As a follow-up...

I got the interview 2:15 late, but at least that happened.

and the five separate notices I've received from city of chicago are all for the same ticket, from November, that I've paid at least twice before.

so now I get to block another day off school to deal with *that*

Iran is 'confident' it could counter a U.S. ground invasion, foreign minister says Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi spoke from Tehran in an exclusive interview with "NBC Nightly News" anchor Tom Llamas.

Department of Justice | Homepage | United States Department of Justice Official website of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). DOJ’s mission is to enforce the law and defend the interests of the United States according to the law; to ensure public safety against threat...

literally in the first paragraph of the linked doc...

"__ clarified that when she previously said TRUMP struck
her after she bit him on the penis, she provided further details that he, 'pulled (her] hair and punched (her] on the side of (her] head.'"

on a justice.gov hosted doc. can't be unseen

would love to understand how the President thinks, even falsely and out loud, that he is totally exonerated from all this.

i really don't think Hegseth realized the diplomatic consequences of that strike

Rahm Emanuel is Chicago's John Fetterman. Prove me wrong.

OR RATHER IT *WAS*

who knows what happens now. the entire agency within the USDoD was eliminated sometime in the last 6-8 months.

basically there are US DOD instructions now that are completely moot. wonder when that'll get cleaned up...

I mean, it was a BAA. the opportunity was visible to all. I have no idea how transparent internally the process was when the agency was run even in leadership levels by contractors, except for where the contracts get made. that's actual military.

thank you. and I feel that. but when I need to stop that journey even for a day now to come back into a system that shames me for shit that wasn't and isn't and shouldn't be mine, was *never* what I was about in tech and is now clearly why I was never promoted up... it just fucking *sucks* ya know?

I mean, tbf... I had about $2.4M from DoD coming to the split house I paid the mortgage on and even I was on Dunn & Bradstreet, was in the system, even moved my website to a host that complied with USDoD IT requirements.

Was a pain, but worth it to qualify for a contract larger than $600K

it's so ridiculous and this is the future for everyone. just not evenly distributed.

and in 38 years of driving, never had tickets, but with constant video surveillance that is legit impossible to contest successfully... anytime the city wants cash, there are tickets from three months ago suddenly I get.

so fucking lame

Like cyberpunk Seinfeld.

I'm back to living with my folks, who get the USPS emails. They informed me I'm getting a bunch of traffic tickets coming. Chicago has cameras but slow processing. So everyone *knows* I've had violations before I do.

I get asked about what I did before I know.

targeted attacks based on outdated information?

buddy, that's when I walk away from relationships.

Like... you don't even know me enough to attack me correctly, or care enough that you're even correct in your assessment of me before you attack. That means you just wanna throw hands.

1000% concur. Which is why it is actually important to this story that Anthropic said "we don't approve of this" and even after Trump announcing that no one can use Anthropic's AI models... they literally did exactly that.

Sidenote: this happens as we consider "consciousness" amid the Epstein saga

My guess... he exclusively shops Calvin Klein and Kenneth Cole collections at Macy's.

The reason why you notice is because most gov ppl are usually Brooks Brothers.. cut is way more classic.

tfw the leadership in gov is so bad AI isn't the bad guy in this movie, but just another character exploited by the villain.

also, fwiw, Anthropic made it pretty clear they didn't want Claude to be used in this way, hence the whole "no one in government can use Claude" announcement that happened BEFORE they used Claude exactly as not allowed.

right... but like... is Congress gonna vote on going to war with Iran? If not, are they gonna start convening special sessions and dragging Hegseth before congress?

Like... they can't kick it *all* until the midterms. This shit happened in February.
