Writing an anti-AI booklet with a colleague/friend and we use the asbestos comparison, which works nicely because there was a "put asbestos in everything, don't ask why" period (toothpaste, cigarette filters, ...) which is illuminating when compared to AI propaganda

If you've cared for loved ones with dementia, you will recognize this disinhibition phase that we are currently witnessing with the fascist in chief. And much like what sometimes happens in families, there seems to be a deep sense of denial/averting the gaze happening across the country.

Not beating the nazi allegations.
A social media screenshot of a post by Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) featuring a graphic titled "UNITED STATES SPACE FORCE SERVICE DRESS UNIFORM — NEXT GENERATION —" alongside the official Space Force delta logo.
​The image showcases a full uniform concept worn by a male model against a dark gray background:
​Uniform Views: Full front and back views depict a dark slate gray tunic and matching trousers tucked into knee-high, polished black leather riding boots. The jacket features a high Mandarin-style collar, black epaulets, and a black belt with a rectangular silver buckle.
​Design Inspiration: A text block notes the design is "inspired by the discipline and functionality of the Starship Trooper uniform, modernized for the Guardians of the space domain."
​Color Palette: Swatches listed include Space Gray, Midnight Black, Silver Gray, and Satin Black.
​Detailed Insets: Close-up panels highlight the collar insignia, shoulder piping detail, sleeve patch with the Space Force delta, belt buckle, a peaked "Service Dress Cap," and rank insignia examples ranging from O-1 to O-7.

Screenshot of the top of a whistleblower disclosure titled "USPS Rushed Implementation of New and Untested IT Systems Threatens U.S. Ballot Mail Delivery." Addressed to Senator Blumenthal, the first point details how the whistleblower has "significant concerns about the USPS's secretive, rushed, chaotic, and fundamentally flawed process for the creation and implementation of an entirely new and untested set of IT systems" intended for the 2026 midterms.
