In the 1920s, there was an enormous Klan-aligned caucus in the House of Representatives that passed an immigration restriction bill designed to keep out Catholics and Jews because they supposedly posed an existential threat to American civilization. 100 years later, here we are.

n one extended exchange, Thiel and Epstein discussed the role of β€œdeception” in evolution, the idea being that animal and human predators imitate the appearance or behavior of something else to gain advantages in survival or mating.

Reproduction, Thiel suggested, was possibly a β€œdeceptive strategy.” β€œMaking copies of oneself makes the odds better= that the predator gets only a copy and not you,” Thiel wrote.

Epstein responded that deception was a tool β€œto protect or conquer free energy.”

β€œIn essence if the predator can read your algorithm, you are easy food,” he wrote, later adding, β€œDeceptive self confidence is also a winning game strategy.”

Antisemitism in America does not justify apartheid in Israel, apartheid is Israel does not justify antisemitism in America, a very simple concept that people seem to have a lot of trouble grasping.

A striking feature of Trump and his team is: they somehow imagine a world in which they are the only actors, only ones with power, and whether it's Tehran or Minneapolis are surprised when it turns out others do. There are many kinds of power and many nations with power.

The core problem is that literally 50% of the water is diverted to make comically tiny profits of, like, a few hundred million dollars, so trillions of actual economic activity gets held hostage by some clown who bought land in 1872. Put a market price on water and the problem is instantly fixed.

Florida Passes Bill That Lets DeSantis Remove Local Elected Officials From Office For "Promoting" Pride The bill could heavily impact LGBTQ+ activities throughout the state, and is the latest exercise in the erosion of democracy there.

1. Attacks on LGBTQ+ people have always been tied with the erosion of democracy.

Now, a bill has just been passed in Florida that lets DeSantis remove elected officials for promoting pride/LGBTQ+ people in their official capacity.

No court hearing necessary.

Americans can all rest easy knowing that while this fresh Mideast war may lead to asymmetrical terror attacks throughout the world and on U.S. soil, and household budgets will be strained to a breaking point by doubling the cost of filling a gas tank, the suits at Exxon and Texaco will be just fine.

US Lawmakers Move to Kill the FBI’s Warrantless Wiretap Access A bipartisan bill would force the FBI to get a warrant to read Americans’ messages and ban the federal purchase of commercial data on US residents ahead of a critical April deadline.

NEW: A bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced a bill requiring warrants for FBI searches of Americans' communications under FISA, aligning federal law w/ a 2025 ruling that found the practice unconstitutional.

It would also ban the government from buying Americans' private data from data brokers.

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI β€˜Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academicsβ€”without their consent.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.
