YOUR DAILY HELPING OF SCHADENFREUDE:

DISPATCHES FROM FORTRESS AMERICA?

THE 21st CENTURY ISNโ€™T TURNING OUT AS I HAD HOPED:

Somebodyโ€™s seen Star Trek: The Motion Picture a few too many times:

UPDATE: Sam Altmanโ€™s Really Weird Week Just Got Even Worse. โ€œOpenAI is under investigation after its chatbot, ChatGPT, allegedly helped plan a mass shooting last year at Florida State University.โ€

BUT IT’S THE BEST REASON TO JOIN THE NAVY! Pentagon removes Navy photo after people noticed sailor’s arm patch said “SAVE THE BIG BOOTY VENEZUELANS.”

The photo shows a sailor onboard the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier working on an EA-18G “Growler” Electronic Warfare Aircraft. The pic was uploaded to the Pentagon’s Defense Visual Information Distribution Service (DVIDS).

But then the comments started pouring in.

Indeed. This seems like pretty small beer when compared to WWII bomber nose art:

AND LIKELY NEVER WILL: Nothing Has Changed for Michael Moore. “I knowโ€ฆ your immediate reaction is a quiet laugh. But heโ€™s not kidding. Heโ€™s deadly serious, apparently hoping weโ€™ve forgotten his track record of faux documentaries.”

OOPS: Russia Cracks Down On VPNs, Brings Down Banks. “Feeling that too much military information has been leaking out via such channels as Telegram (it only took them four years of war to figure this out), Russia officials decided to crack down on VPN use, leading to one of the greatest examples of unintended consequences in recent memory.”

MEANWHILE, ON M-SNOW:

COLONIALISM, STRAIGHT UP: โ€˜Get over itโ€™: Georgetown professor dismisses concerns about Muslim โ€˜rape gangs.โ€™

The Alwaleed bin Talal Chair of Islamic Civilization at Georgetown University recently told social media users to โ€œget over itโ€ in response to concerns about a link between โ€œrape gangsโ€ and Islam.

Professor Jonathan Brown dismissed concerns about the crisis in the United Kingdom in two now-deleted X posts, the Daily Caller reported.

Rupert Lowe, an Independent Member of Parliament, wrote in a post on X, โ€œThere is a link between the rape gangs and one particular religion โ€“ we have seen it again and again and again at our inquiry.โ€

โ€œThat religion is Islam. As a country, we must have the courage to face up to that fact,โ€ he wrote.

Brown replied, โ€œget over it.โ€

He then wrote the same phrase in response to another user who called his remark โ€œabsurdly evil.โ€

The Alwaleed bin Talal chair was funded by a donation from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal as part of a $40 million gift split between Georgetown and Harvard in 2005.

THE HOTTEST OF HOT TAKES FROM THE GRAUNIAD: Are OnlyFans models the best way to explain the climate crisis?

The world, as we know, is in trouble. The last three years have been the hottest ever recorded. Global emissions are still at record highs. The planet is now consistently flirting with the 1.5C limit it promised not to cross. Increasingly, it feels as if we need a genuine miracle to stop us from sleepwalking into catastrophe. Could that miracle be an environmental warning from a woman in her [under]pants?

No, because OnlyFans models have to workout extensively to maintain their physiques, which theyโ€™re quite proud of. And we know from the Grauniad exactly what that means:
