    TWITTER JAIL—Writers for The Babylon Bee, currently inmates in Twitter Jail, are attempting to slowly tunnel their way out of their cells, according to an exposé by Dateline NBC. The dangerous inmates have allegedly concealed their escape tunnel behind a poster of their longtime crush Gina Carano. "Some of the most ruthless and dangerous people on the planet are residents here in Twitter Jail," said Warden Parag Agrawal. "We have Trump and O'Keefe in isolation. Alex Jones is in and out of the hole... I would be very surprised if these Babylon Bee pests escaped." "But sir," said Keith Morrison...

    Our model took mere hours to suggest 40,000 potentially lethal compounds, says startup AI algorithms designed to generate therapeutic drugs can be easily repurposed to invent lethal biochemical weapons, a US startup has warned. Experts have sounded alarm bells over the potential for machine-learning systems to be used for good and bad. Computer-vision tools can create digital art or deepfakes. Language models can produce poetry or toxic misinformation. Now, Collaboration Pharmaceuticals, a company based in North Carolina, has shown how AI algorithms used in drug design can be rejigged to create biochemical weapons.

    Greetings: Can anybody here point me to a non-PC web browser that can post images as wallpaper? I have both Microsoft Edge and Gab Dissenter, but neither appears to be capable of posting images as wallpaper. I was thinking of downloading Firefox again, as I've had it before, and it can create wallpapers from images. Unfortunately, I have no idea whether that lunatic who wanted to squash Trumpian internet thought is still in charge of Mozilla. (FD: I do use Firefox on my work laptop, and it's fine for that purpose and used by lots of us at work, along...

  • Dirty Lesley Stahl Told President Trump in Her October 2020 Interview Before the Election the Hunter Biden Laptop “Can’t Be Verified” – She Lied

    Lesley Stahl has quite a career of lies. Her most famous interview to date was when she lied repeatedly to the American public in her interview with President Trump in October 2020 before the presidential election. Stahl was carrying water for the Biden crime family. She must be very proud. The country is doing so well. You can thank the far left hacks in the fake news media for doing their best to lie to the American public about Joe Biden and his family’s crimes. To this day the mainstream media still won’t report on Joe’s obvious dementia that is...

    As Google prepares to bring most employees back to the office, the company is facing a workforce that’s increasingly unhappy when it comes to key issues such as compensation and an ability to meet career goals.Google’s annual employee surveys, internally called “Googlegeist,” show that a growing number of staffers don’t view their pay packages as fair or competitive with what they could make in a similar role elsewhere. They are also questioning their employer’s ability to execute.The surveys were taken in January and released to employees last week. CNBC viewed results from the company overall as well as individual groups...

    The labs in question are part of a network of facilities linked to the Biological Threat Reduction Program, a US-government-funded effortA Twitter thread has gone viral after making eyebrow-raising claims that the Russian government is taking down American biolabs in Ukraine under the pretext of the "special military operation" that has pushed the world to the brink of an all-out war.The claims surfaced shortly after Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping met recently and issued a joint statement slamming US bioweapons activities. It's worth noting that both Russia and the Soviet Union have a long history of...

    In early 2021 at the height of media generated covid fear the World Economic Forum released a series of panel discussions and white papers outlining a “pandemic” of a completely different nature; what they referred to as an impending “cyber-attack with covid like characteristics.” The program agenda at the WEF was titled “Cyberpolygon” and headed with unsettling zeal by globalist Klaus Schwab. The WEF and Schwab are best known for two things: 1) Their involvement in a war game called Event 201 which simulated the global spread of a coronavirus pandemic. This simulation was held two months BEFORE the real...

    ...many did not think the EU would play the SWIFT card on Russia. It turns out they were correct...SWIFT is the international payment system. Cutting off a top country from SWIFT access is a very big deal.When the US and EU trotted out the SWIFT sanction card, I thought I got that one wrong. Closer inspection by Eurointelligence and others shows it's Not So Swift After All.FAZ informs us that the Swift sanctions are essentially dead in the water. Only seven banks, representing a quarter of the Russian banking sector, are subject to the sanctions. What happened is that once...

    Susan Wojcicki, CEO of YouTube, praised "the informal cooperation that has enabled the government and our company to censor unacceptable ideas from being posted on our platform. However, the lack of a specific law specifying that it is legal for us to do this leaves our company liable to being sued. Knowing how big CYA is in government circles, they could always weasel out on the informal agreement and disavow any knowledge of our actions. Following former President Reagan's advice 'to trust, but verify,' we'd appreciate it if Congress could formalize the relationship by passing a law that legitimizes it."...

    The Biden administration is asking a federal judge to keep a report about Georgia voting machines from being seen by the public in any form. The Biden administration is urging a federal judge not to issue any form of a report about potential flaws in the Dominion Voting Systems’ equipment used in Georgia, even though both sides in a court case over the machines want at least a version of the report to get out. U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg is considering releasing a redacted version of a report from J. Alex Halderman, a University of Michigan computer science professor....

    People don’t want outsiders reading their private messages —not their physical mail, not their texts, not their DMs, nothing. It’s a clear and obvious point, but one place it doesn’t seem to have reached is the U.S. Senate. A group of lawmakers led by Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) have re-introduced the EARN IT Act, an incredibly unpopular bill from 2020 that was dropped in the face of overwhelming opposition. Let’s be clear: the new EARN IT Act would pave the way for a massive new surveillance system, run by private companies, that would roll back...
