The act of speaking must be painful for this man, right? Or at minimum cause him physical discomfort?

The new VERY hagriographic Michael Jackson biopic starring MJ's nephew is out at the end of the month. But back in 2004 an unauthorised and EQUALLY flattering biopic was made in Canada. Here is a clip and I promise you have NO idea where it's going. I haven't done a single edit here.

One side obsession from my research into the 1920s is the extensive network of ELECTRIC trains that used to connect cities and towns across the central Midwest called the Interurban. We had this more than a hundred years ago. The things we had and the things we lost.

Before Interstates, America Got Around on Interurbans
At the beginning of the 20th century, a network of electrified “rural trolleys” raced between small towns and cities. Their fate could offer lessons for today’s train boosters.

Israel has been dumping herbicides throughout southern Lebanon as part of a concerted ecocide campaign to render the region uninhabitable. This has been going on for months with Lebanese journalists & environmentalists regularly reporting on it. The BBC: we don’t know why the Israelis are doing it
“The purpose behind the release of herbicide on the villages remains unclear.”

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job.

Not even 20 minutes later and I guess we’re doing 50% tariffs on IKEA for some reason. He’s a man with a plan to make life more expensive and he can’t be stopped.
We will be imposing a 50% Tariff on all Kitchen Cabinets, Bathroom Vanities, and associated products, starting October 1st, 2025. Additionally, we will be charging a 30% Tariff on Upholstered Furniture. The reason for this is the large scale “FLOODING” of these products into the United States by other outside Countries. It is a very unfair practice, but we must protect, for National Security and other reasons, our Manufacturing process. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

“It depends if you look Hispanic.” From Forbes: www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...
Two weeks have passed since a Florida Highway Patrol officer arrested the Honduran immigrant client of Magdalena Cuprys of Cuprys & Associates. “He was stopped at a weigh station in Tampa because he owns a construction company, and he was required to stop for his truck to be weighed,” Cuprys told me. “The client had a valid Florida driver’s license. The patrol officer called Customs and Border Protection on him. The client called me, and the officer took the phone from him and spoke with me.”

She asked why CBP was alerted. “I was advised that the client looked Hispanic, had a Hispanic name, and now they are collaborating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and CBP, and their orders are to call CBP any time they encounter anyone they suspect is an immigrant,” said Cuprys. “I asked if they would have followed the same process if it had been me driving, and the response was it depends if you look Hispanic.”

120. Upon arrival at CECOT, the detainees were greeted by a prison official who stated,
"Welcome to CECOT. Whoever enters here doesn't leave." Plaintiff Abrego Garcia was then
forced to strip, issued prison clothing, and subjected to physical abuse including being kicked in
the legs with boots and struck on his head and arms to make him change clothes faster. His head
was shaved with a zero razor, and he was frog-marched to cell 15, being struck with wooden batons
along the way. By the following day, Plaintiff Abrego Garcia had visible bruises and lumps all over his body.

detainees were confined to metal bunks with no mattresses in an overcrowded cell with no

122. After approximately one week at CECOT, prison director Osiris Luna and other
officials separated the 21 Salvadorans who had arrived together. Twelve individuals with visible gang-related tattoos were moved to another cell, while Plaintiff Abrego Garcia remained with eight
others who, like him, upon information and belief had no gang affiliations or tattoos.
