I've continued to be curious about what drives the inclusion of unusual sources in generated summaries. This search triggered a mostly good explanation then punctuated with a video from CatholicVote. How did that get there? Turns out they're a top spender and ran a huge paid disinformation campaign.

"[For Luxon] To come to Christchurch and tell his audience that hatred has “absolutely no place in New Zealand” the day after the city was host to a public talk on “Race Marxism” and the LGBT+ community experienced another attack, actually borders on offensive. www.feijoadispatch.nz/p/christchur...

UPDATE: Lawyer for govt, Drew Ensign, cited 'grave national security issue' in declining to discuss current state of the deportations in a public hearing, so judge took it private. But looks like one El Salvador-bound flight took off during a break in the hearing www.flightaware.com/live/flight/...

One bit of political 'optics' the media have never cared about is how kind the media are to the second best funded political party in New Zealand no matter how low their poll numbers were or how unpopular/harmful their policies are or how many crimes they commit. Not a good look. =/

BREAKING: Trump illegally invokes the Alien Enemies Act to detain and deport Venezuelan immigrants “deemed” to be members of a criminal gang, claiming extreme powers to do so without due process. Courts should reject this abusive invocation of a law intended for wartime.

The Alien Enemies Act proclamation is out. Obviously this is an illegal invocation of a wartime authority for peacetime immigration enforcement. Many thoughts to come, but the first is that they messed up the drafting for what they're trying to accomplish. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I really need for people to see that the whole cycle of the last few years-- the dangers of the left hysterically exaggerated ("cancel culture") in order to give cover to, sand the rough edges off, distract attention from, the advance of fascism --is a template, a script that's been run repeatedly.

Unless you have no way of avoiding travel into the United States, you should not be traveling into the United States right now. I can't offer much concrete support, but if you can't avoid travel to GDC and you're anxious about it, feel free to DM me to rant, vent, rage, or chat.

I’m struck by how close we’re getting to finally curing some of the world’s worst diseases—sickle cell, Alzheimers, pancreatic cancer, etc.—at the same time that the world’s worst people are destroying medical research and care around the world.
