Donald Trump's version of GWB's "WMD in Iraq"; except this is even worse because everyone knows this cartel name is nothing more than a slang term that the people of Venezuela use to refer to a few corrupt generals and it's been in play since the 90s. There is no real Cartel de los Soles.

DOJ makes a new attempt to unseal Epstein grand jury records Though federal law typically requires grand jury material to remain secret, DOJ officials say the new law Trump signed ordering the files’ release supersedes those restrictions.

JUST IN: DOJ petition seeking unsealing of Florida-based Epstein grand jury records is transferred from Judge Robin Rosenberg (Obama) to Judge Rodney Smith (Trump). Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Goed gesprek met EU Commissaris Kubilius over defensiegereedheid en Oekraïne.

We moeten defensieproductie in Europa fors opschalen, regels versoepelen, counter-drone capaciteiten versterken, én Oekraïne voluit steunen.

We werken nauw samen met NAVO, EU en lidstaten om dit snel te realiseren.

CNBC: My understanding is the White House said that China was gonna buy 12 million tons of soybeans from the US by January. That's approaching and they've only purchased 332,000. China has not confirmed that pledge.

194. Another Bad Week for the Presumption of Regularity Three different flashpoints highlight how much the Trump administration has done, in such short order, to undermine its own litigation efforts and to damage—perhaps irreparably—DOJ's credibility.

Me on DOJ’s behavior: “it’s malevolence *exacerbated* by incompetence. That’s problematic enough for the government’s credibility before federal district judges. But at some point soon, one suspects that the Supreme Court itself may well have to grapple with its consequences—or risk being duped.”

Student Nienke (21) lost roosterchaos in de zorg op met razendsnel model: ‘Kwartaalrooster klaar in 5 minuten’ Wat roostermakers in de zorg dagenlang kopzorgen oplevert, lukt nu binnen enkele seconden - allemaal dankzij een student van de Universiteit Twente. Nienke Hamster bedacht een slimme oplossing voor roosterproblemen, waardoor ingewikkelde Excel-schema’s met kleurtjes en vakjes verleden tijd zijn. En ze kreeg er een 10 voor.

Great place we're in, where POTUS is psychotically spree-posting AI slop from randos about how he's going to imprison opponents, and the best-case scenario is he unwittingly included Holocaust imagery in that because he's so stupid and impulsive. And it may have been deliberate by whoever made it.

I would guess that if you prompt an image generator with "prisoner striped uniform," it probably pulls from its training data more pictures of the concentration camp ones, they're infamous and there are tons of pictures of them out there, than of the cartoonish generic "prisoner" type.

Uhh... those aren't cartoony black-and-white prisoner stripes. They're concentration camp uniforms, blue vertical stripes. It's muddling the two a bit (of course they're variations on the same idea) but the AI slop is obviously pulling from pictures of the latter, it's a very distinct color palette.
