What's hilarious about this entire bizarre part of the e-mails is that this could be a lie or the truth, meaning that "Bubba" could be referring to:
1. Bill Clinton
2. The son of an oil tycoon
3. A HORSE.
NEW: Mark Epstein says that the "Bubba" he joked about with his brother Jeffrey Epstein "is not, in any way, a reference to former President
Bill Clinton."

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

this goes right along with my theory that the AI obsession in *users* is often bc…

1. they were never educated (esp "ipad generation") & don't know how computers work

2. our tools and services are all SO AWFUL NOW, degraded at best, actively user-hostile at worst

I mean hell, y'all keep competing to be "tough on crime," but you won't be tough on accessories to sex trafficking minors just because...what, it's icky? Do it. That's what "tough on crime" means, in a literal sense. Sex trafficking = crime, exposing and punishing perpetrators = tough on.

Literally exactly what the Founders worried about. Exactly.
A foreign country bribed the president with a bar of gold.

Where are my Originalists at?
"It was tough to beat Apple, but the Swiss did it." said one administration official.

How the Swiss convinced Trump to drop tariffs with gifts of a Rolex desk clock and a 1 kg gold bar.

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.

The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

I cannot think of a demographic who it would be more crass and tasteless to ask for assistance with a little bit of ethnic cleansing.

As the Trump administration searches for more space to detain immigrants, it is approaching Washington tribes to see if they will participate.

I'm kind of baffled how the "moderates" have apparently all decided to turn against climate policy at once, just as China reaches green electrostate liftoff mode. I thought these people were all about National Greatness and making Hard Choices

Tyson had to do recalls for lead in the breaded chicken. Apparently mixing lead into the breading to increase the weight to sell less chicken for more money is a toxic solution.

We need food safety regardless because our food is killing us.
