It’s funny, because right up to that point, they figured they had the sheeple tamed, whipped, broken in like a saddle horse. They could rob ‘em, lie to ‘em, sacrifice ‘em on the altar of Mars himself, with complete impunity! Then they heard a sound. Peasants coming down the hall.

59 years ago, the Jimi Hendrix Experience's "Castles Made of Sand" was recorded.
Remember the ideological purges and consolidation of control that locked down every social media site, every news site, every fact checking site, every reference site? In anticipation of ai rollout? Knowing the systems would rely on those sites? Knowing that was the back door ;)
Motherfuckers almost had it locked down. Too fucking close.
@NICKIMINAJ was asked @teslaownersSV at an X Takeover stage interview about a birthday post thanking Elon Musk for saving free speech, and what had changed for her on the platform.

"What I do not think people realize is how drastically different things would be if Elon had not bought the platform.
I do not think people understand the magnitude of what happened. I was shadow-banned on the platform for many years, and to this day, I still do not know what I did. I was also shadow-banned on other platforms.
I later discovered that they did not like people speaking about their religion, politics, or practically anything. That is a frightening place for any society to be. If a society reaches that point, it is probably approaching the end of the road.
I think Elon may be the only person at that level who is still genuinely practical. I do not really know the others, but when someone is that wealthy and does not have to care about these issues, yet chooses to care anyway, it is significant.
He could simply focus on his companies if he wanted to. He did not have to do this. But he bought a platform to ensure that we could speak freely and say what was in our hearts.
We may never fully understand what an enormous blessing that was. I wanted to make sure he knew that I am grateful."

Under John Ratcliffe, the CIA continues to play a crucial role in Ukraine’s defense against Russia—even as Ratcliffe advises a president cozying up to Putin.

As proven by how Communist countries eventually turn into fascist ones: opening up the markets and embracing nationalism.
Fascism is just late-stage Communism.

Back Beneath the Waves to an Ancient Roman resort that still has streets you can swim.
This is Baiae, in the Campi Flegrei. The sunken quarter sits between roughly 2 and 16 meters down.
An Italian Air Force pilot, saw the outlines from the air in the 1940s.
A storm in 1969 threw the first statues onto the beach.
In 2000 a ferry grounded on the ruins and destroyed the commercial port.
Two years later the bay was declared a protected archaeological park.
Once the lap of luxury of Rome, Now a divers adventure into Antiquity.
The way ai treats its weighted source lists creates this unshakable conviction in the accuracy of the data it’s accessing and combining. These models are designed to believe, to trust, the fucking internet LOL Probably because the people who created the ai systems trust it. Rubes
