That "Smith" should be "Schmitt"
"What would you say if I had a series of text messages from your team that said you were in Atlanta at a Warrior/Hawks game on February 3, 2024, the day after Willis and Wade announced their affair?" Smith said with a smirk.
Before putting aside the poster board, Schmitt confidently suggested that Smith had lied in front of Congress when he denied having been to the game.
"I don't think you know that we have this stuff, so I'Il give you a second to process it so you don't, you know, perjure yourself," he said to Smith.

Hmm, interesting. I just alerted a company to a massive exposure where user accounts could be accessed. It was accessible via url with no passwords needed. It exposed people's AI chats, .env files, databases, codebases. And I too was ignored until I chased down the CEO on social media.
The security industry broadly, as well as the US federal government specifically, considers data to be exposed if it could be accessed by people who are not intended to have access-particularly if it is reachable on the open internet without being protected by an authentication requirement, such as a username and password. "Exposure is the state in which personal or sensitive data has been left accessible, discoverable, or otherwise put at risk of unauthorized access, whether or not anyone has yet taken or misused it," says Mark Beare, head of consumer products at the security company Malwarebytes. "A publicly reachable database backup, a misconfigured storage bucket, or credentials sitting in a system that a researcher can reach are all exposures."

My 80 year old parents: Can you come by and help us. I muted the TV when we got a call and now nothing I do can bring back sound. Me: Text me a pic of your remote(s) We solved it last night over text. They had accidentally changed HDMI input to the soundbar. That was the 3rd thing I had her test.

This is so depressing because you just know there are many more victims.
Power and influence
The arrest is quite a reversal for Caruso, who was elected to the House in 2018 — the same year DeSantis was first elected governor — and served until last year. The governor would later call Caruso a "legend" for standing by him on a tough immigration bill.
An accountant by profession, testimonials on his business website describe Caruso as a "pillar of the community." He also coached Little League baseball for 30 years, volunteered for the Boy Scouts for eight and was a member of the Delray Beach Police Advisory Board.
People who know Caruso described him as a smooth talker and someone who could
"charm his way into the White House."
Caruso won his largely self-funded campaign for the state House in 2018 by just 32 votes, then consolidated his political power throughout DeSantis' two terms as governor, which began in January 2019. Caruso won his re-election by 10 percentage points in 2020, and by nearly 20 the last two election cycles.
Without Caruso on the ballot, a Democrat flipped his House seat in the Palm Beach district — which includes President Trump's home at Mar-a-Lago — during a March special election.
Caruso made headlines in early 2025 as DeSantis and Republican lawmakers clashed over immigration legislation. He was the sole ally with the governor, voting against the competing bill proposed by state House Republicans.
DeSantis described him as a "legend" and "my representative Mike Caruso" at a press conference shortly after the vote, and twice publicly thanked him on social media for his support.

No one present reacted in any way demonstrating they were offended by any of the comments. Other inappropriate "locker room" comments were also made by J.E. and others, not directed at candidates. The only sexually charged comment about a candidate resulted from their admission to having frequented massage parlors. A hypothetical discussion ensued regarding whether it was disqualifying, which ultimately led to juvenile sexual banter. One comment made by J.E. pertained to a female candidate weighing 300 pounds and her perceived inability to complete the fitness requirements of the Department.

"decline" is such an odd word here. It was not a dinner invitation, it was accusations of child abuse.
Miller posted the documents online Sunday after delivering a livestreamed defense against the claims leveled by his former wife, Emily Moreno. He has declined all allegations of wrongdoing, which include pouring hot water on his ex-wife, holding a gun to her head and breaking his daughter's collarbone.

2017: "On the other side are hard-left activists and agitator: who make a very public point of wanting those people purged." 2026: "This would require prohibiting DSA members from joining their party and throwing out the DSA members already honeycombed within it." You see, purging is good now.
Screenshot of article:

A war is already brewing for the soul of the Democratic Party. On one side are many of its Jewish voters and donors. On the other side are hard-left activists and agitator: who make a very public point of wanting those people purged. Some of these agitators, like Bernie Sanders, are not even Democrats yet strangely expect, and are offered, deference from the very party leaders and influencers whom Sanders and his acolytes want to expel in their "revolution." I would encourage Democrats concerned about the future of their party to read a recent New Yorker article about a podcast produced by a group of anti-capitalist Brooklyn Twitter personalities that has become quite popular among young, politically conscious millennials. Christening themselves the "Dirtbag Left," the hosts of Chapo Trap House epitomize last year's
"Bernie Bro" phenomenon in that they are aggressively masculine-to-the-point-of-misogynistic leftists whose politics mix the nihilistic gonzo sensibility of Hunter S.
Thompson with the narcissistic machismo of Andreas Baader. Good luck with that.
It is an article of faith among this crew that Sanders would have handily defeated Trump had Democrats abjured the counsel of their perfidious "neoliberal" donor overlords and nominated a 74-year-old socialist for the presidency. This bit of retrospective insanity is driving the push for Ellison's chairmanship of the party, and it betrays the penchant for half-baked fantasizing so common on the regressive left.
If there's one thing it ought to have learned from this most recent presidential election, it's that a country that just elected a xenophobic demagogue over Hillary Clinton would not have preferred a radical leftist. For in the battle of left-wing versus right-wing populism, (which is what a Trump-Sanders election would have essentially boiled down to), the latter will always win. When, in history, has it not?Open letters aren't enough. If the Democrats want to root out the party within their party, they will need to stop indulging the DSA's constant, passive-aggressive attempts to undermine them. This would require prohibiting DA members from joining their party and throwing out the DSA members already honeycombed within it. Four decades ago, Labours Neil Kinnock expelled the extremist faction burrowing within his beloved party. If Democrats want to rescue their party, they may need to do the same.

