"Theory" is not a gift from the thinking society to those pseudo-researchers who strive to recycle commonplaces. Good theory invites us to think, to question it, to find flaws in what it proposes. To repeat the trite, let's rather stay at home.

So, China and Europe have AI that manages transportation grids and supply chains. Canada has AI that detects diseases and cancer. The US has AI that makes shitty pictures and plagiarizes books. Musk's AI makes dirty pictures of women and child porn.

The 'Doomsday Clock' is now 85 seconds to midnight — the closest it's ever been. What scientists say this means for humanity and how the time is determined.
The clock is a symbolic way to show the public how close scientists believe the world is to a human-made apocalypse.

The Epstein Question No One Will Answer
New documents reveal how Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyers quietly pressed the CIA and NSA for records and why America’s intelligence agencies still won’t say whether the disgraced financier had ties.

This is what “cancel culture” actually looks like: corporate media pre-emptively censoring a comedian out of fear of a partisan FCC chair. State power doesn’t need bans when intimidation does the job. Colbert saying it anyway is what free speech looks like under pressure.
NEWS: CBS blocked Stephen Colbert from airing an interview with Texas State Rep. James Talarico and ordered him not to mention the cancellation over fear of FCC chair Brendan Carr.
Colbert went on air and revealed it anyway.

When a network kills a comedian’s interview because regulators might get mad, that’s not neutrality, it’s capture. If power decides what gets aired, journalism becomes risk management. CBS didn’t just blink, it bowed.

Anybody publicly associated with donald j trump supports pedophilia. Specifically, rape and human trafficking of girls and boys under the age of consent. As well as associated torture and murder of humans to enable the sexual exploitation of children. Potential cannibalism too, pending more info.

There was a moment to walk away. That moment is gone. Defending him now isn’t confusion or loyalty, it’s consent. You’re not misunderstood, you’re aligned. History doesn’t excuse those who shield power from its crimes.

Trump lashes out at Hillary Clinton after she accuses his administration of slow-walking the Epstein files. He claims “exoneration,” offers no transparency. Same pattern as ever: deflect, insult, and make secrecy sound like vindication.

This is what happens when you put a vindictive authoritarian in charge of government agencies.
Using the FCC to intimidate networks into suppressing political opponents' speech isn't "regulation"—it's straight-up retaliation and abuse of power. Disgraceful.
