This series made me love The Punisher again. Instead of the vigilante sadistic fantasy, it focuses on the real tragedy of sending people to war and turning them into killing machines in the name of patriotism, only to act bewildered when they come back and can't just simply turn it off.

Trump wouldn't order flags to fly at half staff for John McCain until public pressure became overwhelming.
It's extremely rare for flags to be flown half staff to mourn individuals who are not in the US Gov, but it was done for people like: MLK, Mandela, Popes JPII & Francis...and Charlie Kirk. 😐

I was immediately captivated by Yuval Noah Harari's Sapiens. For anyone that finds this interesting, I dug in a little bit on the Species Problem and why Sapiens and Neanderthals are considered different species despite evidence of hybridization: www.perplexity.ai/search/is-yu...

Three innocent children were taken by ICE - not for crimes, but as victims of the Trump regimes ethnic cleansing. Now they sit in a detention center, terrified and alone. No due process, no answers. Just desks still empty, teachers still waiting, classmates still asking why, & so much heartache.
Message from the Sackets Harbor Principal As the principal of these students, I need to speak plainly. Our three students who were taken by ICE were doing everything right. They had declared themselves to immigration judges, attended court on their assigned dates, and were following the legal process. They are not criminals. They have no ties to any criminal activity. They are loved in their classrooms. Their family has worked at the nearby "Old McDonald's" petting zoo and dairy farm for 15 years. They lived in a house on the same road as a home ICE had a warrant for. The fact that ICE went door to door is unfathomable. The fact that our students were handcuffed and put into the same van as the alleged criminal from down the street is unconscionable. When I think of my third grader's experience, my stomach twists and it is hard to breathe. We are in shock-and it is that shared shock that has unified our community in the call for our students' release. We are in direct communication with our students. Let me be clear: they are not "being medically evaluated." They are not being "questioned as potential victims." Calling a detention center by another name does not change what it is. We deserve better than spin and misinformation. My teachers and my students are already hurting. Please, think about how long every hour feels for a third grader in a detention center. The wait had already been too long a week ago. I have no other agenda. Please release my students and their mother back to our community. Jaime Cook Prek-12 Principal Sackets Harbor, NY

Now I feel dumb because it just dawned on me that Republicans used Zolensky as an avatar to say everything they wanted to say to Elon about his attire and respecting the President.

Remember when the WH insisted that global HIV prevention & treatment was exempt from the freeze? When it seemed MAYBE they understood that cutting off medicine could put the entire planet at risk of drug resistant HIV strains?

Wrong. Elon Musk’s interns were simply shutting payments off manually.

NEW: Google used to warn you when you were seeing low-quality search results. Then, in the weeks leading up to the 2024 election, the company quietly turned that warning off www.platformer.news/google-data-...
The researchers collected their first data in October 2023 and March 2024. Initially, they were struck by how inconsistently Google showed its warnings. A deep learning model they built to analyze the queries suggested that the warnings should have appeared between 29 and 58 times as often as they did in practice. For motivated conspiracy peddlers, they were easy to evade: just adding quotation marks or a single letter to a query was typically enough to make the banner disappear. The researchers were beginning to collect additional data last September when they discovered something unexpected: Google had stopped showing low-quality banners entirely, weeks before early voting began, without disclosing it.

I told my wife that she should be a natural at AI. It's basically being good at bossing someone around and then complaining that they didn't do the thing the way that you wanted it done. #TalesFromTheCouch
