Prediction: Donald Trump's face will replace the head of the bald eagle on all government heraldry or iconography or whatever they call that stuff.

Thoughts or prayers that the WHCD "pew pew" scare is some elaborate prediction market scheme, i.e. a Trump family member betting on an assassination attempt tonight, then sneaking in a handful of snappers, pop-its, or throw downs (in their butt?), before throwing jazz hands all the way to the bank.

With everything going on right now, the Artemis II moon flyby feels like the part of the timeline where we accidentally destroy the moon.

The perfect gift for your MAGA friends or family: a pair of Florsheim Sorrento Cap Toe Oxfords, you probably can just guess the size

A manual for ICE's immigrant-targeting computer system, Palantir ELITE, was leaked today. Let's look at it, then step back to evaluate how far we've come along a dangerous road and where that road might take us. 🧵

Here is the User Guide for ELITE, the Tool Palantir Made for ICE
404 Media is publishing a version of the user guide for ELITE, which lets ICE bring up dossiers on individual people and provides a “confidence score” of their address.

Bellingcat’s contact email has always been a magnet for people with fairly unusual views; paranoid delusions, sprawling conspiracies, the works. But recently, the pattern has shifted, we’re seeing more and more emails clearly written with ChatGPT.

Prediction: Trump's Mideast peace plan will fall apart. Trump will blame the lack of recognition from the Nobel committee as the reason.

Much to my surprise, another telephone area code has covered my area for the past 12 years. You would think I would have noticed before now. Not that it matters. I know more IP addresses than phone numbers at this point. I can't remember the last time I talked on the phone.

OPINION: "If interpretation is selective—focusing on opulence while minimizing suffering—tourism then becomes a force of historical distortion," Betsy Pudliner writes.

Pro tip: If you're ever facing rabbit starvation, consider becoming a maggot rancher.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I think a Venn diagram is the wrong visualization of this. It probably doesn't matter since most people will immediately get the joke. Perhaps a flowchart / decision tree? Never forget to always second guess yourself when considering including a Venn diagram

Fingers crossed, I'll be able to stand up this Thanksgiving and say, "I'm thankful that him being a pedophile was finally too much for some people."

Can you imagine the feeling someone will get fifty years from now when they find a roll of pennies? It's almost your duty to hide at least one roll somewhere, e.g. in your attic, buried in your yard, inside of one of your patients...

Sitcom idea: the new ICE-stapo positions are filled by Medicaid recipients trying to meet their new work requirements. Hilarity ensues.

Prediction: Trump's addition of a 51st U.S. state will require a flag redesign. DJT will handle it personally because he's always been a great lover of flags.

The AI prompt that rendered the movie "The Alto Knights" probably went something like this: Deniro and Pesci together again as 1950s New York crime bosses, like Casino, but I want Deniro to play both roles. You fill in the rest with some mob stuff.

Gemini derailed our little word game today by briefly insisting that "brainstorm" has 12 letters. But AI is notoriously 6 fingered to our 5-ish. Was this an AI jibe, implying I need my fingers to count so I couldn't possibly verify anything over 10!? This may be how the war starts.

Prediction: Elon Musk will be the only human inhabitant of Mars after the entire crew of the Memeflower (his super cool spaceship) died under mysterious circumstances. Stranded on Mars, Musk tries to connect with the children he left behind on Earth by producing his own educational children's show.

Prediction: Musk will expand "cash for progeny" programs & surpass Genghis Khan's genetic legacy. "Musk mouth" will be the new Habsburg jaw. The 13/37th compromise included in the new constitution allows parents to proxy vote for children age fetus to 17. Musk singlehandedly picks the next POTUS.

Prediction: DJT will be the first co-president to exercise the pre-pardon no-backsies with double super undo protection for life or longer. The pre-pardon will be issued for clone emperor DJT who is scheduled to win the next presidential election, brought to you by Brawndo, the thirst mutilator.

The world just feels like we're living the backstory of a new Bond movie. Will SpaceX be launching rockets from the inside of a volcano or mine shaft to Musk's orbital HQ any time soon? That seems like a finale type of setting. It's all coming together.

I'm at least 5% sure that if the JFK assassination files are actually released they'll finally prove that crooked Joe Biden was the second shooter all along.

I hear rumblings of weak dissent from maga ppl. It's usually when something finally touches something they care about personally, e.g. social security, Medicaid, Ukraine, Gaza. A maga great uncle-in-law even said DJT was behaving like a Russian asset and cited all the former "witch hunt" stuff.

So much must go into making a restaurant recommendation to an extraterrestrial, but I think some enormous Vegas buffet is a solid choice. Does that make it likely that this is considered Earth food by our Galactic neighbors? Man, I bet those aliens get the shits real good, too.

Prediction: Trump will mint a 1 trillion dollar coin for some reason. There will be something outrageous about it: Trump's face, Maralago, the word "MAGA", etc. It'll probably be gold. Trump will profit from someone selling a commemorative coin based on it.

I will continue to deadname the Gulf of Mexico in support. We're all supposed to go along with this forcible transition of a body of water like it's normal? Call me a hero if you must. Lots of people are saying it.
