Holy crap —
Look what JD Vance said in that supposedly classified (?) convo on Signal. Check out the emoji responses.

So when someone takes screenshots in a Signal group chat, an alert doesn’t appear on the screen?

@jstatepost Oh absolutely 110%. Horrible.

@jstatepost Also, where was Trump in all this? Did Pete and JD make the decision to bomb and then tell Trump about it?

Okay, this is just creepy—

This just appeared after my browser updated and I’m not sure yet if the Copilot-watching-you “experience” happens only when one presses the microphone button, but I don’t want it in my browser at all.

“Around 2 a.m., the convoy of 22 buses, flanked by armored vehicles and police, moved out of the airport. Soldiers and police lined the 25-mile route to the prison, with thick patrols at every bridge and intersection… for a Venezuelan plucked from America, it must have appeared dystopian—police and soldiers for miles and miles in woodland darkness.”

“The intake began with slaps. One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. But maybe it’s only because he didn’t look like what I had expected—he wasn’t a tattooed monster.”

“The men were pulled from the buses so fast the guards couldn’t keep pace. Chained at their ankles and wrists, they stumbled and fell, some guards falling to the ground with them. With each fall came a kick, a slap, a shove. The guards grabbed necks and pushed bodies into the sides of the buses as they forced the detainees forward.“

“Inside the intake room, a sea of trustees descended on the men with electric shavers, stripping heads of hair with haste. The guy who claimed to be a barber began to whimper, folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell. He was slapped. The man asked for his mother, then buried his face in his chained hands and cried as he was slapped again.”

“After being shaved, the detainees were stripped naked. More of them began to whimper; the hard faces I saw on the plane had evaporated. It was like looking at men who passed through a time machine. In two hours, they aged 10 years. Their nice clothes were not gathered or catalogued but simply thrust into black garbage bags to be thrown out with their hair.”

sell, sell, sell —

Now Tesla is down over 5%.

Lol… so funny— commentators are finally talking about Tesla’s fundamentals (which have been crappy— they haven’t had the sales).

Apparently now investors are (finally) thinking about whether Tesla’s planned move towards RoboTaxis and robotics will actually increase revenue. Lol… so crazy that they had to ponder it for so long. Maybe they just figured out Musk is a BS-er.

I wonder if Musk gives him commissions?

All Health and Human Services (HHS) employees were offered $25,000 to quit

… in an unsigned email.

HHS oversees the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

About future layoffs, RFK Jr. says that if the employees have been involved in “good science,” they have nothing to worry about 🥴
