Jay Bhattacharya has ordered that a paper showing the effectiveness of COVID19 vaccines in preventing severe disease and hospitalization be suppressed and hidden.

This man has been crying nonstop about political censorship for 6 years.

But he’s the one who is actually doing it.

Scientists invented a fake disease. AI told people it was real Bixonimania doesn’t exist except in a clutch of obviously bogus academic papers. So why did AI chatbots warn people about this fictional illness?

Bloody hell. Researchers invented a disease, published two fake papers to see if LLM’s would ingest them and kick them up as fact — and then it broke containment and all the major AI’s bought in. Information pollution.

Naturally.

"Today Péter Magyar, the man who will replace Orban after winning the election in a blowout, revealed that Orbán was using government money to finance CPAC.... So it appears that CPAC was funded by a foreign government that was working closely with Vladimir Putin."

Midweek Update #5; This Is No TACO: This Is Complete US Strategic Failure Trump Agrees To Iran's Victory Conditions

Just sent out this free midweek update. This was no ordinary Trump TACO, this was Trump accepting Iran's victory conditions as the basis of negotiations. It looks likely that Iran will emerge stronger from this war than before; a total US strategic failure. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

It is truly remarkable that after the Vietnam War, after the Afghanistan War, after a catalogue of US military failures in the post 1945 world, people claiming to be serious analysts are saying because the US dropped alot of bombs it won this war.
It did not.

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION
WILL DIE TONIGHT
My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools.
Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's
"keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's
"we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight."
It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before.
"It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time.
A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead.

The case is sumbitted.

The easy prediction here is 7-2, birthright citizenship stands, Trump loses.

But... I don't think we have Kav as much as others. So that could be 6-3.

BUT... my most radical take would be 8-1. With only Alito dissenting. That's... *a possibility*

Pretty regularly FOR YEARS polling shows the only politicians that poll positively are Bernie Sanders and Barack Obama and this is just completely ignored by the discourse.

Trump has smashed up everything in the Middle East - and in the world - and now he’s preparing to run.

He’s a failure and a coward.

Trump went from saying the war with Iran won't end until we have "unconditional surrender" and it could be months to instantly claiming "it's all over" in the last hour before the stock market closed.

That is market manipulation.
