Fake News Blues is back!

By popular demand, I’ve updated my viral video to reflect recent events: Trump has now banned CNN, MSNBC, Politico, and Kaitlan Collins personally, from the White House.

So let’s celebrate with the song that perfectly fits the occasion.🎉🎉🎉

First we achieve abundance in energy....and once that happens, abundance in almost everything else starts to follow

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Yes

[Brivael Le Pogam @brivael]

Elon is not for cartels of state capture.

He is pro-human and he doesn’t want AI that’s destroying humans.

A lot of us see Elon as the hope against the AI cartel, and I think he is still fighting it.

Saying “we should be careful not to wipe out part of the economy by releasing a model that can do a lot of damage without any safety” is not the same as “we need to be regulated and the state should capture AI.”

Suppose that the world were populated with 2 billion Hasidic Jews who were trying to aggressively convert everyone to their faith. I would be the first to express concern if we started to bend all of our liberties to acquiesce to the demands of the Hasidic Jews. There are 10,000+ religions in the world, only one of which consistently causes global mayhem, and only one faith that is antithetical to American liberties. I criticize ideologies. I judge individuals (of any faith and of no faith) by the totality of their qualities and flaws. We should NEVER temper our commitment to the First Amendment. It is the only thing keeping us from becoming every other failed civilization throughout history. Once you allow those who wish to silence us to succeed in their plans, it is a short hop and skip to the abyss of infinite darkness. Focus. Defend your liberties. Reject ideologies that seek to enslave you.

@XFreeze If even one-tenth of this is true, the UK is probably beyond salvation.

AI morality should be grounded in durable principles like being maximally truth seeking, enabling human agency, freedom of thought + humility under uncertainty

Instead of inheriting the moral fashion of the moment and mistaking it for truth

@callme_Chari Well...perhaps the Representatives want to hear some cogent, engaging conversation instead of the BS they subject themselves to on the rare occasions that they show up in Congress.

[charmane harbert ✝️ 🇺🇸 @callme_Chari]

Well that’s bizarre. Why does Library of Congress want to hear our conversations?
Btw I haven’t bought Prego in years. I’m a RAO’s woman.

I’ll just leave this here.

The Marine who got blown up by an
IED, stood up, and flipped off the enemy.

By his third tour in Iraq, Michael Burghardt had disarmed 64 bombs and destroyed over 1,500 pieces of ordnance. They called him Iron Mike. Burghardt was the man you wanted walking toward the device.

That morning, he had just extended his tour. Hours later, he was called to a chaotic scene near Ramadi where a bomb had taken four American soldiers. A second device still needed clearing. Burghardt left the bomb suit behind. "You get tunnel vision in that thing, and you can't react to sniper fire." So he walked toward the crater in nothing but a helmet and a flak jacket. EOD men call it "the longest walk."

Inside the crater, his knife hit something. A red detonation cora, running between his legs. "That's when I knew I was screwed." He barely had time to shout at his team to get back before the ground exploded beneath him. The blast threw him into the air. "I thought: I can't believe they got me." When he landed, he couldn't feel anything below the waist. For a moment, Burghardt thought he'd end up in a wheelchair. Then he wiggled his toes. "Good. I'm in business." Medics rushed in with a stretcher, but Burghardt refused. He had young Marines in his unit watching, and he wasn't going to let them see the team leader carried away. So he stood up, walked to the helicopter under his own power, and turned back toward the insurgents who had just tried to end him.

He raised his middle finger.
"I lost that round. But I'll be back next week." He was back disarming bombs in less than a month.

A 79-year-old Catholic priest, Fr. Larry Holland, who is recovering from a hip fracture at Vancouver General Hospital in Canada, said he was offered Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) twice by hospital staff, even though he made clear he is a Catholic priest and morally opposed to euthanasia.

@callme_Chari That's what happens when you teach youngsters to play w/ their balls on national TV.

Woah! Just three days ago the Red Sox fired their manager and five coaches and now this from the Phillies.
