Another Dev Revolt at Google!

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think we should be taking scientific advice from a demented pedophile who tried to redraw a hurricane chart with a sharpie.

I broke the LLM again

Arrests of Epstein adjacent criminals are happening today, globally. Real democracies are actually being helpful in cleaning up an American mess! Blessed are the just & righteous

Yeah, but not beyond recently. I checked.

Man, there's a law in place and everything. Passed with a huge supermajority in the House, and unanimously in the Senate. Pam Bondi just wipes her butt with it.

While the DOJ can conduct investigations involving Congress members, it is bound by strict guidelines that generally require warrants for surveillance.

The DOJ fuckers let congressman to look at unredacted Epstein files and they fucking spied on them.
Getting the cheat notes for the congressional hearing today.
They should work harder at getting the criminals and the pedo-billionaires.
Fuck

Oh fuck.

Way to go, A-Team!

ELLISON: We're hoping we can gain cooperation perhaps in the Pretti matter, but we've been advised that the feds aren't investigating the Good matter and we haven't received any access to the evidence

PETERS: So in these two cases, you're being stonewalled?

ELLISON: That's a yes

The less voters knew, the more they liked Trump in 2024. Not Anymore The least-engaged Americans have swung 25 points against him since 2024 — about twice the shift among everyone else. Trump has flattened the engagement gap.

apparently the card above is messed up, but if you click the link it works www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...

Walz: "The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here. There's going to be accountability on things that happened, but one of them is the incredible and immense cost borne by the people of this state. The federal government needs to be responsible."

For a casino, playing 50/50 red and black in roulette gives you a 36/38 return, which is pretty fucking good.

He does. But then I had this flash of insight and felt pretty stupid for not thinking of it earlier. Lottery tickets effectively establish a "floor" on the rate for laundering money, modulo the costs of getting the cash to the field and taking the winnings out again.

This insight courtesy of the Epstein files and a search on "torture".

Weird times.

FUCK I just realized that one of the purposes of lottery tickets and gambling is money laundering, courtesy of state and provincial governments. You go in, buy a stack of tickets, then cash them out. You lose money like crazy, at least 50%, but then it's white government cash on the other side.

Absolutely, Jo.

Also:
* Profiting from Nazis
* Paying Nazis
* Normalizing Nazis as good producers
* Normalizing Nazi hate as acceptable and fundable speech
* Laundering money to Nazis through the on-site payments ecosystem
* Driving upstream payment processors to accept funding Nazis

Wherein Quebec's megahuge pension fund *Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec* is pausing new partnerships with the Emirati logistics company and port giant DP World after their boss, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem shows up in the Epstein files chatting about young women and torture videos with Epstein.

Caisse pauses new partnerships with DP World after CEO’s emails to Epstein surface “We have made it clear to the company that we expect it to shed full light on the situation and take the necessary actions.”

QUE’s pub pen fund said it’s pausing new partnerships w/DP World after emails show YEARS of contact b/the CEO & conv Sex Offender w/messages ref sexual encounters. They’re seeking clar. w/Dubai-based Co. o/conduct of longtime Chair & CE Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem. montrealgazette.com/business/cai...

They are also being disingenuous about the accusations. It’s not simply about allowing Nazis to use their platform. It’s about *inviting* and *promoting* Nazis.

📌 Scanning club

Even so, it's worth repeating now that it's here. I'll bring it to scanning club this Friday, thanks! 🙏🙏🙏

I wrote a deck about this that got handed over to CSEC a few years back. Woke up in a sweat one day and realized that this was possible. Not happy to see it in the field already, but not really surprised.

The cherry on top is:

5th amendment rights do not apply to pardon recipients.

The 5A protects against self-incrimination.

But they have already incriminated themselves by accepting a pardon.

So they CAN be compelled to testify, as they are not in legal jeopardy.

(Except for new crimes ...)

🎩

It's even more delicious than that:

In accepting a pardon, the recipient acknowledges that they are guilty.

I gotta say, "the Pentagon uses a high powered laser to shoot down a party balloon" feels like enough symbolism for awhile. all full up thanks

We all want to know, "Where is the Rainbow Wizard?"
