lots of good info here including this remarkable- though not surprising- reaction to Trump not getting the Nobel Peace Prize:
3. Yesterday, it was announced that Judge Navi Pillay had been awarded the prestigious award. She's a former jurist for the International Criminal Court in the Hague, the Netherlands. 3/33

4. She presided over monumental cases involving genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. When asked for comment, Pillay joked: "I may share this prize with Trump." 4/33

5. Within hours, the administration said it placed economic sanctions on the court, preventing US businesses from providing services. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the ICC was "a rogue court."

I wrote long ago that Trump created his own reality with his repeated lies. He may start out knowing he is lying, but the lies blur after he repeats them. His lies are like mixing different paint colors. Truth becomes a grey goo. Nobody else can know what's true. Only what he says is true.

Precisely. 10 years ago - 5 years ago, really - it was possible to interact with an entity and be nearly 100% sure it was fully conscious and human. (Obviously you could never be sure something WASN’T, but that’s a different question.) Now we can’t. That’s a big, big change in our place on earth.

People are discussing how Halloween candy is so terrible these days. A reminder that alot of the candy we eat is made with women’s prison labor. Russell Stover’s factory in Kansas busses in 150 women a day via a convict leasing program to staff their candy factory.
Russell Stover has begun using prison labor to make candy in
Kansas
A Russell Stover candy factory in Kansas has begun hiring incarcerated workers through a work release program, Eoin Higgins reports in his newsletter, The Flashpoint. About 150 women are bussed in from the Topeka Correctional Facility and paid $14 an hour, but the prison keeps some of their wages for room and board, taxes, transportation, and other expenses. When all is said and done, they take home less than $6 per hour. These deductions are high, but elsewhere in the country, they're even higher: In our May series on prison

Potentially nothing whatsoever, but a lot of people have connected them. Like, for millennia. Quietly dumping 3000+ years of thought about the fundamental nature of humanity into the trash, because you don’t want to make an embarrassing admission of uncertainty regarding LLMs, seems foolish to me.

Glad you pointed out the actor playing Dr. Kiss was on STAR TREK! His name was Michael Dunn, and his most famous role was Dr. Miguelito Loveless on THE WILD WILD WEST. He also starred in the 1965 movie SHIP OF FOOLS. Very good actor.

Everyone in your circle of trust spinning out is the most dangerous thing that can happen to you, information-wise, and it’s why you have to be on guard for it in a way that many global elites just don’t seem to be. I really do think it’s one of the defining issues of the 2020s.

I see people confronted with facts like this become apoplectic and say that they simply won't follow the law, they'll do whatever they want, etc, etc. Yet none of them think through the implications of what they're saying: that the law is completely dead and there is no longer a country.
