This disconnect accompanies a suspiciously steep growth curve that suggests a frightening bubble; according to some, discounting for investment in AI data centers and related infrastructure, the US economy is actually in recession, something already experienced in many states.

And the truth is being covered up again. Just like the Epstein files, any and all data related to Trumps Administration is terrible and they don't want the public to know how bad it is.

Prior to this new law, there had been increased immigration enforcement across North Carolina.

According to the Deportation Data Project, ICE arrested 1,580 people in NC for immigration-related reasons from January to July 2025.

That's a 162% increase from the same period last year.

{𝗮𝙅𝙎𝘿} My notes about the article… Claim Set House Oversight Committee Democrats released redacted emails from Epstein’s estate referencing Donald Trump.2,3 A 2011 email from Epstein to Ghislaine Maxwell claims Trump ❝spent hours❞ at Epstein’s house with a victim.1,2,3 A 2019 Epstein email asserts Trump ❝knew about the girls.❞2,3,4 Trump denies wrongdoing; the White House later called the release a smear.1,5 Corroboration & Context WaPo reported the release and quoted the 2011 ❝spent hours❞ and ❝dog that hasn’t barked❞ lines.1 Oversight Democrats posted a press release and the three redacted emails; the PDF shows the quoted language.2,3 Reuters and AP independently reported the release; AP carried a detailed White House statement disputing the narrative.4,5 Chronology & Sequence Apr. 2, 2011: Epstein emails Maxwell, naming Trump as ❝dog that hasn’t barked,❞ claiming a victim spent hours with him.3 Dec. 16, 2015: Emails with Michael Wolff discuss crafting an answer for Trump on CNN questions about Epstein.3 Jan. 31, 2019: Epstein emails Wolff, saying ❝of course he knew about the girls.❞3 Nov. 12, 2025: Oversight Democrats release the emails; coverage follows.1,2,4,5 Civics & Accountability (Power Flow) Committee Democrats released materials but are in the minority; they press DoJ for full public release of Epstein records.2 Reuters notes timing with a swearing-in expected to unlock signatures for a discharge effort on releasing files.4 DoJ/Executive branch controls law-enforcement files; Congress can apply pressure and seek votes to compel disclosure.2,4 Evidence Chain / What’s Confirmed Now The posted PDF shows redacted headers and bodies; it is presented as an estate production to Congress.3 Content is Epstein’s statements, not sworn testimony; no independent forensic authentication of headers, servers, or metadata is provided yet.2,3 White House disputes the implications and argues selective leaking; AP quotes the statement.5 Legal Baseline Emails can be investigative leads; admissibility typically requires authentication (custodian testimony or technical proof). [General principle; applied to3] The redactions obscure identities; defamation and privacy concerns constrain public attribution without corroboration.3 Risks & Trade-offs Public release without full context risks misinterpretation of cryptic phrasing and redacted identities.3 Over-classification or withholding of unclassified records can erode public trust; broad release can expose private data of third parties.2 Disagreement Radar (Fact / Interpretation / Method) Fact: Emails were released by Committee Democrats.2,3 Interpretation: ❝Spent hours❞ ≠ proof of criminal conduct; it is a claim by Epstein requiring corroboration.3 Method: Critics may argue selective disclosure; supporters argue transparency into Presidential ties necessitates release.4,5 Confidence Bands (Wed. 12-Nov-2025) High: The committee posted the press release and the three-page redacted email PDF.2,3 Medium-High: Media summary of key quotes matches the PDF images.1,4 Medium: Identity of the redacted ❝victim❞ in the 2011 email; competing characterizations exist.2,5 Low-Medium: Near-term, full public release of all Epstein-related federal records.4

For years I've reported on the tech and tools that bounty hunters have access to. I think people would be shocked it is often essentially what cops can have too, w/ less accountability
- license plate reader databases
- credit header data
- smartphone location data
www.404media.co/ice-plans-to...
As I’ve reported for years, bounty hunters, private investigators, and skip tracers all have access to powerful surveillance technology and tools. That ranges from automatic license plate reader (ALPR) databases that can easily reveal a car’s movements (and by extension, a person’s movements); the personal data related to someone’s credit report which can reveal their address; and location data harvested from smartphones. In 2019 I reported that bounty hunters were able to pay a few hundred dollars for the realtime location of someone’s phone, via location data T-Mobile, Sprint, and AT&T were selling. A private investigator source with access previously demoed the ALPR tracking tool to me and I bought the telecom location data myself.

