Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

Benj Edwards & Kyle Orland of Ars Technica caught red-handed posting AI-generated story w/ hallucinations (the blog they quoted blocks AI agents.) The blog post is about an AI agent crafting a 'hit piece' to attack the author Admit to it? Nope. They dirty-deleted it web.archive.org/web/20260213...

Tom Homan: "I'm not going to sit here and say anybody did anything wrong and that, you know, they were, you know, unprofessional." Today at Homewood Suites in New Brighton, MN:

Jeffrey Epstein's December 20, 2016 email to Bill Gates: "come to visit the island. new administration people visiting." What was the upcoming administration in December2016? Oh!

The people using ChatGPT to spam Amazon reviews aren't even trying anymore. This idiot forgot to remove the cheerful agent response.

I’ve been saying on this site and on the old one for years that pundits are great, opinion-slinging is a noble profession, but none of them could eat without journalists providing facts on which to opine. Weiss is firing the sharks and hiring more remoras.

And right about now people should consider how it is impossible to run software on an iPhone or iPad without Apple’s approval. And nearly so on a Mac. What a lovely copy of Signal and Bitchat you have on that phone. Be a real shame if it got marked as malware and de-installed…

Posted about Bit Chat in a tech slack and a complete numpty came out of the woodwork. Yeah, buddy. A new secure messaging app released by Jack Dorsey hasn't undergone extensive source code and published binary analysis by a zillion crypto and security researchers 🙄 He actually ran it past an AI 😂

Thanks to @dreadships.bsky.social I am somewhat educated in completely shit naval warship design and command, but I need an example or two of an elegantly designed and constructed warship of approximately the pre-dreadnought or dreadnought era?

Do they? bsky.app/profile/mn50...

you and many of your followers have probably already seen this but I thought it did a good job laying out a list of targets and categorizing strategic considerations for each vis a vis scope and lift: www.thenation.com/article/acti...

As a principled libertarian, I believe that anyone who doesn't immediately do what ICE says should be shot dead. And as a principled states' rights advocate, I believe that the federal government should not allow states to prosecute these shootings.

Love Massachusetts regulators and AG allowing National Grid to not fix a Worcester neighborhood's power for 5 weeks - Thanksgiving and all the winter holidays. NG refuses to fix service until the city overhauls a water main. One resident needs electricity for medical reasons. archive.is/41JtY

Ok. So. They anonymised the sheep.

If mass market self-driving tech is so safe, why does everyone else have to be warned when it's in use? It's an admission production self-driving tech is more dangerous. It's arrogant - "everybody adjust to our shitty tech" It will almost certainly be used to blame victims

Fun fact, US INS 20+ years ago did not let my aunt back into the country with her newly adopted son despite perfect paperwork. Republican president at the time and my cousin is brown & from South America. They were cool with her coming back, just not the child she was now legally responsible for.

Can you people stop posting screenshots of every single thing the Coppertone Coward says? Especially since half of you are complaining about what he’s posting on Christmas….and posting it here, on Christmas? My feed is half that one fucking post. I just want to see Christmasy pics of cats and dogs.

Had to unfollow @kenwhite.bsky.social because believe it or not if I wanted to see scroll through the orange-utang’s social media posts I’d sign up for truth social. Screenshotting his posts and screeching “ORANGE MAN BAD” had *zero* value. Stop rewarding his tantrums with attention.

That sound you all will hear soon is @dreadships.bsky.social ‘s conniption upon seeing one of the hello kitty or sci-fi anime ships for the first time

I quote from Andrew Tate’s X profile: ‘Unmatched perspicacity coupled with sheer indefatigability makes me a feared opponent in any realm of human endeavour.’ Erm… This is certainly not the case when it comes to boxing Andy. Oh dear. You poor little love. 😉

Allow Massachusetts Steamship Authority to top “someone turned the lighthouse off”: ferry captain and first mate failing to notice non-migratory jetty due to ungentlemanly debate over boinking other people’s wives. MSA, being a state agency, chose “hire a bridge referee” over “terminate dumbasses.”

Why I am unfollowing @sarahposner.bsky.social : in five minutes, four reposts of empty calorie comments about an empty calorie PR stunt by a fascist, designed to fill the news cycle so fascist stuff he’s doing that actually matters gets drowned out.

Rural America: “get your liberal coastal elite asses out of our business!” Rural America: *sends their military out of state to a community that did not ask for them and does not want them there…and declares their troops are protecting “us” suddenly feeling a spurt of shared identity and community

@universalhub.com do we know if Rudy Giuliani is in town?

Aaaaaand that's enough aviation internet for the day.

“You’re a stupid person” — Trump lashes out at a reporter who presses him on the fact that the suspected DC shooter was actually thoroughly vetted before he was let in the US from Afghanistan

Asked if he’ll attend the funeral of the slain National Guard member from West Virginia, Trump immediately pivots to talking about how popular he is in that state

Campbell’s fired the VP recorded saying its meat ‘came from a 3D printer’

Trump says that it’s fine to call him a fascist. But Holden Williams-Park, a Mamdani voter who runs an artisanal grilled cheese shop in Green Point, says that he finds such language divisive.

You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?

Analysis | By calling for the execution of prominent Democrats, President Trump is preserving the legacy of Charlie Kirk.

Looks like the lady in line ahead of me at Albertsons is having a day:

You've probably seen Marjorie Taylor Greene on the airwaves denouncing the "toxic politics" in the United States. So, let's revisit the evidence of who helped make these politics so toxic. WATCH:

What your president and his team are prioritizing.

My husband is currently losing an argument with a corgi.

The BBC, Kotaku, IGN, The Economic Times, Variety, PC Gamer and dozens of other gaming news sites / major UK newspapers apparently aren't "the media" (www.google.com/search?q=GTA... ) Amidst sky-rocketing fascism how about we not further enable it with lies that sow more distrust of the press?

Press should abandon the worn-out unit of “dollars” when discussing all the things the Trump admin is finding money for during the shutdown. “Head of DHS Pam Bondi spent 700,000 SNAP benefits on pair of luxury business jets” has a great ring to it.

This just in: woman who spent $170M during government shutdown…on a pair of the largest business jets available…says federal funds are “scarce.” The cost of those jets is about enough for 700,000ish full SNAP benefits for a single person. #actiondollbarbie

…and generating pageviews for ad revenue …and boosting engagement so grok’s nonsense is shown ti more users (Let’s be real though, Musk almost certainly told xitter employees to put a thumb the size of the Wienermobile on the algorithm’s scale for grok like he did for his account)

The crowd that sees he most documented crime in modern history as a false-flag, thinks democrats were running a basement child-diddling op in building with no basement - think Miller (screeching for weeks about 'every power of the state') had "technical issues" here. Conservative copium off charts

“The source told CBS News that [Kash Patel and Dan Bongino] asked for "large, beefy" agents to conduct an arrest of Comey "in full kit," including Kevlar vests and exterior wear emblazoned with the FBI logo.” The leadership of the FBI is now in the hands of infantile psychopaths.

When you meet someone who wants you to be institutionalized, prosecuted, or killed, you should be asking yourself: what do I have in common with this person? Tomorrow from Ezra Klein

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

1)This isn’t proof of a slippery slope, in fact it’s showing there doesn’t have to be a slope at all and 2) The issue is Reagan nixing the fairness doctrine which let conservative talk radio and news explode and brainwash “Real” America. Someone needs to find smarter friends.
