the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

I think what both the second Trump administration and the Epstein files have taught us is that thereās very little need of covertness or secrecy if everyone with power pretends you arenāt doing what youāre doing when you openly tell them what youāre doing

This is my exact quote btw: āKat is a journalist by training. She believes deeply in rigorous reporting. That is precisely why she believes editorial boards like this one often undermine the credibility of the institutions they sit within by laundering ideology as objectivity.ā

If you are a person who works in social media, and your job requires you to manage an account on Twitter/X, please ask your boss, in writing, to verify that you are required as a responsibility of your position to be on a platform that knowingly creates and monetizes child sexual abuse material ā¦

Stop calling the slaughter from bear hunts and the like a "harvest." There is zero scientific evidence that slaughtering bears leads to anything good, for ecosystems or our ethics and morals. It's just bullshit so hunters can feel like they're farmers or something. Fuck that.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

NVidia chief creep says resistance and scorn for AI have done a lot of harm. Good. Nice confirmation it's working. Keep it up. Although the main thing is this stuff is harmful crap so the mind and body tend to revolt against it automatically.

Look, this person doesn't understand what process is and how keeping it writer-based supports style and narrative, period. Thus, several things she suggests harmless if AI-driven are actually harmful. Also, the fallacy that AI is inevitable belies evidence of a bubble 1/2

This letter pretends it is reasonable and obvious but ultimately is an attempt to excuse a dozen or more ways of letting anti-human, pro-techlord, environment-destroying septic AI into our industry, organizations and processes. But there just isnāt an ethical use of generative AI, full stop.

It doesn't matter what way you slice it. NJT is orders of magnitude worse than MNR and LIRR. The worst days on the MTA railroads are more or less median days on NJT.
