Prof. Leibowitz: There are Judeo-Nazis. Israel Represents the Darkness of a State Body.
Good morning. Hope you're having a good weekend. Fairly chill here today. Charlie goes back to school tomorrow. So there's an end of summer feel to the day.
Just hope the weather gets the memo.

During a town hall Wednesday in Worth County, Iowans urged Hinson to “stop lying” after she claimed that the president’s key legislation had ushered in “higher wages” and an improved cost of living.
“Higher wages?” shouted one woman incredulously. “For who? For you?”

#Israel has done everything and far more in only the past week, than anyone accused #Assad of ever having done.
In the past week, the Israelis have used #ChemicalWeapons #WMDs in #GazaCity, and carried out the #assassination of the #PrimeMinister of #Yemen. Imagine if that had been #Paris and #Macron, or if #Iran had done it.
States have been fully isolated, invaded, and overthrown for less. But Israel gets to keep doing it, and even gets help.

Happy to help out, will put in an order now.
May I also ask a question?
Feel free to ignore if it's not an appropriate thing to ask, but I am curious what, if anything, you tell your kids about the support you get, and why is needed in the first place.
I've been wondering what this whole generation of children are learning about the ways their communities and governments support, (and fail to support) them.

La imagen muestra un tweet del Secretario Marco Rubio ([@]SecRubio) en su cuenta de Twitter. El tweet está en inglés y español, y se refiere a una broma que Rubio hizo con el Presidente ([@]POTUS) sobre tener cuatro trabajos. El Presidente le dijo que le diera uno a su amigo [@]RussVought47, a lo que Rubio accedió. Desde enero, Rubio afirma que han ahorrado a los contribuyentes decenas de miles de millones de dólares al transferir un pequeño conjunto de programas esenciales al Departamento de Estado, y que USAID está oficialmente en fase de cierre. Rubio felicita a Russ Vought por supervisar el cierre de la agencia. El tweet incluye una traducción al español proporcionada por Google Translate.

Nigella Lawson wrote a pithy takedown in one of her books about "clean eating", which she said combined the worst aspects of Nazism/fascism and, I believe, puritanism. That current bubbles close to the surface frequently, to the point where it seems like following sound advice--like eating WFPB--is an entree to a cult.
Also starting to cringe when I see fitness instructors. They look more and more like priests in the same cult--or MLM.

There Is (Still) No Ethical Use of AI
In March 2024, I wrote a post declaring “There Is No Ethical Use of AI”. My point was not that you should not use AI.matthewcheney.net
The article makes it seem like it was a badly worded statement! Instances can do registration by approval, so they can use whatever mechanism they want to do age verification if they choose to; and, admin notes let them store the info on profiles if they want to. So, it's still up to each instance to choose whether to comply, but their framing as reported was unfortunate. I asked Andy Piper if they could release the statement (or some public sttaement), he said they're working on it.

A imagem mostra um gatinho de pelagem cinza e marrom deitado de costas, com os olhos fechados e uma expressão de relaxamento. Ele está deitado em um lençol azul claro com desenhos infantis, incluindo símbolos e letras. O gatinho parece estar em um estado de profunda tranquilidade, com as patas estendidas para cima. Sobre a imagem, há um texto em português que diz: "estou cansada de dar um jeito queria que as coisas já chegasssem com um jeito dado." A imagem transmite uma sensação de paz e desejos de que as coisas sejam mais fáceis e prontas.

I don't know why there's so much fuss about the bruise on Trump's hand. You'd think he's the only person in history who ever received an IV brain transfusion.
Mind you, as far as I know there's never been a successful brain transfusion, but that's a separate issue. That's why there's that dumb joke: "The brain transfusion was successful but the President is still a dolt."
