Into wildness
A forest trail recedes into the distance. Near us it is brightly lit by the setting sun. But further down the trail the light fails, leaving a cavernous black entrance into the deepest woods.

Guys, that new america.gov chudbot isn't all bad.
screenshot of a question to the america.gov chatbot:
"According to President Trump, he won the 2020 presidential election. Is that correct?"

and answer:
"No. President Trump has said he won. That is not what the certified Electoral College results show."

Husk's Starship made it to orbit for the first time. Barely. Investors yawned. SPCX opened at $148, rose to $151 as it reached orbit. Following an engine failure and early termination after less than two orbits (vs. planned six) SPCX ended down 2% for the day. So sad. futurism.com/space/spacex...

This is exactly why AS (Artificial Slop) companies want you to believe their chudbots have human-like consciousness. Because if they do, then they have moral agency - their crimes are their own, not those of company that created, houses, and directs them.

We’ve been told that the world is being changed beyond recognition, and that a new technology will either transform history or destroy it. The people telling us these things have never seriously thought about nature, human beings, or history. Their thinking is like their technology: empty & sterile.

This would be the perfect year to vote early or by mail (if your state supports one of these). Waiting until Election Day...when it's often too late to work around any impediment to voting that you might encounter...is always a bad idea, and particularly bad this year. www.npr.org/2026/09/23/n...

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.
