There’s a fascinating development in the Tucker Carlson story. It looks like Trump accepted Tucker in the White House on the eve of the war with Iran and appeared persuadable (as Tucker said several times on his show) in order to lure Tucker into transmitting the message to the ayatollah regime. Is that why the Iranian leadership gathered all in one place? Because they were led to believe that the attack wasn’t coming? Was Tucker the human version of a Hezbollah pager?
Tucker recognized openly today that the CIA is investigating him for passing messages to the Iranian regime.
The moment USAID money dries up, Latin American elections start looking very different.
Yes, Ian Carroll is a grifter. But the difference is that his lying led to no real-world results. The mainstream media, on the other hand, created George Floyd pogroms, COVID lunacy, and a million other things that led to real death and destruction.
AI has its uses. We have to make all our course materials “accessible” which implies a lot of dumb clicking and formatting. I told Copilot to do it for me. Copilot wrote code in Python and turned my materials into ugly unreadable craps that give me a 100% accessibility scores.
I will send the normal version of the materials to the students in secret because nobody can get any use from the “accessible” version. We are on the verge of doing secret rotaprint documents like in the USSR. But at least I didn’t have to spend any time on creating the “accessible” craps myself.
A shocking thread listing the many instances in Australia when foreign criminals were spared punishment for their crimes so that they wouldn’t be deported:
If it weren’t for Trump, we’d already be Australia. And we wouldn’t know it because we wouldn’t be allowed to talk about it. Let’s not forget what we have avoided as we offer well-deserved criticism of Trump.
Folks, I’m very sorry but I just noticed that WordPress has once again started spamming comments. Several comments from mitchellporter, ShadowsCollide and Stringer Bell have been spammed. I did not cause it in any way and wasn’t notified. I apologize and will now restore the comments.
This is our only alternative to Trump: a regime where we will have to allow sex offenders with a long criminal history to prey on women in toilets because they’ll claim that they are diverse and non-binary:
Yes, Trump is wildly imperfect. But it’s not between him and perfection. It’s between him and whatever Melbourne is.
This is a reminder that children should not be watching YouTube videos:
Or any other short-form videos. Or any AI slop. The only foundational principle for picking activities for a child should be “how is this good for the child?” No other consideration should be in play.
Adults shouldn’t be watching AI slop either. There are tons of great books, wonderful music, intelligent podcasts. There’s no need to consume garbage.
He didn’t, though. Look at his efforts to reward Russia with lifting sanctions in response to the overwhelming intel that Russia is helping Iran in the war. What kind of a neocon champions subservience to Russia?
I think it would be helpful at this point to abandon the outdated terminology about neocons and observe that this is something different. I’ve not found a coherent explanation of what’s happening that would take all of it into account. The US is fighting on both sides of the war in Iran. We are not fighting to win. That’s the only conclusion that accounts for all the facts. Beyond this, I’ve currently got nothing. But it’s more than most people are saying.
