I had not previously considered that Jeff Bezos might be in the Epstein files. This decision confirms to me beyond doubt that he is
The Washington Post editorial board decided the Epstein files have “no public interest” before even seeing them. That’s a stunning position for any newsroom to take. Praising Clay Higgins as the lone ‘no’ vote, too? No wonder no one trusts legacy media. Absolutely disgusting.

And who among us has not encountered a suspiciously hot goat we should have been more careful of, I ask you?
I mean, it's just good advice.

These guys want to claim an ancient past about which they know next to nothing, assuming that it supports their ideas - which they imagine to be ancient when they are dismally modern - even though Rome was perhaps the greatest example in all history of strength through diversity.

We do need digital sovereignty in this country BUT it needs to be regulated. "Innovation" is total horseshit here because it just means "back tech corporations" and that means don't regulate.
And we need to start understanding that "AI" is such a large umbrella you might as well say "digital tech"

It's actually insane that the feds are promising to put more than double the amount of money they're putting into childcare, into AI.
Why not just set it on fire and dance around it hoping to sway the gods to our favour?

Once upon a desert sandy
As through winds the trav'ling man he
Spied the face of Ozymandy
Lying, simply lying there
Suddenly there was some writing
Pon the plinth that he was sighting
That the sand and time were blighting
Quoth the statue, "Now despair"
As through winds the trav'ling man he
Spied the face of Ozymandy
Lying, simply lying there
Suddenly there was some writing
Pon the plinth that he was sighting
That the sand and time were blighting
Quoth the statue, "Now despair"
There was an old man you could gaze
At his works in despair in a daze
If you looked upon them
And were mere mortal men
'Ozymandias mighty', it says

Lam hears "settled status" and "guaranteed by withdrawal treaty" as up for grabs:understood to be temporary "provisional arrangements" which can be transitional and unsettled if and when you want to
That is highly counterintuitive as language of 'settled', as law & as politics of Treaty guarantees.

innsmouth, rise up! from the depths of sunken r'lyeh
At a local No Kings rally near Innsmouth, Massachusetts, *every* protester showed up in an inflatable frog costume.
They must be from a different supplier than the Portland frog's costume, though. Bystanders describe the costumes as more like fish-frogs, "batrachian," with an odd, loping gait.
