I would rather have the #SouthPark guys running the country on acid than Trump and Vance.

This is an insane story start to finish. $65k a year "AI school" heavily surveils students, generates nonsensical questions that "does more harm than good," scrapes from competitors. Stores hours of video of children insecurely. Lots more:

Artūras Tamašauskas : Steampunk Mole, 2017

34 x 35 x 40 cm
Sculpture, Metals / Aluminium on Aluminium

Materials and further info listed in the alt text 👇
Once upon a time, a mole lived and he had his own mole hole (a house). It was his portable property that could stand anywhere and no land tax had to be paid for this because it was a mole, spectacled and armed, with exclusive length nails which helped him to dig the longest tunnel with very little effort. Of course, he didn‘t know anything about the secret exit. A caterpillar was running out through it as soon as he started feeling danger. It always happened but as soon as it gets to know about it, that will end or maybe they‘ll become friends… That‘s the story that was born in my head while I was turning over the corpse of vacuum cleaner in my hands. Materials : A mole hole is the corps of an old vacuum cleaner; A body is a corps of a truck lamp, the part of illuminator and an aluminum plate; Mustache is a steel wire; Hands are an aluminum 8 mm wire, 12 mm aluminum tubes and 2 plates; Glasses are the part of old theatre binoculars; A spotlight is a luminaire hood and a car antenna tip. A MOLE HOLE. This portable property belongs to a mole until the end of his life.

LEFT: Someone who appears in the Epstein files over a million times. Epstein called him his "best friend."

RIGHT: Someone never mentioned in the Epstein files—even once. And she never met him.

So guess which one is being hauled before our corrupt, cover-upping Congress to testify about Epstein.

Veterans slam new VA rule for determining disability ratings
The new rule states that a disability level must be based on how well a veteran functions while on medication and not on the underlying impairment.

Tomorrow, the Oversight Committee will have the opportunity to question Les Wexner about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Survivors told us from day one: follow the money. That is exactly what we intend to do.

Romania has decoupled economic growth from pollution faster than anywhere else in EU. Its net greenhouse gas emissions intensity fell 88% between 1990 & 2023, so each euro’s worth of economic activity heats planet 10 times less. Emissions have plunged by 75%. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
‘The trend is irreversible’: has Romania shattered the link between economic growth and high emissions?
Emissions have plunged 75% since communist times in the birthplace of big oil – but for some the transition has been brutal

What's the use of democracy if the media is allowed to lie to the public and therefore influence their voting? We have churches that do not pay taxes directly influencing people's votes. And this is what democracy is. It's bullshit. It doesn't work like we're supposed to believe.

CBS pulling @jamestalarico.bsky.social’s interview from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is alarming and nothing short of censorship. Full breakdown on my Substack page (link below).

CBS is Trump TV. Less than two months after CBS News suddenly pulled a report on the regime’s prison camps, CBS lawyers told Stephen Colbert that he couldn’t air an interview with a Texas Democratic candidate.

This is what complicity looks like.
Stephen Colbert says CBS didn't air interview out of fear of FCC
Colbert kicked off Monday's episode of "The Late Show" by saying that the network's lawyers told him he could not have Texas state Rep. James Talarico on the broadcast.

This weird and wonderful Greek amphoriskos (flask) depicts a bird-man, but the explanation is astonishing. It almost certainly relates to Aristophanes' famous comedy 'The Birds' (first produced 415/414 BCE) and may represent a costume worn by members of the chorus. 🏺 #ancientbluesky

This extraordinary vase of a bird-man, of high technical quality, is unique among the examples of Attic black-glazed pottery known today. It almost certainly relates to Aristophanes' well-known comedy The Birds (first produced in 415/414 B.C.) and may represent the costume that would have been worn by members of the chorus in the fifth century B.C. The body of the bird-man is upright, with human legs tucked under, and human arms wrapped around the bird body's overstuffed stomach. The head is a bird, except for somewhat human ears. The flared spout almost looks like a hat on top of the head of the bird-man, with a handle on either side, attached to the spout and to the feathered shoulders of the bird body. A little tiered circular stand is at the bottom.
