What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

So this happened at my company this week:

The Powers That Be decided that we all needed (17 modules!) of cyber-security training to help recognize fraudulent/scamm-y things created with AI that may be sent to us, a whole “threat of AI,” training course.

All 17 modules were created…with AI. 🙄

lol gentle reminder that DEI is not illegal. Supporting marginalized groups is not illegal. Anyone reneging on support is making a CHOICE to do so.

You know what would *really* be helpful here? If these folks could call upon a state or city cop specifically trained to ensure due process for residents being accosted by ICE or ICE copycat criminals.

CoachN @coachn.bsky.social · 14d

I’ll reiterate the fact that I have gone to my County board demanding they prepare our police to counter DHS & copycat criminality.

If you live in a blue city or state, I highly recommend you do as well as there is NO time to lose./1

I’m just going to keep banging this drum until I see real action from Mayors and Governors.

Homan is telegraphing the regime’s battle plan for this “soft civil war.” Counties, cities, and states have “soldiers” too — they’re called the police.

DHS overreach & criminal copycats are a crime wave.

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

Tiger hunting is hard, but in Wuhan,China it’s extra tough. Sabalenka(Tiger) had never lost a match here. But Jessica Pegula had enough. Just. Great win. Great match.

Why does this tax exile 'foreigner' think our government should discuss policy with him? He should feck off back to Monaco. Made his choice based on his own interest, to avoid tax. Anything he has to say will be only in his own interests, again.

It's really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it's clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it's all "please don't forget you have to feed your troops" and "if someone asks if you're going to attack them consider lying about it"

Octavia Butler quote:

“Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.”

The main issue is that Epstein’s co-abusers are still on the loose and likely still abusing women and girls. For some reason our “justice” department couldn’t care less. One of them is the US president but It makes no difference to the cult, they would hand over their daughters to Trump.

Centrism is a cult, just as surely as MAGA, and a self-perception as an embattled, persecuted minority is central to how cults work.

Something fundamental has broken in the brains of elites. No matter how many op-eds they read, write and publish denouncing identity politics, they still think it's a heterodox viewpoint you can't find anywhere.

I had a liberal centrist — a professional — once tell me that they engage with more diversity at a Bari Weiss dinner party than they do in any mainstream media event.

I mention this because, just as it is true in politics at the moment, some of the calls are coming from inside the house.

Valetin Vacherot is the 1st qualifier/lucky loser into the final of an ATP Masters tournament since Jan-Lennard Struff at Madrid 2023 (890 days). It was the shortest gap between qualifiers/lucky losers reaching ATP Masters finals since 686 days between Stuttgart 2005 and Miami 2007
