“I never asked you about your political views. I have no problem with Republicans, but if you are a MAGA Republican, it would be difficult for us to develop a friendship." Wow. That comment threw me for a loop, but it made me reflect on the bitter divisions within the country. It is literally a civil war.

Kristen Waggoner @KristenWaggoner · Jun 10 This is a sexual assault—unknowingly captured by a mom filming her daughter’s wrestling match. Kallie didn’t know her opponent was male. But she knew something was very wrong. Today @ADFLegal helped Kallie sue the WA officials who placed gender ideology above her safety.
His ideas have been nurtured within a close and influential cohort. “There’s this group of us, 15, 20 of us, that are gay entrepreneurs, and we’ve all holidayed together for years,” D’Souza told The Sydney Morning Herald in February. “It’s an extraordinarily tight community that has propelled me, and all of us together, to the heights of capitalism.” To him, it’s unsurprising that these paradigm-shifting overachievers are all gay, citing the landmark 1973 book The Best Little Boy in the World, about how the pursuit of ambition and excellence can help closeted young men deflect from their sexuality. D’Souza has observed that his friends are “the best little boys in the world. They all went to the fanciest universities and won all the prizes.” These men include Thiel, the German biotech billionaire Christian Angermayer and OpenAI chief Sam Altman — who in 2018 described D’Souza to a reporter as “ruthlessly ambitious” and “obsessed with status and power.” In D’Souza’s interview with the Australian newspaper, he explained why: “It’s only the top 1 percent who matter. These are the people who are going to be the value creators” when, in his view, AI soon completely transforms just about every aspect of economic life.
A Documentary as Innovative as Its Subject Premiering Tuesday, June 16, at 8 p.m. ET on the Criterion Channel, this kaleidoscopic portrait of visionary musician Brian Eno is a different experience each time it’s shown. Using custom non-AI software, director Gary Hustwit and digital artist Brendan Dawes created the world’s first generative feature film, which endlessly reedits and resequences hundreds of hours of never-before-seen footage, interviews, and unreleased music into 52 quintillion (or 52 billion billion) possible permutations. See why critics are calling Eno “marvelously watchable and inspiring” (The New York Times) and “a brilliant and endlessly inspiring creative manifesto” (The A.V. Club). A new version of Eno will be featured each month. Hustwit’s acclaimed design documentaries are also now streaming on the Channel.
The "Annoying AI" ComparisonWhen the sci-fi action film Chappie (2015) was released, critics and reviewers widely compared the titular robot's hyperactive, high-pitched vocal delivery to Jar Jar Binks.
Individually a member of this Committee may protest that he is not antisemitic. He may say that some of his best friends are Jewish–or even that some of his best constituents are Jews. Or he may say, in protest, that he loves Black people provided they keep their place. But despite his protestations of individual innocence, the evidence of the Committee’s collective guilt is clear. Let the committeeman say he is not antisemitic. But the rabble rousing antisemitic Gerald L K Smith publicly approves and supports him. Let the committeeman say that he is not against Black people. But the Ku Klux Klan and all hate groups love and work for him. Let the committeeman whisper in the cloak room that he disapproves of the hatemonger, John Rankin of Mississippi. But has he disavowed him publicly? Has he repudiated his racist doctrine? Has he, more important, recommended legislation which would destroy John Rankin’s racist doctrines? Let the committeeman say he is opposed to inhuman treatment of minorities–and bad housing and unsanitary ghettoes. But what measures has the committeeman personally recommended to change all this? Where has his hand been evident in assisting minorities to take their rightful place among their fellow man? What has he done to make fair employment practices a reality? Let the committeeman say he is not antisemitic. But let the record show he does the work of antisemites. Let the committeman say he is not anti-Black. But let the record show that he does the work of the Ku Klux Klan.

All that is God's, hallowed be His name, must have its counterpart, its backside of evil and negation. So it is with the Word, with the gift of speech that is the glory of man and distinguishes him everlasting from the silence or animal noises of creation. When He made the Word, God made possible also its contrary. Silence is not the contrary of the he Word but its guardian. No, He created on the night side of language a speech for hell. Whose words mean hatred and vomit of life. Few men can learn that speech or speak it for long. It burns their mouths. It draws them into death. But there shall come a man whose mouth shall be as a furnace and whose tongue as a sword laying waste. He will know the grammar of hell and teach it to others. He will know the sounds of madness and loathing and make them seem music.

Back in the early 2000s, before youtube, there was a young woman making very weird videos. I can't seem to find it anymore, but she was locked behind bars, eating fruit loops from a dog bowl, and her partner/cellmate was a deflated blow up doll named Yumi, and Dick Cheney visits them to torment them. I forget, but somehow Yumi becomes human. Her videos were clever. This reminds me of that.

In Cuernavaca or was it Taxco? Jane meets a pimp trombone player and disappears in a cloud of tea smoke. The pimp is one of these vibration and dietary artists--which is a means he degrades the female sex by, forcing his chicks to swallow all this shit. He was continually enlarging his theories... he would quiz a chick and threaten to walk out if she hadn't memorized every nuance of his latest assault on logic and the human image. "Now, baby. I got it here to give. But if you won't recieve it there's just nothing I can do." He was a ritual tea smoker and very puritanical about junk the way some teaheads are. He claimed tea put him in touch with supra blue gravitational fields. He had ideas on every subject: what kind of underwear was healthy, when to drink water, how to wipe your ass. He had a shiny red face and great spreading smooth nose, little red eyes that lit up when he looked at a chick and went ou when he looked at anything else. His shoulders were very broad and suggested deformity. He acted as if other men did not exist, conveying his restaurant and store orders to male personnel through a female intermediary. And no Man every invaded his blighted, secret place.

One of the individuals named in the Indictment is Jimena Romina Araya Navarro, an alleged Tren de Aragua leader and Venezuelan entertainer who was sanctioned by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). OFAC’s press release alleged that Araya Navarro reportedly helped the notorious head of TdA, Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores (a.k.a. “Niño Guerrero”) escape from the Tocorón prison in Venezuela in 2012, and others in this network have laundered money for TdA leaders. Jimena Romina Araya Navarro was indicted by the grand jury for the District of Nebraska for material support to Tren De Aragua for factual allegations stemming from TdA’s nationwide ATM jackpotting scheme that included burglaries of many ATMs located in Nebraska. Jimena Romina Araya Navarro has been publicly photographed at parties and social events with the alleged head of TdA Nino Guerrero.
DISTRICT OF COLORADO: Two alleged leaders of TdA have been indicted by a federal grand jury in connection with a series of crimes in Colorado. These defendants are facing several charges including a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) conspiracy.
