I just had a vision of a future alternate timeline, where Jordan Hudson dumps Bill Belichick, who suddenly has no distractions whatsoever and immediately rips the program to the studs and starts anew.

No, there is no dramatic win streak. Just a different flavor of failure for the tasting menu.

• I don’t trust their ability to discern opinion from objective truth.
• I don’t have faith that the algorithm will feed them results that aren’t doctored or outright frauds.

When someone asks a question, I really can’t tell them “just Google it” anymore.

• I don’t have confidence in what Google (or Bing) serve up at the top of results.
• I don’t have confidence that this person will actually use a search engine at all, instead of an LLM or TikTok.

The "insurrection" photo they're using is so old the donut shop has a sign advertising their payphone.

Shame on CNN for pushing the false impression that Trump's bullshit claims of violent insurrection have ANY validity.

"President Donald Trump and his top aides are using the word 'insurrection' more frequently to describe anti-ICE protests in places like Portland," writes Zachary B. Wolf. https://cnn.it/4pWYmzr

I tried the Beta.

I can handle the gore. The realism that made it less than fun is that in order to “win,” you need to commit to being a combat medic or a combat mechanic. Patch up the tanks and vehicles. That’s less fun.

Then the Saudis bought EA. No thanks.

Trump and the right wing bullshit machine working in high gear to motivate and justify a (potentially violent) federal response to unrest that is largely a figment of their imagination and (where it is real) a reaction to federal agitation. A vicious, intentional, and intensifying cycle.

Trump: Portland is burning to the ground—insurrectionists all over the place. The politicians are afraid for their lives. That’s the only reason they say there’s nothing happening.

NEW! Dept of Education workers say their OOO replies were forcibly changed to blame Democrats for shutdown. When employees changed their responses back to the more neutral language, it changed yet again to the partisan response.
