Demented Man Makes Up New Stories About 9-11

At an event ahead of the 25th anniversary of 9/11, President Donald Trump told a story Tuesday in which he said two firefighters picked him up off the ground near the U.S. Steel Building close to ground zero “right after” the terrorist attacks and whisked him away because they thought the building was going to collapse on them.

“I’ll never forget two firemen, we thought it was coming down on top of us, and two firemen, big, strong guys. And I’m not the smallest guy in the world. They grabbed me under the arm, said, ‘Got to get out of here,’” Trump said, without specifying exactly when the incident occurred.

“They literally lifted me up. This is not easy to do. I’m big. They lifted me up, and they started running with me. I said, ‘Fellas, I can run myself.’ But they were amazing. But they thought it was coming down,” he added.

That's just a pack of lies. Ted Cruz, one of Trump's most loyal toadies, excuses Trump from his lies because 9-11 was a long time ago:

Yeah, right. If you're 31 or older, you remember where you were and what you were doing when you learned of the attacks. Just like if you're 68 or older, you remember where you were and what you were doing when you learned that JFK had been shot.

Trump makes up shit and he's always the hero in his own story, except for his racism, pedophilia and draft-dodging.

Anthropic is Evil. Prove Me Wrong.

Job postings and interviews with senior security officials at Anthropic show that the frontier AI lab is building out an extensive monitoring system to keep tabs on activists who oppose the rapid development of artificial intelligence.

In addition to monitoring activists in the vicinity of Anthropic executives and keeping tabs on protests near physical Anthropic assets, the firm is also implementing a “pre-crime” approach, attempting to predict incidents before they happen. In some cases, that also means reporting suspects to police before a crime occurs.

So what they are doing is reporting people who don't like Anthropic to the cops without providing any evidence that they have done anything wrong.

Anthropic is proving the truth in the supposition that all corporations are sociopathic entities.

Anyone who is hassled by the cops because of anything to do with AI needs to file a freedom of information request, sue them if necessary and then sue the pants off of Anthropic.

Meanwhile, Anthroic isn't the only entity adopting a "pre-crime" approach. Those jackboot-wearing fascists at the Border Patrol are doing the same.

Swinging These Down, Here

On Trade Wars

This is a long piece, but unless you're a professor in economics, you might learn something.

If You Served and You Are OK With This Bullshit, Bless Your Heart

This is his latest bit at cosplaying as a war hero:

Trump is a draft-dodger whose only bits of known violence have been inflicted on women likes to cosplay that he was awarded the MOH. If any other politician had done that, it would be a national scandal.[1] But the MAGAts think its great and the GOP caucus in Congress is too cowed to utter even a peep.

What about you? If you served and you are OK with this, then you've been quaffing the Trumpy Kool-Aid to the point of lethal toxicity.

Let's compare a president who served to one who didn't, shall we?

Never forget that Trump is a bully and a craven coward who hid in a food truck with his primary daiper-changer, letting a few hundred people serve as unwitting decoys for his gutless ass.

Shitposter-in-Chief

He's started a war he can't win, inflation's rising, diesel fuel's hitting record highs, his top lackies couldn't negotiate a lease to an ice cream truck, let alone cut a deal to end his stupid war, and what does he do (in between Natalie changing his diaper? He shitposts about renaming New Mexico.

This after yet again making the US look like a buffoon nation.

Thanks, all you jagoffs who voted for him.

Amazon Crash

An Amazon 767 ran off the runway in Miami this afternoon, killing five.

Five is a little more than the standard complement of a 767 crew, even with a jumpseat rider or two. I'm guessing that one or more people on the ground were killed.

Your Sunday Morning Aircraft Noise

OSH arrivals:

ICE is Full of Criminals and Pedos

They skipped background and fingerprint checks in their rush to fill out their ranks of brownshirts.

Which should surprise nobody who has been paying attention.

Reminder: Musk is Pro-Kiddie Porn

That's his stance: Deepfaking images depicting child sexual abuse is permissible.

So far, the courts aren't buying it.

SpaceXAI runs X and Musk seems to be involved in that up to his eyebrows, so I have little doubt that he's involved in this. It seems like just the skeevy sort of shit he'd be into.
