    Yes, really.”

  3. "Sen. Bill Cassidy, the Republican chair of the Senate health committee, slammed the executive order in a social media post, saying vaccines are safe and do not cause autism.”

    Vaccines are safe, effective, and do not cause autism. Neither Trump nor parents know better.

    Vaccinate your children according to the AAP schedule. If you don't, at least have your children's' funeral plans ready. You'll need them.

  4. The presidential led enshitification of US health continues apace.

    ‘There have been multiple measles outbreaks in the United States this year driven by parental refusal, including hotspots such as South Carolina and Utah. Ninety-three per cent of those who contracted measles were unvaccinated or had unknown vaccination status. It has been the worst year for measles in the US since 1991.’

    Philosopher Jonny Thomson walks through Dietrich Bonhoeffer's 3 conditions for the kind of stupidity that destroys societies: Outsourcing your thinking to an authority, willful ignorance, and conformity.

    Thomson shows how each one appears today, from AI answering our moral questions to political parties enforcing loyalty over conviction.

  11. 💙 💝 THIS is the kind of honorable president the great American people (except for the #MAGA nutcases) deserve! It’s a shame that lately #stupidity
    and #corruption have been running the show in the #USA!

    Just like here—same drama, different actors.

  16. ADDED ON EDIT: Technically, some of the links DO work. But we have multiple email addresses authorized to use the same AdSense account. You can't just log in with address Alpha to look at an issue reported to address Beta even though you're looking at the same account. That would simply be user-friendly and convenient.

    I cannot help but wonder how the people at Google decide to create a template for AdSense notifications. Every link is completely useless. You click on them and you land on the home page of your account.

    Site approved? See the home page. If you're lucky, the site is actually named in the email. If not, well, scroll through the list of sites and figure out what changed.

    Got a violation notification? Don't worry. We won't tell you which site, which page, or what the specific violation was. But we'll redirect you to a meaningless list of potential policy guidelines without any helpful context.

    The only Google service more braindead than the AdSense notifications in my experience is the user verification process, which repeatedly fails you regardless of how many emails you receive or how often you put in the only phone number ever associated with the account.

    I only deal with these moronic services because years ago we naively believed that Google actually knew what it was doing, and now our portfolio is stuck in the system.

    Happily, we gave up on Google Analytics years ago and now can delete all the oblivious emails they keep sending us even though we're not tracking any sites.

  18. I was reassured to wake this morning to discover that Elon Musk has realised that Nolan’s Odyssey is not only woke but it historically inaccurate. So he is going to correct the ‘historical truth’ lest we be misled.🙄

    The joke is on him, but I suspect he doen't realise it.

    Apologies for the AI slop - I would not normally post any, but it was one of the illustrations in the newspaper report.

  20. A quotation from The Bible

    Talk not much with a fool, and go not to him that hath no understanding: beware of him, lest thou have trouble, and thou shalt never be defiled with his fooleries: depart from him, and thou shalt find rest, and never be disquieted with madness.
     
    [μετὰ ἄφρονος μὴ πληθύνῃς λόγον
    καὶ πρὸς ἀσύνετον μὴ πορεύου·
    φύλαξαι ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ, ἵνα μὴ κόπον ἔχῃς
    καὶ οὐ μὴ μολυνθῇς ἐν τῷ ἐντιναγμῷ αὐτοῦ·
    ἔκκλινον ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ εὑρήσεις ἀνάπαυσιν
    καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀκηδιάσῃς ἐν τῇ ἀπονοίᾳ αὐτοῦ.]

    The Bible (The Old Testament) (14th - 2nd C BC) Judeo-Christian sacred scripture [Tanakh, Hebrew Bible], incl. the Apocrypha (Deuterocanonicals)
    Book 22b. Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 22:13 (Sir 22:13) [tr. KJV (1611)]

  21. No, AI is not conscious. Stop being stupid. Next thing you know people will start thinking Roombas are conscious, too.

    TBF I don’t think we have a good definition of “consciousness” or “sentience” so maybe we could just start declaring all manner of things as conscious to boost shareholder value.

  23. "Acting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte got POTUS all spun up and then was incredibly scared when he realized people could die with his reckless behavior”:
    politico.com/news/2026/07/18/p
    Reckless extremist Bill Pulte should never have been entrusted with the job of Acting Director of National Intelligence due to his lack of experience in this field and because a reckless extremist should never have that powerful job.

  27. Ed Zitron's at it (being spot-on dead right) again.

    "The AI bubble isn’t a result of any actual return on investment ... . Rather, it’s an episode of cult-like psychosis that infected the brains of some of the most powerful and wealthy individuals and institutions, where the powerful mythology of a company inspired — and been used to inspire — the greatest capital misallocation in history."

  29. Netanyahu, Putin and Trump believe they they can divide up the Earth. At least before they and their tech lords turn on each other, or it into toxic wastelands, but to the victor goes the spoils. Perhaps the most stupid idea conjured up by the history of such wizards, as they are flesh and bones?

    Brainwashing and grifting is their trick; to buy the people with their spoils!

  30. The big trouble with dumb bastards is that they are too dumb to believe there is such a thing as being smart.
