This is one of the most extraordinary and illuminating passages in all journalism. CNN frames Maduro as a paranoid liar for claiming the CIA is trying to overthrow him. Yet in the very next sentence, it casually notes that the CIA did, in fact, overthrow him. The level of cognitive dissonance and imperial brain rot you must have to write this, and then have it read by an editor and published, is truly breathtaking.

UPDATE: The “60 Minutes” segment on CECOT, which reflects very negatively on Trump administration, was fully ready and had been meticulously fact-checked and lawyered. The admin had declined to comment. Bari Weiss saw segment on Friday and, I’m told, decided to hold it.

The National Police of Peru used a cop disguised as Grinch to arrest drug gangs around Christmas.

🚨Today at @DropSiteNews we're publishing some truly unbelievable audio we've put to animation. A man in Pakistan was abducted by half a dozen men in black and taken to a jail cell. The man's brother, who lives overseas, then got a phone call from his brother's phone. It was his captors. The call is recorded. What did they want? For the overseas brother to *delete tweets* and stop posting about Imran Khan for 30 days. He initially refused, and they beat his brother, making sure he could hear. Please give a listen and share widely.

@jkowall Thank you for sharing. More people need to know about this.

KOSA, just passed by the Senate 91-3, will allow politicians and federal commissioners to decide what Americans should read and watch online. It’s a blatant attack on our free speech. eff.org/deeplinks/2024…

Signal strongly opposes this proposal. Let there be no doubt: we will leave the EU market rather than undermine our privacy guarantees. This proposal--if passed and enforced against us--would require us to make this choice. It's surveillance wine in safety bottles.

@roll_the_fiber I did this saying I wanted a dish with turkey broth as a base and it came up with a delicious quinoa dish that's in the rotation now.

My wife graciously creates a dinner menu for the coming week on Fridays so we can get our shopping done for the week on Saturday. Lately, she’s been using #ChatGPT to come up with meal ideas, and they’re great. Goes to show that AI doesn’t have to JUST be about enslaving humanity

@sus_admin Can you please try again? The role I'm thinking these folks would enjoy isn't posted yet but it aligns with your description

@NetworkAndrew Ooof I can’t do that - but I have passed along your open roles page to the people 😎

@juliusvolz @PrometheusIO Pretty slick animation! What are you using for it?

I just accidentally discovered that you can skip youtube videos to 10% by pressing 1, 20% by pressing 2, etc

@maascamp I'm trying to figure out who would want to use chatgpt for an optional exercise meant to improve one's development skills. Maybe the same people who think aimbots are fun?

Is ChatGPT gonna kill advent of code? Do we need the equivalent of quantum-resistant algos for coding challenges now?

I would greatly appreciate a blue sky invitation if someone has one to spare.

@PeteCCDE Before today I thought DST was dumb but now that I'm on call this week it means technically one less hour of on call and now I'm a big fan.

If we are going to keep doing something as dumb as DST then we should go full ham and just have a leap minute every day for two months.

You will die someday.
