Their daughter was bullied by fake nude images at school. They're warning others. A deepfake abuse scandal left their 16-year-old daughter afraid to go to school. Here's what these parents and experts want you to know.

Trump openly plans to stop the vote if there's "an emergency" whereupon a "special team" will decide which votes count.

Today has maybe the most whiplash vibe swing of any day ever. We woke up to a threat of genocide and nuclear war, learned that we might have a peace deal in the early evening, and went to bed with a historic Dem sweep in Wisconsin and NYC-DSA declaring overwhelming confidence in AOC as our champion.

There will be if enough copies sell. It's not up to me, it's up to the publisher--and the public. If it was up to me, I'd write one now.

Trump wasn't going to launch a nuke. He might have carpet bombed, murdering thousands of civilians. But mostly his rhetoric was to scare the military into a coup, and regime change, so he could claim a win. His only real success in the war is re his other motivation, making people forget Epstein.

It's worth a shot. If it's working, fine. But systematization (despite certain defensive language in the paper about that) might be missing the point. Experiential knowledge of the numinous is likely more productive. See, Meister Eckhart, Krishnamurti and Alan Watts.
