Thanks @grogsgamut.bsky.social for highlighting this nonsense from Albo on the #SundayShot this morning. I’m still shaking my head about it.

begging everyone to read the excellent book β€œ31 Days,” about the interval between Nixon’s resignation and the pardon, because Ford also knew this and that’s why he didn’t want to do it. the pressure on him to cave and say yes was so diabolical

tweet from @cliftonhowze on twitter

Last night at the #DataCenters meeting in Claremore, Darren Blanchard, who has attended most of these meetings around NE Oklahoma & has some pretty impressive FOIA/ORA skills, was arrested after going over his 3 min. allotted speaking time. First arrest I've seen at one of these.

Judge scolds Mark Zuckerberg's team for wearing Meta glasses to social media trial A Los Angeles judge ordered Meta officials to remove their AI glasses at a trial over the impact of social media on users.

"The judge upbraided the Meta team and said if you guys have recorded anything, you have to dispose of it or I will hold you in contempt," Jacob Ward, a technology journalist and the host of the Rip Current Podcast, told CBS News, calling the incident "an extraordinary misstep" by Meta.

Large banner of Trump unfurled at Justice Department headquarters The DOJ has traditionally operated with a degree of separation from the White House to prevent the department's powers from being abused for political purposes.

β€œHanging that banner should put to rest any doubt that Donald Trump has hijacked the independence of the Justice Department. He β€” not the American people β€” is the only client DOJ’s current leadership serves." www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

This Epstein story harms their oligarch benefactors so of course they're going to minimize it. Afflict the afflicted and comfort the comfortable.

Still no information from ICE on the 4 Oglala citizens allegedly illegally detained last month.

So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.

Incredible how much the media has spent talking about hate speech laws and yet none of the thousands of articles on Hanson mention she recently was found by a federal court of breaching hate speech laws.

It was a case that found she had denigrated Muslims as well. Very odd it appears in none of the coverage of her remarks, and she has not been asked about it once in various interviews she’s done this week.

What’s the strategy from journalists and editors here? They know about the high profile case, and just don’t think it’s relevant despite the national debate over Muslims and hate speech? Or they don’t know about the high profile case involving the leader of Australia’s second most popular party?

Even when journalists reference Hanson’s past comments on Muslims, they reach back to 2016. Why not just mention the case from 2025, that is currently in front of the High Court?

Surely the entire media industry isn’t unaware of the case? So what’s the reason?

And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

You’re on social media, so this should concern you.

The U.S. government has been asking platforms like Meta for user data.

You don’t have to be paranoid to see the problem. You just have to be paying attention. If you’re online, this includes you.
