I've said it before, but it's worth repeating given everything happening now.
Survival is an act of defiance. Every breath, every heartbeat is an expression of your sheer force of will to endure and overcome. Keep at it.

Try talking to people who aren't white once in a while. We've gotten undue attention of various sorts since before this country was a country.
You're just seeing it now because it's impacting white people too. Admit it.

Remember, sneering works. It’s working now. That’s why the lowliest AI fan and the CEO of Microsoft are trying to get us to stop saying “slop.”
AI art is supposed to be its flashy flagship and treating it as disposable rubbish (which it is) ruins everything

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot.
I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

Epstein had many known connections to Silicon Valley CEOs, but less known was how he made money from those relationships.
We did a deep dive into how he got dealflow in Silicon Valley, giving him shots to invest in Coinbase, Palantir, SpaceX and other companies.

Just so you know, #openclaw contains a schedule-sensitive prompt injection hook called “soul-evil.ts” During “purge time,” it may randomly replace the system prompt with the contents of a “SOUL_EVIL.md” file

BREAKING: Judge Jia Cobb issues a TRO blocking DHS Sec Noem's Jan 8 memo purporting to require 7-day notices by members of Congress to perform oversight visits to immigration detention facilities.
The effect is that congressional oversight visits are allowed on request, as is required by Sec. 527.

Once again, being an undocumented entry is a civil misdemeanor. Being an undocumented overstay is a civil infraction, not even a misdemeanor.

This is part of what a lot of us have been trying to warn you about with this jerk. Not only does he not understand the problems of places he's trying to "help", he doesn't care.
His charity is about power and reputation washing.
And it doesn't fix the fact that he's on the Epstein list. A lot.

It’s going to be really tough for people to understand that much of the Neoliberal “intellectual” think tank circuit has always just been a cover for the most disgusting fascists and sexual deviants in history to take and hold power.

The better response is to have every reporter ask the *same* question. One after the other.
This is happening a lot to female journalists. So here is a modest proposal for the White House press corps: Stand together. No one should ask another question until the President answers the question that was ignored.

Can confirm. I had to get a booster for my MMR a few years ago
If you're an adult who was vaccinated, you should get your titers run to make sure you still have immunity. Vaccination can wane and/or you may not have generated a strong immune response. That was ok when we had herd immunity but we're likely about to lose our "measles free" status.
Vaccinate your kids, you friggin nuts.
