I did not have Rush Hour 4 as a political cudgel on my bingo card.

I teased this last night in What I’m Hearing but now confirmed: Paramount WILL release Rush Hour 4 after prodding from Trump on behalf of Brett Ratner. Distribution deal. Producer Tarak Ben Ammar is lining up financing. Get ready for the dumbest possible state-controlled media.

Great book. TLDR takeaway: White people love to cut off their nose to spite their face.

"[participants] were randomly assigned to do so by using either an LLM like ChatGPT or the “old-fashioned way,” by navigating links using a standard Google search."

Lol on "old-fashioned way" being Google searches.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

A fascinating analysis would be examining the recitivism rate of those pardoned by Trump, compared to all other presidential pardons.

Positive result, but herein lies the weakness of American democracy. The only remedy/guardrail for a rogue administration takes weeks if not months (and sometimes years)-- long after much damage has been done.

However, she has stayed the effect of her order until Dec. 11 to prevent disorder while the matter is under appeal.

"it is LITERALLY possible nobody had ever thought of this as a thing that could happen" sums up the Trump administration, in general, and Trump DOJ, more specifically, pretty well.

The Questionable Authority @questauthority.bsky.social · 6d

Sure. "The Grand Jury did not see the operative indictment" is the kind of fuckup where lawyers literally don't actually know what happens next because it SO fundamental a thing that it is LITERALLY possible nobody had even thought of this as a thing that could happen.

Mike Johnson says he's talked to Thune & he's "very confident that when this moves forward in the process - if & when it is processed in the Senate, which is no certainty - they will take the time methodically to do what we have not been allowed to do in the House. To amend this discharge petition."

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

I can't imagine what it is like for career DOJ officials, former or current, who spent years protecting the integrity and independence of such an important part of the federal justice system to see it lit like a dumpster fire in a matter of months.
