Even if it’s IPSC, which we should give access to more people, HE is the one who used ‘clone’ and "my own blood boy" 🤮 So I have no doubt he'd be ok, harvesting the organs of a living being . What he's doing to his own current living kid is child abuse. What an evil POS. End Billionaires.
Did Bryan Johnson really clone himself as a newborn?
What to know
The description of Johnson's cloning experiment doesn't seem to be like an actual clone. He may be describing induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPSCs.
Those are mature, specialized cells (like skin or blood cells) that have been genetically reprogrammed in a lab to act like embryonic stem cells.

MAYOR RAS J. BARAKA STATEMENT ON JUNE 7TH INCIDENT AT DELANEY HALL
"Last night, the Newark Police Division (NPD) responded to a call regarding provocateurs at Delaney Hall who were blocking the facility's entrance. It is my position that ND should not have been called to intervene in this situation. The responsibility for maintaining secure access to the facility lies with GEO, which must ensure it has adequate security to manage employee ingress and egress. Asking Newark police officers to assume that role places an unnecessary burden on our department and further strains our already limited resources and budget.
"Also, I am encouraged by the NPD investigation because it appeared that some of our officers were over aggressive and should be held accountable. It is imperative that all of our officers uphold the standards of professionalism and accountability required under the consent decree. Any conduct that falls short undermines the significant progress we have made in building trust and advancing community-focused policing in Newark.
"We must also return our focus to what matters most - the detainees at Delaney Hall, their families, and the injustices they are facing. Actions by either provocateurs or law enforcement that shift attention away from these concerns ultimately detract from the purpose of these demonstrations and risk silencing the voices of those most affected.
"Moving forward, I am hopeful we will see a continued commitment to peaceful protest at Delaney Hall, alongside clear accountability for any individuals who engaged in unlawful behavior."

If i'm not a New Yorker after choosing to live here for 27 years (most of my current adult life,) than I have no claim anywhere. Born under dictatorship, raised in a suburb, I only fit here.
Here is New York

(E. B. White)

There are roughly three New Yorks. There is, first, the New York of the man or woman who was born there, who takes the city for granted and accepts its size, its turbulence as natural and inevitable. Second, there is the New York of the commuter--the city that is devoured by locusts each day and spat out each night. Third, there is New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something. Of these trembling cities the greatest is the last--the city of final destination, the city that is a goal. It is this third city that accounts for New York’s high strung disposition, its poetical deportment, its dedication to the arts, and its incomparable achievements. Commuters give the city its tidal restlessness, natives give it solidity and continuity, but the settlers give it passion. And whether it is a farmer arriving from a small town in Mississippi to escape the indignity of being observed by her neighbors, or a boy arriving from the Corn Belt with a manuscript in his suitcase and a pain in his heart, it makes no difference: each embraces New York with the intense excitement of first love, each absorbs New York with the fresh yes of an adventurer, each generates heat and light to dwarf the Consolidated Edison Company.

Politico, not good enough. You left it to the last sentence and barely engaged with the cartoon and your lack of editorial and institutional culpability in not seeing the problem before hitting publish. an OOPS ain't good enough. I give that statement a D- (generous)
Editor's note: POLITICO publishes a weekly gallery of cartoons from cartoonists across the profession and representing a wide spectrum of political arguments.
The selection of cartoons in the popular weekly feature is designed to be representative of a broad range of opinions - not an endorsement of the views of any particular cartoon or cartoonist.
It the same time, all content on POLITICO - including from outside contributors - is subject to our editorial standards.
We removed a cartoon by independent cartoonist Sean Delonas from this week's gallery after weighing comments from readers that it did not meet our standards. Sharp arguments and provocative imagery in political cartoons are within bounds. Images that could be reasonably interpreted to rely on ethnic stereotypes or employing tropes that have been involved in historically hateful ways are not.

