Honestly don't even worry about it, instead go back and play the 2016 Doom, it's the best of the reboot series. Ton of fun and the soundtrack is killer.

This article is textbook misinformation.

Read the title and the only quote referenced from the declassified document is: “These officials highlighted that, prior to the visit (from Joe Biden), the Poroshenko administration and other Ukrainian officials expected the U.S. Vice President to discuss personal matters with Poroshenko during the visit, and had assumed that the U.S. Vice President would advocate in support or against specific officials within the Ukrainian government”.

Then they quote some op-ed's and some private intelligence analysts but it's all just words from people, unsubstantiated. Then they get the conclusion of the headline with just that and of course, of course it's the Nuland thing. It always is because that's all there is and it's nothing. That's it. Nothing declassified supports the conclusion but they make it anyway. Zero journalism done, there's a reason this is only on substack and X.

"Well your Honor, we've got lot's of hearsay and conjecture, those are kinds of evidence.".

So two of them snuck in by getting nominated? The other two were already around. What about Hegseth and Gabbard? They're not neocons too right?

What's the even the angle here?

Trump wants the war.
Trump is easily manipulated into the war.
Trump doesn't want the war but is a shit judge of character and/or is unable to stand up for himself.

Name names, who sneaked in and how did they do it?

Sure, she's not giving warning she's making a threat. It should be a empty one but look at the current administration she's shilling for.

How many free Flock cameras can we install to entice you?

Her time in the Senate felt more like a stunt to push her own brand and future prospects than any impetus towards public service. I'm not even speaking to the merits of the project, maybe the developers could return and make a better pitch to the town but putting her as the face I bet for at least a few people was instantly suspicious.

Curious though why her answer to the question of what's in it for the town is not quoted in the article, really keen to hear what her pitch to the mayor was (I assume it was tons of money and skirting around their concerns)

We are already seeing the signs of post-Trump MAGA civil war starting to creep up. Trump turning against MTG is kicking up a bit of a storm, they can all tell the old man has a foot out the door.

You've got the Bannon wing versus the Technocratic Vance wing along with the Groypers on the rise and the MTG conspiratorial post-Q MAGA crowd along with the old school Heritage/Federalist and a few others.

These conservative groups have a lot of conflicting beliefs, what has held them together is a unified support of Trump, without him those old disagreements are bubbling up again. The thing about Trump that screws them is Trump himself does not give a shit about the party or any of these groups, he has no succession plan and is not an actual party leader. He could give two shits what happens after he's gone, not his problem, just say nice things at his funeral.

They just released Doom: The Dark Ages this year.

50-90% estate tax plus alternative minimum tax of 40% for all income over say $100 million

If she was born lower or middle class she's still be going to Stanford and still able to sell this genius idea because America is absolutely a meritocracy and we don't believe in dynasties. Right?

This is a chat bot that answers questions about books.
Turning it off is merely not using it.

A better example of what you're complaining about is Google's AI shitpost at the top of every query.
This isn't it.

Frankly, this kind of thing is going to have huge adoption. It's precisely the kind of shit that people are using AI for right now.

You're going to have to decide if AI has agency, or is just a tool used by a person. You can't have it both ways.

It's that little dark urge that exists in most humans- the need to win by any means necessary- even if it means corrupting something.

Your initial claim was "And overall if a goodly chunk of your college students are engaged in programs that are seemingly focused on deconstructing society at it's most fundamental levels, how are you going to compete with automatons?"

I never claimed STEM was the majority but I also had a supposition that social sciences sure as well aren't either. so while we may have both been talking out our butts I wasn't using my ass-extracted point as a launching board to gripe about culture war nonsense.

But hey, good luck maintaining a technocratic liberal democratic society without any of the "emotional DEI deconstructionists"

I've got family in Arkansas. They love Jews as long as they show proper deference to the Christian interpretation of Jewish texts.
