What do you call an ant that won’t stop trying to give you a hairdo?

A permanent!

What do you call an ant who skips class, but who is also too honest to lie about it?

A truant!

Data for the data god!

Well that's what I'm curious about. I honestly don't know if he's a misinformation propagandist like say "project veritas" or if he's just biased and somewhat gullible.

@bri_seven

We've stepped out of a set of now irrelevant expectations that, if the FBI were to tell us something in press conference, even if it tuned out to be shaded by omission or exaggerated it would at least have some evidence to back it up. Since at some point lawyers would argue over it and it would look bad to be on the losing side of those arguments.

@bri_seven

Nonetheless I think looking back at what Patel has done in the past, the ideas he's platformed, what he considers credible, how he arrives at truth could shed some light on what he is likely doing now.

Looking to the past has the advantage of discovery, we can determine how effective his "investigative methods" were, and if they had flaws how they functioned.

Then look for the same patterns in new and unverified information.

If I were a high profile person who might be targeted for political reasons I would think about these questions.

Being just a little paranoid and not at all high profile I'm thinking about them anyways.

@bri_seven

It is a real question. There isn't much a person can do if they are facing fabricated evidence from the government. We've seen this most often from individual police or police departments, and some people have been exonerated after evidence planting became too obvious. (caught on camera for example)

But what about planting digital evidence? That would be harder to contest. I think backup snapshots might be the only option.

Unrelated? (hopefully) I've been thinking about how with a system of back ups one could *prove* that a particular file was never on your phone or computer. Tricky problem!

Naturally I trust my "friends in the government" to puzzle it all out.

If I were an independent journalist I'd look into the podcasts and media produce by Kash Patel current FBI director prior to starting his job. I'm really curious how he handled information in the context of journalism. Did he ever issue corrections when proven wrong? What did he consider reliable sources.

There is some evidence that his information management has not changed despite a very different context and this is alarming.

@blogdiva

Adams did something in "the war on rats" that might actually work?????

I'm so shocked and excited.

I have often wished I could find a curator of mites to help me understand the mites I find with ants sometimes. Identifying mites is very esoteric and impresses me to no end.

Close the door or it spreads.

Ya'll need to ban that man from your country. I shouldn't say this because then he'll just come back here more but... yeah.

When Elon said "we'll coup whoever we want" I didn't think he meant the UK.

We Gon Be Alright
Has the best take on the current political circus.

He's very level-headed and funny in general. I hope he doesn't decide to just be a sports commentator. I do not even understand what the sport are.

@jakobtougaard

Yeah, no frames, I have a punch to make holes for the stitches so they will be aligned, then we just sewed a single signature. When they have a few signatures we'll bind them together.

could never run for office in NYC because i put blue cheese on my taquitos.

Someday I will stop underestimating the complexity and skill required for the "crafts" that I do.

I taught them how to sew sections for book binding, which is more complex than it sounds, but I think I can refine the lesson a bit.

And unexpected bonus is they take notes with more care when they made the notebook themselves.

(Last term I just bought notebooks, this time I thought "why not sew them?")

@mynameistillian

Online groups can make it easier for people to be fooled by this stuff. But normally Black guys who end up in these places are usually just extraordinarily sexist in my experience. Too sexist for regular folks. But also without the self awareness to realize when they are being laughed at.

But they also do the flashing of left wing stuff just to sow confusion. They are all in with the "blame the left" game.
