de verdachte: geen sprake van dat ik aan de borsten van mijn kleindochter heb gezeten want ik neem altijd de buurvrouw mee die moet voorkomen dat ik aan haar borsten zit. de officier: verdachte is een allerhartelijkste man die graag aan vrouwen zit. kan hij niks aan doen
De rechter zegt dat er mensen zijn die anders hebben verklaard. En dan wil hij weten hoe de relatie tussen de man en zijn kleindochter was.

Hij zocht haar op in de instellingen, waarin ze verbleef. Zijn buurvrouw, met wie hij veel optrekt, ging altijd mee. „Om zulke dingen te voorkomen”, zegt hij, verwijzend naar de aanklacht.
’In de trein’

Eens was zijn kleindochter ontkomen en stond ze bij hem voor de deur. Of hij haar naar Leeuwarden kon brengen. In plaats van aan dat verzoek te voldoen, belde hij de instelling met de mededeling: „Ze zit nu vast in de trein naar Leeuwarden”.

De man van de kleindochter verklaarde bij de politie dat hij getuige was geweest van de aanranding. Er waren nog twee familieleden die zeiden door hem te zijn aangeraakt. Zijn buurvrouw had de agenten echter laten weten dat de man zoiets nooit zou doen.
Paniekaanvallen en slaapproblemen

Waarom ’die mensen’ dat dan zeggen? „Voor mijn gevoel willen ze profiteren van anderen”, zegt de man op de vraag van de rechter. Dat blijkt volgens hem wel uit de schadevergoeding die zijn kleindochter eist: 8000 euro vanwege paniekaanvallen en slaapproblemen. Nee, hij is niet bereid die te betalen. „Laat ze maar werken voor haar centen. Ik heb 48 jaar gewerkt, ik heb nooit zo wat gekregen.”

Volgens de reclassering onderhoudt de man een rijk sociaal leven en heeft hij zijn financiën op orde. De kans op herhaling lijkt de organisatie laag. Wel is het advies hem een contactverbod op te leggen. Dat vindt hij prima. „Contact heb ik allang niet meer.”
’Niet genoeg bewijs’

De officier van justitie vermoedt dat de verdachte „een hartelijke man is”, een van een omhelzing en een „tútsje.” Het kan zijn dat hij zo de borsten van zijn kleindochter per ongeluk heeft aangeraakt. „De vraag is in hoeverre hier sprake is van opzet. Er is niet genoeg bewijs gevonden.” Hij vraagt de rechtbank hem vrij te spreken.

One of the things that is going to change is that we’re never ever again going to be able to be dominated by public officials who tell us, ‘Trust the experts,’” Mr. Kennedy said during the Tuesday session.

“If somebody tells you, ‘Masks work, trust the experts,’ A.I. may tell you otherwise,” he added. “If somebody tells you, ‘Social distancing works, trust the experts,’ A.I. may correct that. And if somebody tells you that a vaccine will prevent transmission and infection, or you need to take it to protect your grandmother, A.I. may say it actually doesn’t do that.”

Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff www.reuters.com/business/fin...
Summary
Companies
• Anthropic IPO could value the company at more than $2
trillion
• Anthropic lost $42 billion in 2025
• Al lab spent $7.33 billion on compute and infrastructure last year
• Operating loss widened to $8.06 billion in 2025 from $2.98 billion in 2024
• Execs, industry analysts have expressed concerns over harms of Al tech
Sept 28 (Reuters) - Anthropic is making a massive bet that Al will transform the global economy more profoundly than industrialization, electricity and the internet, according to its IPO prospectus seen by Reuters.
But the cost to get there will be staggering. Anthropic reported a net loss of $42 billion in 2025, and plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing and infrastructure obligations in coming year, according to the
prospectus.

It really gives the game away when the anti trans orgs are calling the election of the neo nazi party in Germany a "glimmer of hope."
​A screenshot of an online article headline from "Inspecting Gender" by Genspect. The main heading reads: "Germany: A Glimmer of Hope for Sex Realists?" Below the title, the summary text asks: "Is the victory of the AfD in Germany a dark day for democracy or a glimmer of hope for sex realists? By David Allison." The bottom metadata displays the Genspect logo, "5 hours ago," and a "Listen" audio option button. In the top right corner, there is a teal "Subscribe" button alongside a circular profile avatar.

Human targets were marked by the IDF by hacking into cell phone networks. One interviewee estimated 60-70k Gazans had been marked-clearly including many, many people beyond those considered Hamas fighters-and another said it did not distinguish between kids and adults. The interviewees said the targets were hit at night when they were home with their families, who they could hear through their phones before initiating strikes. "How could you bomb when you hear a crying baby inside?" Abraham asked one of them.
