Full headline, because it wouldn't fit up there: "Justice Department gave Ghislaine Maxwell 'a platform to rewrite history,' family of Epstein abuse victim says"

"The family of Virginia Giuffre said they are 'outraged' by the agency's decision to release transcripts from Maxwell's 'bizarre interview' with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche."

Also, this bit: "Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche last month questioned Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence on sex trafficking charges, for two days as part of a stated effort by the Trump administration to uncover more information about Epstein's crimes."

...

"as part of a stated effort by the Trump administration to uncover more information about Epstein's crimes."

...

"to uncover more information about Epstein's crimes."

...

Yeah, I'm going to call bullshit on that. Their goal here is not to uncover a damn thing. The only goal of the Trump """""administration""""" is to cover up the boss's relationship with Epstein. Obviously.

"On Sunday, Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., criticized Maxwell's statements to Blanche, claiming that she has the motivation to say anything that could potentially get her pardoned.

"'They go and they do this interview without the presence of a prosecutor who actually knows the facts,' Schiff told NBC News' 'Meet the Press,' referring to Blanche.

"'She wants a pardon. She says exactly what her lawyers tell her is going to be necessary to get a pardon. No one should be surprised here,' Schiff added."


This, exactly.

"YouTube made AI enhancements to videos without telling users or asking permission. As AI quietly mediates our world, what happens to our shared connection with real life?"

That "without telling users or asking permission" bit is the real issue in this particular case, all the other potential bullshit associated with AI aside. In any case, it's just yet another reason in a perpetually growing list of reasons why I will never (again) upload anything Youtube.

(The three or four videos I did upload in the distant past have long since been obliterated when I nuked my first Youtube account, several years ago. The bare bones one I have now is one I don't even log into anymore.)

Probably the best part of this video are the faces that Woolie makes while Pat describes this movie to him. I'd never heard of this movie prior to watching the above video. And, now that I've seen the above video, I intend to do my level best to forget that this movie exists, once I hit the "post" button on this.

I was going to say that all I know about Ice Cube is that he's doing CarShield commercials now, but no, that was Ice-T not Ice Cube, as I found out when I went to look them up. So, really, as it turns out, I knew even less about Ice Cube than I did about Ice-T. And after a very brief Google rabbit hole concerning Ice Cube while making this post, I've decided that I neither want nor need to know much else about Ice Cube, because as Woolie himself said: "Fuck Ice Cube."

Also, thanks to skimming the comments under the video, I learned of the existence of a Bull of Heaven "song" that is apparently literally 3.343 quindecillion years long. It was mentioned in the context of this Ice Cube movie due to the nature of the aliens in the movie, as a different potential means of defeating said aliens.

Here is the comment in question, by Youtube user "TruKriegsaffeNo9": "There is an album by Bull of Heaven which is also a zip bomb if you try to look at it with antivirus. It decompresses into a song that lasts longer than the projected lifespan of the universe and has a file size which eclipses the entire sum total of human digital activity to this point by an extremely large margin. The second those xenos tried to sip Bull of Heaven's website, they would die of an informational heart attack. And boom, you get the original book's message: in the end, what stopped the aliens wasn't the impotent martial prowess of mankind, but math nerds making ridiculously long music for the hell of it."
