My "ICE is a legitimate law enforcement agency" statement has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my statement.
Homan: "ICE is a legitimate federal law enforcement agency. We're not out scouring the streets to disappear people or deny people their civil rights or due process."

Excuse me, what the fuck?
According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

Frost on seeing the "unredacted" Epstein files: A few takeaways. Number one, there's a lot of documents that are still redacted. When I asked the DOJ about it, they said they received it that way, which means that Kash FBI kept them redacted when they gave it to the DOJ, which is interesting...

Sam Altman is one of the people I was talking about who is actively participating in devaluing labor. He is an active collaborator with the billionaires who want to use this tech to commodify all human activity to enrich themselves. No this is not hyperbole. I mean it quite literally.

Does this curse also count for the tech bros who illegally used books written by me and countless others to help AI annihilate the world? I fucking hope so.
When Lucy from Compass Books in Dartmouth, Devon, was victim to shoplifting people told her to install CCTV. Instead she put this ancient book thief curse on the wall from the Monastery of San Pedro in Barcelona so book stealers would be consumed by "the flames of hell" with "their members blasted".

I do think "tech bro" is an overused term but I saw a tech bro at a big evil tech company talking about how much he hated it when people called him that and ever since then I make a point of using it whenever at all relevant.

what makes something "vulnerable to AI" is not the capacity of machines but the credulity of management.
Of course, it is also true that historians jobs may in practice be vulnerable to AI, because a lot of people who control the money for historian jobs probably haven’t thought much about where history comes from, either.
