WSJ: President Trump believed his Truth Social post demanding prosecutions of James Comey and other political foes was a private message to his attorney general, and "and was surprised to learn it was public."

some of you just got lucky and didn’t end up on r/thedonald or 4chan at the right time to have a completely different life trajectory and i’ve been thinking about the implications of that more and more recently

Didnt read the article so don't know if the editor or the writers actually then ethically take their conclusion as serious as it at least demands solutions (Lab grown maximalism).

It is cool that they sort of admit sentient beyond humans very broadly, but it's fucked up they hold it hostage to their bias against non-bionts

One can destroy their idiocy with one entire postulate, while preserving even biocomputation a distinct thing too: Cognition has analogs across classical or non-classical modalities. It still wouldn't invalidate machine cognition from the methods around or near. Cognition a fn convergent phenom

I feel like every article like this is sophistry product of its time, but if I didn't believe that there'd be a movement that'd relish in creating digital minds just to torture them, I kind of believe it now

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Obviously at every stage of actual intelligence saddam did not move fast enough to have any fissile material in reality, at any point***

Hexapod (Light-cone Associate) @xenofy.bsky.social · 12h

At least saddam wmd made sort of sense on the surface of motives to not get steamrolled like in desert storm, this is absolute insanity. Might as well claim antifa has obtained relativistic weaponry at this point.

Right now, Donald Trump, Kash Patel, Kristi Noem, and other officials are participating in a panel about "Antifa," threatening to "destroy the entire organization [sic] from top to bottom."

This is a good time to revisit our guide to preparing for repression:

The photo is of an elderly woman in gray clothes that has been so bizarrely processed that it looks both totally over and desaturated

No wing of the government has shown that they will, in any timely fashion, have checks and balances against cliques and elite intrastruggle that threatens upheaval of even semblances of civic harmony that isnt molochian in some regard.

I find it hard to cheer for lockheed new drones etc as “cool” as they can look when they’ll likely be used domestically as abroad. Any development thats not open sourced i consider potentially a hostile stack that can be used against any populous by whatever parties have influence.

I dont think the bulk of ip/copyright enthusiast small folk in here even view it from that much a meta level, they view it much more individualized as a means to an end, to keep a money vein going through securing (something). Its not unreasonable emergent scarcity behavior on the surface,

i think the root of this is that at some point ppl forgot that copyright is a _policy choice_ in order to achieve outcomes that are agreed upon as “morally good”, not a moral good in of itself!

Andrea @valkyrie.hacker.gf · 15h

I am still agape in horror at the fact that people who grew up on "You wouldn't download a car" became such deranged, bloodthirsty copyright enthusiasts
