in violation of 1994 is Russia.

Sorry if I’m being repetitive, but this legal positioning from DoJ isn’t a political coverup for a Trump. It’s a criminal coverup for Trump. Trump’s defense attorneys are defending his criminality from within the DoJ.

MSNOW reported the pipe bomber was a trump supporter. Marcy Wheeler pointed out the 22-day gap missing from the arrest affidavit. Now DoJ wants you to believe this guy has no political affiliation?
