AI Jesus has logged on.
AI is coming for us all.Writers, doctors and artists – among many others – all stand to have their livelihoods decimated by artificial intelligence.

And the next potential victim? The Son of God.
Peter’s Chapel in Lucerne, Switzerland, recently unveiled “Deus in machina,” an “experimental art installation” that features an AI version of Jesus in the confessional booth, according to its website.

Dearest AI Jesus,
I’ve had impure thoughts and crocodile tears. Please show me the way (and don’t use Google Fuckin maps!)
And please keep our confessions in the cloud where Jesus does is thinking. Oooops I forgot to read the privacy statement and TOS.
Now all your hacked confessions will get sold for .02

Carl Sagan,  The Demon-Haunted World
“l have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the  manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome powers are in the hands of a very few; and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness.

BITCOIN

@Dennis_Porter_
It’s nearly 100% guaranteed that I pass ‘Strategic Bitcoin Reserve’ legislation into law before the incoming Trump administration.
Likely in multiple states.
Possibly in multiple countries.

(The USA has about 8100 tons of gold in our reserves. Refund SS with BTC)

@Dennis_Porter_
If I ran for President my Bitcoin platform would be:
1. 2.5 Million BTC Strategic Reserve
2. Zero cap gains
3. Ban on CBDCs
4. End SAB121
5. Free Ross
6. End Chockpoint 2.0
7. Enshrine self-custody into law
8. Refund social security with BTC
9. Defend the right to mine

@FossGregfoss
-> All tradfi is pissed at Saylor for creating the btc “flywheel”.
But it is actually insurance company reserve requirement regulations which create the need for #btc proxy “bonds”.
Just wait until 25% of all new issuance converts is for bitcoin treasury.
We are gonna need a bigger flywheel…
#math

Saylor can then truly become a BTC bank or banking when other need BTC to structure a financial deal. Not a bank for retail (maybe), but a bank for institutions, sovereigns, and the big boys, to back and support deals involving BTC.

Newmarket Capital CEO’s in an interview, they gave a building owner a 10 years mortgage to retire old debt, renovate the building and with some of the proceeds buy bitcoin (seems it is part of the agreement), minimum btc holding period 4 years in case early repayment.

@stackhodler
There’s a wave of capital coming into Bitcoin this cycle that’s unlike anything we’ve seen in the past.
This isn’t your retail spot bull run of 2017.
Or even your degen cracked-out SBF throuple bull run of ’21.
This is an entirely new beast.
Saylor is channeling corporate bond market funds into Bitcoin.
Bitcoin-enhanced mortgages and other lending products are just starting to channel pension money into Bitcoin.
Corporations are buying Bitcoin with profits.
Market makers are buying to hedge call options in size.
Nation States are quietly racing to out-stack each other.
Rely on existing price models at your own peril.
This is the time to think from first principles.
What does it mean to have a finite asset at a moment when everyone realizes they need some at the same time?

Institutional adoption has taken Bitcoin “right in the first class cabin with stocks and bonds.” Previously, “[analysts and investors] didn’t have to make up their minds. The Bitcoin ETFs totally changed that.”

BEST PEOPLE 2.0:

Breaking science down like a boss!
RFK Jr & crew need a reality check from actual experts. Medical truth matters more than celebrity conspiracy theories. Keep dropping that knowledge. They seem to think they know better than scientists and experts whose living depends on getting things right on this and other things. That’s why, always trust an expert over a politician celebrity grifter.

Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski just made a bold move, declaring she won’t support any of President Trump’s nominees unless they undergo full FBI vetting. This marks a significant development and could have major implications for the administration’s agenda.

So after distancing himself from Project 2025 and denying he ever had anything to do with Project 2025 despite his past senior staffers writing Project 2025, Donald Trump now nominated the head of Project 2025 to run the super powerful Office of Management and Budget? Got it.

HIV is the virus that causes AIDS.
It doesn’t matter what RFK Jr, Joe Rogan, Bret Weinstein), Pete Hegseth, Woody Harrelson, Bill Maher, and others say. Their arrogance doesn’t make their claims true. People who claim things like “HIV doesn’t cause AIDS” have a fundamental lack of understanding of how scientific knowledge accrues and often are prone to medical conspiracism. Read more

Kremlin’s 2045 Plan to Divide Ukraine and Reshape Global Power Revealed
The Russian Ministry of Defense has prepared a forecast of the global military-political situation up to 2045, which includes plans for an end to Ukraine as an independent state, according to Kyiv Post’s intelligence sources. Moscow reportedly intends to convey this plan to the new US administration through foreign governments and representatives.

Linda McMahon, Trump’s Education pick, was sued for allegedly enabling
sexual abuse of children

4 WaPo journalists–@AmyEGardner, @AshleyRParker, @PerryStein, and Josh Dawsey–repeated Trump’s bullshit claims that his federal prosecutions were political five times without correcting it. Couldn’t be bothered to act like journalists here.

