Stephen Miller: “Torture is a celebration of human life and dignity.”
Leaked video shows the current White House Chief of Staff at 17, describing the torture of Iraqis in gruesome detail as the group erupts in laughter.
"How’s this for a vibe check: A Quinnipiac University poll yesterday found that a whopping 63 percent of voters disapprove of how the Trump administration is handling the Epstein-files controversy, with a scant 17 percent approving."
"As John Stoehr points out in his latest Editorial Board newsletter, Trump is now in a position of looking as if he’s eager to cover up this conspiracy, rather than to expose it. Indeed he’s become part of the conspiracy. This has created a crisis of faith for MAGA believers."
This almost theological facet of the story is why Lindsay Beyerstein believes there has been a 'qualitative conceptual shift' that virtually everyone, including yours truly, has so far missed. 'It has become conceivable to some of his most loyal supporters that he’s not just wrong but evil. That can’t be unthought, even if it can be repressed.'”
"Less than eight hours after proclaiming that the Jeffrey Epstein scandal was just some 'new SCAM' perpetrated by Democrats, about four days after he first attempted to float the wildly illogical claim that the Epstein 'Files [were] written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration,' DOJ fired Jim Comey’s daughter, Maurene."
Pam Bondi fired Maurene Comey, one of the people who convinced Jeffrey Epstein's victims she would fight very powerful people to win them justice. And Bondi did so in Donald Trump's name.
"Maurene Comey, who was most recently involved in the high-profile prosecution of Sean “Diddy” Combs, was reportedly escorted out of the building last evening by her colleagues in a show of solidarity.
Hey, there are so many anti-genocide voices to choose from that there is really no reason at all to boost an Assad/Putin/China apologist, "anarchists are all CIA", campist shit-head grifter like Caitlin Johnstone! Please don't!
I don't, specifically because I have your voice (and a couple others) sounding in my head (so do keep shouting, it does have an effect), but it's hard sometimes because even if others make the same general point, the specific way she phrases it succinctly is so temptingly quotable. By no means all the time, but sometimes.
I get it, I used to boost her anti-capitalist stuff once upon a time before I realized how bad she was in other areas (and before she blocked me for calling out her crap back on twitter).
(If anyone needs more info I've got receipts, just ask).
@bifouba I boosted it because I know that type of person personally, I have never heard of this person, but now I'm curious, what they said specifically, so some receipts would be interesting to me. Don't bother if you're not in the mood though
Here's a thread where I documented my experiences and findings re: her antagonism towards anarchists, along with some other stuff about Putin and Ukraine: kolektiva.social/@RD4Anarchy/1…
(When Russia was building up forces to attack Ukraine she claimed that the imminent invasion was nothing but US/Western propaganda to make Russia look bad. After the invasion she took the typical campist position that Putin was justified because big bad NATO was scaring him too much).
She's also mentioned in this article: The ‘Echo Chamber’ of Syrian Chemical Weapons Conspiracy Theorists A collection of non-mainstream bloggers has been paid by a murky organization to parrot Assad regime and Kremlin falsehoods newlinesmag.com/argument/the-e…
As has been remarked widely since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, propaganda emerges from all sides of a conflict during wartime. All of us are likely to
@bifouba Oh boy, that was bad, I managed to not get sick until the antisemitism part though, yay for me I guess. What was weird to me reading this stuff, is how anyone thinks this person's writing is compelling. That's campists I guess *shrugs*.
@bifouba Well, that screenshot on its own would honestly make me uncomfortable already, but I really don't like short form political content, so that might be just me.
@bifouba @leomas Quotable does not mean acceptable. Her pithy little statement erases the entire history of antisemitism. While Leomas might not like short form political statements, I do not have this bias and I find this statement neither useful or elucidating.
@CorvidCrone @leomas I certainly don't care for her implication that it's "causing" the antisemitism, as opposed to activating pre-existing antisemitism, or falling on already fertile ground for it, but I don't particularly care ⋅about⋅ that distinction either, which doesn't seem to me to have much practical consequence, as the end result should be rejected regardless either way.
