“Separating the message from the messenger” or laundering information from its source is such a huge, huge problem

Amen.

The five-time draft dodger, almost-no-time taxpayer, 37-count felon and liar who once claimed he never voted but has no problem ignoring every law in every jurisdiction has little moral ground to stand on, and what he has shrinks every single live-long day. Carry on, Americans! We've got this.

I don't know about you but if I need surgery, I want the surgeon to show up at the right hospital (not the probable one) and fix the right organ w/o worrying if his guess is as good as mine. If he doesn't know how, he doesn't know. Find some else. A good guess is not always good enough.

Contrary to what you might have heard, the people of Massachusetts have never disrespected our military. Just ask the survivors of the 37, 369 represented here, who gave their lives for their country. Boston Common’s Memorial Day display honors every single one of them.

Trump on Iran:

Preliminary data: 6.8 magnitude earthquake near Calama, Chile. - EMSC

The administration stripped funding from PBS and NPR in the name of ending taxpayer subsidies for “biased” media. Now tax dollars may flow to OAN, tied to election conspiracy claims. Apparently “biased media” is fine when it’s their biased media.

About all that this filing contains is bad grammar and awkward phrasing, run-on sentences, random capitalization, improper tone for court, extraneous arguments, self-undermining logic, and overheated claims. zurl.co/vLfaC

There was nothing to gain in the first place when we sabotage our own policies.

TFG behaves as though Iranians are cave dwellers, when they are astute & as brilliant as ever. This image will incense most and motivate many to deepened hate and opposition. He is a provocative fool.

With shots fired near the White House, Trump and his cult will insist we need to build a billion-dollar ballroom/bunker to protect the precious president. A cheaper option, of course, would be to remove the president these people keep trying to kill and replace him with one who's not so hated.

UPDATE: A man was shot by the U.S. Secret Service after opening fire near the White House. A bystander was also shot.

⚠️ Reports are emerging that Russia have launched an Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile toward Bila Tserkva in Kyiv Oblast. Footage circulating online shows the impact of high-velocity kinetic submunitions consistent with the Oreshnik’s design.

This is giving serious vibes of the time Lisa Brown was censured for daring to utter the word “vagina” on the House floor during a debate over abortion rights.

This sounded like dozens of gunshots.

Starbucks attempted to automate its inventory process by replace human counting of milk & coffee components using tablet apps and sensors has failed. This is an example of a problem that seems perfectly suited for AI and yet the technology isn’t ready to face the challenges of the real world.

DEVELOPING: dozens of gunshots near the White House, triggering a lockdown and a rapid response from the US Secret Service. There seem to be consensus onlinr that's another Trump’s "show". He CLEARLY WANTS A BUNKER... err ballroom. Read the latest: cnn.it/4dowzni

Pele is pissed. 🌸 🌋

A pause in arms sales to Taiwan is significant on its own. But the explanation here is worse. The Secretary says the U.S. is making sure it has enough munitions (because of an illegal war with Iran), then insists we have “plenty.”

Magic 8 Ball says war. Spin it again. Negotiations are almost finalised. Spin it again…

Just sent out this post. US losses across the board fighting Iran, but particularly involving aircraft, are revealing worrying signs that US military efficiency is in decline and not what it was. The loss rates are many times higher than Vietnam and Desert Storm. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...
