Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today,
I wish, I wish he'd go away!
This is one of my favorite short, creepy 'n fun stories. I got this poem from the movie Identity (2003).
It turns out this poem has a long history. Check it out:

Records show that senior State Department officials in both D.C. and Gambia coordinated with Starlink execs to coax, lobby and browbeat Gambian government ministers to help Musk. One official said Gambia is under “maximum pressure” to yield.

Trump State Dept. Leaned on African Nations to Help Musk’s Starlink
The State Department has intervened on behalf of Musk’s satellite internet company in five developing nations. In Gambia, U.S. diplomats have lobbied and browbeat at least seven government ministers as part of a “maximum pressure” campaign.ProPublica

It's funny because StarLink isn't fulfilling it's current paying customers' orders, and StarLink is already being saturated.
What the Actual Fuck? The whole country is about twice the size of L.A. County. Yeah, there's a fucking Revenue Stream ya' just gotta' have.
Edit: My Error ... Gambia is *SMALLER* than L.A. County by ~400mi² (I was originally going to use King County, or 'Greater Seattle' but switched mid post).
Why would a regime delete the law against international corruption if not in order to spread more corruption?

In which @alex and I pick apart the story spun on the AI 2027 website. Spoiler alert: It’s TESCREALism all the way down.
Thx to Christie Taylor for production!
AGI: "Imminent", "Inevitable", and Inane, 2025.04.21 - Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000
Emily and Alex pore through an elaborate science fiction scenario about the "inevitability" of Artificial General Intelligence or AGI by the year 2027 - which rests atop a foundation of TESCREAL nonsense, and Sinophobia to boot.References:AI 2027F...Buzzsprout

A US-based research team has published an abstract of a study investigating the physiological similarities between ME/CFS and long COVID using invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing (iCPET).

![Commonalities between ME/CFS and long COVID on exercise testing A US research team used cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) to analyse the heart, lung and circulatory (blood flow) function during exercise of 438 individuals with ME/CFS, 73 individuals with long COVID, and 43 controls. Key parameters - (02) 咖 O H VO2 cardiac output right atrial pressure peak oxygen extraction (peak oxygen use) (maximum (pressure in blood heart (oxygen extracted pumped by chamber) from blood) heart/min) Key findings: Individuals with ME/CFS and those with long COVID had reduced ability to use oxygen, lower cardiac (heart) output, poor oxygen extraction from blood, and abnormally low right atrial (heart) pressure. There were no significant differences between the patient groups - both had real physiological limitations. J. Squires et al (2025).
