If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

Okay, so I did it. In honor of Sandwich Guy, on what should be the last day of his trial, I figured out the chords. And so, with apologies to the late and great Bob Marley, I banged out this quick and (very) rough rendition of "I Threw the Sandwich." 🤣

PM Carney on decoupling from US: "This sort of relentless process of greater integration has reversed. That's a big change. When you have a big change like that and you had your economy oriented towards that, which ours was,some of your strengths become vulnerabilities and you have to do big things"

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing.
And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power.
When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.
