Tengrain, MJ and It's Not A Hoax promoting libel in the Fediverse
People say shit about other people in the #Fediverse all the time but there's a point at which such shitposts enter libel territory, and such is the case with #Tengrain AKA #ItsNotAHoax and this miscreant going by the handle of #MJ.
Be it known that despite claims to the contrary, I'm an #NAACP Lifetime Member and was once an officer in the local Unit, and I've been fighting racism ever since MLKjr got assassinated. Anyone claiming that I'm a racist commits #LIBEL.

I feel like if you get shot on active duty for the US military, it ought to just be an automatic citizenship, or something...

That is a whole new level of F'd-UP.
In my opinion anyone who is allowed to serve in The United States military should be made a citizen (nationalized). Whether shot or not they served this country. It should be an automatic. Besides we should not have non-citizens serving in the military, it is a security issue. So when they are vetted and allowed to join it should be an automatic citizenship period.

Sweet city song
There was a certain way that the city sang
That made you glad you belonged
I remember it now, that the rhythm somehow
Made you wanna sing along...

The city lights, the pretty lights
They can warm the coldest nights
All the people going places
Smiling with electric faces
What they find the glow erases
What they've lose the glow replaces, and life is love.

#Iran #ClassifiedLeaks
So far I've found only one story about this in my newsfeed just now and it's by Rawstory which I will NOT boost. The upshot is that the #NYT got a hold of a classified report stating that Trump's bombings set back Iran by only a few weeks. Any reports, classified or not, contradicting Trump's attempts at theater drama is going to be met with a witch hunt. I just heard a MSNBC host ask why the fakery theater while shrugging her shoulders and I daresay the answer is obvious: it's for theater.
Trump doesn't have to get two parties to agree to a ceasefire when all he does is declare one by fiat. The fakery with the bombing exercise is to get Bibi to shut up about it--it was demanded, it was done, and now Bibi hasn't a demand to make after this. It also makes the GOP hawks shut up and if the gambit didn't work then they're idiots and are expected to sit down and STFU. Trump claims it worked spectacularly and the spectacle was the point.

Mike Johnson calls War Powers Act "unconstitutional"

This one paragraph sums up a decade of MS-DOS use for me:
"The original MS-DOS Editor represented a major step forward for Microsoft's command-line text-editing capabilities at the time of its release. Before 1991, DOS users suffered through EDLIN, a line-based editor so primitive and user-hostile that many people resorted to typing "COPY CON filename.txt" and hoping for the best."
Microsoft's relaunch of EDIT for Linux implies that they're relaunching QBASIC for Linuxarstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/0…

Edlin was a MS/DOS compatible version of the Unix ed utility and it was awkward to use. I was very happy to see edit though I was not using it long before I migrated to GNU/Linux and found I preferred vi and later vim which I still use today.
If someone is a basic developer on GNU/Linux I am sure they would find gambas far more useful than qbasic though I do have a soft spot for these nostalgic applications. 😉
So I did build a copy of edit and installed it on my system. 😀

Feeling Overwhelmed
I lost some sleep today. Not because I had to be up though because I could not calm the monkey (monkey brain). My to do list keeps growing because I keep freezing instead of reacting. It is almost funny how different we can be versus how people perceive us. Keep in mind I do not deliberately try to fit in or appease people's expectations. Though that is just a part of my insecurities. Most people that know me believe I am very confident. Not so much. I am actually very insecure and spend a lot of time reading, researching and studying. Just to be sure that what I want to believe is actually something that is real. Insecurity is a huge motivation in my life. I am very concerned about not knowing. Though I do realize I cannot know everything. I like to be informed about those things that do interest me.
It is time to go to work and I will consider this more when I have the opportunity. I am not really trying to get anywhere with this line of thought. I am just trying to clear it from my head. 😀 😉

So I'm reading in the Times that recruiters and HR departments, who for a decade or more have been using AI tools to generate false job postings and manipulate labor-pools, are "Inundated" by an "applicant tsunami" of AI generated resumes and AI-faked confirmation video calls. Apparently, using automated systems to spam an entire industry doesn't result in everyone just shrugging and accepting the situation.
Who could possibly have predicted this...

So I spent about 3 hours working with an AI to develop an AI prompt optimized for minimal execution time that would tell the AI to identify product data, product claims, and scientific evidence on a few hundred products, cross reference those data and rank products by likelihood of working as claimed.
We're not there yet, but I really like that on our trial run, the same AI that had helped me write the prompt, upon realizing that it was the chosen executor of that prompt, began it's response with, "OK, This is a massive undertaking..."

Are you using a custom LLM or are you using one out of the box? By custom I mean one you built yourself not just one you trained. The results are going to be very interesting as product claims can rarely be accounted for in product data. Marketers have a way of ... well lying is the only appropriate term I can think of. I would love to hear more about this project as it continues. Please keep posting to keep us up to date.
@Unus Nemo No, I'm experimenting to see how much useful work you can get out of a free, public AI service. I generally start with Grok, then attempt to reproduce on ChatGPT and Claude.
My whole project may come to nothing, in the end, because the damned things keep making up some percentage of the data, even if you spoonfeed all the research materials to it and specifically ask it to use only, and all of the data provided. And they lie about what and why they did what they did at least 80% of the time...
I'm at best only about 80% there. I'm not sure my theory of getting the AI to help me write the prompt will turn out to be helpful...

That's expected of MAGA. The surprise is #Tengrain suddenly falling into that category.
New York's history is clearly rife with racism as can be clearly observed from its various ghettos, but what is also obvious is that it has culturally surmounted that history. Historically, white supremacists have lambasted both the Italian and the Irish, white as they are, because of their bigotry, but they don't enjoy the political power that they once had in the bad old days. Those ghettos have morphed into ethnically distinctive celebrations of overt preservation of the various cultures.
Italian, Irish, Puerto Rican, Hatian, Asian, Middle Eastern, Persian, Indian, etc etc etc openly celebrating the holidays of their choosing and fearlessly inviting the public of all stripes to participate. It's a great thing to be able to celebrate one's heritage without the fear that used to rule those streets.
