The Ellisons want Trump’s support for their hostile takeover of Warner Bros.
But Trump has been unhappy with recent episodes of 60 Minutes — hence the CECOT segment removal.
Business leaders and the press surrendering to Trump is a danger to us all.
A tyrant can't be appeased.

As I’ve said, A.I. isn’t going to destroy humanity by taking over Strategic Command and launching nukes, but by drowning us in bullshit.
As an author, I’ve already gotten multiple emails from people asking me for fake articles and books that I’ve supposedly written, because chatbots have told them fake references. I *cannot imagine* the frustration and time waste for librarians and especially ILL library professionals right now.

The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information.
They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift.

Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

A guy just told me “it’s a woman’s job to have babies” and when I informed him “even if that is true, which it is not, it’s not any woman’s job to have babies with YOU” he lost his entire mind. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone turn quite that shade of purple before.
