Yet another privacy violator posing as a VPN
Absolutely happening- research for fighting disease and innovation are being cancelled.
5/ These screenshots are from Jim O’Neill’s LinkedIn. He co-founded the Thiel Fellowship and is a former acting CEO of the Thiel Foundation. Again, O’Neill is now the acting director of the CDC. Thiel, Thiel, Thiel.
Chilling -
This is not just any whistleblower- this is CDO of the SSA. In normal times this would be 24/7 outrage with criminal investigations. Since the criminals are in charge- at least freeze your credit.
Since they hate communist stuff so much, why does the messaging look straight out of 1950s Russia and China?
Also keep an eye on thyroid ❤️🩹
What is wrong with these people?
True- people have no idea
Not just any whistleblower- the CHIEF DATA OFFICER of the SSA tells us that the DOGE bros took ALL the core data and offloaded it.
Four million dollars. They’re cutting a program to test treatments for children with brain cancer to save four million dollars a year.
It is ironic that JFK was the one who promoted American science and innovation

Japan Post just announced they will no longer deliver mail to the United States, joining Germany, Austria, Denmark, Italy, France, and Sweden.
An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.
Forests are burning MUCH bigger and hotter in the Western US... annual area burned increased 10-fold from 1985-2022, and area burned severely increased 15-fold! And hotter, drier fire weather is part of the problem (plus fire suppression & fuels buildup, ofc) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
What We'll Never Know because of Trump's Cuts to Science Funding🧪
holy 💩 security/ privacy news of the day-
Cringe 😬
Pretty much sums up what I thought- also why the Dems are -

🚨 Fun Fact: Painting the entire 1,300-mile U.S.-Mexico border wall black could cost $2.72 BILLION. We are governed by the dumbest people in America.
Holy 💩
But he wouldn’t call them to protect the capital from the mob he incited

They sent approximately the same number of people to re-arrest the sandwich guy as were sent to kill Osama bin Laden.
The Justice Department still employs a former FBI agent (Jared Lane Wise) who was charged with joining a mob’s attack on the U.S. Capitol and cheering on rioters during the Jan. 6, 2021, siege, repeatedly yelling “Kill ‘em!” as they attacked police.
Just as timely today
It would be wrong to say that the GOP is a party of pedophiles. But it seems like they are pedophile-philes
The United States government taking steps to deliberately introduce cryptocurrency into the heart of our nation’s economy is kind of like a healthy person deciding to pick up a syringe and inject an unknown, harmful virus into themselves.
I was walking alone at night from the subway to my hotel- got lost and walked for 45 minutes- only danger I saw was a Pomeranian on a leash. Lots of residents out walking and enjoying the summer evening.
Well done @grok, you nailed the style a probable content perfectly
BUT robbing one ex-doge employee justifies calling in the national guard, taking over the police and turning a city into a police state.
Bowser: "I think I speak for all Americans -- we don't believe it's legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil."
Not lying—-
That quote- “ we live in an infinite sea of rats” is so profound
Read ANYTHING @sarahkendzior.bsky.social has written. I started reading her during the Biden admin, and her latest “They Knew” ties it all together. NO ONE is spared, and she lays it all out with terrifying clarity.
The wind has changed- they embraced the clickbait king- profiting off the antics.
Every day is another WTAF
Hello journalists. If you report this you gotta say that under the Constitution he has no power to do it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
That awkward moment when your government removes sections of the United States Constitution on the public government website dedicated to the full Constitution being available for all to read. This Wayback Machine link shows the side-by-side comparison: web.archive.org/web/diff/202...
GOLDMAN: “.. We expect GDP growth to remain below potential at 1% in Q3 and Q4, implying 1.1% growth Q4/Q4.”

I was so encouraged by one of my students this summer. He said that he felt it was most important not to use AI in the brainstorming stage because that is where humans can be most creative. 🥹
Our department’s incoming master’s student cohort is down 80%.
FEC records show Elizabeth Fago donated $1M to Trump's super PAC in April. What happened next? Three weeks later Trump pardoned her son, a nursing home executive who pleaded guilty to withholding millions from his workers' paychecks (while buying a luxury yacht). Everything is for sale.
I’m on my 2nd espresso this morning 😎

YES! The interview with Musk and his son X basically admitted that the voting data went through Starlink and X laughed about they could do whatever they wanted.
I can confirm this is true.
YES!
The FSB cyberespionage group known as Turla seems to have used its control of Russia's network infrastructure to meddle with web traffic and trick diplomats into infecting their computers. www.wired.com/story/russia...
I think the AI use is appropriate and supportive in this space. It allows representation for youth to look up to, and makes science accessible. It also protects creators’ privacy and safety a bit as there are too many dangerous people out there.
Anyone else in academia struggling to do research? It seems like the concept of working together and using technology to help everyone is gone-

They didn’t “cause the pandemic” unless it was the U.S. that released a weaponized version of COVID in China back in 2019 while Trump was president.
Thank you! A huge water consumer is the data centers for AI. Not to mention fracking.

They are against abortion but ok with cutting life-saving medical treatments 😡
More like a blazing forest fire 🔥
You are not wrong
corporate news is being fully retooled as an authoritarian entity fascism and authoritarianism of the kind we are facing is not planning on just packing up when Trump is gone they plan on America being a one party state for generations.
Don’t forget the life saving food they destroyed rather than give it to starving children in Africa
I’m noticing EVERYTHING is more expensive in the grocery stores—- except eggs. Why aren’t we seeing unending reports about the higher prices and blaming the current administration? 🤷♀️ They did that with the Biden administration- ignoring the Bird Flu.

If a foreign adversary wanted to bring down a country- this what they would do.
Seeing Dr. Oz talking about the latest scam—-😬

Talent 🔥
Australia's decision to require age/identity verification, including facial scans, in order to do a Google search is dystopian. We're watching the death of an open, anonymous internet, and the gradual takeover of information online by the state — under the guise of protecting children.
Surprise, surprise
“Superman is too woke!” Literally the first page of the first ever appearance of Superman:
This is Patty Hartman, a 17 year veteran of the Justice Department. She was fired on Monday by Pam Bondi. She is warning of a wave of retribution inside the agency. You must hear her words for yourself.

Wow- read the story. Terrorizing a 71 year old US citizen.
That would be SO AWESOME 👏 live painting a poster would be awesome.
Bingo
💩
YES!
This thread should be required reading-
“Under U.S. responsibility”. Meaning WE are paying Salvador U.S. tax dollars to their officials—> corrupt politicians—> crypto. I wonder how much is being funneled for each migrant?
No awareness of the purpose or Use Of Capital LETTERS. 🤦🏻♀️

Trump said no one joined the military under Biden. This hero did. people.com/coast-guard-...