I'm more interested in the second part. In terms of what is happening right now, there is a pattern of committing atrocities while loudly and proudly proclaiming to be there and doing what they are doing specifically ⋅as⋅ Jews, supposedly ⋅for Jews⋅, while carving Stars of David into the ground of Gaza and the faces of prisoners, explicitly celebrating the burning of homes, schools, and books as Hanukkah lights and so on, and then, having done so, complaining that people object to these actions “just because we are Jews", in what amounts an obscene abuse of both Judaism and the history of antisemitism you mention.
What I am looking for is a more succinct indictment of that obscenity.
“Instead, by passing the rescission package, they endorsed another power grab by the White House. Once again, they demonstrated a full willingness to abdicate all constitutional responsibility. And they showered Trump with yet more cowering deference at great cost to people the world over, including their own rural constituents.” statuskuo.substack.com/p/the-n…

Brain damage is fundamentally verboten in conjunction with IM injection. No one hardly ever says it. They'll use something softer like 'neurologically damaged'.
This is one simple way you can easily spot the aggressors/traitors.
gut damage is another soft way of putting it. Most people think gut damage can be repaired. A bit of detox here a bit of nutrition there etc.
That's not the case with brain damage. Plus nobody can see the gut damage as clearly as you can see brain damage. The scale of brain damage is simply enormous and no one says anything even if it's right in front of their face.
I could write about war and death, about the forgotten poor and the pains - about power-hungry politicians and all their hollow lies— But not today.
I rather just stand barefoot in a puddle, indifferent to the world's noise and sorrow, feeling only the soft rain on this quiet day in July.
Ah, the sky weeps for everyone, but today, it feels like it weeps for me— not out of grief, but like a blessing, brief and gentle, like grace upon skin.
The puddle ripples beneath me, cool against my feet, as if the earth itself is sighing.
Clouds drift like slow thoughts overhead, and the rain doesn’t fall—it lands, like a secret - whispered to the leaves.
So I let the leaders lie, let the missiles fly, let the world keep shouting & cry.
Becourse Today, I offer no outrage at all Only silence— Bare feet in a puddle, at a rainy day in July.
I have a feeling they will come. I don't know what cards Pres. Trump is carrying, and he's got the economy better, the illegals have stopped coming in, the task forces assigned by city and state law enforcement have found so many pedos and have released kids who were or would be trafficked. He made sure that money going to law enforcement, that Biden stopped, would be used to help find kids who need help. I'm more concerned about Johnny Q. Public than I am Epstein at this

Hey, we could just set them *all* aside - we have ignored them before: we could stop paying even lip-service to consultation; we could accept any amount of pollution and degradation of the land and water; we could allow companies to show up with buses and ship everyone hundreds of km away and bulldoze their homes and communities if they are in the way; really we could go back to just starving everyone out, or even save time and shoot, gas, or bomb everyone into mass graves; why not? It’s what all the other fascists are doing now, or will be soon.

Well luckily most companies do not actually provide anything important. If a company like Google or Facebook "stops working" and simply "dead spins" in place... there is little damage caused by that. The companies will go even if no work is done there until it fails eventually. For management this isn't an issue as any failure can be attributed to "changing market conditions".
This is why long established engineering firms get their recently retired employees to come in for 5-10 days a month. Just for a brief transition period of around 10 years or so.
Everything a company values should be documented in a way that new hires can easily learn.
When a corporation talks about "values" though, they often don't include "preservation and sharing of comprehensive knowledge" as one of them.
And then they lay people off, bring in contractors, or outsource knowledge based operations, and wonder why nobody knows what's going on.
