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)

![FOR DEMOCRATS
my name is [your name]. two anti-transgender healthcare bills passed the house with democrat help—HR 498 and HR 3492. i’m calling today to tell senator [your senator’s name] to vote no and publicly commit to a no vote right now.
it shouldn’t be in question that any democrat would vote no on a law that says “people donald trump doesn’t like can’t get life-saving healthcare,” but here we are. no one knows where democrats stand on anything right now. the senator needs to stand up and speak up.
[you can bail out here at 30 seconds if you need to!]
every 2025 election proved you don’t need to compromise with bigots on transgender rights to win votes. not in virginia or ohio or kentucky. it’s wrong, it doesn’t work, and it alienates loyal voters. both of these bills are a no.
if senator [your senator’s name] votes yes on either of these, [he or she] loses my vote going forward. when these anti trans bills come up for a vote it absolutely must be a no from every democrat in the chamber.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2lzahebnas6od6j6jfydwst7/bafkreigmuw3qponpk5lflrqbhytzrivbrz4bpehyaxpepqdlrfjsgvdvg4@jpeg)

my name is [your name] and i’m calling today to tell senator [your senator’s name] to vote no on two bills that passed the house december 17th and 18th: HR 498 and HR 3492.
both of these bills take away healthcare for a whole group of people. the government shouldn’t have that kind of power. this is overreach. this is an absolute no.
[you can bail out here at 20 seconds if you need to!]
the government doesn’t belong in any doctor’s office. if senator [your senator’s name] votes yes on either of these, how can i trust [him or her] to not come into my doctor’s office next? this is wrong. a yes vote loses my vote going forward.

Doing your budgets or schedules with a technology that routinely hallucinates is a terrible idea (as is contracts, legal advice, etc.).
Doing docs with AI is making the primary source of truth unreliable for the team and creates ambiguity or conflict, and thus also a terrible idea.

As the backlash to generative AI in video games continues to pick up steam heading into 2026, it'll be fascinating to see what is considered "made with generative AI." Can a dev team say they're not using AI if they're writing design docs with Copilot or using chatGPT to make schedules and budgets?
