We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

We are so SO MUCH TROUBLE

ust one more example of Copilot getting facts wrong
We asked Copilot() for a list of UN countries and immediately noticed something was wrong. There are 193 countries in the United Nations not 194 so where is the other country? The answer is complicated.

=COPILOT(“list of UN countries, include headings”,”show short name, full name,date of UN entry and continent”)

Copilot has added Vatican City which isn’t a member, only an “Observer” but at least there’s a note.

Even more curious is Palestine which is also an Observer member only but is listed by Copilot as a full member which joined on 29 Nov. 2012.

That means Copilot has two non-members listed and there must be one member country not listed.

If that wasn’t enough, all the Central American and Caribbean countries are lumped into the “North America” continent which isn’t what most people would expect.

Different results on the same page!
For no explained reason, “Gold Coast Airport” appears in this Copilot() result (B17 result and below) even though it’s not shown in another result on the same page (Cell B3 and the spilled cells). All it took was small and irrelevant changes in the prompt.

Influencers should put their money where their mouth is. Prove you’re appalled & regret your vote by attending protests. Organize your base. Call everything out with a megaphone. “Oopsie” doesn’t cut it. Lives are being destroyed home & abroad. They can & should do more if they’re sincere.

Jute has a reputation as a sustainable, responsible fiber choice, but if it takes more land to grow the jute than the lettuce it becomes a question of location. There are arguments to be made for lettuce grown locally in urban areas since it will not travel and store the way that jute does.

I would not have guessed this. Even using renewable energy vertical farming had a greater CO2 footprint and, even more surprisingly, a greater land use footprint. www.anthropocenemagazine.org/2025/09/are-...

Are vertical farms really the answer? A new study reveals their surprisingly large footprint

Most striking was the doubly high land-use of vertical farms compared to conventional ones, which came down to a little-known ingredient.

I suppose speculating about the lack of a BLS report is inevitable, from the "nothing to see here" crowd to the "sky is falling so they won't report" crowd. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Seems silly, tbh. It takes no genius to look around and see that the job market isn't great.

⚠️ Chinese researchers have invented bone glue that mimics how oysters stick to surfaces underwater.

The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable.
