As public opinion turns, reports from within Mount Doom suggest Orc Lieutenant Gothmog is to be relieved of command and withdrawn from Gondor back to Minas Morgul where he is expected to soon retire.
Sauron hopes this ends the matter and the Fellowship will now go home and stop blowing whistles.

The position coming out of Washington today is that Greenland is critically exposed to threats from Russia and China
And also that any other country that tries to improve Greenland's security will face tariffs

If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

Young Europeans will make Europe more united!
For them, a European Army is more attractive than national armies or even NATO.
That is what today’s politicians need to have in mind!

"European civilisation," btw, is an utterly meaningless phrase until the Schuman Declaration. No real Europe existed until then, that was the first time something like "Europe" was given meaningful political and therefore cultural form.

PS: But in the NSS there is reason for „great optimism“ because the patriotic parties of Europe will save Europe. So don‘t you despair, my fellow European!

The President sees a bad jobs report, and responds by getting rid of the person in charge of the statistics. This is how America becomes a third-rate country.
BREAKING: President Trump fires the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics hours after weak jobs report.

It’s a golden age for Cassandras.
My prediction is that in that scenario, he blames the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which puts out employment data. Calls them corrupt, run by Democrats, out to get him. Fires people there, insists their numbers cannot be trusted, White House puts out its own fictitious data to make Trump look good

Restaurants are not always owned by evil corporations, they are more often owned by people who are in the process of making the worst financial decision of their life.
Restaurants are in fact one of the businesses statistically *least* likely to be owned by a giant evil corporation
it’s sad how a few decades of mass corporate chain restaurant proliferation means that a lot of Americans today seem genuinely unfamiliar with the concept of “independent restaurants”
i see people who assume all restaurants are owned by gigantic evil corporations and uh, no, that is not true

Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you