Final data shows that Donald Trump had the smallest victory margin of a winning President since 1984. Spread this everywhere to destroy the myth that Trump had a true mandate.

Not sure the best choice for Defense Secretary of the United States,… is a rapist with a Nazi chest tattoo.

Sam Harris, Elon Musk’s former friend, said he is “snorting ketamine and tweeting at all hours of the day and night,” and that his behavior is “palpably, visibly deranged.”
Nailed it.

Holy fuck. Seb Gorka is his pick to be senior director for counterterrorism.
Seb fucking Gorka, who was denied security clearance in the last Trump administration… Seb fucking Gorka who has ties to a Nazi-allied organization in Hungary…
The. Director. Of. Counterterrorism.

Trump is expected to offer Kelly Loeffler the job as the Secretary of Agriculture, I’m told. She’s expected at Mar-a-Lago Club this afternoon. This lady & her husband were at the center of insider trading allegation during early Covid? She dumped millions in stock in companies to be affected by Covid after a classified briefing on the virus before a pandemic was declared.

Whistleblowers can’t question Ken Paxton under oath, Texas Supreme Court rules The ruling voids a lower-court order requiring Paxton and three other officials to be deposed.

Gaetz the fuck out of here, Matt
and say hello to Pam Bondi, Donny’s longtime corruption-buddy
we’re barely two weeks into this chaotic waking nightmare, and Donny Convict’s confederacy is already down one sewer clown.
yesterday morning, CNN phoned up Florida sex-pest Rapey McForehead, and they were all ‘hey buddy, you’ll never guess what — we found out about some additional witnesses who testified to the House Ethics Committee that they saw you having sex with yet another teenage girl, and we’re about to report this. do you have any comment, bro?’
you betcha Botox Matt had a comment: ‘fuck me, I’m fucking fucked.’

No one shielded Jeffrey Epstein more than Pam Bondi.
Bondi is why Jeffrey Epstein was never prosecuted and all the files about he and ‘pedo bro’ Trump were sealed. Of course Trump is going to reward her with the AG position. Bondi is as corrupt as they come — which works out perfectly for a lifelong criminal like the loathsome piece of shit.

@TristanSnell
The REAL story on Pam Bondi, Trump University, and Trump’s $25,000 payment to Bondi:
1/ In August 2013, I was at the NY AG, and Bondi was Florida AG.
On August 24, 2013, I filed the NY AG’s prosecution of Trump University and Donald Trump, for $42 million in fraud.

Pam Bondi refused to return their dog to a family of Katrina victims after she “adopted” their dog. She fought them in court for 16 months before she gave the dog back. Disqualifying. Character counts.

Trump’s vengeful man-baby approach to power. Trumpism is about the mass expression of anger. It is about revenge. What happens when you elect a criminal president with immunity. He will act with impunity and we shake our heads. Thanks Garland!

Trump plans to fire the entire team that worked with special counsel Jack Smith to pursue the two federal prosecutions against Trump — including career attorneys typically protected from political retribution, according to two individuals close to Trump’s transition. The price of doing what’s right in a democracy shouldn’t be fear of retribution, but here we are. Trump’s plan undermines the independence of career prosecutors, turning justice into a political weapon—a dangerous precedent for accountability and the rule of law. Nobody should be surprised that Donald Trump’s first order of business will be getting even. Revenge is the fuel that drives him. It’s what brings him joy. Check out this interview from 1992. The man has not changed in more than 30 years. And this is only the beginning.
Why didn’t Biden do the same by firing Hunter Biden’s case investigators?

Donald Trump hasn’t been sworn into office yet, but his ally Elon Musk is already getting started working for a government agency that hasn’t yet been created. The “Department of Government Efficiency” co-director is tweeting out the names and personal details of federal employees, leading to some of his more than 205 million followers to “launch blistering critiques of ordinary” workers.

Russian asset Tulsi Gabbard was placed on government watch list for overseas travel and foreign connections

Although President Biden could order an FBI background check of Tulsi Gabbard, she doesn’t need one. She already has an extensive file detailing her history of worrying relationships overseas.
President Biden can—and should—order the release of that file to the Senate. Will he?

@GlobeOpinion
In the past decade, veterinary prices have increased more than 60 percent, writes @marcela_elisa. At the same time, large corporations and private equity companies like Mars Inc. have taken over hundreds of vet clinics all over the country.
Here is the article beyond the paywall.
Small farming communities like mine suffer the most, can’t even find a traveling vet anymore. The problem started with making it nearly impossible to get into veterinary college, I knew 4.0 college grads turned down. Acceptance rates are considerably under medical schools even.

Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
And less competition means higher prices for you.

This is what happens when there is little to no anti-monopoly regulation or enforcement. This has happened before and it took organized people to defeat and give America a “new deal”.
