It is RFK Jr.'s defamation case, and the attorney in question is Robert E. Barnes. He has represented the lady who called police on a Birdwatcher of Color, some of the Covington High School students, started on Rittenhouse's team but did not continue, and Alex Jones.Flatpoint High wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2024 10:57 am

Oxford shuts down institute run by Elon Musk-backed philosopher
Nick Bostrom’s Future of Humanity Institute closed this week in what Swedish-born philosopher says was ‘death by bureaucracy’
Nick Robins-Early
Sat 20 Apr 2024 00.46 CEST
Oxford University this week shut down an academic institute run by one of Elon Musk’s favorite philosophers. The Future of Humanity Institute, dedicated to the long-termism movement and other Silicon Valley-endorsed ideas such as effective altruism, closed this week after 19 years of operation. Musk had donated £1m to the FIH in 2015 through a sister organization to research the threat of artificial intelligence. He had also boosted the ideas of its leader for nearly a decade on X, formerly Twitter.
The center was run by Nick Bostrom, a Swedish-born philosopher whose writings about the long-term threat of AI replacing humanity turned him into a celebrity figure among the tech elite and routinely landed him on lists of top global thinkers. OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Tesla chief Musk all wrote blurbs for his 2014 bestselling book Superintelligence.
“Worth reading Superintelligence by Bostrom. We need to be super careful with AI. Potentially more dangerous than nukes,” Musk tweeted in 2014.
Bostrom resigned from Oxford following the institute’s closure, he told the Guardian.
The closure of Bostrom’s center is a further blow to the effective altruism and longtermism movements that the philosopher has spent decades championing, which in recent years have become mired in scandals related to racism, sexual harassment and financial fraud. Bostrom himself issued an apology last year after a decades-old email surfaced in which he claimed “Blacks are more stupid than whites” and used the N-word.

Has anyone else noticed the George Takei seems to have disappeared from Twitter? His account is still there, but does nothing but post cheesy Enquirer-style stories and other obviously mass-produced material. Brad too.
Takei was once a must-follow on Twitter for politics-loving Trekkies, so it's hard not to notice.
Yes, I'm worried that he's not well.

He's 87 and has seen and lived through more shit than most. Let him him be-- all respect.
