Top AI executives sign commitment to ‘self-police’ after meeting at White House Trump apparently believes that 'self-policing' has ever worked out. Narrator: "Safety for our time. I have a paper here with Herr Zuckerburg's and other signatures on it." 😱

Something that "Czar" should do, but surely won't do, is to prohibit agents from 𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂𝒍𝒍 financial market trading. We already have proof that they will conspire. I have little doubt that such will end up "rigging" markets, etc.

Back-to-back quakes in Ibaraki last night. Both ~mag 5. One shallow. One less shallow, and EVERYONE woke up from that one. (No one moved, either from apathy or fear.) 😂 "Let it not be on a day, like today, when a strong topical storm is pouring rain upon us." 🤪

Embarrassing Breach at F.B.I. Fuels Fears of Harm to Its Employees (Gift Article)

A clown is running the place. Nonetheless, one has to wonder about their security were that not true. But that it 𝒊𝒔 true is at least as bad, if not worse, than if a normal human was running the place. "The US Senate" (The greatest cognitively impaired body ever.) www.nytimes.com/2026/09/28/u...

In an internal memo, the F.B.I. said it believed the hackers may have stolen sensitive information on all of its employees.

I'm all wrapped up in this: "You can detect a hole by spreading a smooth field across a shape, and measuring how it circulates. But for any given hole there are endless different fields that detect it."

"And I urge you to urge me to stop." I'm 17 again. 😂

You can do this. I understand (like most now) "scalability". Give me the perpetual discount. I'm just another dollar on top of other dollars. You give, you get. Or you don't get. 🤪 Don't wanna give? Okay, then. I'll pass.

What is CREC? The Christian nationalist group has a vision for America − and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s support

It's all so very weird. I mean, these guys are the Christian Taliban in every sense sans they don't agree on the last guy who speaks for god. What is CREC? The Christian nationalist group has a vision for America − and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s support theconversation.com/what-is-crec...

theconversation.com

The Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, or the CREC, has a highly patriarchal and conservative interpretation of Scripture.

The "Pre-Millennialists" are the "rapture people". They think your Uber driver, or your vacation pilots (if they are believers) are going to suddenly be whooshed into heaven. And Jesus is gonna presumably enjoy watching 1k yrs of hell on Earth before, you know, deciding to have a "Last Judgement".

The more you know about these folks, the scarier they are. And the "Shia-Sunni" divide among evangelicals, is "Pre-Millennialism vs Post-Millennialism". Pictured: "Post-Millennialists". They think they should control human life (the "Golden Age"), and then Jesus will come in ~1K years.

The answer to the question posed in the caption is: "Because apparently nothing says 'Prince of Peace' like using Russian Orthodox Christianity to counter flagging moral for a war in which you commit daily atrocities against civilians, and never should have started." www.cnn.com/2026/09/26/e...

And in Nevada, of the total of 185 supposedly noncitizen voters the DHS identified, the Republican state government just reported that every single one of them, 100%, were in fact U.S. citizens.

Texas used Trump’s federal database to check all its registered voters, which falsely flagged 578 US citizens. Last week they filed a brief supporting Trump, announcing they’d referred 117 names—a negligible .00065% of 18M voters—to AG Ken Paxton for “investigation of *potential* noncitizen voting."