Also gotta love how the New York Times first insults my intelligence, and then insults the human writers for having error laden writing. All thar shows is that Cormac McCarthy probably didn’t want any copy editing.
My results from taking the quiz. I picked five times out of five the human writer:

You preferred human writing.
You're either sharply attuned to the qualities that make for great writing, or a lucky guesser. Maybe you also noticed that human writing often includes some clunky phrases, like this passage from Cormac McCarthy's
"Blood Meridian," caused by the author's aversion to punctuation: "As well ask men what they think of stone."
A.I. used to make mistakes like these. But today's systems are much more fluid than their predecessors - so fluid, in fact, that finding grammatical errors or nonstandard syntax is often a hint that you're looking at a human's prose, not a machine's.

Not arguing the morality of any of this b/c I don’t give a shit about Whole Foods & people who steal from it. But I suspect based on this that they actually can’t hold you if what you’ve taken is below a certain threshold. These are the words you should use with anyone who’s trying to detain you.
An excerpt from the article:

(The only person I encountered who had evaded Whole Foods Jail after being caught stealing was a musician we'll call Tim, who, when stopped
 at the Bowery Whole Foods, found himself shouting "Am I being detained? Am I being detained?" to a group of security officers trying to apprehend him. As if by hex, the room — or more accurately, the customer-service desk- went quiet. Then, an answer: "No." Tim walked out. He has since continued to steal from Whole Foods.)

Background on Kazemi and Kashian
Kazemi and Kashian are experienced Iran-based computer hackers who worked as contractors for an Iran-based company formerly known as Eeleyanet Gostar, and now known as Emennet Pasargad. Eeleyanet Gostar purported to provide cybersecurity services within Iran. Among other things, Eeleyanet Gostar is known to have provided services to the Iranian government, including to the Guardian Council.
As part of his role in the Voter Intimidation and Influence Campaign, Kazemi compromised computer servers that were used to send the Voter Threat Emails, drafted those emails, and compromised the systems of Media Company-1. Kashian managed the conspirators' computer infrastructure used to carry out the Voter Threat Emails campaign and he purchased social media accounts in furtherance of the Voter Intimidation and Influence Campaign.
Kazemi and Kashian are both charged with one count of conspiracy to commit computer fraud and abuse, intimidate voters, and transmit interstate threats, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison; one count of voter intimidation, which carries a maximum sentence of one year in prison; and one count of transmission of interstate threats, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. Kazemi is additionally charged with one count of unauthorized computer intrusion, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison; and one count of computer fraud, namely, knowingly damaging a protected computer, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
Concurrent with the unsealing of the indictment, the Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated Emennet Pasargad, Kazemi, Kashian, and four other Iranian nationals comprising Emennet Pasargad leadership pursuant to Executive Order 13848, "Imposing Certain Sanctions in the Event of Foreign Interference in a United States Election." Additionally, the Department of State's Rewards for Justice Program, is offering a reward of up to $10 million for information on or about the Kazemi and Kashian's activities.
The FBI's Cyber Division and Cleveland Field Office are investigating the case.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Dina McLeod and Louis A. Pellegrino and Trial Attorney Adam Small of the National Security Division's Counterintelligence and Export Control Section are prosecuting the case.
An indictment is merely an allegation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
[1] In actuality, the computer intrusions depicted in the False Election Video were simulated intrusions created by members of the conspiracy using their own server and data obtained during the State-1 exploitation. Further, the FVAP could not actually be leveraged in the manner implied by the False Election Video.

An indictment was unsealed in New York today charging two Iranian nationals for their involvement in a cyber-enabled campaign to intimidate and influence American voters, and otherwise undermine voter confidence and sow discord, in connection with the
2020 U.S. presidential election.
Kazem, aka Hosein Zamani, 24, and Sajjad Kashian (سجاد كاشيان), aka Kiarash Nabavi, 27, both of Iran, obtained confidential U.S. voter
information from at least one state election website; sent threatening email messages to intimidate and interfere with voters; created and disseminated a video containing disinformation about purported election infrastructure vulnerabilities; attempted to access, without authorization, several states' voting-related websites; and successfully gained unauthorized access to a U.S. media company's computer network that, if not for successful FBI and victim company efforts to mitigate, would have provided the conspirators another vehicle to disseminate false claims after the election.
"This indictment details how two Iran-based actors waged a targeted, coordinated campaign to erode confidence in the integrity of the U.S. electoral system and to sow discord among Americans," said Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department's National Security Division. "The allegations illustrate how foreign disinformation campaigns operate and seek to influence the American public. The Department is committed to exposing and disrupting malign foreign influence efforts using all available tools, including criminal charges."

