That one, yes… the Carnegie scientist you don’t want to listen to but know you probably should. There’re more important things to worry about now, but I like that I answered some burning questions.

Maybe I missed something important but, like, uh, the Empire made it incredibly clear that they were screwing Ghor no matter what. *The teeny tiny bit of violence around the demonstration was a cover story for what they were going to do to the Ghor anyway.*

This is not just revisionist history, it's ignorant of reality. Activists didn't leave Twitter because they "thought they would be more effective" somewhere else, they left because Elon made it clear that he would *deliberately undermine their influence." Why make shit up?

Ok, time for a short thread about this paper. My sense over the past six months or so is that chain-of-thought prompting as used in e.g. ChatGPT o.3 improves substantially upon previous systems such as ChatGPT 4.o, at least for certain tasks. But how revolutionary is it?

What a surprise that the flabby white guy gets a gentle arrest after that insane joyride around LA and careening off of cars and bicyclists and people.

In itself it's not the biggest thing but Congress specifically passed a law requiring ICE to allow access to members of Congress because of Trump's antics in the first term. This isn't even norms. It's violating black letter statute law.

I've made this point multiple times before but if Bluesky wants to grow, the things they need aren't opinion pundits but accounts that publish new information. That's breaking news reporters, politicians and stuff like official organization accounts that publish official statements.

So why doesn't @governor.ca.gov just call the Adjutant General and say, "The orders you received from Hegseth were unlawful; please stand down and return to base."