AI is going to be like that. People will only operate at the highest levels. You know, the levels where they push a button and expect everything to be automatically how they assume it should be.
this is how i considered myself and my job during my whole carrier. "putting an oil drop in the right place, removing the little sand grain fallen in a gear". "glue people" is a very nifty expression too. Thank you for the story
#altText A social media post from a user "Harmony?" Text: I've spent over 30 years managing large government operations. One lesson I carry with me comes from the retirement years ago of an employee most would have considered "obscure." He was a quiet man arriving each morning with his sandwich, working steadily, and leaving without much fanfare. To many, he seemed part of the furniture. It was only when he left that we truly realized his value. Over the years, he had accumulated deep, almost invisible knowledge. He had taken on countless menial but essential tasks simply because he had the experience to do them well. He was, in many ways, the oil in the machine. His departure forced us to scramble. We suddenly saw how many small, critical pieces he had been holding together, pieces no job description had captured, and no system had tracked. Since then, I've often thought of him when I see organizations subjected to blind cuts. The true cost of such decisions is rarely visible on a balance sheet: it's in the loss of quiet expertise, institutional memory, and the small acts of continuity that keep complex systems running.
Now imagine #humanity as a whole: almost all of human knowledge, plus an increasing amount of AI slop, is stored in digital format (the oldest forms with the longest life, half a Century?) with the newest forms the shorter lifespan. An SSD without power can be expected to retain its data at the most a couple of years. The way it's going, it is more a matter of when, rather than if, we become extinct. A couple millenia and there won't be much left of our "Great" Civilization.
It's one of the reason that offshoring / outsourcing jobs to dramatically underskilled + underpaid resources from poorer countries has caused so much havoc in IT circles over the years.
Bosses just thought the glue people could perform total KT (knowledge transfer) by writing everything down in multiple binders.
They never realized it's the WHY that matters about an operation / process / task at least 50% more than the WHAT.
reading more of the likes of your good self and @molly0xfff and @pluralistic, for example, I am belatedly beginning to understand that the big lads don't actually care if the business works or not.
The money doesn't come from the productivity or output or generation of the business, it comes from *promises*, which investors swallow like prophecy and strawberry wine. The business is slow or clunky or ugly? Who gives a fuck; we're high on grifty speculation, you simpletons.
Many companies have already done this and many of them are now regretting it and scrambling to "fix" the slop that's been pushed to production.
within the past couple months or so I've been getting mails and messages from contacts on behalf of other clients about coming in to refactor or just straight up fix code, apps, etc that were pushed to production by AI Slop and "vibe coders". The tech debt is insane. It's gotten so bad I've been having to refer them to other devs who are looking for work.
I remember doing this a few years ago when companies were just offshoring to India but it was no where near as bad as it is now.
IT has many a tale of Project Leads who grease the wheel of progress yet get fired after every "on time, on budget" success.
On paper, they aren't seen as "productive" (fewer code commits) but they keep teams on task without creating anger, smooth over interpersonal friction, and inject realistic time management.
No death marches. No kids in rehab. No divorces. No mental or health crises. Undramatic function.
Such people are seen as disposable even while creating big revenue.
It feels like when this crash finally happens (ugh, could it hurry up and do so already?) it's going to come down HARD.
Hopefully the surviving companies will offer some very generous raises to the people they stupidly fired before because those people will deserve it to clean up the mess.
The next hype will be GlueAI. It will figure out what all of your AI systems are doing, generate code to interface between the systems, and solve all problems.

For as long as man has vied for dominance over his fellow man, the killing of political rivals or upstarts has been standard operating procedure. Often, the assassination comes in a spectacularly overt form -- such as a stabbing, a shooting, or a hurled bomb. Notwithstanding some of the childishly naive explanations implicating, in certain cases, a "crazed lone gunman,"
reasonable and mature people will naturally and properly suspect that, when such events occur, a conspiracy was afoot and a coordinated coverup is to follow.
But there is another form of assassination that is just as old and just as common, if not more so. That is, the silent assassination by poison. Murder by poison automatically comes with built-in "plausible deniability" because the final symptoms of the deceased can mimic those of other "natural causes."

The Song of Wade was a popular legend that survives in only one enigmatic text. Now, researchers think they have solved a longstanding puzzle about its meaning.
