Imagine you're president, and someone in prison awaiting trial had dirt on you, dies suspiciously. Then ~6 years later people clamor for info you'd kill to suppress to be released anyway.
Might make you post: people should "not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about."
Rough Tuesday for Dopey McGropey.

What’s going on with my “boys” and, in some cases, “gals?” They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening. We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and “selfish people” are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again. Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, …

US-Expertin: "Auch Trump hat keine hohen Erwartungen"
Viele Expertinnen und Experten äußern gemäßigte Erwartungen an das Treffen zwischen Putin und Trump - so auch Sudha David-Wilp, Vizepräsidentin des German Marshall Fund. Selbst Präsident Trump habe keine hohen Erwartungen, sagte sie bei tagesschau24. "Er lässt alles offen." Interessant sei aber Trumps härtere Haltung gegenüber Putin, "weil er lan…

"Come to mind the names of violent battles: DR-DOS, Taligent, AmigaOS, Newton OS, Windows for Pen Computing, Copland, Vino, NeXTSTEP, Novell NetWare, JavaOS, BeOS, DoJ vs Microsoft, Rhapsody, POSIX, Linux is communism, Linux is a cancer, Samizdat, Windows Vista, SCO, Symbian, Solaris, OpenSolaris, systemd, Windows Phone, MeeGo, Tizen, Firefox OS, Sailfish OS. Countless mythical man-month hours were lost. Millions of lines of code were fired."

I have my share of issues with Parkrose Permaculture, but she has a lot of things I do strongly agree with. I can't stress enough that you never dehumanize your enemies. You can respond appropriately to violence. You can defend yourself from them by any means necessary. But you do not dehumanize them. You always limit your response to the minimum necessary to defend yourself.
There are a number of former Nazi skins who became antifascists after realizing they were wrong. Those folks tend to be some of the most dedicated because they feel a debt, and some of the most knowledgeable because they were there. Coming out of these types of cults, police included, is hard and takes time. A lot of us don't have the ability to work with them. But some do.
By repeatedly humanizing your opponent, you can break some of them. The #Seattle Police Department was not defunded but saw a massive reduction in numbers because their morale was destroyed. Some people will never change. Some people are broken and feel like they need the power. But if you change one person's mind, even give them something to think about, it's a crack. If even one cop quits, that's one less trained gun pointed at you in the future.
The 18 year old marines and federalized national guard troops out there are literally kids. A lot of them came from poor communities. They are being used in a way they haven't been trained to do, doing things they (should) have been told are not legal. They joined to get out of poverty, to go to college, or to "defend the American people" (regardless of how misguided that is). Few, if any, of them joined to abuse people. They will be especially open to persuasion.
Remind those troops that they are carrying out illegal orders, that they are being called on to violate their oath to protect the constitution, that they are suppressing the free speech of the fellow Americans they swore to defend. Remind them that the people they could be illegally arresting now are just like their parents, their neighbors, their families, the friends who didn't join. Remind them that this is the first step. They will be called on to kill Americans if they let this keep going.
Remind them ICE sleeps in hotels while they sleep on the ground. Remind them that their drunk and incompetent leadership thinks of them as disposable tools. Remind them that some of these people are out protesting *for them* against cuts to the VA and other services. Remind them that the people they're defending refuse to make college free so they can recruit from poor schools. Remind them that they will always be welcome when they're ready to join the side of freedom and justice.
When you dehumanize your enemies, you unify them. When you humanize your enemies, you can divide them. There is no weapon available to us right now so powerful as compassion.

Ach ne, das kann doch nicht sein… oder oder… oder doch?! Marketing #Propaganda ist ja nicht neu:

Ist Reasoning ein Marketing-Trick? Apple-Forscher zeigen gravierende Probleme von KI-Modellen - t3n – digital pioneers
Apple-Forscher:innen haben ein neues Paper veröffentlicht, das die Fertigkeiten von Reasoning-Modellen infrage stellt. Demnach sollen aktuelle Modelle von OpenAI, Google und Anthropic nur in Benchmarks zuverlässig funktionieren, aber an echten Aufgaben grandios scheitern. Immer mehr KI-Unternehmen setzen ihren Fokus auf Reasoning-Modelle, die in der Lage sein sollen, komplexe Gedankengänge zu haben. Doch selbst OpenAI musste […]

"In der Sache ist diese Polarisierung überhaupt nicht gerechtfertigt. 80 Prozent der Menschen in Deutschland befürworten ein Ende des Abtreibungsverbots in Deutschland. Selbst unter Ka­tho­li­k*in­nen sind es 65 Prozent. Umso wichtiger ist es für rechte Kräfte, die Posten von Rich­te­r*in­nen in ihrem Sinne zu besetzen: Um Liberalisierungen von oben zu verhindern oder gar Verschärfungen zu forcieren."

Der Bundestag hat Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf nicht zur Verfassungsrichterin gewählt. Es ist ein Erfolg der Rechten. Ganz vorne dabei: die Union.
