The LLMs hoovered up everything in the copyrighted world, including all my own books and articles etc and those of every other author, and the excuse from on high was some all-out emergency must-win AI arms race with China.
Now they're "pacing themselves."
I'm beyond furious.

This is why people got on ships for America when there was no guarantee they would reach it alive.

As early as November 2020, FDA knew from rat studies that the lipid nanoparticles from Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine were spreading into the ovaries.*
As early as December 2020, FDA knew that a rat fertility study report on Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine showed that the number of fertilized eggs that fail to successfully attach to the uterine wall was 9.77% in the vaccine group and 4.09% in the control group.** The vaccinated group also had a higher rate of fetal malformations, anomalies, and variations.***
Yet, in January 2021, Fauci writes the Surgeon General and CDC Director that “Animal tox studies did not raise any red flags.”****

The way it works as this goes along is that certain skeptical, independent voices arise to object to some new phase in the control push. They win loyalty and something of an audience and then on the next turn they kind of promote the new thing that you would have thought they'd be dead against and soften their audience towards it. Covid skeptic becomes "Flock cameras do have some value" person.And indeed with Flock it's happening all over now. And boy is it obvious. Former free speecher becomes tentative Flocker etc. Just observe. Quite a game, quite a technique.

EXCLUSIVE: The federal government paid hundreds of social-media influencers to convince their followers to take COVID vaccines.
They even targeted children, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers.
While the project’s didn’t reveal the names of paid participants, I just unmasked dozens. 🧵

Dolly Parton's husband, Carl Dean, died in March 2025. They were married for 60 years. It's not unusual that when one half a longtime partnership dies, the other, heartbroken, soon follows. I hope they're reunited in heaven, because if anyone is going there, Dolly is.

Imagine if the FLOCK cameras had been widely deployed during the lockdowns? The info they gather goes way beyond make, model and plates. The camera systems also collect cell phone and blue tooth data so they would know who was following orders and who wasn’t. These cameras operate in a mesh network where info could be used as part of a CCP like social scoring system or worse relayed to employers or insurers. It’s clearly a violation of our 4th amendment rights and the 1974 privacy act. I can’t wait for the movie. 🎬

The Justice Department sure seems busy!
A British zoologist involved in risky bat coronavirus experiments in Wuhan is accused of plotting with a senior US health official to shut down the theory that Covid-19 leaked from a lab.
Dr Peter Daszak, the former president of EcoHealth Alliance, sent bottles of wine to David Morens, thanking him for his “behind the scenes shenanigans” and promising further gifts, such as dinners at Michelin-starred restaurants, US court documents state ⤵️

This is my first time to see this video, which is obviously not spontaneous but rather a fake and a set up. They happened to have cameras there as the first announcement of good trials results came in and then they performed celebration...oh and there happened to be a bottle of champagne. This is so obviously theater. The 95% figure was a given, like the results of a card trick. Disgusting.

🚨 JUST IN: Paramount is reportedly in advanced discussions to establish a new headquarters and major studio operation in Austin, Texas, as David Ellison weighs pulling the company out of California.
The company is zeroing in on Austin’s Bluebonnet Business Center, including a 415,000-square-foot facility that could be converted for offices and soundstages. No final commitment has been made.
The move comes as Paramount battles California AG Rob Bonta over its proposed Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition. Ellison has reportedly threatened to begin moving operations out of California if the dispute is not on a path toward settlement by October 1.
A Hollywood institution potentially shifting its headquarters and production infrastructure from California to Texas would be one of the most consequential corporate migrations yet.

It was me. I was on Twitter in 2022 calling Biden's disinformation governance board a 'ministry of truth'. And I would have called it that even if a man (and not Jankowicz) had been in charge of it, because that is what it was.

It's just writing. It's hardly foundational to academic life.
This is like a crude ship l
announcing it will no longer maintain its hull.
Harvard announced that it is closing its writing center and laying off the center’s longtime director—a decision that could have repercussions far beyond Cambridge, Tyler Austin Harper argues.

Putting spy gear between people and the sky is really closing the lid on the box.
NEWS: Flock’s fastest-growing business is 60 mph police drones that can read license plates from the sky
I call for Flock Safety executives to wear day-glo green shirts with giant robot eyes on them whenever they go out in public.
And to keep them on in private. In bed.
I mean, if they've done nothing wrong they should have nothing to hide.
Not kidding at all.
Lead by example!

Me to my boomer parents in 2020:
“All these stimulus checks are going to cause massive inflation.”
My boomer parents:
“Oh son, you don’t understand monetary policy nor the need for everyone to stay at home to stop the virus”
Me:
“They are literally printing money, do you understand how having more of something makes each of that same thing less valuable”
