Seems like bad news to me.
NEW from me:
The US is losing blue-collar jobs for the first time since early COVID or the Great Recession—the country has lost 65k jobs over the last year as manufacturing, transport, & mining employment decline, while growth in construction has nearly zeroed out

I remember when people on the right told me it was laughable to call Trump a Nazi because he didn't start wars of conquest.
When I said last year that the average American MAGA supporter closely resembles a Russian vatnik in both mindset and ideology, I meant it seriously.

The press is waking up to the fact that “spreading democracy around the globe” isn’t the actual objective.
It’s about securing resources (by force) before China does.

Yesterday was the deadline to provide Congress with a full explanation of the Epstein Files redactions... The DOJ failed to comply with the law, again.
The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.
I want to make sure this is very clear.

A major use-case for AI is reality destabilization.
This video, viewed millions of times on TikTok, Facebook and X, claims to show Venezuelans taking to the street to thank the US for detaining Maduro.
But the video is a combination of four AI-generated clips and was first posted on TikTok by a user who frequently shares AI videos. It's not real.

“The dose makes the poison. You shouldn’t swallow an entire bottle of Tylenol, but it’s a safe product, and it would take a higher dose of glyphosate than Tylenol to kill someone.”
That “news” story makes it sound like all non-Monsanto scientists believe Roundup is killing us, it’s just comically biased and inaccurate. My opinion (!) piece was much more balanced, and happens to be right.
