/FOX NEWS BREAKING NEWS Former FBI Director Robert Mueller has died at the age of 81, and President Donald Trump gave a sharp reaction on Truth Social. "Robert Mueller just died, Trump posted on Truth Social. "Good, I'm glad he's dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!" Trump added.

Robert Mueller (former FBI director/special counsel) did die yesterday at age 81, but President Trump did not post or say this. His real X profile pic isn't that flag montage, and no credible reports or his recent posts match it. Classic Al- generated meme.

Both responses nailed the key facts: Mueller died March 20 at 81 (confirmed NYT/AP). The screenshot is fake—it's edited to mimic an X post with a non-real flag montage profile pic Trump doesn't use. Update from fresh checks: Trump posted the exact quote on Truth Social today: "Good, I'm glad he's dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!" Slight variance was real- time lag on verifying Truth Social.

Gene sequencing service, AlphaFold model output, LLM to trawl for candidate vaccine profile with specialist research, to give the vaccine guy a spec, then prep a hoofing great ethics case

So dog mRNA guy? What did we learn?

He really loves his dog and used his data science / ML / AI skills as an AI consultancy owner to orchestrate the problem like it was a project and fire the best tools and people at it?

Feeling that one in my bones right now. Why yes brain, you do want to second guess everything

That makes sense, but I'm sceptical of most measures of value beyond individual benefit when we focus on the specifics of generative capability. So much is being layered in to backfill for anything that requires certainty

Interesting one, thank you. I'm seeing a disillusionment ratchet effect in part caused by AGI and full automating being promised every funding round since ChatGPT was fired out. It is starting to feel a lot like full self driving if we wind back to the first year Musk said it would be next year

I'm trying to understand what the true state of generative AI adoption is for organisations outside of LinkedIn and X AI bubbles. It is honestly tough to find anything that mirrors my observed reality in much published and promoted.

What folk forget about aspirations of replacing humans: Folk pay other folk to take accountability. Not sure how that is going to go with checking AI homework

Austria ditch 'L'amour toujours' song over far-right misuse The Austrian FA (OEFB) will no longer use the song 'L'amour toujours' when the national team plays as it has been misused by far-right sympathisers, the country's media reported on Friday.

There is a P.S. or two for our penguin friend. Often paired with the song 'L'Amour Toujours' which has a nasty history of use in some circles

From the Know Your Meme article in prior post - Penguin Walking Toward Mountain or Nihilist Penguin, also known as Lonely Penguin, Wandering Penguin or Werner Herzog's Deranged Penguin, refers to a viral video originally from the 2007 Antarctica nature documentary Encounters at the End of the World by filmmaker Werner Herzog, which features a lone penguin disoriented and heading toward the interior of the Antarctic continent to its certain death. The clip initially garnered attention online as early as 2010, spreading over the following years. Then, in early 2026, the clip of the bird became a prevalent meme and source for edits on TikTok and Instagram, typically paired with a pipe organ cover of Gigi D'Agostino's Eurodance song "L'Amour Toujours," specifically a performance of it by German organist Andreas Gärtner. The combination of the somber, religious-sounding music and the penguin's stoic march into oblivion is commonly used in memes with text captions to express feelings of existential dread and giving up, or the urge to abandon society.

The TL;DR on the penguin meme

We could try to turn the 'Penguins live in the Antarctic - duh' and farce of the US Gov attaching Greenland policy to a suicidal mission rejecting societal cohesion, but maybe just watch what good folks are doing for others right now /END

Meanwhile, what is the official US government messaging today?

Nihilist penguins marching away from peers towards almost certain death - it references memes based on Werner Herzog's 2007 documentary 'Encounters at the End of the World'

Surface purpose is Greenland purchase / annexation propaganda

Clergy arrested, businesses shutter in Minnesota Police arrested dozens of clergy members who sang hymns and prayed as part of a day of protests against Trump’s immigration enforcement operations.

The world watching state reactions to the protests - Australia here - you would frankly not know this had happened in other social media silos www.afr.com/world/north-...
