New from me @notus.com: The DOJ has cancelled biannual election-crimes classes for investigators. It deleted the manual that explains how to avoid tampering with votes. And it isn't prepping for the usual Election Day command center at FBI hq. www.notus.org/2026-electio...

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right. Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement. This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

It's what Hilton wants to be associated with!

Minneapolis, MN (going backwards a bit. My camera isn’t frozen shut anymore yay!) Going to be honest with you, the site of an FPS agent throwing “less lethal” munitions and pointing a launcher at people in front of a Home2Suites was a surreal thing to observe.

O'Neill is a "longevity guy" and is buddies with Bryan Johnson and... "He has also supported the libertarian idea of creating new geographic zones, possibly at sea, in which residents can live by their own rules (including, notably, permissive regulatory regimes for new drugs and therapies). "

Had to go check my first 10 on Steam as well and seems the really old purchases are actually in license activations.

The missing piece of this viral post is that the Texas officials are lying and deflecting blame. The NWS, hobbled as it is, issued an accurate flood watch for Kerr County the evening before and accurate escalating warnings overnight as the flood was developing.

After media reports & experts warned for months that drastic & sudden cuts at the Nat Weather Service by Trump could impair their forecasting ability & endanger lives during the storm season, TX officials blame an inaccurate forecast by NWS for the deadly results of the flood.

This really *is* Liberation Day: The U.S. Court of International Trade this afternoon struck down Trump’s mass tariffs as unlawful. It’s a fantastic win for the rule of law, human freedom, and prosperity, and a deserved rebuke for arbitrary one-man rule over our livelihoods. /1

BREAKING: Judge McConnell says, "I agree with the states." He wants to know, however, how the order would look, specifically, and is asking for the states to give a proposed order. Then, gives DOJ 24 hours to respond.
