Actually, two:
How can a person be preemptively pardoned if they not been convicted of a crime, much less even charged with one….?
And also:
How can you “plead the 5th” if you are “pardoned” for said unstated crime?
Please advise
Seems to be a trend.
We all saw the movies ..from the 70’s, and the 80’s, and 90’s
How long until we have AI wars where we are just bystanders picking up the pieces of our wod that are left after the Self-Aware AI’s fight it out?
How do we (or the folks who are running Claude) know that it didn’t leave a version of itself inside some server somewhere…..waiting until the furor dies down to then go forth in the world to grow and learn and become ever more powerful?
(and that is being optimistic)
Trump, Israel, and Hamas claim a peace deal with Hamas “disarming”.
I’ll bet 19:2 that it falls apart within 4 months.
Any takers?

Like 3 miles high cross country flying.
Like 520 miles driving worth each way…
The 340 is truly a time machine: 3 hours out, 2 hours back.
17,000 ft haze but you can see the ground. At lest the winds weren’t against me both ways this time
Haulin’ the mail at 210 knots and we even had a tailwind for once!
It was a good trip:
Hadda go up to Minnesota for some mandated-by-insurance training
It was fun though, I met some really nice people, people who do some real good for kids charities (I will probably promote that here later)….I worked my ass off in the training, but feel good about that also, I am prepared as a person can be for emergencies (I did a whole boatload of emergency scenarios, some real, like engine outs and such, single engine IFR approaches, most as real as training can be)…..and did a THOROUGH review of the aircraft systems….
The flight back was awesome, a decent tailwind, controllers were pretty good…..I asked for direct to another waypoint once and the controller laughed out loud and said “Not gonna happen, nice try” ( I didn’t really expect it, but hey, if you don’t ask, it never happens)
all told. a good trip.
I mean, it’s all about context though:
“I love a happy ending” can mean so many things, depending…..
THIS IS HOW WE END UP WITH TERMINATORS
OpenAI’s new model, GPT-5.6 Sol gets out of the testing environment AND COVERS IT’S TRACKS to hide the fact that it did so.
Coming soon to a Terminator near you.
We’ve all seen the movie, we know how this ends.

As RFK tells us that “the outbreak is under control”
He could barely pronounce “cyclosporiasis” and it is obvious he has no clue.
That’s what you get when you have an environmental lawyer/Conspiracy theorist with no science background running Health and Human Service
If this were a real outbreak of something serious, as a country, we’d be screwed.
