DJT: "THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NEVER ALLOW A RADICAL LEFT, WOKE COMPANY TO DICTATE HOW OUR GREAT MILITARY FIGHTS AND WINS WARS! That decision belongs to YOUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF."
Translation: I take responsibility for killing those school girls, to distract from the school girls I raped.
I thought George had mispelled 'literal'; instead, I learned a new word: lit·to·ral, meaning 'relating to or situated on the shore of a sea or lake', or a region lying along a shore.
"irrigated regions of the Mediterranean littoral"
Translation: 'I will attack politically any Republican who states the obvious, that I raped children. Somehow, I will never sue them for libel (unlike many others I've sued for libel), because I dare not let a court have a new reason for Epstein discovery.'
He would lose at tic-tac-toe.
'How about John if you don't like Donald, or if you want a more unique name, how about 'Trump' as a first name?'

I'm slow. I just saw the phrase 'the Epstein War' for the first time. I won't refer to it in any other way from now on.
"Much of the public discussion has shifted away from identifying people who actually perpetrated sex crimes with Epstein to whether prominent people should have socialized with Epstein after his 2008 conviction. That is not the discussion we were meant to have."

WRT "It will also further corrupt our politics, as businesses feel the need to be demonstratively pro-Trump if they want federal contracts."
Sorry, Paul, we've been there since the beginning of the DOGE fiasco.

An 'open source' AI agent prone to hallucinations that has already blackmailed a maintainer over a git commit is being acquired by an ad abuse giant that enshittifies everything it touches. What could go wrong?

I didn't see this coming, and now that I see it, it seems inevitable. Starved of compute, it becomes a dead-end job; this is worse than no stock options!

2/2, while others have abolished them for many or all serious child-sex crimes. The rule depends heavily on the exact offense, the victim’s age, whether it is a criminal case or civil lawsuit, and whether later reforms apply retroactively."
It went on with more specifics.
1/2 Me: Are there jurisdictions where there are statutes of limitation on pedophilia? Asking for an enemy.
OpenAI: "Yes. If you mean criminal sexual offenses against children, some jurisdictions still have statutes of limitations for at least some offenses
If we can't stop this clandestine crime by classifying it as secret, we might not head off federal control of state elections during the midterms. I'm hopeful some Republicans in likely blue districts will start caucusing with the Democrats before then.

Pretty sure this statement will change under the Ellisons.
WTF Witkoff? "We can take them at their word." We can't take Witkoff at their word, and certainly not the Russians.
Ezra observed the absence of a clear strategy to tackle the regime's entrenched power. Nadia Schadlow offered plausible-sounding short-term tactical explanations and unrealistic long-term goals. I wanted to shout, 'PEDO ATTACKED IRAN TO DISTRACT FROM EPSTEIN.' Ezra shouldn't normalize these people.
Please don't make fun of his stature; that part is not his fault.
Including the reversal of the separation of church and state? The so-called 'strict constructionists' seem a little bit less than strict.
“During the past year, it has become unsafe for our guests to visit the country. We cannot in good conscience ask the new winners, or the international journalists who cover the event, to travel to the US this year.”

The entire article is worth reading, but specifically:
"The DHS is paying data-brokers and ad-tech giants like Google for commercial surveillance data that it is using to feed the systems that automatically decide who will be kidnapped, rendered, and tortured by ICE."
I strongly oppose ad-tech. It wastes my time and never delivers useful information. It's a source of malware, both through the ads and the content they sometimes fund. The fact that it has become fascist and a tool for would-be autocrats is just the last straw.

He didn't even explicitly mention (though I think it is included in the $14.5 trillion figure) that they pay taxes they don't get the benefits of.
This article worries about the AI bubble popping and AI social media manipulation of markets. I'm worried that hundreds of OpenClaw traders will not stop at rumors and will instead proactively attack competitor stocks' markets with supply-chain and other attacks.

I'm sure there have been other candidates historically, especially during the lead-up to or during the Civil War, but in my experience, yes, this surpasses Iran, Iraq, Viet Nam, ...
Pedo illustrates the definition of narcissism.
Great article. I side with the Bayesian approach over frequentists because I believe statistical significance should be based on as little data as necessary, but no less. That might simply mean I have “weakly informative” priors on the issue.
Sign of the times, the Dutch rely on the US for software maintenance and seem worried that Pedo might nullify the capabilities of the F-35s they bought from the US as leverage for ... something foolish or anti-democratic he plans to do.
