insta_feedOBVIOUSLY THEY MUST BE STOPPED FROM TAKING POWER — BY, TO COIN A PHRASE, “ANY MEANS NECESSARY.” To protect our democracy.
they keep telling us that when they’re back in power they’re doing mass incarceration for political dissidents as if this is as normal a thing to say as “we disagree with your views on abortion” or something https://t.co/f1nHNtPBWk

That’s right. States don’t get to decide which federal laws apply to them. We settled that question decades ago, at great cost, and the answer hasn’t changed.
These are the same people who constantly warn about “threats to democracy,” yet believe they can bypass the Constitution…

This is remarkable to watch on multiple levels. There is the diplomatic dimension, where an American Under Secretary of State is not supposed to call a spade a spade. But when the people demanding deference to those outdated conventions are the very same elites who fear their own… https://t.co/neIazN9ciO

insta_feedNOTHING IS SAFE: Quantum computing promises extraordinary power, but that same power may expose new security weaknesses. “Published in the Proceedings of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the study argues that protecting quantum computers will require more than software safeguards, emphasizing the importance of securing the underlying hardware as well.”
This is, of course, true for existing systems too.

insta_feedTHE CRITICAL DRINKER: The Golden Globes Happened, I Guess…
Back in 2010, when the gulf between reality and what the legacy media was reporting was too big to ignore, I wrote, “A few years ago, the news industry built a mausoleum of their own — remember the Newseum? And that’s not the only place where they’ve entombed themselves. Their news product, particularly on TV, is essentially a closed-circuit system designed to assuage the ruling class. That you and I can choose to also watch is merely a byproduct.”
But that’s the news. I’d call the material released by Hollywood the industry’s own closed-circuit system, but I doubt the people who make this material are actually sitting down to enjoy it themselves. Who is consuming Hollywood’s “entertainment” product these days?
QED:
Ouch! The premier was free and flopped.
This is their own fault. And the sad part is they will never admit why it failed, because it would be “problematic” to discuss the truth.
Nobody wants fat diverse Star Trek with “modern” morals.
They want OG Starfleet. https://t.co/PpjezqfGZM

insta_feedTHOMAS SOWELL: My Experience With Artificial Intelligence.
Another target of this particular AI fraud is military historian Victor Davis Hanson. In addition to his profound scholarly writings on military history, Prof. Hanson has also spoken out strongly on many current and controversial issues.
Apparently those who do not agree with him cannot argue effectively against what he said. So they use AI to make him seem to be saying something different.
Political or ideological reasons for creating fraudulent imitations of people on the internet are not the only reasons. Some of the creators of these deceptive imitations have things to sell or donations to seek. These are the easiest imitations to tell are not mine.
My own website—FactsAgainstRhetoric.org—sells nothing and asks for no donations. It contains not only things that I have actually said, but also a great many things that others have said—on subjects ranging from affirmative action to medical issues, education issues and geographic influences.
This is a website set up in hopes of helping young people get an education, despite being in college.
Heh, indeed. Read the whole thing.™
