Al Jazeera Iran correspondent live in Tehran:
"...the doors are neither closed nor open..."
Funny (in a sober context), and pretty much accurate! Certainly tracks with the many Schrödinger's Strait jokes I've seen.
The press is intent on whitewashing Republican agency out of everything.
Democrats should make the confirmation hearing on the nominee to be U.S. Attorney General all about the Epstein files.
If you won’t commit to release the files without redactions and prosecute the Epstein class, then you’re obstructing justice, not enforcing it.

I’m tired of everything being so stupid.
If there were ever something for a hypothetical securities regulator to investigate… $CAR
Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.
"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.
I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).
So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

A step away from asking the Russians to investigate their own influence operations in the US. The guiding principle of Trump policy is that Russian ops are good because they support him personally. The guiding principle of Russian policy is that Trump is good because he wrecks the US & helps Russia.
A few takeaways from Hungary’s deposing of Viktor Orban. Autocracy isn’t inevitable. Fund investigative journalism. Russia isn’t done with its fuckery. And more. open.substack.com/pub/alexzfin...
What makes this attack (these attacks?) interesting is that unlike most of the garbage I've seen over the past two years, these IPs are United States residential customers. Eeek...

At least some of the main points from www.plainsite.org/realitycheck.... Fake accounts are hardly a novel concept, AI or otherwise. Silicon Valley runs on them.

Heh, funny story about justices and books. (I very much like Sotomayor, but...) thehill.com/regulation/c...
The New York Times once again fails to report accurately on fake accounts by several orders of magnitude. And it's not like I haven't told them.
We have an apparent cure for most people with pancreatic cancer—a profoundly swift, deadly cancer—and the position of the U.S. government is that it should be banned. This is real fall-of-empire stuff.
just saw an ad for a CNN show called Kara Swisher Wants To Live Forever and now I want to do the opposite of that
The Mississippi Free Press got inundated with a raft of AI-generated opinion pieces—which we pay writers for—from people who don't exist pretending to be Mississippians.
One of those columns made it to publication before we caught the scam.

Does it? It charges $40 for a PDF. And in Silicon Valley, shareholders means the big guys (VCs).

This would explain Bill Pulte better than his own “memoir” ebook.
Typo above: I should have wrote March *27*, 2026, not March 17. How does this site not yet have an edit button?
That 500K trade at exactly 4:00:00 P.M. Eastern Time yesterday kind of sticks out like a sore thumb. Today's trade happened at 5:16:00 P.M. after hours, for 529,214 shares in one block, according to a user on Twitter. So...good chance those are each 10% of the offering from "time to time."
They have no incentive to tell you that they've done it. They want to issue all 5 million shares at as high a price as possible. That means keeping quiet until they are all issued—authorization is to sell from "time to time" on different days—and then...surprise! www.plainsite.org/markets/avis...
If I had to guess, I would say that $CAR has now issued 1 million shares of the 5 million the Board of Directors authorized on March 17, 2026, and the market hasn't figured that out yet.
Senator Wyden can’t say it plainly without losing his security clearance, but this raises the alarm that Kash & crew have decided they can illegally surveil Americans without a warrant.
On the one hand, kudos to Bloomberg for its scoop on SpaceX buying 18% of Cybertrucks.
On the other hand—no kidding. I pointed out Elon's self-dealing in the context of "deliveries" six years ago. www.plainsite.org/realitycheck...
