Trump is a living example that a person can be the greatest con man of all time, while simultaneously being the easiest mark of all time.
Oh, look…

Community Notes contributions on the upswing again. This is evidence that community fact-checking is highly active, but largely ineffective at producing consensus or impact… What hasn’t changed is that only 11.0% of proposed notes are visible on X, while 89.0% are not. notetracker.socialmedialab.ca

None of the big AI labs are your friends so don’t get too excited, but the Pentagon is, according to an anonymously sourced Axios story, threatening to quit using Anthropic AI tools because of the company’s “insistence on maintaining some limitations on how the military uses its models.”

That the Israeli Intelligence Service had all the information in the Epstein Files on the business and political leaders who put their country’s interests second to Netanyahu’s interests isn’t a coincidence.

The problem with a hollowed out DOJ that can't really function and an Executive Branch that relies on paramilitary thugs with a budget in the billions is this:
When the rule of law no longer functions the rule of force takes it's place. People with guns are then calling the shots. Democracy is gone.

Unlike the GOP, today I will not be at church pretending to be a follower of Christ while simultaneously cheering for Nazis terrorizing immigrants and U.S. communities nor will I be sitting in the pews doubling down on my blind faith to a kid raping, narcopathic president.

This is wild. Russian government using AI to generate fake YouTube videos where well known Ukrainian supporters & influencers make pro-Putin content.
Expect much more of this. Especially in the run up to the midterms-

I don't normally keep up with what the Army is reading these days, but I happened to click on this official recommended reading list for junior officers and it's appalling. 53 of 66 titles are corporate-style self-help books. This is a great way to hollow out and dumb down your military.

When your name shows up over a million times in the Epstein files and you’ve spent thirteen months trying to keep them hidden, you can’t call it a Democratic hoax anymore. Maybe lose the smug act, JD, even MAGA isn’t buying it.
