Pee-wee Herman? My literal hero whose movies I joyously watch with my senior citizen parents *and* my young kids at the same time & we all have an amazing time and then reenact the scenes forever thus making the world a better place? That Pee-wee Herman?

I am getting to the point where I want to punch the reporters there who don't back up their colleague when he tells a woman to "be quiet. Be quiet. Be quiet." It's enraging. I'm angrier at them than him.

For many years, people didn’t randomly film others in public—not because we didn’t have the technology, but because the social contract said you didn’t do that. That’s why Meta is going full court press on their PR and celebrity endorsements. They remember how people ran google glass outta town.

There's some speculation here, but Garrett Graff is an extremely careful journalist who knows more about government security issues than almost anybody, so this is pretty compelling.

What a week.

“This is not a smart man, and it is very funny to watch this all unfold. That he used a fake mugshot from a fake trial about a fake music festival from a very well-known national TV show and presented it as an ‘actual mugshot’ should tell you the kind of groundbreaking reporting methods this fella has used for years,” Ben Collins, CEO of The Onion, said via email. “While we’re very glad this era of InfoWars is almost over, we are appreciating this exceedingly funny crashout from afar as we build out something even better that we hope to kick off next week.”

“In the meantime, all true InfoWars fans worried about being exposed to Satan’s influences should visit TheOnion.Info to purchase Demon Guard™, the only patch that provides 24-hour holy protection against all dark entities.”

Almost every media outlet this side of Fox has reported @sollenbergerrc.bsky.social's discovery of missing Trump allegation 302s, but most are missing significance. Roger proved they existed by pointing to a discovery inventory Maxwell got. SHE KNOWS what they say. edition.cnn.com/2026/02/24/u...

The Maxwell evidence log notes three additional 302 documents dated in August and October 2019 related to the same victim, as well as three other sets of “interview notes.” None of those appear to be present in the files released by the DOJ, although there are copies of several photos she provided to the FBI as well as records of correspondence with her attorney.

There's a lot going on. But it deserves FAR MORE ATTENTION that Whiskey Pete is going to seize the means of AI production so he can 1) engage in mass surveillance of Americans and 2) shoot without human intervention. Dystopias this bad would be deemed unrealistic. www.axios.com/2026/02/24/a...

The big picture: Hegseth told Amodei in a tense meeting on Tuesday that the Pentagon will either cut ties and declare Anthropic a "supply chain risk," or invoke the Defense Production Act to force the company to tailor its model to the military's needs.

Why it matters: The Pentagon wants to punish Anthropic as the feud over AI safeguards grows increasingly nasty, but officials are also worried about the consequences of losing access to its industry-leading model, Claude.

"The only reason we're still talking to these people is we need them and we need them now. The problem for these guys is they are that good," a Defense official told Axios ahead of the meeting.
Anthropic has said it is willing to adapt its usage policies for the Pentagon, but not to allow its model to be used for the mass surveillance of Americans or the development of weapons that fire without human involvement.
Anthropic's Claude is the only AI model currently used for the military's most sensitive work.
