Everything Everywhere All at Once was a great movie and is also a current foreign policy strategy.

A guy says "hey 1979 IBM training manual hows it goin?" 

Photograph of said manual reads:
"A COMPUTER CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE 

THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER
MAKE A MANAGEMENT DECISION" 

*the guy looks on with a melancholy expression*

"yea"

I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

It’s the year 2025 and Americans have to watch a bootlegged international version of a news program because it was censored here in our country to protect a criminal president.

β€œHe raped me.”

β€œDonald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.”

β€œShe was found with her head β€˜blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.”

Now we’re starting to see why Trump was hiding the Epstein files, and it probably gets much worse.

There is only one reason Trump directed Bondi to investigate specific names in the Epstein files.

It’s so the DOJ can stonewall growing calls for their full release.

Not long ago, the DOJ declared there was nothing to investigate.

You are witness to the most blatant coverup in American history.

Sexual assault survivors are seeing politicians and TV personalities fall over themselves trying to obfuscate the horror of what Epstein did. Turn cartwheels to protect his powerful cronies.

Imagine the message that sends to them.

Now imagine why sexual assault survivors don’t come forward.

NEWS: Annie Farmer, an Epstein survivor who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell, just revealed on CNN that she wrote a letter with her concerns to Deputy AG Blanche β€” and received no response.

She says neither she nor other survivors have heard a word from the DOJ.

Comic. A snake slithers around a hypercube. No two non-consecutive parts of its coils can be on adjacent corners. [Three small 4-dimensional hypercubes showing disallowed options with one large cube with snake wrapped around it. Dimensions = 4. Max Length - 7.] Snake(N) = Longest snake that can fit in an n-dimensional hypercube. Snake(N=1, 2, 3…8) = 1, 2, 4, 7, 13, 26, 50, 98. Snake(N>8) = UNSOLVED. [caption] It turns out every scientific field has a key thought experiment that involves putting a cute animal in a weird box for no reason. So far, quantum mechanics and graph theory have found theirs, but most other fields are still working on it.

I expected the massive upward redistribution of wealth and income. The utter disdain for human life, health, well-being, tolerance, science, education, the rule of law and the constitution, and relish for cruelty, has gone so much further than I expected.

NYC shooter had two 'mental health holds' in Las Vegas. They didn't affect his legal right to own guns The New York City mass shooter had been diagnosed with multiple mental illnesses and had been the subject of two "mental health holds" in Las Vegas, but none of that limited his legal right to own firearms.

Trump’s Deals With Top Colleges May Give Rich Applicants a Bigger Edge

Happy 60th birthday to the Voting Rights Act! This guarantee of voting rights to minorities was repeatedly reauthorized over the years by Congress. In recent years, voter suppression has resurfaced. Solidifying voting rights would seem to be an uncontroversial stance for Democrats nationwide.

I was just talking to my best friend in the world about our shared history of abuse by parents influenced by Dobson (and others of his ilk).

There are so many points of light that helped me deconstruct, but a visceral understanding that THERE IS NO RIGHT WAY TO HIT A CHILD was the biggest one
