FORMER PRESIDENT DUNNING-KRUGERS GOES WHERE WISE MEN FEAR TO TREAD:  Obama Really Went There at the Dem Rally in Michigan, Huh?

FOR THE PEOPLE:  This delights me so very much. People using AI to take back control of devices that they bought, but were covertly designed to spy on them and harvest their data. I’m usually reluctant to brandish my fame, but I’m gonna do it for this worthy cause. OG hacker says you’re doing good! This kind of liberation is what it’s all about.

I’M SORRY, WHAT? THEY WANT THE MUMMY’S CONSENT? THE REAL HORROR IS THE LEFTIST MIND:  This Halloween’s Mummy Problem: Museums Frightened by Their Own Exhibits.

Before you laugh too hard at Europe, remember our leftists are exactly the same.

GOOD. CHILDREN ARE NOT THINGS:  Judge denies bail reduction for Chinese couple accused of abusing their 21 children. According to a recent lawsuit, 66-year-old Guojun Xuan had “an obsession with impregnating women and amassing an extraordinary number of children.”

THEY WON’T COST DEMOCRATS THE ELECTION. BE REAL. OBAMA AND BIDEN BOTH GOT MASSIVE FOREIGN DONATIONS:  An Abdul El-Sayed Operative Was Caught on Camera Saying Three Words That May Cost Democrats the Election.

No? Then why did they disable the verification on their websites. Pfui.

AGAIN, CHILDREN, IQ IS NOT THE SAME AS HUMAN WORTH:  QotD: Was Hitler stupid?

Or even really a measure of stupidity. You can have nose-bleed IQ and be a dumbass whose ideas would objectively destroy everything.

AND THIS IS WHY ALL OVER THE WORLD PEOPLE HAVE HAD ENOUGH:  Vileness Over The Bath London Road Lidl. Assailed by fuckwits we are.

TURNS OUT THE WATERMELONS AREN’T ANY BETTER AT ECONOMICS THAN WHEN THEY WERE (OPENLY) RED:  The classic communist mistake: measuring quantity instead of value.

WELL THEN, THEY’D BETTER WORK TO DENY HER THE CHANCE: CIA Spook Slotkin Doubles Down On Threat To Destroy Young Conservative Staffers.

OPEN THREAD: Make it special.

LAUNCHER SHORTAGE: Space Force scrambles as Musk’s SpaceX retires its major rocket. “The Space Force has set up a two-lane system for buying its launches, one for less demanding efforts and another for more challenging missions. The hope was that new competitors, such as Rocket Lab, Stoke Space and Relativity, would have an easier time winning contracts for the lower-risk missions. But SpaceX has dominated both lanes with its Falcon rocket, and other providers have been slow to scale up. The Space Force hopes to use two large rockets from SpaceX competitors to ferry key military satellites into orbit: United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan and Blue Origin’s New Glenn. But the Vulcan rocket has struggled to launch consistently and was grounded earlier this year after problems with its solid rocket boosters. Space Force officials have been frustrated by ULA’s delays and have moved missions slated for a Vulcan to a SpaceX Falcon.”

A $25 BILLION VERDICT AGAINST META, AND FREE SPEECH SHOULD BE WORRIED. New Mexico’s supposedly privacy-focused case effectively lets jurors police Facebook’s decisions about “hate speech” and “misinformation,” raising the troubling question of how much control government should have over online expression.
