From what I've seen of the protests, that's gonna have to be one *massive* database.

Don't change the pdf extension on some of the Epstein files to make them viewable videos! Not only disturbing, but also exposes you to criminal prosecution, if you retain them on storage media you own.

About the Epstein File PDFs that are Actually Movies - DON'T DO IT!! DON'T VIEW THEM!
People have discovered that there are dozens - maybe hundreds or even thousands - of files in the Epstein files release that are actually videos or images, but “mislabelled” as .pdf files.

Picking on MAGA men for not realizing Marvel was "woke"? Well...

Thor: Nordic/Aryan heritage

Cap: USA #1, "Greatest Generation"

Iron Man: Techbro "visionary," shout-outs to Musk & Ellison, Christ-like sacrifice

Black Widow: Russian hotgirl kompromat agent

All of them righteous thugs.

I'm wondering what the Tarrant County results say about the new reddish districts TX, MO, and NC created with their 2025 redistricting.

I'll bet I'm not the only one wondering.

After confiscating the phone of a 16-year-old boy, it appears that ICE agents then pawned it off to make a few bucks.

I worked on a software engineering contract at PacBell in San Ramon for a few months in the early 90's. Scott Adams was still working there, though his star had definitely begun to rise, and he was beginning to see a real income from it. "Dilbert" cartoons were visible in every cubicle.

The next election won't fix everything (and might not fix anything). Prepare now for the worst. Dig in for the long haul.

I'm wondering how long we have before the billionaire-owned platforms simply refuse to share video uploaded by ordinary people, or worse, serve up a non-stop torrent of AI-generated fantasy that supports the administration's narrative.

In case you were wondering where this Administration stood on the topics of trust, safety, and moderation.

Getting in the way of their ability to manufacture truth, or exploit your user base, is now a crime your entire family will be held accountable for.
Holy shit.

Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa.

Considering the House GOP just bailed out for 5 weeks hoping Epstein will blow over, it may never even get started, but hey, it's the thought that counts, right?

Please make your senators do the right thing. I really enjoyed those few days of feeling not totally demoralized.

Whike I've enjoyed the work of Gov. Newsome's crack social media trolling team in the past, I hope they don't lower themselves to responding to the poo-bomb video in kind.

It seems weird to me that Trump disliked the Time cover because of neck folds. I disliked it because it made him look serious and statesmanlike, instead of how he usually comes across: deranged, incoherent, and bloated, with dandelion-fluff hair and splotchy, poorly-applied orange makeup.
