Trump's effort to rebrand AI as SI doesn't go far enough. It should be called Super Human Intelligence Technology. We'd get more accurate news headlines, like: "Under Trump, Government Turns to SHIT" or "SHIT Heads Visit White House"

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.

So we are now definitely including Grimsby, Stoke-on-Trent and Rhondda Fach in this project. Three more towns/areas which have seen post-industrial decline to select, one of which must be in Scotland. Any suggestions?
