The first rule of plutocrat AI competitions is 1. name your new company with a classical allusion or Tolkien reference. I see Bezos went with the former. How… great.

If the too-redacted Epstein files are released, I would like to believe somebody has the unredacted files and is willing to earn the thanks of a grateful nation…
(Also hoping for an inadequate redaction.)

@languagedoodad.bsky.social If/when I finish learning Welsh, I was thinking about tackling Mandarin. But I’m wondering is Aymara as groovy as the google entries suggest? Something about the way it handles “truth values”…And would it be fun at parties?

Despair is useless. As is an attempt to retreat totally into a sphere of private happiness.

US military action against Venezuela to satisfy Trump’s malignant narcissism and distract from the the Epstein files—invites a debacle as bad as the Vietnam War—or worse.

Overt crimes against humanity/war crimes in our name appear to be looming.
A quarter of the entire deployed US Navy is now stationed in the Caribbean.
That goes way beyond frighteners.

Another thought that can make you bolt upright from sleep: Do JD and the dweebs in Trump’s cabinet have what it takes to 25th amendment the old fart if he decides he wants to nuke somebody for, Idk, dissing him?

The vast & monstrous political and financial corruption of the Trump Administratiin requires, it seems to me, an army of like-minded toadies to keep the operation aloft. I wonder if a toady-shortage is in the making.

This proposed “investigation” is merely an attempt to cherry pick info from the Epstein files so that only info unfavorable to Trump’s enemies becomes public.

Saw a news report that even though Epstein was highly critical of Trump, he was solicitous of him as a Prez candidate. Well, duh. Surely Eppie thought about what Trump as Prez could do for him, Epstein.

I guess the WH figures they’ve got some pressure points they can press when it comes to Boebert & her Epstein vote. Her bat shit crazy may serve her well in this case. Or not.

Central Market bakery makes pretty good pies, but why the overemphasis on crusts? And another thing, watching Snow Girl, series 2. It’s gripping but the reliance on flashbacks is a bit much. Universe: kindly repair this stuff. And do something about this aging shit. (Er, no. Not that).

Even if the House and Senate vote to release the Epstein files, I can see the WH not budging. Even so, such resistance would seem to be nearly as deadly in political terms as the actual release. Even “nearly as deadly” in the context of all the other Trumpian bullshit is pretty damned deadly.

So when Trump is inconvenienced or displeased with as staff, but not terminally so, he gives them an ambassadorship to, um, ship them off.
