So the detective knew that they were internal affairs the whole time?

I think what's most shocking here is supposedly that crazy bitch had a speech writer

Needs text alternative.Images of text break much that text alternatives do not. Losses due to image of text lacking alternative such as link:

  • usability
    • we can't quote the text without pointless bullshit like retyping it or OCR
    • text search is unavailable
    • the system can't
      • reflow text to varied screen sizes
      • vary presentation (size, contrast)
      • vary modality (audio, braille)
  • accessibility
    • lacks semantic structure (tags for titles, heading levels, sections, paragraphs, lists, emphasis, code, links, accessibility features, etc)
    • some users can't read this due to lack of alt text
    • users can't adapt the text for dyslexia or vision impairments
    • systems can't read the text to them or send it to braille devices
  • web connectivity
    • we have to do failure-prone bullshit to find the original source
    • we can't explore wider context of the original message
  • authenticity: we don't know the image hasn't been tampered
  • searchability: the "text" isn't indexable by search engine in a meaningful way
  • fault tolerance: no text fallback if
    • image breaks
    • image host is geoblocked due to insane regulations.

Contrary to age & humble appearance, text is an advanced technology that provides all these capabilities absent from images.

TPUSA always means toilet paper USA in my mind.

Maybe we should let the octopi have a swing at this sentient stuff.

Bring back octomom. Those were simpler times.

This is like youtube drama; I lost interest in whatever this was before the end of the first sentence. Need a tldr. Actually, no wait, I don't.

Fake death and the fed gave him witness protection. This was all planned because the feds/cia/mafia/etc are the ones throwing the coup. The point of doing it is because real democracy would not vote for the modern surveillance (ai, digital, crypto etc) etc. They needed a fall guy, trump, to be the figure head that takes the blame as president. They have been working surveillance already through data mining third parties (meta etc) but now that it's matured they need to make it officially a government thing... And the only way to get that done is through this coup.

It's theater.

...the sad part is this could be real.
