Who stole the life from you? Who turned you so against you? Who was the thief, who shaved your teeth Accepting just virtue? And did he act alone? Were any more complicit? When he would sing, and offer the ring What older voice said, "kiss it"? Who? Who? Who?

I was thinking tonight of @esqueer.net's ongoing analysis of AI. I've been working in the ethics space for about six months, & I think the really alarming thing most people don't think of is what AI looks like when models work from mutable rather than fixed weights

alongside the merger of consumer & genetic data. When LLMs are merged w/world models where weights adjust to permit actual real-time learning, & then consumer tracking data & the DNA everyone gave to 23&Me is added to the mix... What does that look like? Because I think that's scary as fuck.

STOOGE.

🚨 NEWS: Republican Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Tom Tiffany’s campaign finance records reveal that a donor has been covering his apartment rent while his campaign spent over $70,000 on private air travel in just TWO MONTHS. And that's not all.

Watching Texas campaign ads during a nationally televised football game while living in Wisconsin is weird. And the lies about James Talerico are ridiculous. MAGA's fear of this guy is palpable in these commercials.

Read this. LOL. She now says she misunderstood the where did you take the bar exam. "When I moved to China." She thought it was "What did you do after law school." LOL. Turns out basically everything law related listed on her CV/Linkedin is either misleading, false or even possibly a crime.

The New York Times@nytimes.com

President Trump’s new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, describes herself as a lawyer, and the president called her “an attorney.” The New York Times was unable to find a law license for her. In an interview, she said the confusion is the result of a misunderstanding. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/14/u...

Think of it: a modestly successful game show host, Donald Trump, ruined America's world standing, bombed a school filled w/schoolchildren, destroyed the White House to build a monument to himself, ran the deficit up to unimaginable levels, and befriended world dictators who hope to destroy the US.

This is a traitor-in-chief, a war criminal, an adjudicated sexual assaulter, a FELON, & a morally bankrupt & depraved member of the #EpsteinClass. Trump must be contained. Ds MUST win the midterms & stop this coup's roll, & terrifying careening towards WWIII. 🧾 www.rawstory.com/trump-russia...

I've never made a claim on my auto insurance. I sure hope they don't cancel me before I can go out and get into an accident to prove that I know I'm insured. Or something.

RFK Jr announces a new initiative to kick people off their healthcare coverage but insists it's no big deal because "they don't even know they were enrolled in anything. They never make a claim."

I can't wait to hear about how this is all Joe Biden's fault.

The Nobel committee announces the Peace Prize winner tomorrow at 5am ET. Who wants to get up early with me and laugh when Dear Leader completely loses his shit? I desperately hope the winner is someone he hates.

NEW - EXCLU - Trump has considered reigniting the war against Iran after the midterms But now the White House told the Pentagon to draw up plans for a strike *before* Election Day Trump allies hope it could provide GOP with a boost. No final call yet www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

I cut my abusive mother off long before social media and have never regretted it. This is bullshit. People need to form relationships built on trust & kindness, not authoritarianism & outdated social norms. More culture war trash....

So, like, this isn't scary as fucking fuck, right? "...the Defense Department was actively conducting a “classified review of U.S. nuclear employment guidance, with the goal of increasing options available to the president” — a review launched “in light of the changing global nuclear landscape.”

If you aren't a @talkingpointsmemo.com reader, you should be. Rigorous, reliable independent journalism is real. It's available. And it's worth it.

If this is how they're going to handle being ignored by the media, I say make the boycott permanent. Dear Leader's word salad and hot takes from a website no one visits except to monitor it for new corruption is a perfect venue.
