Todd Blanche is so desperate to make Trump happy today that he put out a news release about AI linking to a memo he issued on October 13?
The United States Department of Justice FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE WWW.JUSTICE.GOV/NEWS November 5, 2026 Department of Justice Launches Super Intelligence Task Force WASHINGTON - The U.S. Department of Justice is announcing the formation of its Super Intelligence (SI) Task Force (DOJ-SITF).

Hubble Reveals that Star Formation is Slowing Down in the Andromeda Galaxy
The Andromeda Galaxy, one of the Milky Way's closest cosmic neighbors, is a fascinating subject for astronomers. Located about 2.5 million light-years away, Andromeda is visible to the naked eye (where light conditions permit), allowing astronomers to examine its stellar populations in detail. Moreover, this galaxy is around twice the size of the Milky Way (200,000 light-years) and has five times the population - roughly one trillion stars.

This is a vibrant, detailed oil painting depicting two pelicans resting on a wooden dock in a harbor. The scene is bathed in daylight, with a bright blue sky filled with fluffy white clouds dominating the upper portion of the image. In the foreground, two pelicans are the primary subjects. The pelican on the left is standing, with its body slightly angled towards the viewer, and its head turned to the right. Its plumage is a mix of brown and white feathers, with distinct gray streaks running through its wing and body. Its long, yellow beak with a dark tip is prominent. The pelican on the right is seated, with its head resting lower and angled towards the right edge of the frame, appearing more relaxed. It shares similar brown and white plumage, with a golden-yellow hue on its head and neck. Both pelicans exhibit detailed feather textures. The dock beneath them is rendered with weathered wooden planks, showing variations in color and grain, with visible shadows cast by the birds. In the mid-ground, a body of water, likely the harbor, is visible, reflecting the blue sky and surrounding elements with shimmering highlights. Several wooden pilings, stained a dark brown, rise from the water, some with ropes attached, indicating a mooring area. Behind the pilings, a light blue fishing or charter boat is docked. The boat has a white cabin structure with windows and lettering on its bow that reads "PIED PIPER TOO". The side of the boat also has some registration numbers. The background features lush green trees with a textured, impressionistic style, suggesting foliage on the shore. Further back, there are hints of structures and possibly stacked wooden pallets. The overall color palette is rich and varied. Blues are prevalent in the sky and water, while the pelicans display earthy browns, grays, and whites. The boat is primarily a light blue and white. Greens dominate the foliage, and the wooden elements are rendered in various shades of brown and gray. The lighting cr… This is a vertical, oil painting of a flowering orchid plant in a pot, set against a backdrop of lush, green foliage. The painting is framed by a distressed, white wooden border. The focal point of the image is the orchid. Two large, deep magenta or fuchsia flowers bloom prominently on the left side, with visible stamens and delicate petal textures. Above and to the right of these, a stem with several unopened buds is depicted, ranging in color from dark purple to lighter shades of pink. The orchid plant sits in a terracotta-colored pot, which appears slightly wider at the top than the bottom. The pot is filled with a yellowish-green potting medium, possibly moss or bark chips, with some texture visible. Two large, broad orchid leaves emerge from the pot, positioned towards the bottom right of the frame. These leaves are a deep green with prominent, dark green veins creating a patterned effect. The background is a vibrant and impressionistic representation of tropical foliage. Tall, slender leaves in various shades of green, from bright lime to deep forest green, are depicted with energetic brushstrokes. Some of these leaves appear elongated and pointed, suggesting ferns or palm fronds. The overall impression of the background is one of dense, sun-drenched greenery, with hints of yellow suggesting sunlight filtering through. The colors in the background are predominantly green and yellow, with some darker teal or blue tones interspersed, creating depth. The composition places the orchid plant slightly off-center to the left, with the blooming flowers reaching towards the upper right quadrant. This arrangement creates a dynamic balance within the frame. The white, weathered frame surrounds the entire painting, adding a rustic and vintage feel. The artist's signature, a stylized "JAZ" or similar, is visible in the lower right corner of the painted canvas. The overall color palette is rich and saturated, with a strong emphasis on the vibrant greens of the foliage a… This is a painting of a vibrant sunset over a body of water. The sky is filled with dramatic clouds painted in a palette of intense purples, pinks, oranges, and yellows. The clouds have a swirling, dynamic quality, with streaks of light and shadow creating a sense of movement and depth. A prominent feature in the sky is a large, circular formation of clouds that appears to be twisting or spiraling. The water below reflects the colors of the sky, creating a shimmering surface with hues of orange, pink, and yellow. The water appears calm, with subtle ripples and reflections. In the foreground, there is a rocky shore with several stones and pebbles. The rocks are depicted in darker, muted tones of brown and gray, providing a grounding element to the scene. On the left side of the painting, there is a dark silhouette of dense vegetation, likely trees and bushes, bordering the water. On the right side, a similar dark silhouette of a tree line extends along the edge of the water, suggesting land or an island. The overall composition is balanced, with the expansive sky dominating the upper portion and the water and shore occupying the lower half. The colors are rich and saturated, contributing to the dramatic and beautiful atmosphere of a sunset. The artist's signature, "JZ ENISEK," is visible in the lower right corner. This is a vibrant and colorful painting depicting a rural scene with a focus on poultry and a cornucopia of bounty. The main subject, a large, proud rooster, stands on a diagonally placed wooden structure, possibly a crate or pallet, in the left foreground. The rooster is rendered in warm tones of red, orange, and yellow, with striking blue and green feathers in its tail. Its comb is a bright red, and its eye is dark and watchful. To the right of the rooster, in the mid-ground, a hen and several chicks are gathered on a grassy area. The hen is predominantly white with brown speckles, while the chicks are small and yellow. Dominating the right side of the mid-ground and extending into the background is a large, colorful cornucopia, overflowing with what appears to be a bounty of fruits and vegetables. The cornucopia itself is depicted with vibrant bands of orange, red, and blue. The overflowing contents are a rich mix of reds, oranges, and purples, suggesting apples, grapes, and possibly other produce. Behind the cornucopia, a pile of what looks like pumpkins or gourds is visible. The background features a lush green landscape. A dense line of green trees forms a backdrop, with a glimpse of a rustic wooden building, possibly a barn, peeking through on the far right. A fence, likely made of wire mesh, runs horizontally across the mid-ground, separating the foreground from the background foliage. A palm tree is also visible behind the rooster, suggesting a warm climate. The sky is a bright, clear blue. The colors are bold and saturated, with strong contrasts. The greens of the foliage are rich, the blues of the sky and rooster's tail are vivid, and the reds and oranges of the rooster and the cornucopia's contents are intense. The wooden elements are rendered in earthy browns and yellows, with visible texture and grain. The composition is dynamic, with the diagonal lines of the wooden structure and the sweeping curve of the cornucopia leading the viewer's eye thro…

