On the occasion of its recent 4K release, I wrote about Killers of the Flower Moon

🚨 SAM ALTMAN: “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”

This a modern-day Holocaust, except this time the Nazis have nuclear weapons and the unconditional support of the world’s top superpower.

Oklahoma orders all public schools to teach the Bible, effectively immediately.

Any teacher who refuses could lose their license.

Stopping this genocide requires some combination of Israel's military defeat, U.S. elite becoming convinced there was a significant enough threat to u.s. interests as they perceive them to act or defeating elites domestically through direct action. Probably all three.

@epistemophagy @poisonjr @WORMSALESMAN That performance is their way of trying to reassure everyone that they can provide more than just financially without having to actually get off the couch to do anything. "I'd beat that guy up if he touched you, so I'm pulling my weight here."

[Jacob Flaherty @JacobBFlaherty]

@epistemophagy @poisonjr @WORMSALESMAN I think you're spot on. I also think that performance is often an attempt to demonstrate "value" to a partner in cases where a man is insecure about his contribution to a relationship. I've seen it in "traditional" families where the husband works and the wife is a homemaker.

Israel used an automated system called "Where's Daddy?" to ensure it killed AI-designated targets while the targets were at home with their spouses and children:

@JonkJahnson @afrocosmist What's the plane in the fourth pic? That's gotta be one of the coolest looking aircraft I've ever seen.

@p8stie The Terror by Dan Simmons. It's about the Franklin Expedition, which vanished while searching for the Northwest Passage in the mid-1800s. Lots of compelling characters and supernatural horror, if that's your thing.

[Jacob Flaherty @JacobBFlaherty]

@ASFleischman @TotalTimWright John Brown's raid did no such thing. Lee was pro-Virginia, not pro-secession. Had he been some sort of "radicalized" secessionist, he wouldn't have been so torn over resigning from the US Army.

@0ddette Do you have a link to this interview? I'd love to read more of it.

[Jacob Flaherty @JacobBFlaherty]

@poisonjr Honest question: is "knapsack" a NYC regional thing or just more Eric Adams weirdness? I've never heard someone use that term outside of a book.

I deleted the video bc it’s worse than I thought. This video is actually a journalist catching an ISRAELI TANK positioned on Salah Al Din Rd targeting a car trying to pass the only highway that goes north to south. They have officially stationed on Gaza’s main st.

@infinityncosmos @p8stie Usually a person who owns several villages enfeoffs it to you in exchange for your military support. Gotta wonder what sort of state p8stie's feudal levies are in, though.

@fakehistoryhunt What is that strip of cloth with the cross in the first pic?

[Wayne Mortensen @WayneBuildsLNK]

Tragedy unfolding on Keystone Pipeline near the Nebraska/Kansas border. What @TCEnergy will not admit is that they cannot “clean” this up. They will scrape the vegetation and topsoil, treat it, and haul to a landfill. Riparian (stream) damage for decade+.

@mjnblack "The Collinses, who identify as secular Calvinists,"

This is like the lynchpin line of the whole article. It explains so much about these people. Keep the most evil parts of religion, and get rid of any belief in something greater that isn't ultimately self-serving.
