So, not only are #AI companies rampantly stealing IP, they are apparently bulk purchasing physical books , including rare volumes, and "destructively" scanning them, with a notional goal of eliminating all the books in the world in favor of Ai spitting out #slop on command.

You know Donald's thrashing a bit when he plays the populist card against oil companies. Though I'm sure he'll forgive them if they just give *him* the money. On behalf of the public, of course.

The New York Times: #Blanche Gives G.O.P. Senators Written Assurances on Trump’s I.R.S. Deal
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/us/politics/todd-blanche-trump-irs-fund-order.html

Even without impuning Blanche's character, his making any promises about something #Trump decides he wants is meaningless. Trump has made it clear that the AG works for him, and is expected to follow any commands given by the POTUS. Blanche can't give reliable assurances about anything.

The only positive thing I can say about #LindseyGraham is that his "never met a #war I didn't like" attitude may have kept the US supporting #Ukraine against Putin's invasion (and Trump's indifference).

Aside from that, he was always eager to send troops anywhere at the drop of a hat, and the brief moments of treating #Trump as the ass he is were followed by utter collapse and brown nosing to a point that folk wondered what kompromat Trump had on him.

Federal prosecutors are charging an American traveler under a federal law against damaging or destroying property before the government can seize it.

His "crime?" Providing a #DuressPasscode to wipe his phone contents when the US #CustomsAndBorderPatrol folk demanded access to the mobile on his reentering the country.

"Nearly 150,000 mail ballots rejected in California’s primary despite efforts to count every vote"

The AP headline's headline should read (since it's largely what's in the story):

"California mail voting rules worked, 150K ballots rejected"

Trump objections have always been "votes come in late and still count, anyone can send in a ballot" etc. The article makes it clear California is preventing that, despite the headline.

Went to The #Odyssey last night. Had a great time seeing an ambitious movie that largely pays off on what it's trying to do. Worth seeing.

Now, all of a sudden, #Trump is concerned about #airquality ? No, he's only concerned about looking like The Biggest Bully on the Block. Also, the biggest idiot.

The #Trump administration has finally come up with an odd rationale for banning #windfarms : they confuse radar, so drones can sneak past them and do drone things, so clearly they are an existential #nationalsecurity risk.

Next up: "You know, when drones fly just above trees in national forests, it confuses radar, so ..."

I am not a fancy-talking diplomat or politician, but this sure looks like a shake-down to me -- basically, charging all shipping through the Strait of Hormuz a 20% tariff to pay for the costs of keeping the Strait open which were largely necessitated by Trump's actions in the first place.

Must be nice to have a great big navy to extort people with.
