yuuuuup. i have my desktop browser set to not return AI results at all. haven't figured out how to on my phone yet but i ignore the generated untrustworthy slop
as one does, I’ve been googling a lot of stuff recently and it’s crazy that more than a year in they still insist on putting wrong information via AI overview at the top of almost every search. crazy how quickly ive become accustomed to reflexively scroll past/ignore

who wants to take bets on how long before dementia donny slips up and says something like "[it's] not a crime. and if it was a crime, it doesn't matter because i'm the president and the supreme court says anything i do is legal" ?
and yet, even if he did confess, the cult would defend him

i am kind of wondering if the person/group who did it KNEW that and it was intentional.
So apparently there are many Epstein files on the DOJ website where you can highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it onto another document to read the redactions

they can try to copy history all they want but it's harder than the 20th century when we all have cameras and our own hard drives and so many other digital tools to fight back with.
keep recording, keep downloading, keep sharing.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
vigiliamus!

The Trump administration is censoring information. If you come across something before it’s censored, save it, download it, print it. Thank you to everyone preserving and sharing records, the censored Epstein files, and to Canada for helping us access Inside CECOT. Don’t let censorship win.

a canadian network ran the cecot 60 minutes report that got pulled.
Here’s a better version that wasn’t filmed off of a tv. Uploaded it to my old blog. indulgentgeek.net/2025/12/22/l...
Leaked 60 Minutes Report on CECOT
The Trump administration wanting this story killed is exactly why we need to make sure everyone sees it.

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.
Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.
Now, it’s gone.

i did a review of my insurance policies with my state farm agent friday and told her i stopped using the drive safe and save discount because the app wanted to track my phone even when not in my car. she said it's on the way to becoming a rate determination tool and she no longer recommends it

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

roll up a prefab boxy building, paint a proscenium of a columned building on some MDF and stick it to the front, add a tacky gold sign that says "REALLY BIG BEAUTIFUL BALLROOM" and line the interior with mirrors and gold laminate. park him in the middle in a big chair and leave in there all day

📖 Word of the day: QUACK 🦆
Many kids today don’t know the meaning of QUACK, as in “this 🧠🪱 is a quack” or “ACIP is now a collection of delusional quacks”.
A quack is an ignorant, misinformed, or dishonest practitioner of medicine; a snake oil salesman. The term has a fascinating history. 👇

late night exhaustion thoughts: many recognizable bad things right now rely on vehicle fuel: ICE can't drive without gas. backhoes can't dig for data center construction without diesel. site foremen can't arrive without gas.
is there any way to deny fuel sales to fascists & egotistical tech bros?
