The Sisters Who First Tried to Take Down Jeffrey Epstein (Published 2019)

Exactly. Why didn’t the government stop this in 1996 when the Farmer sisters bravely reported Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell??? That was 29 years ago.
Inexcusable. #BelieveWomen #believeGirls

What Ghislaine Maxwell Told the Justice Department Listening to the convicted sex offender’s lengthy interview reveals that she and her interviewer had one goal—to satisfy Donald Trump.

To read the 337-page transcript of Ghislaine Maxwell’s interview with the Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, is to be horrified, even enraged, by Maxwell’s brazen airbrushing of her conduct, and by Blanche’s placid acceptance of her rendition of events.

O’Neill, unlike Monarez, has no training in medicine or infectious disease science. He is a former speechwriter for the health department, during the Bush years, who went on to work for the tech investor and conservative megadonor Peter Thiel. During the Covid pandemic, O’Neill voiced public support for unproven treatments that were not supported by scientific evidence, including ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, as well as vitamin D as a supposed “prophylaxis”.

The new head of the CDC, Jim O’Neill, has no degree in science or medicine, and has pushed unproven treatments for COVID like ivermectin. This is so incredibly dangerous.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it.

ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures.

Losers with power become the most dangerous kind.

The A.I.-Profits Drought and the Lessons of History Like the steam engine, electricity, and computers, generative artificial intelligence could take longer than expected to transform the economy.

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.

Screenshot of tweet from the ARC stating they will announce Linkage Projects (2924 round 2) and Laureate Fellowship outcomes by end of June. They are also pushing back the applications for the next Linkage Projects round as a result.

ARC say they’ll announce Linkage Projects & Laureate Fellowship by end of the month. Next Linkage Projects deadline (2025 round 2) has been pushed back accordingly.

Better later than never, I guess 🙄. And the sort-of reason given sounds … weird, given that the new legislation started last July.
