TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

i fear the only reason for the about-face on the Epstein files being released, is that the tireless work of removing, not redacting, but removing all references to Trump is now complete.
it won't matter anyway. it's a cult. they will find no fault. there is no red line.

how obscene is $1 Trillion?
w/ $1M you could live well on $100K/yr for 10 yrs
w/ $100M you could spend $5M/yr for 20 yrs
w/ $1B you could spend $1M/mo for 83 yrs
w/ $100B you could spend $1M/day for 274 yrs
w/ $1T you could spend $50K/min for 38 yrs
no one needs $1T. it's all a pissing contest!

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:
He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group.
There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi.
He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism.

The regime seized military control of the capital supported by units from regions loyal to the regime & announced that it will deploy military forces to regions controlled by opponents & oppressed groups.
I'm FAR from the 1st person to say this, but are we all clear now about what's happening?

It's so weird how LLMs know so much about things I don't know anything about, and yet make fundamental and basic errors about things I do know anything about. Oh well, I'm sure that's a coincidence.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.
