FINAL PLANS RELEASED: No sniper's nests, ammunition storage or drones. I suspect Trump's ballroom/bunker will one day be completed, (minus the 'thunderdrone' on the roof) - a seldom-used monument to hubris, the literal white elephant. But I doubt the eyesore "Arch de Trump" will ever be built.

"Trump-a-Palooza" Begins Today “What I really want you to do is pretend, please, that I’m on the ballot. Just come and vote. It’s so important. Just say that I’m on the ballot one more time.” Trump believes his star-power can save the midterms. He's liable to do something dangerous to prove it.

Today we crossed a threshold that probably can't be uncrossed. OpenAI's next-generation artificial intelligence, "Astra", has been released with few guardrails in place, described as the “world’s most intelligent and aligned model” - the godlike super-computer of our science fiction nightmares.
