WaPo is on a heater this morning. Staff cuts a little too close to the bone, or accidentally transcribed marching orders directly from Russia?
Correction: A previous version of this post misidentified the South Caucasus as belonging to Russia. The region, made up of territory in Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan, is not part of Russia. We deleted the previous post.

Virginia Giuffre's original draft (in the Epstein files) is way more engaging than the book that was eventually published. She is a hugely significant figure in U.S. history and I hope will be remembered with care and accuracy.

One of my more technocratic opinions is that every urban dog should have its DNA stored in a public database and if dog poop is found you should be given a ticket. We will also use this to find lost dogs.
the amount of dog poop being exposed by the melting snow is ludicrous. I actually have to pay _more_ attention walking around my neighborhood now than I had to when it was covered in snow

The idea that women cant do certain things or hold certain jobs etc. is an utterly foreign concept to my sons. 404 error in my oldest son brain when I told him that some people dont think girls are smart enough to do things boys can. I got a 30 min presentation about all the things his mom can do.

This is a hill I'll die on: Having good female role models is just as important for a boys' development as having good male ones.

Not sure why Pamela Jo thinks this is sick burn material. Congresswoman Jayapal is searching the horrible sh*t that's actually in the files, and the email subject lines show u just how revolting the people Pamela Jo is protecting actually are.
"It is totally inappropriate and against the separations of powers for the DOJ to surveil us as we search the Epstein files. (US Attorney General) Bondi showed up today with a burn book that held a printed search history of exactly what emails I searched." - Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA).

Legal status doesn’t matter: if you exceed ICE’s melanin threshold, you get snatched. It is ethnic cleansing. There is no other word for it.
The news has shown you video of these often violent detentions. What you don’t see is what happens to these individuals after.

Definitely agree. I also think they've already been at work on this front, including attempting to force AI into everything.
My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse

Lock Burgum in a room with ten cubic feet of dry ice and activate the sprinkler system - then ask him an hour later if he thinks CO2 is a pollutant.
Burgum: "CO2 was never a pollutant. When we breathe, we emit CO2. Plants need CO2 to survive and grow. They thrive with more CO2. So the whole endangerment thing opens up an opportunity for the revival of clean, beautiful, American coal."

Oversight indeed
CNN confirms what MSNBC reported live a few hours ago: DOJ is surveilling Dem lawmakers when they go to the DOJ to search unredacted Epstein files.
CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"