Israël vient de frapper la paroisse catholique de Gaza. Netanyahou est décidé à aller jusqu’au bout du nettoyage ethnique de Gaza. Ce que nous redoutions est arrivé: un char israélien a frappé l’église catholique de la Sainte Famille à Gaza ce matin. Selon le patriarcat latin de Jérusalem, il y a des dégâts matériels et des blessés, dont le curé, le Père Romanelli. Il y aurait aussi deux morts – à confirmer. Mais le message est clair: intimider les chrétiens, pour les obliger à partir, eux dont le maintien à Gaza symbolise le refus du nettoyage ethnique. Dans tous les cas, Israël abîme toujours plus son image: même ceux qui s’accrochent au mythe du « combat judéo-chrétien contre l’islamisme » vont être ébranlés.
Au moment où j’ai commencé à écrire, on pensait qu’il n’y avait pas de mort à déploré lors du bombardement qui a touché ce 17 juillet au matin l’église catholique de Gaza, paroisse de la Sainte Famille. A présent, on parle de deux morts, information qui vient d’être confirmée. L’article sera actualisé dans la journée.
Le patriarcat de Jérusalem n’accorde pour l’instant pas foi à l’armée israélienne qui prétend qu’il s’est agi d’une erreur. Forcer les chrétiens et tous ceux qu’ils protègent à partir
Dans un article publié dimanche 13 juillet, j’avais expliqué comme les chrétiens de Gaza, catholiques et orthodoxes, étaient un obstacle minuscule mais bien réel au nettoyage ethnique du nord de Gaza – et en fait de la Bande tout entière – poursuivi par les Israéliens.
J’ai donc tendance à interpréter le bombardement israélien de ce matin comme une première intimidation: vendredi dernier 11 juillet, l’armée israélienne a demandé aux habitants des deux quartiers où se trouvent les paroisses chrétiennes de la ville de Gaza de partir. Et les chrétiens refusent d’autant plus d’obtempérer qu’ils ont accueilli des réfugiés des zones environnantes, chrétiens ou musulmans; et qu’ils ont des dizaines de malades et de personnes âgées dont s’occuper, qui ne supporteraient pas l’expulsion.
Ce qui se joue, c’est bien l’accomplissement, ou non, du nettoyage ethnique. Netanyahou brûle ses vaisseaux
Certes, les chrétiens ne se mobilisent que très lentement pour leurs frères palestiniens. Il est vrai que les cerveaux sont embrumés par la propagande, qui en a abusé plus d’un, sur le « combat judéo-chrétien contre l’islamisme ». Et puis il y a le bloc immense des « chrétiens sionistes », en particulier chez les évangélistes.
Cependant l’impact du bombardement de l’église de la Sainte Famille – construite au lieu vénéré depuis les origines du christianisme où l’Enfant Jésus et ses parents ont séjourné plusieurs mois au retour d’Egypte – est désastreux pour l’image d’Israël, surtout au moment où l’opinion mondiale trouve enfin un relais élargi avec la conférence de Bogota. Et où la lâcheté des pays-membres de l’Union européenne, qui refusent de suspendre l’accord d’association d’Israël avec l’UE, fait des vagues dans le monde entier.
Netanyahou, clairement, brûle ses vaisseaux. Ces derniers jours, l’armée israélienne a de nouveau bombardé le Liban et la Syrie. Aujourd’hui, il fait bombarder, pour les intimider, les catholiques de Gaza. Le Premier ministre israélien dresse désormais les chrétiens contre lui.
On remarquait ces derniers jours, rien qu’en suivant Vatican News, une sainte colère qui monte au Vatican. Le pape François gardait confidentielles ses pressions sur le gouvernement israélien. A présent, le pape Léon porte le sujet du comportement d’Israël devant l’opinion mondiale.
En octobre 2023, quelques jours seulement après le début de la guerre, les forces israéliennes ont bombardé l'église grecque-orthodoxe de Saint-Porphyre, la plus ancienne de la bande de Gaza, tuant au moins 18 personnes.
Dans la matinée du jeudi 17 juillet, l’armée israélienne a frappé la paroisse catholique de la Sainte-Famille, la seule de la bande de Gaza. Le père Gabriel Romanelli, curé de la paroisse, est blessé, annonce le Patriarcat latin de Jérusalem.
