the least shocking thing in the epstein files that wont get enough attention. police regularly arrest and charge victims to coerce them into participating, often jailing them in conditions that are worse.
jesus the Palm Beach Police really sought arrest warrants against underage Epstein victims for coming forward and cooperating, and (purported) admitting to crimes, and it caused the victims to become uncooperative with the federal investigation
![. . . very cooperative, but the police at that point had to let [redacted] know that what she had done that she could be facing charges.
Q And that was after they had told her earlier that she didn't need an attorney present, correct?
A Exactly.
Q Okay. So this happens to her with the Palm Beach Police Department and did the Palm Beach Police actually present or propose charging [redacted]?
A They did get a probable cause affidavit against [redacted].
Q And is that why Ms. [redacted] and her attorney were concerned about her testimony here?
A Yes.
Q Now was a subpoena issued for Ms. [redacted] on behalf of this grand jury?
A Yes, it was.
Q And before Ms. [redacted] would comply with that, did she -- did her attorney request some sort of order?
A Yes.
Q And what did he ask for?
A He asked for immunity for [redacted].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eoss3vmzem55cm5kuddhdmwn/bafkreiariijffjjrgfh26o22jjr76pwprinvnbpkcho5lyi2sucfbqlooy@jpeg)

Great read; everything is corrupt
MLB's tech regulation plans give itself full control over who can do business with baseball.
And I learned an AI scouting firm — founded by the uncle of an exec in Rob Manfred’s inner circle — may win a bid.
Team sources and antitrust experts told me it creates a conflict of interest.

NEW from me:
MLB Teams Fear League Will Pick Winners and Losers in Tech
The league is taking control of the choosing of tech partners, rather than leaving it up to teams; one firm under consideration was founded by a top MLB exec’s uncle.

Can't sue AI for libel/slander oops 🤷♂️ too bad so sad, it's fine. If AI gets someone to kill themselves it's fine, all that matters is feeding the machine that will put everybody out of work so we can have even more of all the money. You can't make a fake omelette without breaking a few lives.
New from me: The storied fiddler Ashley MacIsaac wanted to play a show at a Nova Scotia First Nation. It got cancelled because Google's AI search summary incorrectly called him a sex offender. Now he's worried for his safety www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/arti...

I love SimTower so much.
One of the nerdiest things about me as a child (and there are MANY) is that I used to hand drawn SimTowers for my classmates and charge them ten cents (artists: raise your prices!!!) for a drawing of a tower on wide ruled paper, college ruled cost extra cause more floors.

The Cracker Barrel thing was THIS YEAR. We have three more years of this shit. Anybody who makes it to 2028 without looking like Nosferatu will be required by the state to start a skincare brand.

This can be a difficult and nuanced discussion, especially for people that are out of the tech loop. I try to break it down as
AI = shit you've been using for over a decade. Predictive text. NPC enemy AI. Specialized machine learning.
GenAI = shit built on stolen/scraped assets from the Internet

If we’re going to get really no quarter about genAI usage, I’m going to need people to learn the difference between AI and genAI real fast.

marrying the cheese man for cheese
A few years ago there was a woman who posted something along the lines of “so I went on a date with a guy and he just sent me a wheel of cheese???” I think expecting everyone to go wow what a weirdo but instead everyone was like “u should marry the cheese man”
He really is the coolest dude ever.

kinda weird how liens are harder to enforce if you insist on being paid in a paper check and not direct deposit, and always go to the bank and cash it instead of ever letting money hit your bank account
real weird. definitely nobody do that. too weird.
