BUSHMAN: I get it and agree. But when you crank this up, pretty soon you're going to have ICE built 24/7 media-monitoring network that'll be taken over by the Democrats. And, buddy, they will use that thing like a â I don't even know what word to use. A samurai sword that's double bladed, double sided. I don't know. It'll be crazy if we're not careful. So we think we're doing things that are right, but it'll backfire, sheriff.
MACK: No. That's â yeah. That's completely unconstitutional. And, I can't â I can't support it, Sam.

The congestion and pollution of Earth orbit is quickly getting worse. We need to be able to quantify how our behaviour impacts the orbital environment in the future. To this end, the European Space Agency (ESA) is adding a new health index to its yearly Space Environment Report that summarises in one number the status of our space environment over time.
Stopped at the nearby Rustic Cabin Coffee for a couple of breakfast sandwiches and some coffee since there wasn't much else open when I rolled into town...A group of older motorcycle riders were chilling out front before going their separate ways.
yes, that Seminole Countyânot exactly a hotbed of Dems you can tell by the local GOP's response that they're shook (and complicit idiots)
âNo Kingsâ protest draws thousands in Seminole County
The Seminole County Democrats estimated 2,400 people attended the Casselberry demonstration alone, with hundreds more gathering simultaneously in Lake Mary.
Many participants indicated this was their first time engaging in political activism. Among them was Father Clint Kandle of Longwood Hills Congregational Church, who expressed concern about the intersection of religion and politics.
âWe gotta rip off the labels and we gotta get back to loving one another,â Kandle said.
The demonstration drew a pointed response from local Republican leadership. The Seminole County GOP responded to the protests on social media by sharing an AI-generated video depicting Trump in royal attire with the caption âLONG LIVE THE KING.â
Thousands of protesters lined U.S. 17-92 in Seminole County Saturday as demonstrators gathered in both Casselberry and Lake Mary to voice their opposition to President Donald Trump and his policies.

wanting to live forever without disease? that's more like God than a king
Tech Billionaires Already Captured the White House. They Still Want to Be Kings | WIRED
The shirtless man in the golden mask and cape has plans to lead his own country one day. There is no location yet, but it will be a crypto- and AI-powered paradise of medical experimentation, filled with people who want to âmake death optional,â he says.
For now, though, heâs leading a sparsely attended rave on the second floor of a San Francisco office building. A DJ is spinning at one end of an open room. A handful of people sway and jump on the space cleared out as a dance floor. Itâs 10 am. At a nearby table, coffee is available with many alternative milks.
The man in the mask is Laurence Ion, a programmer from Romania. After winning a Google Code-in competition as a teenager, he worked for various startups and became what he describes as âfinancially free.â Four years ago, Ion helped launch VitaDAO, a decentralized organization for bankrolling longevity research, which attracted funding from Balaji Srinivasan, a former biotech founder and Coinbase executive, and the drug company Pfizerâs venture arm. Now 31, Ion is part of a crowd of self-styled future-builders that includes Vitalik Buterin, the billionaire cocreator of the Ethereum protocol.
Ion helped organize Zuzalu, Buterinâs 2023 âpop-up cityâ for life extensionists at a resort in Montenegro, and another pop-up called Vitalia, on an island off the Honduran coast. For his latest project, Viva City, Ion has booked this 16-story office building on Market Street. Once the headquarters of Burning Man, it turned into a WeWork, then into Frontier Tower. For the six weeks that Ion and his citizens-to-be are hereâbonding over life extension, playing with blockchain and crypto and AI, and maybe occasionally sleeping overâthe place will be known as Viva Frontier Tower.
The vibe here is more summer camp than city-state. But in a speech to the 100 or so people who attend the first day of a weekend boot camp, Ion underscores just how personal the project is for him. âI spent a lot of time in hospitals,â he says. He was born with a disease called multiple osteochondromas, which causes bone tumors that are most often benign but can be painful. âI know what it's like to feel frail, and I don't want more of that as I age,â he says.
It's well past time for a post-American internet. Every device and every service should be designed so that the people who use them have the final say over how they work. Manufacturers' back doors and digital locks that prevent us from updating our devices with software of our choosing were never a good idea. Today, they're a catastrophe.
The world signed up to these laws because the US threatened them with tariffs if they didn't do as they were told. Well, happy Liberation Day, everyone. The US told the world to pass America's tech laws or face American tariffs.
When someone threatens to burn down your house unless you do as you're told, and then they burn your house down anyway, you don't have to keep doing what they told you.