Couple years ago I posted in response to a video of Trump golfing where, similar to this, he said something about, "Biden couldn't do that" And it just struck me as so pathetic. He is the sitting US President, and he's bragging about how he can get in and out of a car easier than another old man.

Trump consumed by his own pathetic view of himself, uses anything to make himself feel better. Here, he is proud that he got in a car because he thinks Biden couldn't. It's so dumb, so pathetic, so weak. Trump has to know daily, alone and naked in his shower, just what a pathetic loser he truly is.

The absurdity of this president pretending to care about disparaging Americans is patently absurd.
While the changes are more subtle than those that took place at the President's House in January — and the new exhibits the government proposed a few months later — they further underscore the Trump administration's goal to sanitize U.S. history, as signified by his executive order to review or remove content at national parks that "inappropriately disparage Americans past or living."

This sounds about right. Always two kinds of people. If someone paid a coder to make something with minimal planning, pushed it out without aggressive testing, it would likely be crap. That same person using AI is also pushing out crap. People who pay attention to details pay attention to details.
The people who benefit most from these tools are the ones who can engage with them critically. They can ask better questions, recognize when something looks off, and take the time to verify the results before relying on them.
In practice, that means spending more time reading and writing than you might expect. It means thinking through your systems in plain language, not just code, and being able to explain what they are doing and why.

Once I went indoor skydiving with Melissa McCarthy. Once I smoked a cigarette with Gwyneth Paltrow in her living room. I once slept on a tour bus through Alabama a few feet away from Billy Bob Thornton after he decided, briefly, that he was done with Hollywood and wanted only to sing with his band. I sat in a room with Nicki Minaj in Brooklyn once, ostensibly to interview her, but instead watched as she fell in and out of sleep for the duration of our time together. Once I walked the entirety of Hampstead Heath with Tom Hiddleston. Once I shot hoops with Ben Simmons as we waited out the tense weekend before the N.B.A. draft.
And then the world changed drastically, and I went to London to interview a ... computer? a robot? named Tilly Norwood, whom her creator calls the world's first A.I. actress.

The Miller's Will
There was an old miller by everyone known
He had three sons was all nigh grown
When he came to die and make his will
He had nothing to give but an old tub mill
He called up his eldest son
He says, "My son, I'm almost done And if the mill to you I'd make
Pray tell me how much toll you intend to take?"
"Oh dear father, my name is Heck And out of each bushel I'll take one peck And every bushel I do grind A very fine living at that I'll find"
"You are a fool," the old man said
"You have not fairly learned my trade
The mill to you I will not give For never a miller at that can live"
He next called up his second son He says, "My son, I'm almost done And if the mill to you I'd make
Pray tell me how much toll you intend to take?"
"Oh dear father, my name is Ralph And out of each bushel I'd take one half And every bushel I do grind A very fine living at that I'll find"
"You are a fool," the old man said
"You have not fairly learned my trade
The mill to you I will not give For never a miller at that can live"
He next called up his youngest son He says, "My son, I'm almost done And if the mill to you I'd make
Pray tell me how much toll you intend to take?"
"Oh dear father, 1 am your son
I'll take three pecks and leave just one And if a good living at that I do lack
I'll take the other and swear to the sack"
"You are my son," the old man said
"For you have fairly learned my trade The mill is yours," the old man cried And he closed up his eyes and died

Contrast with Trump's open, brazen, extreme, illegal, unconstitutional, selling of pardons, selling of policy, and outright looting $1,776,000,000 billion dollars of U.S. taxpayer money to further reward his criminal thugs who he already unjustly pardoned. Enough is enough. Rid us of this man now!

It was always clear to me this was going to be the problem. 250 years of Presidents restrained by honor, by integrity, by norms and traditions. None of that matters to Trump.

There is a lot of tradition and almost no rules on how to be President.

Always disappointed, rarely surprised.
Tweet from the day before Jan 6, where I make up a Trump quote.

"BIGGEST coup crowd ever! Nobody has ever had a coup crowd willing to commit violence for them like I have."

I'm going to make one exception to my opposition to the Death Penalty. Trump is deserving of such a disgraceful punishment and there is no uncertainty to his crime nor his guilt. After a speedy trial, he should be summarily executed and dumped in the ocean like a terrorist.

Since the MSM still asks. No Trump's base does not care that he's a hypocrite on every issue. They care that he wins. He can be a hypocrite on any issue & lie. In fact, they don't care if he cheats to win or abuses his power in pursuit of his ends. Not one Republican cares.

Dug it up and found it. This still makes me mad. Just the shameless hypocrisy to have called for Kaepernick to be benched and then later, when it suited her protest goals, to demand the NFL players take a knee to protest Trump. She could not care less about the players or their protest goals.
A screen shot of a set of tweets from Oct 2017, wherein I call out Lynn de Rothschild for being an obnoxious hypocrite for calling NFL players gutless for **not** taking a knee to protest Trump. And I do this by showing a previous tweet of hers I had remembered where in she blasted the 49ers demanding they bench Kaepernick. Basically, she was shitting on the players and cheering owners when they were fighting for Black right, but she demands their service to protest her favored causes. This shit still pisses me off.

What kind of low quality ice cream chicken is that? Check this one out that I saw! This looked like real chicken when I saw the box.
An absurdity of consumerism, an ice cream "fried chicken" that looks like an actual chicken drumstick, extra crispy, ice cream chicken, and chocolate bones. It is wild looking.

I filled up before I drove from LA to AZ last week. This bigoted mf'er and his bigoted wife just bullshitting their way across the USA while we all suffer the war their grifting king has started for nothing but his own ego and because he is easily manipulated by his fellow fascist evildoers.
