I wrote about the double-triple punishment given to an immigrant who had served his sentence for a serious crime, who was deported to a country where he was likely to be persecuted, and then quickly ejected from that country & rendered stateless.

Why did they do this?

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:
-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

Researchers are now saying that AI can find correlations between facial characteristics and success on the job.
The Economist says that corporations would have a “strong incentive” to deploy this technology when looking at applicants.

When Anthony van Dyck visited painter Sofonisba Anguissola in 1625, she was (she told him) 96 years old. He says she was still sharp as a tack! He drew her & then made this painting. Today was her day.
