This is elder abuse...it's using your relative as a carnival attraction for clout.
The comments on this are all about how sweet it is and I feel insane. Using AI to make fake memories of your grandma with dementia and telling her they happened and then filming her reaction

OK, less contentious post:
You've been placed in charge of a movie studio, and have an unlimited budget to adapt any work of your choosing that has never been made into a live-action TV series or film. What are you picking?
For me: PC Hodgell's Kencyrath Cycle and there's no close second

"It's easier to have a real discussion on the app completely overrun by Nazis, racists, and fascists" is ummm...saying A LOT about you Mark. None of it good.

No shock. This app has turned my mentions, and others, into mostly hate. But there are a few people worth connecting with
CRAZY how it's easier these days to have a real discussion on X, or threads, than on here.

When I worked in a Congressional field office we once got a "tip" from a woman that he ex-husband and the Bush admin were holding every person on MySpace prisoner at W's Texas Ranch to sell into sexual slavery and MySpace was actually the "catalogue"
Also Nixon was involved despite being dead.

So I hate to be That Guy, but we're entering into uncertain territory here with the Epstein Files, and it's more important than ever that we make sure we know all the facts before we blow things up.
I'm talking now about the "tips" that DOJ is now releasing. They sound super salacious and evil.

So the younger shooter, in a video submitted to the court, claims the shooting was aimed at the Zionist policies of Israel as a state. This is distinct from being an attack against Jewish people as a group. Once again the pro-Zionist coalition and right wing media jumped the gun and got it wrong.

And sue the University of Oklahoma where counselor? In any of the 3 districts in the state? The fix is in, the judges are ALL retarded. Then what, the 10th? It's one of the meanest circuit courts in the US.

Oh my god a barred attorney is the one claiming it’s fraud.
Dog how do you pass the bar exam and then you legitimately argue that failing to do homework and then complaining about receiving a failing grade for not doing the homework leading to the firing of a TA is fraud?????? FRAUD??????

But are they properly redacted or is it more "copy and paste into a blank word doc and the redactions disappear"

And note: I'm not saying she DEFINITEVELY has a cause of action or one where a "win" would be worth the cost and stress of such a suit. But this is ABSOLUTELY a "meet with a lawyer and see what your options might be."

Just, I'm not up to speed on the relevant statutes that would be at play (God knows I don't know Oklahoma law) but how is this not:
Intentional fraud that has significantly damages someone's future earnings?

So if I'm that TA I'm immediately demanding all consequences against be be rescinded and this student be sanctioned for academic fraud. She's admitted she didn't even read the paper she was supposed to be "reacting to."
So...just didn't do the assignment at all.

It doesn't even have to be much commentary, though there's no hard and fast rule on "how much" means "fair use." More is better.

People, I'm BEGGING you:
If you are going to share that leaked 60 minutes segment, INCLUDE SOME COMMENTARY in your post that makes it necessary for readers to have access to the full video to understand the commentary. CBS has a deep black eye over this and the odds that they'll look to punish ppl

Not sure if malicious compliance or blatant ignorance.
But I'm guessing @izzos.us and @hipcrimevocab.net will be laughing for a while over it.
And @kathryntewson.bsky.social will probably be inventing new words of profanity to describe her contempt at the ineptitude we're paying our taxes for.

So apparently there are many Epstein files on the DOJ website where you can highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it onto another document to read the redactions

Given Bill Clinton's well known political savvy it's not surprising he'd drop this on a slow news day before a holiday.
It'll get some coverage AND it's something for people to take back to their MAGA relatives going "Bill says put it all out there!"
