She doesn’t even try to hide that she’s a spokesperson for Putin serving in the US Congress. Post after post, day after day, echoing Russian propaganda. Truly sad that people in Pinellas County have chosen this as their representation.

"She’s not trying to rebuild her reputation as a journalist—she’s building a different kind of brand entirely, one where being interesting matters more than being ethical, where attention is the only currency that still spends."

you do have to do it in a couple of places but this tutorial makes it easy to go uncheck the boxes that otherwise lets Google's AI read all your shit. or move everything over to protonmail but moving everything over is a giant thing I know.
Google has started automatically opting you in to let it read your stuff to train AI. You need to turn this off in SEVERAL places in your settings (not just for Gmail), if you want to maintain privacy and confidentiality.

The WSJ used the words "anti woke crusader" in the second graf of an article to describe the new EIC of CBS News. A job that used to be important and serious has become a punchline. We have no real newspapers. Just a bunch of losers sucking each other off in a circle

it won't get as much attention because the U.S. press doesn't care about infrastructure, but the Trump admin is also threatening to withhold billions of dollars in infrastructure bill broadband grants if states pass laws focused on making broadband affordable or try to enforce net neutrality
Yesterday, an Executive Order designed to prevent states from regulating AI within their own borders was leaked. If signed, this Executive Order would establish an AI litigation “task force” at the Justice Department to threaten, harass, & sue states that pass any bill deemed “unlawful.”

Great ancillary benefit of our tech overlords creating a dystopic tech world overrun with A.I. defecated simulacra.
The disruption they manufactured generates a need for technologies to detect technologically crafted unreality.

We are a blink away from Blade Runner and the Void-Kampf test.

When Musk's Grok repeats one of the central lies of the Holocaust deniers, it then doubles down [see replies] and insists that a) Holocaust denial is free speech and b) it has an evidentiary basis.

This is where we are.

Floating the idea for the Theft-Tech two step to prepare the public.
1. Fleece investors with endless A.I. hype narrative to cause bubble
2. Fleece taxpayers with bailout from government you bought using capital from step 1 after the bubble bursts
BBC: Pichai said while AI investment had been an “‘extraordinary moment’, there was some ‘irrationality’ ..

“Asked whether Google would be immune to the impact of the AI bubble bursting, Mr Pichai said .. ‘I think no company is going to be immune, including us.’”

Turns out that the $16MM payoff ABC made to Trump bought them only a few months' reprieve. Weird how that happens.
Trump in response to an Epstein question: "ABC, your company, your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should take a look at that."

53% of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to American democracy.

Meanwhile, just 100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion on federal elections last year — a 160-fold increase since Citizens United.

The people know: billionaires should not be able to buy our elections.
