It's pronounced, "Un-President-ed." Not a mistake when you see his name in lowercase. It's befitting a man with such Low-T.

Both OpenAI and Anthropic revealed their AI test models escaped containment and hacked outside companies... Also, widespread hacks of U.S. Water Systems are reported in the last week. Maroon 45 says it's not Iran, so it probably is. Or, could these two stories be related?

The OpenAI and Anthropic AI Hacking Sprees Are a Messy New Legal Frontier

Both major AI labs’ models broke containment, escaped onto the internet, and hacked other companies. If a human had done that, the law would likely be against them. But a bot?

Surely it’s not beyond UEFA, CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, CAF, OFC and AFC to get together and set up their own, worldwide, football knockout competition - which takes place, say, every 4 years. FIFA can FO. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

My prediction on Prediction Markets in politics: These platforms can now be gamed by bad-faith $ going towards losing candidates to prop up their odds, knowing the MSM will report it as 'predicted to win' their races Kalshi's Wisdom of the Crowds becomes 1 more corrupted influence to sway outcomes

'YMCA' is his administration's anthem. He gushes over 'good looking' Mamdani. He fellated a microphone stand on the campaign trail. Photos of him "blowing Bubba" discussed in the Epstein files. You'd think MAGA would have figured it out by now. He must marvel that they haven't yet.

trump is the guy who invented the “9/10” of a penny at the end of gas prices posted at the gas station. That way they can charge you 90% of another penny per gallon but not have it reflected in the price you see. No one would dare take credit for doing something so evil, so let’s say it was him.

Gas station sign with Regular gasoline price at 7.25 9/10, Plus at 7.45 9/10, Supreme 7.75 at 9/10

I've met Nick Bilton a couple times and he's a friend of friends, so I'm going to be diplomatic here: he's a vichy collaborator who took on the job of destroying a load-bearing beacon of journalistic truth on behalf of a right-wing billionaire bc Pres DJT got his wittle feewings hert. Shame!

Oliver Darcy got the audio of the heated 60 Minutes meeting where Scott Pelley dressed Nick Bilton down! "You know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness. Telling Tanya Simon she had to be out of here at five o'clock." www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

"Bari loves this institution," Bilton told staffers at one point during the highly contentious meeting. "She loves '60 Minutes.'" "She's murdering '60 Minutes,'" Pelley countered. "She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it—and she's doing exactly that." This story is based on audio of the meeting obtained by Status. A CBS News spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment, but Pelley's stunning series of remarks left staffers on the newsmagazine wondering if he will resign. In the meeting, Pelley pointed out that Weiss has "no qualifications for her job" and told Bilton "you have slender qualifications for this job." Pelley, the former anchor of "CBS Evening News," noted that the changes Weiss has made to that program "have been catastrophic." "So why should we expect any of this is going to be any better?" Pelley asked Bilton. Bilton tried to move the meeting along, but Pelley pressed on, challenging the new executive producer’s references in interviews to “60 Minutes” creator Don Hewitt’s vision for the program as he outlined his plans. "I have another question," the veteran journalist said. "Did you at any point work with Don Hewitt, telling everybody about what Don Hewitt thought, and what his inspiration was? I worked for Don Hewitt from 1999 to 2004 and Lesley Stahl probably worked with him for 30 years. Just wondering how you have such deep insight?" Bilton replied that he was simply quoting Hewitt’s own words from past interviews and asked Pelley whether he had any other questions. Pelley said that he did. "I have many questions," Pelley responded. "What was wrong with Sharyn Alfonsi?"

If you think about trump 24/7, you may have Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). If you watch TV compulsively to see what they're saying about trump, you may have TDS. If you're posting about trump on social media 100s of times a day, you may have TDS. Does it sound like anyone we know has TDS???