Special Weather Statement issued October 23 at 12:32PM ChST by NWS Tiyan GU
Additional Details Here.
Invest 97W continues to develop over the northern Marshall Islands, centered near 11N166E in the vicinity of Bikini and Rongelap Atolls. 97W is now the subject of a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), meaning it is expected to develop into a significant tropical cyclone (a tropical depression) within 24 hours. Himawari visible satellite imagery this afternoon shows numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms across the northern Marshall Islands, focused mainly over the northwesternmost islands and atolls. Scatterometry data from this morning shows fresh to strong west winds near Ujae and Ebadon Atolls, and surface observations on Kwajalein Island are showing fresh west winds with frequent strong gusts. Near-gale force gusts have been observed with passing showers, and significant boat damage was recently reported along west-facing exposures of Kwajalein as well. Surging west winds are expected to continue across the western and central Marshall Islands, south of Invest 97W's center, and boats should be safely moved from west-facing exposures and secured, if possible. Fresh to strong west winds will begin to shift southwesterly tonight as 97W strengthens, and persist through Sunday as 97W begins to lift north out of the RMI. Locally heavy showers will be possible across the northern half of the Marshall Islands through the weekend. Showers and winds will begin to diminish Sunday night as 97W pulls farther away, but elevated west to southwest swell associated with the disturbance may persist into early next week. Elevated surf along west and south reefs may become hazardous this weekend into early next week as these swells persist. This situation will be closely monitored for additional impacts to the Marshall Islands. For more information on Invest 97W, see bulletins issued by JTWC under WMO header ABPW10 PGTW.

Walia rejects the narrative of a “border crisis”, asserting that border regimes subject migrants and refugees to displacement, criminalization, and exploitation in order to impede the formation of an international working class consciousness & expand a far-right, nationalist, ruling-class empire.

