Let’s be clear. Dodik is not Karadzic. He does not have a fraction of the force available - even w/ Serbia’s support - that Belgrade deployed vs BiH btw 1992-95. While those institutions & groups who would defend BiH have far greater resources available than the ARBiH had even at its peak in 1995.

My @thestar.com column: Doug Ford has found piles of cash for things like $200 cheques, vehicle registration fee cuts and a growing list of bad deals, but just can’t seem to find money to seriously address the province’s homelessness crisis. It’s a choice. www.thestar.com/news/doug-fo...

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Vance saying he wants his half-Indian kids to be tough in the face of racism while rehiring a racist who hates them is a shocking moral failure

In less than three years, the Mavs turned Luka Doncic, Jalen Brunson and Kristaps Porzingis Into Spencer Dinwiddie, Davis Bertans, Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a 2029 first-round pick. Yikes.

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries. They're eventually paid by us at the check out line. The tariffs Trump is unleashing tomorrow on Mexico, Canada, and China — our biggest trading partners — are estimated to cost households an extra $1,250 annually.

Both my kids have relied heavily on special education programs and my wife runs a special education nonprofit, so if you tell me that the Trump assault on special education is just a “distraction” I’m going to block you into the fucking sun.

My friend @garymarcus.bsky.social wrote “the LLM race is an enormously expensive effort to win a race that can no longer be won.” I agree. But I would go even further by suggesting that it’s the wrong race on which such prodigious amounts of time, talent, and attention should be focused.

It would be handy if Blender could save multiple, labelled user profiles that could be switched between, for when multiple artists use the same install in a studio situation. #b3d (pls don't reply with how it can be done manually by overwriting the prefs file in the directory. I know. I KNOW that.)

It’s funny Zuck says “I started building social media to give people a voice” when in fact, he started building social media to publicly rate the hotness of undergrads.

Something stinks on Canada’s largest Reddit forum. It just banned journalist @lukelebrun.ca. His crime? Asking why his scoop on an anti-LGBTQ activist ambushing Trudeau in B.C. was removed. He’s not the first to notice something seriously fishy over there. SUBSCRIBE: rachelgilmore.substack.com
