Every now and then I see myself referred to as an "AI Denier" and I want to be clear I acknowledge "AI" exists, it's just I think it's a massive energy drain, created from theft, implemented poorly for inappropriate tasks by loathsome tech executives who get hard at the idea of the rest of us dying

The White House Correspondents’ Association should’ve boycotted Trump when he revoked Jim Acosta’s press credentials

They should’ve boycotted when he sued the NY Times

They should’ve boycotted when he insulted all the female reporters

Instead, they honored him by letting him speak at their dinner

Manufactured Malignant Misinformation

Artificially created outrage.

Republicans created a hidden industry to magnify marginally untoward gossip and feed it into an echo chamber social media outrage machine.

Fed into fake News Sites, picked up by search engines as news, posted on Repubs on social.

Death of women from ectopic pregnancy has increased in Texas due to abortion bans.

They are choosing to delay the report until December.

"Why should I pay, when I can easily be bought?"
Don Jr clearly has enough money to pay for his own wedding. But the family motto is to never pay for anything if you can avoid it, especially when there are bribe opportunities on the table.
“This should be unthinkable for the son of the president. End of story.”

A Russian oligarch close to Putin bankrolled Don Jr.’s wedding.

The other day I argued Iran was just bleeding out the US to benefit China and Russia.

He's now resorting to trying to buy the election.

Federal law makes it unlawful to knowingly and willfully pay, offer to pay, or accept payment for registering to vote or for voting. (52 U.S.C. §10307(c).) Any type of incentive is considered “payment.”

Excellent. USPS was in blatant violation of her order.

The challengers of Trump's mail-in voting executive order alerted a federal judge to the whistleblower's explosive warning that the IT system risks a "catastrophic failure" that could "derail" the midterm elections.

5/ Here is what the study found that the police report alone did not say: the goal was not just to spread individual lies. It was to destroy the institutions that let people tell truth from lies. Attack the courts. Discredit fact-checkers. Make "verified" mean nothing.

1/ Rubio held a summit to export Trump’s crackdown on left-wing groups to US allies. Britain sent its top security chief and told no one. A FOI request exposed it. This is what a domestic crackdown looks like when it goes global. 🧵
