Wait...the murderer is also the father? And the 4 year old is also his? This is not a clear story.

"Now, less than one year after that request from ICE agents was ignored, Escoto is being held without bail on three counts of murder in the grisly knife slaying in Modesto of an infant and two women, including one with whom he allegedly had a child, according to police."

"A surviving child of approximately 4 years old was found in the home and taken into custody by Child Protective Services.

According to The California Post, California’s controversial state sanctuary law obstructed federal authorities who sought to deport him."

Is there another father? Were these women citizans?

I asked Grok:

So he's a convicted criminal and illegal alien, and they still had him in the home. My compassion is waning

"Yes — he was a known repeat offender with a documented criminal record (multiple DUIs, deportations), yet he was still living in the home as Fabiola’s partner and father of their 3-year-old."

Grok couldn't say if the victims were citizens or not.

Of course she is! Obedient and reliable as a minion and tool, and a very useful asset for purposes of distraction. She's irrelevant in every way but that.

The only good outcome is that the IRGC is just removed from power of any sort.

"The ~15-second clip spreads outrage effectively (hundreds of thousands of views, massive engagement), but lacks any verifiable details: no HOA name, city, state, date, or board identified. Searches across news, X, and web turn up zero matching real incidents with this exact announcement."

The teenage brain is biologically wired differently when it comes to sleep and alertness, particularly in the early morning. This isn't laziness—it's a well-documented shift in circadian rhythms during puberty.

Why this happens: During adolescence (roughly starting around puberty), two key biological changes occur:Delayed melatonin release: Melatonin (the hormone that signals sleepiness) is released later in the evening for teens—often around 10:45–11:00 PM or later—compared to younger children or adults. It also stays elevated longer into the morning.

themarginalian.org

Circadian phase delay (also called "sleep phase delay"): The internal body clock shifts later by up to 2 hours. Teens naturally prefer later bedtimes and wake times. Their brains build up sleep pressure (the drive to sleep) more slowly, making it harder to fall asleep early and easier to stay up later.

This means many teens are still producing melatonin (feeling sleepy) when forced to wake up for early school or activities, leading to grogginess, reduced alertness, and impaired cognitive function in the early morning.

Courtesy of Grok. So yes, obviously, parenting is the number one factor in how our children function in this world. Each child requires a unique style of parenting, so a blanket statement that being un-gentle with your offspring is the way to go misses the mark, and opportunity for a different kind of relationship is lost.

I guess we all have our preferences about standard v DST. Imo, school starting early doesn't really work for anyone but the ones whose aim is to create obedient drones who get used to doing shit we don't actually want to do. Teens have brains that don't function well that early, anyway. If the issue is that we don't want our kids going to school in the dark...start school later.

Did we really make a flair for this exact habbening?

It seems folly to make ourselves so entirely dependent on fragile systems that consume mass quantities of things we all need. I asked Grok if AI was smart enough to do better...

"The Bigger Picture: AI is smart enough to help craft better systems—it's already doing so through optimization, simulation, and innovation pipelines. But AI doesn't set policy, choose locations, or override profit incentives. Real sustainability requires:Regulation and local oversight. Continued R&D investment. Broader shifts (e.g., more edge computing, workload efficiency, or even cultural restraint on endless digital expansion).

Your skepticism is valid: relying on ever-more-infrastructure to solve infrastructure problems risks deeper lock-in. But the trajectory shows meaningful movement toward less wasteful designs. If AI delivers on promised breakthroughs (e.g., in energy tech or materials), it could tip the balance positively. The question is whether we apply it wisely enough, soon enough."

Her ego has to be so pleased. If her presidential campaign ever becomes a thing, the humiliation will be epic and neverending.

I actually just today started using my Spooky2 machine, both on our cat, and on my daughter and myself. The fellow who resurrected Rife's work was from NZ, and he went to China to have them made. I was rather intimidated by all the information available as well as the technology, but Grok talked me through it step by step. I have great hopes... EDIT: It was too late for us. We couldn't save our cat.

Grok: Key Topics Covered (from title, description, and partial transcript):

Late announcement and rushed preparations;

The visit was announced very late (only days before), with last-minute changes.

Shift in focus: Originally trade-heavy (the "3 B's" — Boeings, beans, beef — vs. "3 T's" — tariffs, technology, Taiwan), but reportedly pivoted toward the Iran crisis, energy security, and the Strait of Hormuz.

Massive U.S. security buildup: Record number of C-17 transport planes (around 12 vs. 2 in 2017), over 1,000 tons of cargo, large convoys of U.S. vehicles/Secret Service in Beijing — unusual optics for a state visit.

Xi's personal involvement: Why Xi is accompanying Trump extensively (e.g., to the Temple of Heaven) and rumors of a highly private one-on-one meeting. Insider signals: Possible hidden agendas, Beijing's internal politics, and how this visit might reveal tensions or Xi's position.

Broader context on U.S.-China relations, Taiwan, trade, and global flashpoints.

The tone is analytical with a skeptical/insider-Chinese-perspective flavor, common for this channel. It includes clips of U.S. planes and security in Beijing, plus references to other videos and promotions (e.g., Shen Yun tickets).

That's my life, actually. A secret weapon becomes a target if exposed. Better to be an anonymous gifter, imo. It's certainly possible to use technology and still choose options that allow the least amount of notice. Being unremarkable is a great disguise.
