9/11 ANOTHER WORLD WAS POSSIBLE We could have responded by putting the terrorists on trial—as the overwhelming majority of our NATO allies’ population (and the rest of the world) wanted. Instead, we responded with war—just what the terrorists wanted. It made them warriors, not criminals.

So the plan is Don Jr. and Eric Trump corner the market to become the biggest drug cartel in the Western hemisphere. CIA controls production, the US military kills the competition with Hellfire missiles, CBP controls drug routes into and out of the US, and ICE raids the local distributors?

John Feeley, a career diplomat and former ambassador to Panama who resigned in protest during Trump’s first term, said that to understand what’s unfolding in Venezuela, look to the mob, not traditional foreign policy doctrines…. “They don’t actually go out and run it. They just get an envelope.”

It’s very clear that Roosevelt essentially had it right. Big government programs, big taxes on the rich. We should have been building on that legacy, but for the past 50 years, we’ve seen a regression. Business interests astroturfed the conservative movement and now, they’re infiltrated everywhere.

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I do genuinely wonder how many people think what happened with Wikipedia is that “society accepted it” rather than that they put a ton of work into making it reliable, something that is not going to make AI reliable because no technology to actually understand meaning has been or can be invented.

“Let them suffer the consequences of their actions.” I see this so much in my mentions, often from anonymous accounts who could be bots or ops for all I know, but whatever they are, they are trying to normalize a false bifurcation. If “they” are suffering, so are people you consider to be “us.”

Everyone loves Mark Cuban’s pharma company because he doesn’t profit off of cancer patients *as much* as some others but at the end of the day he’s doing it because he is profiting off of cancer patients. They literally add a 15% markup to their production cost, plus a $3 “pharmacy fee” & shipping.

To be clear, this is about getting people to quit so they can shrink the federal workforce and fuck up services that everyone depends on, from social security and Medicare to FEMA and national parks management. They want civil servants to quit. That’s the whole plan. www.npr.org/2025/01/20/n...

When you're listening do people whose only response to Trump is "he can't do that" then you're ignoring the people who are telling you that there are ways that he can do it and that you should be preparing for it. I'm just saying.

Ok I’m gonna spell the plot out. It has nothing to do with TikTok as a platform and everything to do with major corporations ignoring a national security law passed by Congress and upheld by SCOTUS because a man who isn’t even president yet told them to. That’s the plot!!!

They’re banning TikTok not because it harvests data, the same way US social media does, but because they can’t influence it’s algorithm with congressional hearings or government contracts the way they do every other tech giant. That’s it.

Apparently the Church of Scientology has sent out “volunteer ministers” in bright yellow shirts to steal tons of supplies donated to at least 1 fire recovery resource site (Santa Anita race track) to redistribute to their “low income community.” Reads like stealing stuff to use to proselytize.
