The disgusting Media Censorship Complex is trying to prevent me from gambling on how many attempts it will take to complete a livestreamed government execution in America, where I concede I do not live.

New Yorkers, Whistles are on every counter, entry table and coat rack in Minneapolis. These greeted me when I arrived in August - 3D printed.
A welcome note from hosts on a pink post it note on a counter reads “welcome! Keychain whistles of MN Flag for both of you. Text or call with ?s”
Two 3D printed whistles with the pattern of the Minnesota state flag sit next to the note on the counter top.

Fearing likely disbarment proceedings, federal prosecutors involved in the Broadview Six case attempt to mask their names and deny involvement in the case... like rats scurrying off a sinking ship.

The move is particularly striking in the politically charged "Broadview Six" case, in which U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros' office has already been accused of a cover-up. Even in the Chicago prosecution...

It comes on the back of a panicky viral thread about “trapping” their bots in “torture” environments. These people think lines of code make their product conscious, but don’t give that same level of care to human people worse lives and jobs are being upended and displaced. It proves my first point.

They literally banned "cruel behavior" to a computer program. That's the same thing as "being mean to it" by any adult definition. I'm tired of caping for the delusions of people who have developed psychosis.

You cannot "trap" a line of code in something. What they're describing isn't real. You can call it whatever you want, but at the end of the day the people anthropomorphizing an app and limiting the tone in which you talk to it are both delusional and kind of straight up stupid.

The crimes continue! These prosecutors simply love lying to and withholding evidence from this judge, who told them they will face contempt charges if they keep doing this. I actually don’t believe she’s going to stand for this anymore. They’re clearly hiding something truly insidious.

The American white collar workforce started working from home three days a week for like six months a year into COVID and executives so thoroughly lost their minds over this that they installed Trump II. If anything, AI will create the 7-day workweek.

In the Broadview 6 case, DOJ has filed an apparently sealed request to release grand jury material. Judge Perry was like, "Sure, but you already did that." I have noted that the existing transcript does not match known events.
MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: The Government's request to disclose grand jury materials 272 is granted. That said, the Court notes that the 10/9, 10/16, and 10/23 Grand Jury transcripts - in both redacted and almost entirely unredacted form - are already on the public docket. See Doc. 129-1; 129-2; 229-1; 219; 220; 221. Mailed notice. (jcc,) (Entered: 10/08/2026)

Love the Onion usually, but they have one Ted Lasso joke and it's reduced to 'people who like it are adult babies'. So much to make fun of about it and they only really found that one angle and stuck with it

'I Think I'm the Best Player in the NBA.' The Excellence of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
The back-to-back MVP could lead the NBA's next dynasty

oh my god he admit it!
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had not seen the Onion headline.

We are talking in the back of a black SUV, parked in front of his offseason home in the Toronto suburbs, when I mention the bit of satire that went viral during the Western Conference Finals in May. I hand him my phone and he laughs.

“Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Trying to Draw Foul While Shooting Free Throw,” reads the headline, which is accompanied by an image of him flailing on the foul line. “Trying to draw a foul at the free-throw line,” he says, “that would be good.”
