30 years ago… back when we used flip phones and maybe only half of adults had one. Not to mention how preposterous all this is.

My name is not the reason we're paying $5/gallon for gas. My name is not the reason you can't afford your groceries. My name is not the reason you can't afford your mortgage or rent. My name is not the reason you can't see a doctor. Their policies are the reason.

It’s true and also appalling and maddening. … and I should not have laughed so hard, but in another era (pre-2017) this usually read as comedy. I now also feel guilty. Argh.

Billions of dollars’ worth of contracts predicting oil would fall and the S&P 500 would rise were placed about 15 minutes before Trump announced a U-turn on Iran in a post on Truth Social. CFTC staff began to investigate...then were told to lay off. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Ossoff: "I want everybody who is clipping this debate to roll that tape. You stood here right on this stage and you said 'a total ban, no exceptions, even for rape, even for incest, even to save the mother's life.' That was your position and now you are changing it."

You may have seen a viral picture of actress Mia Goth seemingly referencing her recent divorce filing. It was posted by an Instagram page w/ 1M+ followers and a blue checkmark. It was AI. Here's a story about multiple systems of verification/trust failing: www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...
“Mia Goth does not have ownership of, nor does she engage in social media on any platform. We have filed multiple complaints with Instagram to remove the verified fan account which continues to post counterfeit, AI images of Mia Goth,” Christine Tripicchio, a representative for Goth, told The Verge in an email. “The fact that this fan account meets Instagram’s criteria to qualify for a ‘blue check’ is disconcerting on a fundamental level. Beyond that, it is incomprehensible that Instagram evidently prioritizes the dissemination of forged and manipulated images over the protection and integrity of a public figure’s likeness.”An AI photo of the actress Mia Goth wearing a shirt that reads "MY EX IS MY BIGGEST FAN."

What people are missing is his belief that they aren’t helping Iran… it takes incredible incompetence for a POTUS not to fully know. Also, “not at all … but only at a low level”… so is it not at all or yes? Can’t be both.

Hasn’t he demonstrated it like, forever? During his first campaign? When he hosted two in the WH as 45 the day after firing Comey? Or, on Jan 6? But… technically, he hasn’t, due to the official, and very narrow, definition for traitor.

Well, it’s a quick take, and no doubt data will come in, but it sure looks like based on today’s evidence that a lot of pro-Trump and pro-AfD bot work depends directly on Russian data centers.

You cannot "reform" something built to abduct, assault, terrorize, traffic & kill. You can only abolish it. And that goes both for ICE & the MAGA Murder Regime that has unleashed its full occupation & assault on us.

Yesterday marked the 3rd annual Network State conference (in Singapore). This is the venture capital cult that plans to kill democracy. Peter Thiel protégés Curtis Yarvin and Balaji Srinivasan had a polite fireside chat about exactly how the USA will die. Yeah, The Nerd Reich is a very true story!
