FBI warns Iran aspired to attack California with drones in retaliation for war: Alert The warning came in a bulletin that was reviewed by ABC News.

The FBI thinks you are fucking stupid. Iran has zero capability to cross the Pacific and sea-launch a drone attack on California. This is too fucking dumb for me to comment on further.

Insurrectionist Brunch: Trumpists plotted to deploy military on U.S. soil Before the 2024 election, a cadre of MAGA loyalists met over brunch to plot ways for Trump to use the military domestically.

This is just astonishingly great reporting.

All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.

And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.

Q: You just suggested Iran got a Tomahawk & bombed its own school. But you're the only person in your govt saying this. Even your defense secretary wouldn't say that. Why are you the only person saying this?

TRUMP: I just don't know enough about it. It's something I was told is under investigation.

Cyber Ninjas audit redux, only now it's going to be by crackpot feds? (The Cyber Ninjas, despite not knowing what they were doing and making some false claims, still arrived at the correct conclusion that Biden got more votes than Trump in AZ.)

β€œChatGPT had convinced him that all of this was so obviously true... I felt like I was talking to a cult member.” With more and more people relying on chatbots, @samleecole.bsky.social asks experts how we can help someone experiencing "AI psychosis."

They don't understand the concept of marginal tax rates -- they think if they go into a higher tax bracket that it applies to all of their income, not just the income above the threshold for the bracket.

It does feel uncomfortable to acknowledge making a choice you knew to be morally wrong and which also turned out to be stupid. These people need to be shamed.

The closest I've been tempted to exit Google Advanced Protection was finding that go41c, the HP41C emulator, is no longer in the Google Play store. The APK is readily available (free from the author), but no sideloading allowed.

Hundreds of former judges sign on to an amicus explaining the obvious, namely that unexplained shadow docket orders can't create binding precedent. www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25....

This seems pretty conclusive that he has been grotesquely dishonest about the whole thing, and it was almost certainly his Nazi tattoo that got him barred from the Marines in 2009.
