Opposing the Abrahamic axis is the Islamic coalition, an attempt to counterbalance led by Saudi Arabia, alongside Turkey, Pakistan, Qatar, and—more cautiously—Egypt.

In a 2018 interview with GQ, Azaria commented on replacing Collins as Moe, saying that he did not find out until years later that he had replaced another actor. Azaria said that when he asked why he had replaced Collins, he was told by Matt Groening, "He (Collins) was great... He was just a dick. His voice was great, he was just kind of jerky to everyone." Azaria continued, "Think about how awful—that guy could have been on The Simpsons his whole life. Lesson to you kids: Always be nice!"[6]

Transformers and G. I. Joe producer Flint Dille details having to regularly bail Collins out of jail while working on the Sunbow cartoons in his book Gamesmaster: My Life in the '80s Geek Culture Trenches. Dille also recounts Collins showing up at his door years later, explaining that he was in a twelve-step recovery program and offering a check to reimburse Dille.

Since Koopa wasn't the star of his own animated series, however, Kool Kartoons had to make do with public-domain cartoons from the 1920s and 1930s.

Zerzan appeared interested mainly in the quantity of regulations that AI could produce, not their quality. “We don’t need the perfect rule on XYZ. We don’t even need a very good rule on XYZ,” he said, according to the meeting notes. “We want good enough.” Zerzan added, “We’re flooding the zone.”

Some rule writers have decades of experience. But all that seemed to go ignored by the presenter, attendees said. “It seems wildly irresponsible,” said one, who, like the others, requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.

Did it mean, mused the mainstream media commentariat, that this AI tool, which was mired in outrage and controversy for enabling people to create sexualised images of children, would be empowered to roam freely through all the archives – classified as well as unclassified – of the US war department?

Answer: yes, since it was part of “a transformative artificial intelligence acceleration strategy that will extend our lead in military AI deployment and establish the United States as the world’s undisputed AI-enabled fighting force”, according to a war department press release. “Mandated by President Trump, this acceleration strategy will unleash experimentation, eliminate legacy bureaucratic blockers, and integrate the bleeding edge of frontier AI capabilities across every mission area to usher in an unprecedented era of American military AI dominance.”

A New York Times Siena poll this week found just 36 per cent of voters approved of how ICE was doing its job, while 63 per cent disapproved, including 70 per cent of independent voters. Almost one in five Republicans said ICE had “gone too far”.

The shooting by federal immigration personnel this morning was recorded on video and posted online by witnesses. David Bier, the Cato institute director of immigration studies, shared the distressing video on X. It matched the reported location of the shooting mentioned by officials, and showed a man being wrestled to the ground by several law enforcement officers before being shot several times. At least two officers can be seen with weapons in their hands.

The larger truth is that Andrea Russo’s losing battle with the bureaucracy reflects a system designed from the get-go to discourage applicants. Richard Zeckhauser, a Harvard economist and investment banker, once approvingly dubbed this strategy “the ordeal mechanism.” Complex paperwork, long telephone holds, and short office hours worsen the quality of systems and diminish their accessibility. Fraud is nearly always the pretext. The real point is to discourage take-up, to sabotage the subsidy.
