Poll: 40% of young American women want to leave the U.S. permanently - https://boingboing.net/2025/11/14/poll-40-of-young-american-women-want-to-leave-the-u-s-permanently.html I find that hard to believe; surely it's far more than that... #trump

Hi, Mastodon friends,

I've been busy. I decided to turn that long blog post into a free book.

Once I started working with it, I saw a million ways to improve it and make it more readable, so I think it's better.

I had it professionally proofread, copyedited, and fact checked. Any errors are mine because I had to transfer all the marks to the Indesign document.

Anyone wanna advance peek?

I don't know how to put a PDF here, so it's on the blog page:

‘Demonic’ #WindInTheWillows jumper #banned from #WestminsterAbbey | #London | The Guardian

Security guards who are ignorant of the origin of a picture think it’s supposedly #demonic. And even if it were, how would that hurt someone? It’s not even a provocative or threatening message.

#Chinese #Hackers Used Anthropic's #AI To Automate #Cyberattacks

China's state-sponsored hackers used AI technology from #Anthropic to automate break-ins of major corporations and foreign governments during a September hacking campaign, the company said Thursday. From a report: The effort focused on dozens of targets and involved a level of automation that Anthropic's #cybersecurity investigators had not previously seen

JD Vance knows that undocumented people aren't buying up all the housing inventory, just like he knows that Haitians aren't eating dogs. He doesn't say these things because he believes them. He says these things to speak to his base.

Some of y'all are trying to engage with his point earnestly.

A 92.5% threshold for flagging means that a little less often than 1 time in 10, the system will wrongly flag a person as suspicious, and it will be up to a staff member to validate.

Please place your bets on the likelihood of someone who probably has a lot of other things to do and isn't paid enough making a correct call.

I know this is going to be highly unpopular with a lot of people on here, but it's nonetheless an issue that any serious leftism (and leftist) needs to seriously grapple with.

Sure, I believe Trump could have a guy killed. Look what's happening to innocent people in boats. But do I think Trump could kill a guy with his bare hands? No. I don't think he could successfully deflate and fold an air mattress.

“The world is now anticipated to heat up by 2.6C above preindustrial times by the end of the century – the same temperature rise forecast last year.
…
‘That all means the end of agriculture in the UK and across Europe, drought and monsoon failure in Asia and Africa, lethal heat and humidity’”

This piece by ProPublica, about the consistent deceit emanating from the Murdoch family's primary U.S. media outlet, is chapter and verse why that propaganda outlet should ALWAYS be referred to as Fox "News" --
