this has been shared and re-shared a lot ever since the Nov 2025 email release, but i will never stop upvoting it. Not until we see some real goddamn arrests for the many, many wealthy elites that are implicated by their association with Epstein.

It’ll never happen, until they make YT premium so prohibitively expensive that a majority of users no longer want to pay. If they’re smart, they’ll keep it at the current price until it starts losing money, because their effective monopoly is YouTube’S most valuable asset. Once they get any kind of decent competition, the whole house of cards tumbles.

And then she declined her staff’s suggestion to cancel the event, turned around, and finished the last 10 minutes of her speech. Absolute badass, I love Ilhan.

yep lol. Either this is a bribe scheme, or Dementia Don forgot his message.

is it really either? I just added Minneapolis so non-local folks would know where the paper is from.

From the article, given the lack of archive link:

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who fatally shot a 37-year-old woman in Minneapolis on Jan. 7 is Jonathan Ross, the same officer who was dragged and injured by a fleeing driver in a separate incident last year, according to a person with knowledge of the case and verified by court documents. Little public information is available about Ross, described only by federal officials as “an experienced” officer. On Wednesday morning, Ross was embedded with a group of federal agents on a targeted crackdown in south Minneapolis when Renee Nicole Good was shot. ICE has not reported the identity of the shooter and did not respond to request for comment for this story. A photo of Ross’ face has since circulated on social media, as online sleuths have attempted to identify him. On June 17, Ross was participating in an arrest of Roberto Carlos Munoz-Guatemala, a Mexican citizen, in Bloomington last year. Munoz-Guatemala had previously been convicted of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct and had been put on a detainer by immigration officials. Munoz-Guatemala ignored the agents’ commands, including to fully roll down his car window, so Ross broke open his rear window and reached inside to unlock the door. Munoz-Guatemala put the vehicle in drive and accelerated onto the curb, the charges said. Ross was dragged alongside the vehicle and twice fired his Taser as Munoz-Guatemala weaved back and forth “in an apparent attempt to shake” him from the car. About 300 feet down the road, Munoz-Guatemala re-entered the street and the force knocked the officer from the car. The agent required 20 stitches for a deep cut in his right arm and another 13 stitches in his left hand, according to court documents. A jury convicted Munoz-Guatemala of assaulting a federal officer in December. Hours after the shooting Wednesday morning, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said the agent involved had “been dragged by a vehicle” in an earlier incident. At the time, she did not provide specific location details. But she described the unnamed officer as “an experienced” agent who’d been in similar situations before and “followed his training.” The Department of Homeland Security confirmed Thursday that the agent who killed Good was the same officer dragged by a suspect in Bloomington last June. Although Ross was not named in the 13-page indictment of the driver, he is identified in several court records filed in the case, including photo exhibits from the hospital. He is also listed by name as a witness. A law enforcement source, who is not authorized to speak publicly, confirmed that Ross is the shooter. Vice President JD Vance took questions at the White House on Thursday afternoon, announcing a new associate attorney general to oversee fraud — with a mission that will begin in Minnesota. He also defended the agent’s actions. “That very ICE officer nearly had his life ended … six months ago,” Vance said, referring to a car-dragging incident with the agent. “You think maybe he’s a little bit sensitive about somebody ramming him?”

Clarification: ICE’s recruitment campaign with Spotify ended. Doesn’t mean they won’t accept a new one if ICE comes knocking again.

Yeah, we’ve known this since yesterday. There were three different angles posted online before Dump decided to post his “Truth” about it.

Damn that’s some next level detective work. Thx for the details

Edit: God it just gets worse and worse. I just peeked at the website for his “EA DC” org and their board of directors literally includes an exec from Anthropic. This guy is literally taking money from the AI industry. This article is a complete joke.

Agreed 100%. I started doubting everything this writer was saying as soon as he started espousing the usefulness of Chatgpt.

I found the arguments about the environment convincing - he really does a great breakdown and comparison of other, individualist carbon emission sources and clearly explains why one person’s heavy Chatgpt usage is nothing compared to, say, using a laptop for an hour. I still hate Chatgpt and the rest for all the OTHER reasons that we all know by now, but on the environmental point, I felt this article was persuasive. Overly long, but persuasive.

Idk, maybe I’m a big idiot, but I have issues with the points made in this article. I will concede the point that individual Chatgpt use is not that big of a deal, environmentally speaking. If I can trust the numbers in this article, then it has successfully convinced me that I dont need to worry about the energy cost or emissions or water use of individual prompts.

The case I take issue with is the author’s point that LLMs are inherently useful. I don’t care if chatgpt is kind of just a better Google. I still hate every other thing about it. Using Chatgpt is clearly developing psychoses in some people, and even for people like this author that can use it responsibly, I think it’s just intellectually lazy. It encourages the user to abandon critical thinking and let the robot do it for you. What’s more, as a search tool, it’s destroying the internet. If no one ever goes to websites to read the info, why would people keep making websites with reliable information? Why should I even read this article? Why don’t I just have chat summarize it for me, and I never give this author any traffic or money? Then of course there is the plagiarism problem…

So idk. Maybe now I’ll stop harping on the environmental point. But I’m still going to avoid LLMs like the plague, because at their core I think they rob us of some of the finer points of a life well-lived. I’d rather spend my time poring through articles to understand the why and how of a question, rather than have a robot just spit the “what” out at me.

Edit: well I shared this elsewhere and someone pointed out that this dude is a self-avowed “Effective Altruist”, which boils down to “he’s a stooge for techbros and he probably takes a paycheck under the table to write these articles”. So…i no longer feel that I can trust the numbers in this article. I’m back to having heavy concerns about the environmental impact of AI.

Happy holidays my Beeple! Y’all made 2025 way more bearable 🎊

I don’t think it’s exactly “rubbing it in.” I think it’s appropriate for NBC to point out this small detail in the headline, as it is a neutral detail which nevertheless colors the incident in a more appropriate light. Just saying “car crash” would lead more people to believe he was t-boned or something (most people only read the headline), when the truth seems to be that he made a very dangerous decision which unfortunately led to his death and the death of his passenger. Hopefully more Ferrari owners get the message, and they remember Vince before they decide to gun it down Angeles Crest Highway.

Based on the rest of the story…it kind of seems like he was driving his Ferrari way too fast.

As anti-AI as I am, this is way less sensational than the headline makes it sound. They’re adding an AI mode that’s basically a built-in extension. Sounds easy to disable. I hate this shit, but you have to grant that Mozilla is a small company fighting for survival. They are probably just doing this to stay relevant (maybe they can get more money from google by being the default AI provider as well), and they may just as quickly drop this when the AI bubble finally pops. I am willing to forgive Mozilla for a little more than I forgive Microsoft, who has no real reason to push this AI hype other than trying to get more rich.

ehhhh get back to me in 14B years, i only believe REAL-WORLD metrics

fuck yeahhhhhh!!! This is huge, id may have relative independence but they exist under the Microsoft regime.

haha i’m in s03 of my first ever watch. this headline felt like the show jumped out into RL

that’s some Avon Barksdale lvl shit
