RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated.

“Only very sick kids should die from measles.”

No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We effectively eliminated the virus so children didn’t die.

Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!

This is yet another eugenicist talking point. Rather than encouraging people to get vaccinated, he’s priming us to believe “only the vulnerable children” will die.

I like how people are saying that if Qatar put listening devices in Trump's plane we'd easily find them. Buddy this administration is so incompetent that Qatar could fill the plane with soldiers Trojan Horse style and nobody would notice.
You noticed how google search became unusably shit a few years ago?
Turns out that was on purpose

Martin Diaz came to the U.S. as a toddler, fleeing cartel violence with his family. They had proof of the danger—a letter from a Michoacán official. He married a U.S. citizen & was advancing his visa.

Then ICE showed up at his home in Spokane: no warrant, no ID.

Now Martin’s the one charged—with assaulting them. But the video shows who was really assaulted. This is how ICE operates: lie, escalate, and disappear people.

I've written so many stories about John Clifton Davies, the serial con man who continues to slick-talk tech companies into thinking he's a billionaire investor. In reality, his scam is simple: Find companies that are desperate for investment, dangle $20-$100M investments, and then insist the whole thing is managed by a third-party "due diligence" firm that is actually run by them and is a complete scam. They just go around bilking companies out of tens of thousands of dollars in due diligence fees, and then disappear and rebrand.

Over the past month I've heard from a bunch of his new victims, some of which have already sent his firms money. Incredibly, these scammers are still re-using the same boilerplate text in their bullshit investment sites that they used in past scam sites. It's a reliable "watermark" for them that they never bother changing, no matter how many times I point it out in a story.

Not sure I can be bothered to write about this guy yet again, but for the record his current scam due diligence firms are ROI Capital (roicap.co) and Apertura (apertura.uk).

It's insane to me that book banning is not being treated like the scandal of say, Joe Biden's dog biting a USSS agent. It’s hardly getting any notice at all. “Banning books to appease Trump” isn’t setting off alarms?

Not Jennifer Bendery here because she’s obviously doing the work, but her colleagues in the media are failing us as a country every day.

The Military's K-12 Schools Are Banning Award-Winning Kids’ Books To Appease Trump

HuffPost obtained an internal list of books “quarantined” in Defense Department-run schools because they talk about transgender people and Black history.

ABC News - In what may be the most valuable gift ever extended to the US from a foreign government, the Trump administration is preparing to accept a super luxury Boeing 747-8 from the royal family of Qatar for use as the new Air Force One. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-administration-poised-accept-palace-sky-gift-trump/story?id=121680511

Beware any industry that claims you need more of what it is selling to offset negative externalities generated by its unbridled use. This seems to be the pitch of the AI cheerleaders: If your systems are doing a poor job screening automated activity from AI, the real problem is you're not using enough AI, dumbass.

This is from the socials of Branden Spikes, a former DOGE guy and longtime Musk employee/lieutenant, in re an article on AI cheating in academia.
