There are only 3 categories of people. 1) domestic terrorists. 2) supporters of domestic terrorists. 3) people who want to unite against domestic terrorists and raise their kids in a civil society. Stupidity is no longer a valid excuse, so choose carefully.

Hello Representative Levin, I'd like to introduce you to an organization called the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs. NDI is one of the four core institutes of the National Endowment for Democracy, established by Congress in 1983. It is the Democratic Party's official international arm. Its board members include Stacey Abrams, Donna Brazile, and Michael McFaul. Its previous chair was Madeleine Albright, who served until her death in 2022. Also on the board: Eric Kessler, founder of Arabella Advisors, the largest dark money network in Democratic politics. NDI reported $181.5 million in revenue in fiscal year 2023, nearly all in government grants. NDI's mission, for four decades, has been to tell countries around the world how to run democratic elections. And what NDI consistently tells them, across dozens of countries, is that voter identification is a fundamental pillar of election integrity, and that proving citizenship is a basic prerequisite for participation. Here is what NDI has demanded of other countries: NDI's foundational guide, Building Confidence in the Voter Registration Process (2001), describes voter ID systems as standard democratic infrastructure. It states that voter registries should contain "voters' photographs and even their fingerprints" and that registered voters should be issued "a voter or other ID card that serves as proof of their right to vote." NDI explains that "issuing ID cards, either national or voting, requires a second point of contact between election officials and voters, which introduces an additional safeguard into the system." (pp. 10–11, 15) NDI's 2015 study of voter registration across the Middle East and North Africa goes further, laying out that voters must "prove their identity, essentially demonstrating that they are who they say they are" and must "affirm their citizenship and age." (p. 11) That same 2001 guide identifies married name changes as a routine voter roll maintenance challenge: "Election officials must update information about people who have moved or who have married and changed their surname." NDI also notes that voter lists "may omit information about changes of address or name for those eligible people who have recently moved or married." NDI's recommendation is not to eliminate voter ID. It is to maintain clean, continuously updated voter rolls that accommodate name changes within the system. In its 2009 Bangladesh report, NDI praised the country's new photo-voter list and national ID card system, noting that the ID cards gave "a sense of empowerment and belonging to the disadvantaged and marginalized people of the country, particularly women." Read that again. NDI itself called voter identification empowering for WOMEN! In every case, NDI's position was identical: marriage-related name changes are a solvable administrative problem. The solution is better record-keeping and updated systems. Not fewer safeguards. Not the elimination of voter ID. Your party's own international arm has already solved the problem you bring up. The answer is: maintain the rolls. Update the records. Issue the IDs. Accommodate name changes within the system, don't use them as a reason to have no system at all. The exact opposite of what you push here - refusing to clean voter rolls. By NDI’s own standards, by the standards of your own international soft power branch, YOUR position is the anti-feminist position. The SAVE America Act asks Americans to do less than what NDI demands of Nicaragua, less than what NDI praises in Morocco, and far less than the biometric fingerprint-and-facial-recognition system NDI supervised in Nigeria. Eighty-four percent of Americans support photo ID to vote. Two-thirds of Democrats support it. Jimmy Carter's own 2005 bipartisan commission recommended it. You voted no. Your party's international arm, funded with taxpayer money, chaired by your party's former Senate leader (Tom Daschle), staffed by your party's most prominent voting-rights advocate, says yes. For everyone else. NDI's guides are publicly available on their website. You might consider reading them before you spout mindless drivel to protect your own grift.

Really disappointing to see something like Dune fall into comic book slop tropes like bringing back characters from the dead

@OnChainMee @benfielding My question exactly. AI inference models abound with non-determinsitic functions like SILU. How handled with this magical wrapper?

@benfielding Interesting! How does REE handle side-channel variability or non-determinism across devices?

reproducible execution doesn't need TEEs introducing REE - Reproducible Execution Environment as AI models become more autonomous, it becomes increasingly important that we can verify and audit their execution REE allows this to be done on any device, not just TEEs

@benfielding Sounds interesting. Is this like a Java VM for AI inference? Slower but portable? How do you handle SILU and other non-deterministic functions within AI models?

The first trailer for ‘DUNE: PART 3’ has been released. In theaters on December 18.

@elonmusk …. rumors that Sam Altman will be forced to work in a soup kitchen as part of settlement could not be confirmed at time of publsh.

Btw, the proceeds of any legal victory in the OpenAI case will be donated to charity. I will in no way enrich myself.

"It's like being dropped into a zone of shocking competence." Marc Andreessen on working at one of Elon Musk’s companies: "Everybody is like ultra competent... If they're not, Elon sniffs it out and fires them." "The best engineers in the world want to work for him because he's the one CEO like this who's able to work with them as a peer." "So he just has this incredible positive selection where the smartest people in the world want to work for him and anybody who can't cut it gets fired." "The world sees this as raw aggression." "But it's beyond that. It's a very systematic way of optimizing these companies to be able to take on these profound challenges and then being able to actually solve all the problems... at a speed that's just completely unmatched." @pmarca with @davidsenra

Every. Single. Time

@triadaxiom It’s actually worse. They support rape as a weapon of war. That is how fanatics are.

The reason they deny the rapes by Hamas is because they support the support Hamas despite the rapes, maybe even because of.

@FBIDirectorKash Who paid for this? Who ordered it? Follow the money.

🚨🚨 BREAKING: A federal jury just convicted nine violent extremists for the July 4 attack on an ICE detention center in Texas. They ambushed law enforcement, shot an officer in the neck, and thought they’d get away with it. Today justice prevailed. Terrorists who target our agents will face the full force of federal law. We will continue dismantling violent extremist networks and the funding pipelines that support them. Thank you to our partners across law enforcement and to the Attorney General and the Department of Justice for ensuring these prosecutions moved forward.

@libsoftiktok Marxist street soldiers are expensive to import. The leftists release them back on the street as soon as possible.

The university shooter who was previously convicted of supporting isis was let out early from prison thanks to…. Biden

A good start. Arrest them all. Antifa are terrorists.

The Nine Priciples of Propaganda Can you spot any of them being used on corporate media right now?

@engineers_feed They told me my score was the highest they’d ever seen fwiw

Nothing says unlimited mass migration was a failure, quite like an islamic terrorist throwing an IED and yelling "Allahu Akbar" over a mass migration supporter. Thank you 2026, you continue to deliver in full.

A liberal man in NYC yelling that “everyone is welcome” — as an ISIS supporter throws a bomb over him. Hang this clip in the Louvre.

This is the most symbolic photo of the century: an Islamic jihadist climbing on the back of a Marxist useful idiot.

Mises obliterated the entire socialist project in 1920 with one devastating insight: "Where there is no free market, there is no pricing mechanism; without a pricing mechanism, there is no economic calculation." The socialists spent the next century pretending this problem didn't exist while their economies collapsed around them. And yet here we are, watching politicians promise they can "fix" healthcare, housing, and energy markets through central planning. They can't even calculate the cost of their own programs correctly — how exactly are they going to allocate resources across an entire economy? Every Venezuelan breadline, every Soviet grain shortage, every Chinese famine was just Mises being proven right in the most brutal way possible. But sure, let's try democratic socialism this time. What could go wrong?
