Trump doesn’t have to call on House Republican to vote to release the file.
Trump can order Bondi and Patel to release the files. Tomorrow.
The question is, has he already ordered Bondi and Patel to destroy some of the files after they went through them months ago.

Trump: "House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide."

Here's a video from a programmer who has used AI for coding tasks for a year or so. Initially he thought it was pretty magical, and he still is very happy to use it for some kinds of tasks. But he found that using it for all coding was just burning him out:

A nicely illustrative view of how significant *current* AI is in the history of technology. Not what we're supposed to imagine as what AI will be in 100 years, but the current LLM-based AI which is what companies are actually promoting right now.

It's appalling what's happening in Sudan, and has been happening for a long time. It's also sad that so few people seem to care.

This is a cool Bluesky account to follow, digging up interesting history of the etymology of various english words.
You didn’t hear this from us, but the Old English word 'sibb' meant “related by blood.”
This is where we get the 'sibling.'
And 'godsibb' essentially meant “godparent.”
Over time, it came to mean "close friend."
Now it is something we share w/ close friends...
'gossip.'

Final reminder: if you want any of the @Babylon5 books published by B5books.com this is your last chance before the company goes away in five days. You may also want to spread the word to any B5 fan groups that might not have already heard it so everyone has a chance.
PART ONE
Twenty years ago, publishing entrepreneur Jaclyn Easton came to me with a risky but innovative idea: b5books.com, a publishing entity built around one show, Babylon 5, its participants and fans. This wouldn’t be what was usually done, aftermarket making-of books --
