Mark, I have no doubt that you are a partner in your brother's case and you should go to prison, you know you can not escape from me,
You know that I can determine your crime.
I do not want to bother you, I'm looking for my money, give me $ 10,000 so I can not text you again.
Mark I am an IRGC informant, I told you before, I got my master's degree from a military university affiliated with the IRGC.
Suffice it to say that you know Trump had sex with a girl under the age of 18 on your brother's island.
Trump has assassinated an IRGC commander, they hate Trump,
If I tell them they can expose Trump through you, then it's not just a matter of hacking information, even your life will be in danger.
I can send you the membership card in the IRGC in the secret telegram chat to see.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2nhudqe7uplgqvnt72p2vxnb/bafkreie7p64dgeia6lxlpqi5nb5qdyooj5n6jnlva6f6q35o56m3plpdjy@jpeg)

Further proof that I was always right saying "containment sites" don't work. Been tired of people saying 4chan and kiwifarms need to exist as containment sites to keep those people away from the rest of the internet, not realizing that they're incubation sites, not containment.

Extremely funny. The author is a New Zealander so has a finely tuned taste for wry sarcasm
Also features this banger John Updike quote: “celebrity is a mask that eats your face.” Unsurprisingly about Sheryl Sandberg.
Strong recommend. Not the exaggerated tell-all I expected. Much better.

This is also connected to that whole thing where all their fantasies of protecting their own *family* centers on enacting violence and not, like, vaccinating their kids and making sure they're prepared for a power outage etc.
Even people they know, they only think of in terms of violence.

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

i have been reading Tom Ricks’ “Fighting the Good War” which is a military analysis of the civil rights movement, and one thing that comes abundantly across is that movement leaders and ordinary people made it a practice to refuse to fall into despair and cynicism.

Bouie keeps getting slammed for these sensible and sober minded Takes because there are people who've come to see anything short of maximal Doomerism as somehow complacency - you're saying I *shouldn't* feel maximally bad!??? Yet it is obvious on reflection that maximal doomerism breeds complacency.
There are places where Trump, as president, has broad freedom of action. And there are places where Trump, as president, has been able to act unilaterally because the main point of opposition, Congress (and SCOTUS), support his program. (1/?)

they spent decades thinking they had to defend Israel against the left and they're totally unprepared for an anti-semitic assault from the far right, despite it being an entirely predictable development.
The way they just keep fumbling is amusing though. At that town hall they announced that Erika was planning to post-humously publish a book Charlie had written about his love for Israel.

Worth noting that X hasn't even made the Grok nudification feature available to paying users only. Any user, free or paid, can still use the tool on Grok's dedicated site; the bit that's behind the paywall is specifically being able to tweet @-grok to generate pics
Scathing words from No 10 on X making the Grok image tool available only to paying users: “That simply turns an AI feature that allows the creation of unlawful images into a premium service. It's not a solution. In fact, it's insulting to victims of misogyny and sexual violence."

This is a worst case scenario. It's as likely that Trump is just bluffing or does a minor hit that doesn't change much in Caracas
But that what were once considered wildly scifi scenarios for the whole Western Hemisphere are becoming plausible should profoundly worry the EU and the wider world too

Just so its clear: there's a blatant reason the chatbot gets applied to climate investments and not to, say, tech or real estate or finance.
You apply the slopbot when you don't care about outcome quality and want to minimise cost. NBIM doesn't care about taking good climate investment actions.
