The Onion once again being too accurate for its own good

NEW YORK—Admitting that they had been working for several years without any discernible success, FBI agents confirmed Wednesday that a local left-wing political group was too disorganized to infiltrate. “We’ve had a few guys in there posing as members and trying to manipulate them into committing acts of violence we can arrest them for, but these people don’t ever do anything violent—they don’t ever do anything at all,” an undercover FBI agent told reporters, adding that the agency believed they’d made headway with turning the leader of the Liberation Socialists group into an informant until the guy didn’t show up to a meeting for months. “These people are incredibly disorganized. We try to attend their meetings to get them to unwittingly work on our behalf, but half the time no one shows up but the undercover agents, and the other half of the time the meetings are so confusing it’s impossible to follow what they’re actually trying to do. We also tried to sow division in their ranks to ensure that they couldn’t become powerful, but that didn’t work because these people already all fucking hate each other. They spend all their time arguing about minutiae, and most of the time when we try to talk them into doing something violent to the communal spaces in their community, they don’t even know where to go. They’re just a mess.” The FBI agent added that he was worried the left-wing organization was on to him, as he’d already aroused suspicion by interrupting a meandering discussion of principles with a straightforward plan of action.

We Get Paid to Vaccinate Your Children’: Pediatrician Reveals Details of Big Pharma Payola Scheme -- In an interview on Children’s Health Defense’s “Vax-Unvax” bus, Dr. Paul Thomas exposed the financial incentives pediatricians receive for administering vaccines, including kickbacks of up to $240 per visit.\
“You cannot stay in business if you’re not giving pretty close to the CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] [childhood vaccine] schedule,” said Thomas, who ran a general pediatrics practice with 15,000 patients and 33 staff members.
Thomas also addressed the risks and harms of vaccines — including COVID-19 mRNA vaccines — and the importance of boosting our immune systems naturally.

I hate that LLMs are taking away my own right to idiosyncratic writing. I use em-dashes. I use semicolons. I use triads. Like, I write a lot, and when you consume a lot of writing, and gain a genuine love of it — of punctuation, of the subliminal effectiveness of certain techniques — you start to use them innately. And now everyone is recognizing some of these traits of effective writing to actually be traits of #AI. I guess the only bits of distinctiveness I still have left from machines are my very short sentences and my unnecessary cursing:

Fuck LLMs.

A shooter travels to Manhattan planning to target corporate executives he blames for his health issues. He leaves behind a note that law enforcement won’t release and the news media is happy to quote from selectively but won't publish.

Sound familiar?

kenklippenstein.com/p/nfl-shoo…

The parallels between Shane Tamura, the 27-year-old Nevada man who killed four people in a Midtown Manhattan office one week ago today, and alleged assassin Luigi Mangione are uncanny. Unlike Mangione, however, Tamura’s victims had nothing to do with his reported health issues. As a result, his rampage was framed as a random act of “senseless violence,” as President Trump declared. But former friends of Tamura’s that I talked to say there’s more to the story: that his suicide note’s reported claim that “football gave me CTE” ( Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy) is plausible, given his many years as a high school football star.

Haaretz: death of a 40-year-old prisoner from Gaza has been revealed following his fall while handcuffed from a significant height at a Shabak (Israeli Security Agency) facility.

The incident occurred in January 2024, and his body was transferred without any identifying information, resulting in his registration as "unidentified."

The investigation claimed that he fell from height while attempting to escape from the facility.

As a Palestinian family in the town of Hazma, located northeast of occupied #Jerusalem, prepared to hold their son's wedding, Israeli soldiers raided the family's home and gave them 1 hour to evacuate before the demolition process began.
