When I search for revisionist history regarding the supposedly legendary badass Amazon warriors of Minos, all I get are articles about how great all these legendary badass female warriors were in all times and places, and how that fact has been covered up since the dawn of time by jealous insecure men trying to maintain power over women. According to a fellow I know who believes every positive word ever said about the Amazons of Minos, this is just proof that good, truthful and accurate [CURRENT DAY] scholarship has disproven the stale pale male narratives of the filthy, uneducated and uncivilized past. Me, I'm just an old lump of coal, and  I'll continue to believe my lying eyes, the evidence of my senses, and the irrefutable case made by millions of years of evolution. You know, the other thing these pussy-worshippers place on a pedestal until it conflicts with their personal prejudices, preconceived notions or material safety and security.

Diana Prince does not approve of that message.

Funny you should bring her up. My response to this fellow was that the artists of ancient Minos obviously must have served as inspiration for the creator of Wonder Woman, but it didn't make their art any less fictional.

I was purely staying with the character, not any of the people that played it..

Lynda Carter has turned out to be a baby-killing scumbag, so you may or may not be right.

So assassination attempt has pretty much vanished from the news.   Trump had plane issues, now Vance had some.   Political opponent was appointed by the party, not elected by the people.

And learn that the Trump shooter, was cremated 10 days after the attempt and the FBI didn't even bother to notify anyone....  ( and at this point who knows if he was the only one..  there are rumors due to some of the sounds during the event )

Business as usual in a banana republic i guess.

LoL

The Guardian :  " Inciting rioters in Britain was a test run for Elon Musk. Just see what he plans for America"  and " has very few constraints on his power.'

While im no Musk fan, these people are just nuts. And dangerous.

Should be fun watching Chicago tomorrow. 1968 all over again, only will be 100x worse

The only legal doctrine more dangerous than "respecting precedent" is "the fuhrer's word is above all written law."

They are liable to do it themselves...

Where is Mrs. O'Leary's cow when you need her?

Sigh.  Our new leadership  ( after they are installed, like Biden was )

"“It means that everyone is the same and everyone shares,” Walz told his students in the unearthed article, explaining what life under communism was like. Walz went on to tout how people in China received free housing, paid no taxes in the late 1970s, and got 30 pounds of free food per month.

Walz first traveled to China on a teaching fellowship in 1989, shortly after the Tiananmen Square massacre, according to multiple outlets.

The Minnesota governor married his wife on June 4, 1994, the fifth anniversary of the massacre, the BBC reported. Walz’s wife later said that “he wanted to have a date he’ll always remember.”

The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability on Aug. 16 opened a probe into Walz’s alleged ties to China and the Chinese Communist Party, according to a press release. The committee claimed that Walz had his expenses covered by the Chinese government during a 1993 trip to the country and raised concerns over his affiliation with Macau Polytechnic University, a Chinese college that says it has a “long-held devotion to and love for the motherland.”

lol, yahoo news.. no bias there

"Given Donald Trump's hostility toward democracy, it's worth pausing when he asks supporters, "Why are we having an election?”

"Wow, look, we  had voter issues in 2020. I guess Trump did win. But that means he cant run a 3rd time, is disqualified and now must be arrested for trying."

"man sentenced in UK with 2 years in prison for saying a racist statement and yelling at a police dog"

I have seen this movie. It didn't end well.

ok, even for me, who supports use of LLMs and such, is going too far.

"Voters in Wyoming’s capital city on Tuesday are faced with deciding whether to elect a mayoral candidate who has proposed to let an artificial intelligence bot run the local government.

Earlier this year, the candidate in question – Victor Miller – filed for him and his customized ChatGPT bot, named Vic (Virtual Integrated Citizen), to run for mayor of Cheyenne, Wyoming. He has vowed to helm the city’s business with the AI bot if he wins."

Even if the results are worse I'd support an LLM politician just to accelerate Clown World, but unless an LLM is programmed by the kings of Clown World like Google or Facebook, the odds of it being worse are pretty small.

Unless you can show that the data they got was cheated, then it could be used to invalidate their decision.

I called that. Trump wasn't elected. Regardless of any skullduggery that occurred at the polls, the electoral college elects the president, and there is no dispute that they elected Biden.

Welcome to bizarro land. 

( not that it surprises me however )