Yes; I think the security standards for sequencing related software that is generating the data should be higher than most common web apps. The hyperbole; perhaps a valid criticisms, but perhaps that's required by a Nature family journal 😂.

The NEOM city being built in Saudi Arabia, for example, sounds very abundance-y in its aspirations to be a futuristic tech hub that is a beacon for job creation and sustainability. NEOM’s website even includes Silicon Valley’s favorite cliché: “we want to create a legacy that makes the world a better place.” But Saudi Arabia is one of the most water-stressed nations on earth and concerns have been raised that AI data centers may result in regional water scarcity. More than 21,000 workers (primarily from India, Bangladesh, and Nepal) are reported to have died working on NEOM and related projects in Saudi Arabia since 2017, with more than 20,000 indigenous people reported to have been forcibly displaced to make room for the development. Sandeep Vaheesan notes in his review of Klein and Thompson’s Abundance book that “instead of calling for steeper progressive taxation and anti-monopoly policies that would rein in the power of the affluent, Klein and Thompson focus single-mindedly on red tape.” Is NEOM the kind of “utopia” we have to look forward to in the United States if Silicon Valley is liberated from the red tape of democratic accountability and allowed to build unchecked? If so, things could get ugly. Writing about a period spanning both the industrial revolution and the fascism of the 1930s, Karl Polanyi described the social instability that arose when the excesses of capitalism were unchecked by laws designed to smooth and moderate the impact of market and technological developments.

The image displays a page from a report by Ramboll, detailing the introduction and objectives of a study commissioned by the European Commission. It outlines the context in which the study was conducted, emphasising the importance of exploring options for future development in transportation. The text is structured with headings and bullet points, highlighting various objectives and the scope of the report. Additionally, it includes a figure, mentioned as "Figure 1," which likely represents key data or findings related to the study. The layout features a clean design with the Ramboll logo at the top and structured sections, making the information accessible and easy to navigate. A graph depicting the technology readiness levels of various hypersonic components, including categories such as Infrastructure, Propulsion and Power Delivery, and Environments, with specific components like High-Speed Tube Sharing and Vacuum and Power Delivery highlighted. The readiness levels are numbered from 1 to 9, indicating varying stages of development and implementation. A colour-coded key illustrates the current status, ranging from conceptual (1) to fully developed and operational (9). The accompanying text elaborates on the timeline for advancements in hypersonic technology, underscoring the gaps in readiness and future developmental pathways. There is a branded footer indicating "Ramboll," suggesting this is part of a comprehensive report on hypersonic technology advancements. The image contains a table detailing the proposed timeline for the implementation of regulatory frameworks influencing the development of hypogonadism treatments in the EU. It outlines various regulatory proposals, including deadlines for regulatory assessments and potential impacts on stakeholder engagement related to hypogonadism treatments. The table compares timelines for multiple phases, highlighting significant dates, regulatory bodies involved, and procedural steps required for each phase. Additionally, it notes that harmonisation efforts are ongoing, aiming to align different regulatory approaches across the EU, which may affect the speed and efficiency of drug development in this area. The image is sourced from Ramboll, indicating a structured approach to understanding regulatory changes impacting this domain. The image features a detailed diagram illustrating the structure and connectivity of a European Heritage Network, highlighting the various member states involved, including the UK, Germany, and Poland. Central to the illustration is a map showing key cities connected by lines that represent collaborative efforts among partners. Surrounding this visual are insights drawn from a workshop discussing the importance of heritage integration within the European framework. The diagram stresses the significance of collective cultural heritage as a means of fostering cooperation and understanding among European nations. Additionally, the text notes that this initiative aligns with broader efforts under the European Union’s cultural agenda, aiming to strengthen shared heritage and collaboration across borders.

“If you want to know how a model will behave, the only way of doing it is to run it,” Mensch also suggested. “You do need to have some empirical testing, what’s happening. Knowing the input data that has been used for training is not going to tell you whether your model is going to behave well in [a healthcare use-case], for instance. You don’t really care about what’s in the training data. You do care about the empirical behaviour of the model. So you don’t need knowledge of the training data. And if you had knowledge of the training data, it wouldn’t even teach you whether the model is going to behave well or not. So this is why I’m saying it’s neither necessary nor sufficient.”
