Chocolate induces vomiting in dogs all by its lonesome. Had you said you had induced their vomiting, there could be no misunderstanding. It's surprising how many things dogs should never eat that are poisonous to them. Glad they didn't get into your stash.

Is that what you meant? I didn't actually witness the vomiting either, but I had lots of proof.


It was metaphorical, literal and spiritual.
And this morning, my cockapoo, who has had repeated chocolate related seizures,
knocked over the garbage and rummaged through it.
To get after the left over pizza crusts...
Oh this chaotically magical sigil casting life.

Both his words and manner of speech seemed at first totally unfamiliar to me, and yet somehow they stirred memories - as an actor might be stirred by the forgotten lines of some role he had played far away and long ago.

World’s Largest Hedge Fund to Replace Managers with Artificial Intelligence
December 22nd, 2016

Via: Guardian:

The world’s largest hedge fund is building a piece of software to automate the day-to-day management of the firm, including hiring, firing and other strategic decision-making.

Bridgewater Associates has a team of software engineers working on the project at the request of billionaire founder Ray Dalio, who wants to ensure the company can run according to his vision even when he’s not there, the Wall Street Journal reported.

“The role of many remaining humans at the firm wouldn’t be to make individual choices but to design the criteria by which the system makes decisions, intervening when something isn’t working,” wrote the Journal, which spoke to five former and current employees.

The firm, which manages $160bn, created the team of programmers specializing in analytics and artificial intelligence, dubbed the Systematized Intelligence Lab, in early 2015. The unit is headed up by David Ferrucci, who previously led IBM’s development of Watson, the supercomputer that beat humans at Jeopardy! in 2011.

Now imagine a regional/global government issuing arrest/execution warrants/commands in the same way according to some algorithm.
Worse, imagine those algorithm parameters defined “according to the ‘vision’ of bureaucrats...

^^They're trying. They're also finding out that you need managers, you know...looking.

WSJ did a very entertaining and interesting piece on the challenges, assumptions and failures of Diallo's project. Managing investments is easy to automate; managing people is not.

From the point of view of U.S. power
He’s harming it
But from the point of view of U.S. elites
He’s giving them everything they want
I mean, in fact what’s going on in the United States
If you think about it as a kind of a two-level
Wrecking ball, if you want to call it that
Trump has rolled
Whether this is conscious or not, I don’t know
But you can see what’s happening
Trump’s role is to ensure
That the media and the public attention
Are always concentrated on him
So every time you turn on a television set: Trump
Open the front page of the newspaper: Trump
And in order to maintain
He’s a conman, basically a showman
And in order to maintain public attention

What is #WhereAreTheChildren

"The children I've spoken to who describe their experiences while they were separated describe absolute horror."


Trujillo left the boy’s room, but returned a short time later and lifted the child’s blanket again. He resumed the tickling, but this time he also rubbed M.A.C.’s penis through his clothing, court records show. The boy moved Trujillo’s hand.

“I know what you want, I can give you anything you need,” Trujillo told the boy, according to police records.

Maria Butina happened

Butina is sitting in jail ...no bail ...somebody finally noticed




Manafort is sitting in jail (trial starts tomorrow) no bail ...somebody finally noticed


"The only reason Manafort is wearing a green prison jumpsuit right now is because he went to work for donald trump.


Are the Koch brothers considered elites?....Asking for a friend
Mazars and Deutsche Bank could have ended this nightmare before it started.
They could still get him out of office.
But instead, they want mass death.
Don’t forget that.
