🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

The Senate can pass a bill to regulate college sports, but they can't pass bills to lower the price of gas, groceries, or healthcare. They can't rein in Trump's thirst for war in Iran or trade wars with Canada, but they can tell college athletes how often they're allowed to transfer. Cool.

A key component of the Cambridge Analytica outrage was your friends subjecting you to data theft without your consent or knowledge. Facebook is running the same playbook on your text messages. Even if you’re not on Meta properties, they’re ingesting your interactions.
Aten installed Muse on both his iPhone and a Mac mini that he uses to test out various Al agents and tech. It took Meta a single day to begin "helpfully" pitching article ideas based on texts he'd sent to a podcast co-host.
When he asked Muse how it got the information, it said that it read banners from incoming texts. But that's not true, either.
After doing a little digging, Aten says Muse synced 187,000 lines from his Messages database, despite Full Disk Access being Off.Unless Aten is the most popular person on the face of the planet, I sincerely doubt he'd gotten 187,000 lines of text in roughly 24 hours. What happened is that, without permission, Muse went into the app and downloaded the information.
He had not given Muse permission to access Messages, and full disk access was not enabled. It just went ahead and uploaded those texts anyway.
Muse can take "unexpected actions" indeed.

Economic harm imposed on Cuba by decades of US sanctions: $180 billion. Add in Haiti, pretty much all of Central America and it would seem that it sucks to have America as a neighbour. Like living next to Russia but with better fast food.

Once again, I gotta say: you cannot treat anything you’re feeding into an AI as anonymous. There are enormous ethics implications for, e.g. referees who are clearly uploading others’ unpublished papers without consent, let alone health care professionals or law enforcement

Officially, Canada has no solitary confinement. But we found it uses confinement that mirrors solitary as defined under international rules on the most vulnerable prisoners - and it's using it more. ijb.utoronto.ca/news/hidden-...

Hidden solitary: Canada's growing use of prison isolation - Investigative Journalism Bureau
New data obtained by the IJB shows a dramatic rise in the use of observation and dry cells—a form of hidden solitary confinement in Canadian prisons that disproportionately impacts Indigenous inmates.

Over the ten years, Premier Smith claims Alberta faced a hostile federal government, oil and gas production doubled, and Ottawa poured tens of billions into energy infrastructure. The tolerance of her big lie is almost as remarkable as the lie itself. ow.ly/Fl7950ZRRaq
On the left: a photograph of Alberta’s flag, which features the provincial shield of arms, waving in front of the Alberta Legislature building in Edmonton. On the right: text that reads “Danielle Smith has turned western grievance into a national unity crisis.”

“Hajdu says there are times in negotiations when employers or unions refuse to bargain in good faith and instead wait for the government to intervene.” Pretty much every time the government has intervened it has been because the employers are doing this. Both sidesing it is so fucking dishonest.
