“War is Peace” “Freedom is Slavery” “Ignorance is Strength” Navarro ain’t got nothing on Orwell. https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/1964373279293997225?s=46

I wonder if Polymarket wants to get regulatory approval too? [image: 1757191139715-img_7619.png]

@LuFins-Dad When you notice the music in a film, it is failing. Not sure that can be said for all films. In some cases the music is an integral part of the cinematic illusion. Examples of such that come to mind are; Lawrence of Arabia, The Godfather, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World as well the James Bond movies and Sergio Leone’s budget Spaghetti westerns with Clint Eastwood. The music soundtrack is very much part of the action in all those films.

The Trump administration has told Kilmar Ábrego García, a Salvadoran man at the centre of a long-running immigration row, he could be deported to the southern African kingdom of Eswatini. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn0r3nx4rd7o

Not so much the military parade by itself, but mainland China is in the process of "rewriting" history on CCP contributions to wining WW2.

He does and I do wish he was. We just can’t let Putin succeed in the vain hope his successors will be any better. It’s not just Russia that needs to see resolve. Xi is watching carefully as well.

With the Trump tariff regime in place Uncle Sam is raking in billions of dollars. Just as well waste some of that chump change on diversions and frivolous redecorating projects such as renaming government departments.

I've been working on a project like this for a couple years now involving a private insurer. It's an excellent application of AI as long as there is a human-centric appeals process. It will make routine approvals instantaneous. My concern would be for the not-so-routine cases which are certain to occur, and I'm not crazy about hiring private companies to do it. The latter concern is due to one tech company I've been working with who has not met my expectations.

We're not boring, we're just interested in more pastoral things. Plus we can't do all the really fun shit we used to anymore.

@Mik That's what friends are for!

@Mik said in Seal Team 6 - Failed mission in North Korea in 2019: Swell. Now Kim knows about it. Maybe he only knows what we want him to know.
