I wonder if people are going to act fake shocked or pretend that it’s unbelievable that the US blew up a school full of kids, now that they’re just attacking schools and hospitals regularly

“It is my image that I want to multiply, but not out of narcissism or megalomania, as could all too easily be believed: on the contrary, I want to conceal, in the midst of so many illusory ghosts of myself, the true me, who makes them move.“

But what if the reason you haven’t scored is because you’re only a long range shooter and you’ve been going at it wrong?
Gotta say, as much as I hate people in the military, I’ve known a bunch of them who didn’t get Nazi tattoos. I don’t know if “they all get Nazi tattoos” is true but also if it absolves them in the way you think if it were true.
We’re losing jobs because Marco Rubio is doing all of them
Text from OpenAI article on its educational programs: "Agency does not emerge from basic AI use alone. Students must progress from simple tasks to deeper applications such as studying, building, creating, coding, and managing agents. But among college-age users, we see a widening global “capability overhang,” defined as the gap between what AI tools can do and how people actually use them. Even advanced student users still operate roughly 90% to 99% below how power users of ChatGPT are engaging with our tools. Educational institutions play a central role in closing that gap. Faculty and educators can help students harness AI’s full potential by embedding authentic AI use cases into coursework—assignments that use AI and mirror real professional work, such as analyzing a market, designing a product concept, evaluating a policy trade-off, or building a simple agent"
Shouldn't let OpenAI puff about education get to me, but its claim students need AI skills for future jobs and "agency", then letting slip it really means making students into GPT "power users", and making that an educational imperative, *and* planning to measure it ... 😦 openai.com/index/ai-edu...

Prior to being asked any questions regarding the case, the agents asked whether they could audio record the interview. advised she was not comfortable being recorded at that time. requested agents explain to her the goal and parameters of the fourth interview. She indicated she was aware that because she was victimized several years prior, the statutes of limitation of any viable federal violation may have run. She asked agents, "what's the point?" The agents explained that all victims of crime should have the opportunity to tell their story; they wanted to provide her with that opportunity should she choose to accept. The agents also explained why they wished to keep the fourth interview focused on abuse endured at the hands of individuals associated with JEFFREY EPSTEIN. previously mentioned she had sexual contact with (current U.S. President) DONALD TRUMP while she was a minor. She previously explained the contact was facilitated through her association with EPSTEIN. / was asked whether she felt
31E-NY-3027571 Serial 312 FD-302a (Rev. 5-8-10) 31E-NY-3027571 (U) Continuation of FD-302 of Interview #4 (PROTECT SOURCE) On 10/16/2019 .. Page 2 of 2 comfortable detailing her contacts with TRUMP. again asked what the point would be of providing the information at this point in her life when there was a strong possibility nothing could be done about it.
DOJ has posted some pages of the missing Epstein files related to the FBI’s belated investigation of Trump’s participation in Epstein crimes after Epstein’s arrest and death in custody in 2019, and they are as bleak as you might expect. www.documentcloud.org/documents/27...
Are we going to have people pretend that this isn’t something the US does as well? Maybe it was Claude?
Just to return to the topic from yesterday, only the US can kill hundreds of thousands of civilians in previous wars and still have its citizens and reporters pretending that it doesn’t do that.

We invented the term “military aged males” for killing children in Iraq and Afghanistan.
They did that when they delivered the weapons and funding, and blocked anyone from stopping the genocide.
This is why I wrote in the essay that Americans are so propagandized to believe that the country is the greatest force for moral good that it can kill as much as it wants around the world, and the citizens will dismiss the evil and violence as either mistakes or completely forget them the next day
Again, I just want to know which country people have in their minds when they perform some new surprise or disgust at the United States doing things that it has always done. Blowing up a school full of innocent people is not out of the ordinary, at all.
even to other americans! www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...
And while everyone is trying to make it seem like the US doesn’t do this kind of thing, they’re actively bombing hospitals and schools in Iran beyond that one. This is like the big debate on whether Israel would ever do such a thing, while they were doing it.

Here’s the US burning patients to death while destroying a hospital in Afghanistan

The US bombed schools in Yemen. There were entire investigations and reports about it. Yet, it feels like every morning, people’s memories get wiped and the reality of this country is replaced by the imaginary one that they need to believe in. It’s ridiculous.
edition.cnn.com/interactive/...
The United States was bombing hospitals in Iraq almost ten years ago. What is this imaginary country that people assume this one is that wouldn’t kill innocent people? Everything Israel does, the US has done.
www.hrw.org/news/2016/12...
You can tell that the US blew up that school because everyone’s doing everything possible to find a way to disqualify the obvious. The country that was bragging about knowing everything it hits suddenly being quiet and wanting to move past the situation while its journalists blame the AI system? Ok.
This Aston Martin season is already the funniest and the season hasn’t even started
Reuters Exclusive
"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
It’s not disingenuous to point out that the NYT did not run a single front page story of the Minab bombing. You don’t dispute this claim because it’s true. And the story that you reference on your webpage does not attribute blame to US/Israel and frames it as an allegation by “Iranian state media”
See? bsky.app/profile/luke...
(It’s like with the signal thread incident where they bombed a residential building and the whole conversation was about committing a transgression by allowing a journalist in there, as if they didn’t kill innocent human beings in that building)
(They blew up a school of kids and they don’t even think it’s worthwhile to answer for it because they know no one will hold them accountable)
