[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.] From off-screen a newsreader’s commentary comes: NEWSREADER: Extraordinary images here of an expat in Dubai [The influencer’s eybrows raise slightly] …Having their first ever geopolitical thought. [CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencer’s face. The interviewee’s name is David Jones]. CLIVE MYRIE: To explain the significance of this moment we’re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent DAVID JONES: Clive, this is momentous It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: ‘Dubai Is Brilliant’. [Pointing at the screen, the influencer’s expression still the same] You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self. It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expat’s previous thoughts. CLIVE MYRIE: Which are…? DAVID JONES: You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes, I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa. CLIVE MYRIE: And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days? DAVID JONES: I think we can expect to see: “I Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To” CLIVE MYRIE: Mmm.

Weird they dragged in Hillary Clinton when there's another First Lady right there in the White House who actually knew Jeffrey Epstein.

“It is time to acknowledge what has become tragically obvious: the Trump administration is operating as a massive criminal enterprise.”

This absolutely captures it. Instead of "Trump Administration," we should say "Trump Syndicate."

#TrumpSyndicate

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.

Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.

Beautiful and devastating all at once.

Why are we having Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner negotiate anything? Years ago Jared Kushner couldn’t even get a security clearance and now the two of them are just globetrotting the world making real estate deals out of countries. The blatant corruption is incredible.

This is just thing that should be released with names.

Epstein survivor tells CBS News how she was trafficked, and assaulted Juliette Bryant says not long after meeting Jeffrey Epstein, he assaulted her, and she realized, "this is not a modeling opportunity, I've been kidnapped."

“As the airplane took off, Epstein started touching me forcibly in between my legs, and I freaked out. I realized, this is not a modeling opportunity, I've been kidnapped. They whisked me away to the island. I was stuck there. They never arranged any modeling opportunities, I was completely conned."

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Trump’s PayPal Mafia crypto czar David Sacks tried to use Americans’ tax money to prevent a crypto crash and protect his and his friends’ assets by creating a crypto reserve.

The golden age of corruption and treason

If folks had missed this -- the US is now abducting people in allied countries.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

I know blaming ICE is easy. Alex Pretti was murdered by Border Patrol agents not ICE. Agents who are supppsed to be at ports of entry. Bovino’s personal goon squad. The entire DHS is infused with a culture of immunity and violence. The entire organization is poisoned. It must be dismantled.

Federal agents in Minneapolis wrestled Alex Pretti to the ground and secured the handgun he was carrying moments before shooting him multiple times, according to a Washington Post analysis of video footage.

"...he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them."

"...no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust...shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title...from any King, Prince, or foreign State."

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

KRUGMAN: “.. How did a great, sophisticated nation, one of the world’s longest-standing republics, end up so fragile that it can be undone by one man’s dementia?”

Presiis noin.

Dumb-o yrittää pystyttää omaa YK:taan, jonka jäsenet maksavat hänelle (ei USA:lle vaan hänelle) turvatakuita. Miljardilla saa kolme vuotta, joiden aikana Dumb-o ei hyökkää maahasi.

My Sherlock-level brain tells me you're probably not in Finland right now :)

That one scene in Independence Day movie. You know the one.

"I'm a large language model created by Google. I'm not Russian Intelligence."

I laughed so hard I almost pooped my pants.

I'm watching The Copenhagen Test, a TV show with secret agents, espionage, all that good stuff. A dialogue scene plays; two department heads are discussing who could be behind the plot. Suddenly my Home Assistant speaker wakes up and says,

“.. Federal agents grab a woman to drag her away from her car, days after an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.”

Long Playn kirje: Meidän on pakko puhua tekoälyjournalismista Yleisön pitää tietää, jos sisältö on automaattisesti tuotettua.

"Tällä viikolla Helsingin Sanomissa aloitettiin ”AI-uutisvuoro”, jossa toimittajat tuottavat verkkoon pikauutisia tekoälyllä. Jutuissa asiaa ei mainita ja tekijäksi on merkitty toimittaja."

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

Renee Nicole Good's humanity needs to be the first thing that’s said, because the regime started erasing it from virtually the moment it murdered her.