Le Service d’information du gouvernement (SIG) de Matignon a décidé de confier à une entreprise canado-américaine Talkwalker (filiale de Hootsuite contrôlée par des fonds américains) ,la mission de veille des réseaux sociaux, notamment l’analyse de l’opinion sur les réseaux sociaux. Une décision qui suscite incompréhension et inquiétude. Souveraineté, sécurité des données et cohérence stratégique sont au cœur de la polémique.
Matignon a décidé de confier la veille des réseaux sociaux des Français à la société canadienne, Talkwalker. Pourquoi un tel choix ? A priori, c’est une question de tarif. Concernant les inquiétudes sur la sécurité des données sensibles accessibles à l’entreprise, Matignon assure qu’elle sera soumise à des règlements stricts. Une entreprise étrangère pour surveiller les réseaux sociaux des Français
Cela fait 8 ans que l’entreprise française, Visibrain, assure la veille des réseaux sociaux des Français. Son contrat a pris fin et un appel d’offres a été lancé. Mais à la grande surprise de tous, Matignon a choisi de confier la mission à une entreprise canadienne connue sous le nom de Talkwalker, dont les fonds sont américains.
Evidemment, cette décision de Matignon inquiète les Français, certains fonctionnaires et les différents services de l’Etat. Pourquoi confier une mission aussi stratégique à une entreprise étrangère ? Pour mener à bien sa mission, l’entreprise canadienne aura accès à des données sensibles issues des différents services de l’Etat, y compris ceux des armées, du ministère de l’Economie et de l’agence de lutte contre les ingérences étrangères. De plus, Visibrain possède des ressources techniques plus performantes.
Le Service d’information du gouvernement (le SIG), un organe placé sous le contrôle du Premier ministre François Bayrou,semble être convaincu qu’il a fait un bon choix.
Si Talkwalker a obtenu le contrat, c’est surtout à cause de son service à bas prix. Selon Matignon, il serait trois fois moins cher, le prestataire étranger a su séduire un État en quête d’économies budgétaires. Mais à quel prix ?
Il semble que derrière cette économie apparente se cache une perte de contrôle stratégique. Le social listening – l’écoute et l’analyse des tendances sur les réseaux sociaux – est un outil de renseignement civil important, notamment pour anticiper les crises sociales, les mobilisations ou encore les campagnes de désinformation. Confier cette fonction à une entreprise étrangère soulève inévitablement la question : peut-on externaliser la perception de l’opinion nationale à des acteurs étrangers, soumis à d’autres intérêts ? Des données sensibles sous pavillon américain
Le SIG tente de rassurer : les données exploitées sont « publiques », le contrat est « juridiquement en règle », et l’entreprise est « soumise aux règles européennes de protection des données ». Pourtant, ce discours se heurte à une réalité juridique préoccupante : le Cloud Act américain, voté en 2018.
Ce texte autorise le gouvernement des États-Unis à exiger d’une entreprise américaine – ou d’une filiale contrôlée par des capitaux américains – la transmission de ses données, y compris si celles-ci sont stockées à l’étranger. Autrement dit, les données publiques collectées par Talkwalker pour le compte de l’État français pourraient, légalement, être réclamées par Washington.
Par ailleurs, Talkwalker, le prestataire retenu, ne serait pas encore capable de surveiller TikTok, pourtant expressément mentionné dans l’appel d’offres. Or TikTok est aujourd’hui un canal central de diffusion d’opinions, de mobilisation politique et parfois accusé de « désinformation », notamment chez les jeunes. Visibrain, de son côté, le faisait déjà.
La France ne cesse de proclamer sa volonté de renforcer sa souveraineté numérique, de relocaliser ses données, de créer un cloud national, de contrer les influences étrangères… Mais dans les actes, elle choisit une entreprise étrangère pour écouter ses propres citoyens.
Le député MoDem Philippe Latombe, spécialiste du numérique, a publiquement interpellé le gouvernement. Plusieurs fonctionnaires évoquent déjà un refus d’utiliser l’outil Talkwalker, qu’ils jugent risqué et inadapté.
