A DIALOGUE WITH A.I. ~ A TREATISE ON USA REPUBLICAN [AUTHORITARIAN] STRATEGY

The Republican Strategy, Key Players, Timeline, Likely Outcome, and How We Should Respond

EARTH DATE: DECEMBER 13, 2025

What started with a single question about the proliferation of anti-vax conspiracy theories, resulted in a life-changing discussion with A.I. about our future. My future.

On December 12th, my 65th birthday, I announced I was stepping away from my online political life. After nearly 12 years and over 100,000 posts trying to educate and inform about the threats facing American…

PNM GOVT:

"T&T leads yet again in an emerging developmental matrix i.e, broadband connectivity. This is a side of digital transformation that is casually overlooked. Dare we suggest that there are parts of the US even that does enjoy such high download speeds consistently?"

YES YOU DARE SAY.

We know for a fact that there are parts of the USA that have little or no connectivity and even if they do it is terribly unstable and/or outdated.

Trinidad & Tobago Independence Day 2024

Today’s Doodle celebrates Trinidad and Tobago Independence Day! On this day in 1962, Trinidad and Tobago declared independence from Britain, and the national flag was hoisted for the first time.

The twin-island Caribbean nation was one of the first in the region to gain independence from Britain and many festivities take place annually to commemorate the occasion. Several parades make their way across the country with the largest one marching through Queen’s Park Savannah. People line the streets as military forces escort the president in a vibrant procession accompanied by lively drums and overhead planes.

Fetes (parties) and other outdoor performances come alive as Trinbagonians groove along to the melodies of the local genres of music known as soca and calypso.

In the evening, a National Awards ceremony is held where local heroes are honored for their contributions to the country. The night transforms into daylight as fireworks illuminate the sky to bring the celebrations to an end.

Happy Independence Day, Trinidad and Tobago!

ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, is proposing a change that could streamline the way you access your home’s internal network. That means, instead of using the 192.168.x.x address to configure your router, you’d just need to type .internal.

As pointed out by The Register, ICANN’s Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) first identified a need to reserve a top-level domain for private networks in 2020 — but not necessarily to make it easier to connect to your router.

The SSAC wants the new .internal string to prevent private domain-naming schemes from clashing with other networks. Currently, the SSAC says the “informal use of top-level domains,” such as the .dlink domain used by the networking company D-Link, has “the potential to conflict with the root zone, or other designated purposes.”

ICANN initially considered a total of 35 different strings but eventually settled on two choices: “.internal” or “.private.” The organization ultimately went with .internal, as it found .private “may carry the unintended imputation of privacy to a higher degree.” We don’t know how exactly you’d structure the .internal domain to configure your router or other devices on your home’s network just yet, but more details are bound to emerge in the coming weeks.

For now, though, you can still expect to access your router through the 192.168.x.x address. ICANN is taking comments from the public and will decide how to proceed from there.
