TO BE FAIR PEOPLE WHO DON’T SPOT THE FAWNING AND THE FAKERY  ARE AT RISK FOR SO MANY OTHER PSYCHOSIS:  Chatbot-Linked Psychosis and Delusional Spiraling.

APRIL FOOLS? TELL ME IT’S APRIL FOOLS!  Rep. Tim Burchett chose NOT to refute Matt Gaetz’s comment about a military alien-human breeding program, then said “the people that know are dying”.

WHAT HE SAID:  If you are a non-elected member of the US federal government (i.e., civilian GS employee, career SES, contractor, military) and you are “resisting” or “slow-rolling” lawful initiatives of the Trump Administration, let me tell you what you are actually doing.

X-Cancel.

THE TURTLE MOVES!  US ICE detains Islamic Society of Milwaukee President Salah Sarsour.

ME NEITHER:  I Did Not Have ‘Everest Guides Poisoning Climbers’ on My Bingo Card.

YEP:  They should be terrified, they’ve given people damn good reason to drop a dime on them.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF:  Bleeding Heart.

OPEN THREAD: Ring in the weekend.

THIS IS MORE LIKE THE 21ST CENTURY I WAS PROMISED: Elon Musk’s SpaceX set to be worth $1 trillion with planned public listing.

Wait. Wait. Wait.

I thought everyone knew about the chaplain corps move. Based on my DMs, maybe not.

Navy Chaplains assigned to the Marine Corps were resistant to the cultural revolution happening across the force.

HISTORY LESSON:

Islam did not exist during the time of Cyrus the Great.

The Islamic Republic are followers of Muhammad, not Cyrus.

The Cyrus Cylinder preaches ancient Persian and Zoroastrian values like religious tolerance and human rights, not Islamist ideology.

HMM: NTSB Takes Aim at Level 2 Semi-Autonomous Driving Systems After Fatal Crashes Involving Ford BlueCruise. An over-reliance on semi-autonomous software is making drivers complacent, NTSB chairwoman Jennifer Homendy said.

My last car had semi-autonomous mode and the only time I had a problem was on the Interstate in Chattanooga when I came over a hill and there was dead-stopped traffic in both lanes ahead of me. The system couldn’t see cars that weren’t moving against the background, so it didn’t stop. I waited a second to see if it would and then had to brake pretty hard. If I hadn’t been paying attention, I would have rear-ended someone. I assume the separate electronic-crumple-zone braking would have kicked in before a collision but didn’t give it a chance.

My new car doesn’t have as many bells and whistles, and I don’t really miss them. But long drives were less tiring with the semi-autonomy.

NEWS YOU CAN USE: The Must-See New Cars and Concepts of the 2026 New York Auto Show!

HEY, BIG SPENDER: Tech Media Propaganda Operation Makes It Official, Goes In-House At OpenAI. “On Thursday, OpenAI announced that it had acquired the Technology Business Programming Network (TBPN) show. The Financial Times reports that the recently de-Sorafied AI giant paid somewhere in the “low hundreds of millions of dollars” for the purchase. The deal immediately prompted a great deal of online handwringing about a nominal media operation selling out to one of the biggest companies in Silicon Valley, which is understandable but unwarranted. Nothing will have to change, as even the independent version of TBPN was already so dedicated to cheerleading for the rich and powerful people in tech as to have been indistinguishable from marketing.”

Maybe not all the interesting in itself, but OpenAI is expected to lose between $111 billion and $143 billion between 2024 and 2029 (OpenAI claims the lower figure, Deutsche Bank the higher one), and TBPN is believed to break even at the very best.

But what’s a few more hundred million between friends?

THIS LOOKS LIKE A JOB FOR AN A-10:

They picked the convenience of criminals over the safety of citizens.

They would rather bury the truth than own up to reality.
