First Colbert, now Jimmy Kimmel is pulled?

Wild & despicable.

Brian Kilmeade on Fox says to "involuntarily euthanize" (murder) unhoused & Ill people, yet he remains employed & on air.

This is exactly what happens in real time as dictatorships form. Textbook.

"Israel has committed genocide in the Gaza Strip, UN Commission finds"

The UN joins other experts including the International Association of Genocide Scholars, Holocaust historians, and multitudes of lawyers in concluding this is genocide.

It is awful they did that to you, I worked for a year on software described as for "city planners" but was actually mainly mapping software for military training software.

Firing the head of a data agency in this case the bureau of labor statistics is a classic authoritarian move when the actual data is not the data authoritarians want.

Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics hours after a weak labor report.

Trump fires labor statistics boss hours after the release of weak jobs report

Without evidence, Trump called the data "rigged" and implied that BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer manipulated the numbers "for political purposes."

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Apparently there's a bill that'd allow companies & retailers to issue & use their own crypto.

Let's avoid going back to the bad old days of company scrip where your company salary only works at company store, they trap you, & devalue wages... but on a computer.

Drone production is up to ~4 million side per year Russia’s invasion of Ukraine ~8m total for 2025.

Killing & kill chains may be the biggest real-world application of robotics today.

I wonder how many drone papers are honest about this vs “search & rescue”.

4.5 Million Drones Is A Lot Of Drones. It’s Ukraine’s Goal For 2025.

The Russian production goal is slightly lower.
