Pomme in Paris

Google doesn't listen to everything you do.

In my new novel I mention a bus terminal in Ohio. I haven't published it. It's just in a Word document on my PC.

Now Google is asking me to review the bus terminal, because it thinks I visited it.

Google doesn't listen to everything you do.

Terrific

Today, the House finally passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Survivors have waited years for answers, and the American people have been kept in the dark for far too long.

Every name, every meeting, and every document must be released—no excuses, no delays.

(1/2)

Let’s be clear: the DOJ has already been subpoenaed to release these files to the Oversight Committee, and the deadline to turn them over has come and gone.

Now that this has passed in the House, the Senate needs to do its job, and the President needs to sign it.

I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

Mike Johnson's Epstein bungling is a disaster for the GOP The House speaker and his boss put on a masterclass of failure.

New in PN: Mike Johnson's Epstein bungling is a disaster for the GOP

"Observing Johnson in recent months has been like watching an extended Road Runner cartoon, where the Coyote fashions intricate knots of congressional procedure in order to tie himself to a giant stack of lit dynamite."

A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

#3157 A helpful tutorial

First off, my suspension has ended. Got a little harsh with a post a few days ago but I didn’t have my feet on the ground and I’m sorry if I offended anyone. Will try to be more chipper. Knock on wood!

Robert Reich The Shady World of Surveillance Pricing (Ft. Lina Khan)

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social hired former FTC Chair Lina Khan to run his transition team. She's an excellent pick with an eye for rooting out how big corporations are making your life unaffordable. One way they're doing that? Surveillance pricing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cbtUYshYM8

"The worm doesn't make me eat dead rats. I was doing that before the worm," he purred at me like one of the diseased cats that would follow him around whenever he had a dead rat in his pocket that he was saving for later. He really liked eating them. He coughed and it sounded like a lawnmower hitting a sprinkler head. His leathery skin crackled in the evening sun. He had to leave tonight - he was speaking at a conference for people who think medicine turns you gay. Sometimes when he was away I would rub an old catcher's mitt up and down my legs and pretend he was giving me a massage. - excerpt from “I Don't Know Why He Sounds Like That: My Disgusting Affair with RFK Jr” by Olivia Nuzzi

Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet.

It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition.

Several women who survived abuse by Jeffrey Epstein came together for a powerful PSA video demanding that Congress release all files on the accused sex trafficker.

“While we are Epstein and Maxwell survivors, we are standing for so many victims of sexual assault and of domestic violence, as well.”

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Thank you to our volunteers. This victory is yours.

Pourquoi préférer Wikipedia à l'IA:
1- Wikipédia donne des réponses contrôlées par des humains impliquées. L'IA n'est pas fiable.
2- L'IA fonctionne avec des algorithmes opaques. Wiki est transparent, les modifications d'une page sont visibles par tous.
@wikipedia.org fait partie du meilleur du web

It’s pretty simple.

When you do a huge armed midnight raid on an apartment building rounding up and terrorizing children and later find out there were no criminals there everyone involved resigns in shame and we have loud showy Congressional hearings.

KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?

HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--

KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

Calvin Duncan wins Orleans clerk of court race - Verite News New Orleans Duncan, a political newcomer and former prisoner, defeated incumbent Darren Lombard by a wide margin in Saturday's runoff.

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:

Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.

So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

A small black planter hanging on a fence, filled with red whistles. There's a sign that reads Tate a whistle! ¡Toma un silbato! Protect each other from ICE Protegernos unos a otros de la migra Use when ICE is spotted Usalo cuando se encuentra IcE form a crowd, Stay loud Unete a la comunidas y Manténte ruidosos

For Charlotte friends who want to prepare, we made our little whistle station with a plastic planter (drainage in the bottom in case it rains), zip ties, and no-heat lamination paper

WATCH - @tarapalmeri.bsky.social : “Hey Megyn Kelly… you want to hear the sound of one of the girls recruited from her nearby high school by Epstein? It is pedophilia. I would recommend you go listen to the audio from the police reports.”

OMG! I just got off the plane in Asheville and RFK Jr. Was boarding and someone passed by him and said “quack”

This is me at 15. I’m a child.
I’m a CHILD.

My friend @drannieandrews.com will be Lindsey Graham's opponent.
She is a pediatric surgeon who has performed spinal surgeries on children, running against a grownup with no spine. Dr. Andrews is poised to perform a full Lindsey-ectomy on the United States Senate.

It’s been a year to the day we bought (and then didn’t, for reasons we still don’t fully know) InfoWars. We’re still trying. In the year since, we built The Onion into one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. I’m so proud of this place. I’m proud we do hard stuff. Thank you for caring.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here
