HEDY LAMARR escaped from her Nazi husband by disguising herself as her own maid, became a Hollywood star, then co-developed a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes - the principles of which are incorporated into today’s Bluetooth and GPS technology.

Hell of a lady.

Quit. Now.

The next movie is to shove your body into a giant mulching machine to make natural gas to power the generators for these idiotic data centers

There's a reason why Meta's employee keylogging plans are only being deployed in the US -- per experts we spoke to, this sort of monitoring would be illegal in much of Europe, where such monitoring is a violation of worker privacy.

In the US, most states don't even require notice of surveillance.

It really does seem like we’re just accepting dystopia in alot of ways. Fundamentally anti-human behavior here.

All Iran has to do is the same as Afghanistan or Vietnam:

Not. Lose.

They don’t have to win. They just have to keep punching.

For the record: The Washington Post can go fuck itself.

For the record: The Washington Post is run by partisan hacks who think we won't remember that they took the *exact* opposite stance when it was Republicans pushing their own gerrymandering grab in Texas last year -- *without* putting it up for a vote.

Reporter: Just explain the computer login issue. Your lawsuit. Contends that you were not able to log in to the system.

Kash Patel: The problem with you and your baseless reporting is an absolute lie. I was never locked out of my systems.

Reporter: The lawsuit says the opposite.

A 3D Printer Brought More Broken Promises to Cairo, Illinois I spotted the printer abandoned off a country road. Finding out how it got there is a whole other story of tangled politics, tiny banks with big business deals, and the future of a town some say canno...

NEW: Two local men promised to build housing with a 3D printer.

That didn’t pan out. When reporter Molly Parker started to investigate what went wrong, she found the printer disassembled on a flatbed truck at a country repair shop.

Then things got weird.

A.I. ‘Hallucinations’ Created Errors in Court Filing, Top Law Firm Says

"The firm provided a ledger of the errors, which spanned three pages and totaled around three dozen. A number of them involved the citation of seemingly imagined passages from real cases."

Q: Can you explain the computer log in issue? Your lawsuit contends you were not able to log in

PATEL: Survey -- how many of you people believe that's true?

Q: Did you communicate that you thought you were fired?

PATEL: It never happened. You are lying.

Q: The lawsuit says the opposite!

We are all prisoners of Trump's ego. NYT subhed: "President Trump has ridiculed President Barack Obama and the agreement, which he withdrew from during his first term. His critics say he could have avoided a war had he left it in place."

CDC won’t publish report showing covid shots cut likelihood of hospital visits The move has raised concerns among current and former officials that the vaccine’s benefits are being downplayed because they conflict with the views of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

“A report showing the efficacy of the covid-19 vaccine that was previously delayed by the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been blocked from being published in the agency's flagship scientific journal, according to three people familiar with the decision”

If Republicans hate the CA and VA redistricting, they can thank the person responsible - Donald J. Trump.

None of it would’ve been possible without his leadership on this issue.

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.

This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

Cowardly fighter pilots who did things like run away when the rest of their squadron was getting jumped and shot to pieces, tended to suffer accidents back at the airfield

Agreed. It is far easier to cram somebody into a neat little box with the label MONSTER on it, and then pretend that we don’t see little pieces of ourselves in them.

Um. I think Humphrey Bogart used that back in the 50s when talking about Katherine Hepburn, when he said, “There’s not a lot there, but what there is, is choice.”

What he DID make you do was appreciate the intellect and force of personality that propelled Herman Goering to the very top of an extremely savage heap.

History records him as an art-loving, perverted buffoon. Movie makes it clear.

He was a lot more than that.

Nah, Bari has so internalized the "Own The Libs" narrative that she's dutifully punishing everyone at 60 Minutes to stamp out any divergence from what the Man-Baby whines about

She's just a spineless sycophant who has no principles or courage