"As alleged, Kazemi and Kashian were part of a coordinated conspiracy in which Iranian hackers sought to undermine faith and confidence in the U.S. presidential election," said U.S. Attorney Damian Williams for the Southern District of New York. "Working with others, Kazemi and Kashian accessed voter information from at least one state's voter database, threatened U.S. voters via email, and even disseminated a fictitious video that purported to depict actors fabricating overseas ballots. The United States will never tolerate any foreign actors' attempts to undermine our free and democratic elections. As a result of the charges unsealed today, and the concurrent efforts of our U.S. government partners, Kazemi and Kashian will forever look over their shoulders as we strive to bring them to justice."
"The FBI remains committed to countering malicious cyber activity targeting our democratic process," said Assistant Director Bryan Vorndran of the FBI's Cyber Division. "Working rapidly with our private sector and U.S. government partners and ahead of the election, we were able to disrupt and mitigate this malicious activity -and then to enable today's joint, sequenced operations against the adversary. Today's announcement shows what we can accomplish as a community and a country when we work together, and the FBI will continue to do its part to keep our democracy safe."
According to the allegations contained in the indictment unsealed today:
The Voter Intimidation and Influence Campaign

Starting in approximately August 2020, and proceeding until November 2020, Kazemi, Kashian, and other co-conspirators began a coordinated, campaign to undermine faith and confidence in the 2020 presidential election (the "Voter Intimidation and Influence Campaign") and otherwise sow discord within U.S. society. The Campaign had four components:
◦	In September and October 2020, members of the conspiracy conducted reconnaissance on, and attempted to compromise, approximately 11 state voter websites, including state voter registration websites and state voter information websites.
Those efforts resulted in the successful exploitation of a misconfigured computer system of a particular U.S. state ("State-1"), and the resulting unauthorized downloading of information concerning more than 100,000 of State-l's voters.
◦	In October 2020, members of the conspiracy, claiming to be a "group of Proud Boys volunteers," sent Facebook messages and emails (the "False Election Messages") to Republican Senators, Republican members of Congress, individuals associated with the presidential campaign of Donald J. Trump, White House advisors, and members of the media. The False Election Messages claimed that the Democratic Party was planning to exploit "serious security vulnerabilities" in state voter registration websites to "edit mail-in ballots or even register non-existent voters." The False Election Messages were accompanied by a video (the "False Election Video") carrying the Proud Boys logo, which purported, via simulated intrusions and the use of State 1 voter data, to depict an individual hacking into state voter websites and using stolen voter information to create fraudulent absentee ballots through the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) for military and overseas voters."

◦	Also in October 2020, the conspirators engaged in an online voter intimidation campaign involving the dissemination of a threatening message (the "Voter Threat Emails"), purporting to be from the Proud Boys, to tens of thousands of registered voters, including some voters whose information the conspiracy had obtained from State-l's website. The emails were sent to registered Democrats and threatened the recipients with physical injury if they did not change their party affiliation and vote for President Trump.
On Nov. 4, 2020, the day after the 2020 U.S. presidential election, the conspirators sought to leverage earlier September and October 2020 intrusions into an American media company's (Media Company-1) computer networks. Specifically, on that day, the conspirators attempted to use stolen credentials to again access Media Company-1's network, which would have provided them another vehicle for further disseminating false claims concerning the election through conspirator-modified or created content. However, because of an earlier FBI victim notification, Media Company-1 had by that time mitigated the conspirators' unauthorized access and these log-in attempts
