So to avoid confusion , yesterday Bezos sucked up-to trump and today The Zuck is

Meta today announced that Dana White, John Elkann and Charlie Songhurst have been elected to the company’s board of directors.

Mark Zuckerberg, Founder and CEO of Meta, said, “Dana, John and Charlie will add a depth of expertise and perspective that will help us tackle the massive opportunities ahead with AI, wearables and the future of human connection.”
Dana White? :tearsofjoy:

Haven't watched a match for awhile, is there much AI happening in UFC these days?

Is this of much relevance to the average mainstream American yobbo?
 
I’ve just put in a request to transfer the IW library’s single copy from Marrickville to Balmain. Should have it within 48 hrs.

I looked up The Forever War, too, but there are already 25 people in the queue for five copies. But I think it’s out in the smaller sized paperback format next month so I’ll wait until then and just buy it.
So nice you guys still have libraries. They're a vanishing resource in the States.

As a kid and even a teen, I spent a lot of time in them. Of course that was before cable sports on TV.
 
There's allusion of horse shoe theory in there (several times), some on here might not like that.
 
Zuck benz the kneez again


Meta CEO and Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg announced in an online video that his companies would end their current fact-checking process and pivot to a “community notes” model implemented on X by Elon Musk.

Zuckerberg laid out a five-point plan that started with getting rid of fact-checkers, ostensibly blaming “legacy media” for writing “nonstop about how misinformation was a threat to democracy” shortly after President-elect Donald Trump was elected in 2016.

The takeover
 
Shocked I tell you
The federal judge who handled President-elect Donald J. Trump’s classified documents case temporarily barred the special counsel, Jack Smith, on Tuesday from releasing his final report on the investigation to the public.

In a brief ruling, Judge Aileen M. Cannon, a Trump appointee who dismissed the documents case in its entirety this summer, enjoined Mr. Smith from sharing his report outside the Justice Department until a federal appeals court in Atlanta, which is now considering a challenge to her dismissal of the case, makes a decision about how to handle the report.

Mark Zuckerberg: "We're going back to our roots" (defending plans to scrap fact-checking.)

The Jack Hopkins interpretation of Zuckerberg's comment: "So, I get to Mar-a-Lago, and Trump says, 'You curly-headed little ****, you're not going to be fact-checking everything I say!' So, I said, 'Okay.'"
 
Oh dear
A New York appellate court on Tuesday declined to halt President-elect Donald J. Trump’s criminal sentencing, dealing a significant setback to his hopes of shutting down the case before returning to the White House.

Mr. Trump, who is scheduled to face sentencing on Friday, 10 days before being sworn in for a second presidential term, had asked the appeals court to intervene and freeze the proceeding. His lawyers argued that Mr. Trump was entitled to full immunity from prosecution, and even sentencing, now that he was the president-elect.

The emergency application fell to a single appellate court judge, Ellen Gesmer, who held a brief hearing on Tuesday before denying Mr. Trump’s request within a half-hour.

At the hearing, Justice Gesmer appeared highly skeptical of Mr. Trump’s arguments, grilling Mr. Trump’s lawyer about whether he had “any support for a notion that presidential immunity extends to president-elects?”

Nyt

The local library was my finishing school. Books that we didn't have at home or study in formal education, music that I couldn't find elsewhere, the library filled those gaps. You could even get half an hour on an Atari 64 with your card, also something we lacked at home.

The Forever War book is the talk of the town, it seems.

Glad you’ll get your hands on Fantasyland. Just one word of warning, if you have any religious tendencies - Andersen’s position (more taken as a given than explicitly stated) is that all religion is bunk and deserves no place in public policy.

Some people could take offence at that assumption and in doing so would shut themselves off from the wider message.

It’s real Masters of the Universe stuff.