Here’s a quick preview (heavily subject to change)!
SEIZE THE EARTHLINGS! By Christian Akins Ashley Banks Las Vegas Bay, Nevada Sunday, March 28 5:31 PM PST The calm surface of the bay was broken by the appearance of a mysterious ripple that spread out from a perfectly round disturbance roughly twenty-five feet in diameter. To passersby, the phenomenon would appear to be the spontaneous formation and sudden dissipation of a large whirlpool in the center in the otherwise peaceful body of water-if there happened to be any passersby with extraordinarily good eyesight. In truth, there wasn't a soul within a half-mile radius of the event, due to the careful monitoring and timed execution by the inhabitants of the invisible celestial vessel that chose that moment to make their descent into the bay.

I was delighted to see that the Narsil Empire exists ina world where water obeys gravity most of the time. That's more than I can say for your submission last semester of the "Dragonspine Archipelago" in which a river flowed uphill into a volcano. Hydrology (-8 points). The Guardians are a magnificent mountain range. Sprawling. Imposing. And the eastern Imposing. And the eastern two-thirds apparently made up of spongy material so absorbent that only a single river makes the trip down to Narvek. Likewise, the Northwest Chain sheds approximately zero rivers, which suggests either an extraordinary drought or a fundamental misunderstanding on your part of gravity. Please refer back to your notes from my lecture #2, "Rain Falls, Then It Goes Places." Coastline (-4 points). The eastern coast stretches form Narvek to Pegosa and yet the Inward Ocean receives drainage from a nameless river at Narvek, river Mering, and then a nameless river near Great Salma. Two point five river mouths along a coastline this long, blocked by mountains receiving this much precipitation, is implausible. Add precipitation, is implausible. Add a thriving estuarine network. Lake Salma (-2 points). A large lake in a wet climate with no visible outlet. You've invented the world's first rainy endorheic basin. I await your paper on this subject. Settlement patterns (-4 points). Ysan City is in the highlands, far from any river, which raises the questions of what its citizens drink. Neruda, similarly, is implausibly far from the nearest river. Let me remind you that historically settlements clustered around water, trade, or both; river crossings, confluences, deltas, natural harbors. Who is in Northmark? Why? Scale (-10 points). There is no scale bar. I have no idea whether the Heart is a pleasant afternoon's ride ora three-month odyssey. Neither, I suspect, do you. Final comments. three-month odyssey.

Additional Details Here.
Invest 96W is currently rated as "High" for development by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, and is the subject of a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert, meaning development into a significant tropical cyclone (a tropical depression) is expected within 24 hours. 96W is currently located northeast of Pohnpei near 8.7N 160.7E, and continues to develop and strengthen just north of the region. Convergent fresh to strong westerlies south of 96W's center are producing bands of scattered to numerous showers capable of strong gusts and locally heavy rainfall, across Kosrae, Pohnpei, and their adjacent coastal waters. Ensemble model guidance suggests rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches will be possible for Pohnpei through late Friday night as 96W strengthens and passes north of the island, with an additional 1 to 2 inches possible for Kosrae through early Thursday morning as conditions start to ease there. Gusts to 30 knots will be possible near heavier showers. Gusty winds and elevated, choppy seas will make marine conditions hazardous to small craft, and inter-island travel is discouraged. Keep up to date with the latest information from the National Weather Service in Tiyan, Guam, and your local emergency management.

#Conlangity Day 12

This should hopefully be a fun one! We're talking about descriptors - aka adjectives & adverbs.

Give some examples of both. Are there special endings or other unique features for these words in your conlang?

(Don't get into verbals or prepositions yet, that'll be for later!)
DAY 12 [GRAMMAR/VOCAB] Today is about descriptors - i.e. adjectives & adverbs! Adjectives are words that describe nouns ("blue, small, funny") while adverbs describe verbs, adjectives or other adverbs ("very, quickly, shockingly"). How does your conlang handle these? Examples? Light yellow text printed in two columns over an orange background showing a faint photo of a large open dictionary. Hosted by @professoremily.bsky.social. Additional card with “HELPFUL TIPS,” light yellow text over the same background as the main prompt. Sometimes descriptors can be formed using prefixes or suffixes, or other modifications. For instance, the suffixes “-ish” or “-ful” can be used to change a noun into an adjective: “foolish, joyful” In English, many adverbs are just adjectives with “-ly” tacked on: “foolishly, joyfully” --------------------- Do you have any modifications to turn nouns into descriptors, or turn adjectives into adverbs? What subtle differences in meaning do these modifications carry?
