CHANGE:

OPEN THREAD: Tuesday’s Groovy.

WE ARE TWO-SPIRITS IN THE MATERIAL WORLD: Former Deputy Director of Biden’s “Office of Gun Violence Prevention” insultingly calls two-spirit people “two-faced” when asked to define the term:

Mr. Hawley also asked about Mr. Jackson suggesting in his report that instead of funding the police, governments should invest in programs that “acknowledge the need for safe space, initiatives led by lesbian, gay, bisexual, two spirit, trans and gender non-conforming people.”

The Missouri Republican asked what a “two-spirit” individual was.

“I mean, really, this is your policy this is your policy-makers playbook. You are the witness called by the Democrats on this committee, so I assume you reflect their views. Well, you don’t want to fund the police,” Mr. Hawley said. “You want to fund safe spaces for ‘two spirit’ individuals. What is a two-spirit person?”

Mr. Jackson retorted, “I feel like I’m looking at a two-faced individual, because you talk about reducing violence and talking about speaking out against violence.”

In accordance with the prophecy:

Why is the Democratic Party such a cesspit of anti-two-spirit bigotry?

(Classical allusion in headline.)

BEGUN, THE CLONE WAR HAS: Babies could be born without biological mothers.

Babies could be born without a biological mother after scientists created functional human eggs from skin.

American researchers demonstrated it was possible to replace the DNA from an egg with the genetic material from another person’s skin, and turn it into a sex cell ready for fertilisation.

When the team fertilised the egg with sperm, it began growing into an embryo, until the experiment was halted at six days – the point at which an embryo would be transferred to the womb in IVF.

The breakthrough opens the possibility of skin DNA from a man being placed inside a donor egg and fertilised by another man, leading to a baby with two biological fathers and no DNA from a woman.

It could also provide an unlimited supply of fresh eggs for women who struggle to conceive because of age, infertility or medical treatment.

Pete and Chasten Buttigieg, your time is now!

In any case, it’s all fun and games until your lifeclock begins to blink red and black, and it’s time to don the hockey mask of doom:

21st CENTURY HEADLINES: Emily Blunt brands AI-generated actress Tilly Norwood ‘terrifying’ as she begs talent agencies not to sign her.

Emily Blunt has branded AI-generated actress Tilly Norwood ‘terrifying’ and begged talent agencies not to sign her.

AI talent studio Xicoia created the digital performer, a young brunette actress, with Eline Van der Velden unveiling the project at the Zurich Film Festival.

Tilly is already attracting interest from talent agents, and Smashing Machine actress Emily confessed she is horrified at the prospect.

Shown a report on Tilly, Emily told Variety: ‘Does it disappoint me? I don’t know how to quite answer it, other than to say how terrifying this is.

‘No, are you serious? That’s an AI? Good Lord, we’re screwed. That is really, really scary. Come on, agencies, don’t do that. Please stop. Please stop taking away our human connection.’

Yes, Hollywood is really screwed, and not just by “Tilly Norwood:”

Last lines of tweet: “The days of celebrities are pretty much coming to an end. Filmmaking just became content creation.

Miller adds, “It’s all artificial and soulless, but given Hollywood’s bottom-line-only business model with no original filmmaking and doubling down on franchises, sequels, and remakes, it was inevitable.”

Just as George Lucas kitbashed Flash Gordon, Star Trek, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Kurosawa samurai movies, The Dam Busters, and err, Triumph of the Will to make the first Star Wars movie, somebody’s going to use this technology to make the next original sci-fi movie or TV series, the video version of Les Paul and Mary Ford recording hit songs alone in their home studio in the late 1940s and ’50s. Meanwhile, Disney thinks the path to big screen salvation is a movie version of The Mandolorian. Good luck, fellas!

 

 

TRUNALIMUNUMAPRZURE! Unearthed Biden note cards reveal he had bios, photo reminders on Hillary Clinton, Schumer.

Unearthed note cards from the Biden era show the administration detailed the names and photos of high-profile Democrats, such as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as well as lesser-known individuals for then-President Joe Biden to ostensibly reference during live events, documents obtained by Fox News Digital show.

Five different “palm cards,” which are hand-sized note cards frequently used by politicians for quick reminders or talking points during public events, especially while on the campaign trail, were uncovered amid an investigation of National Archive documents related to the Biden administration’s use of an autopen, and obtained by Fox News Digital.

Four of the five cards obtained by Fox Digital are stamped with a disclaimer reading, “PRESIDENT HAS SEEN,” while a fifth card detailing an ABC News reporter’s question to Biden during a press conference did not include that stamp.

It is unclear if Biden relied on each of the cards during the various public events.

Clinton was among a handful of Americans who received a Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the U.S., in the waning days of the Biden administration. One of the palm cards obtained by Fox Digital reads “Presidential Medal of Freedom Recipients” and was followed by photos and short biographies of the recipients, including a photo of Clinton and a short note detailing she “was the Secretary of State in the Obama-Biden administration.”

The note card also included a photo of Hollywood actor Denzel Washington, who also received the prestigious award in January, and a note describing him as an actor, director and producer whom the New York Times called “one of the greatest actors of the 21st century.” The note also had photos and short bios for lesser known individuals who received the award, including renowned chef José Andrés and businessman and philanthropist David Rubenstein.

Flashback:

“Start your tape right now,” [MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough] continued, “because I’m about to tell you the truth. And eff you if you can’t handle the truth. This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever. Not a close second, and I’ve known him for years. The Brzezinskis have known him for 50 years. If it weren’t the truth, I wouldn’t say it.”
