Well I missed the other day. Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella says it's time to put the brakes on AI hype gizmodo.com/microsofts-s...

Israel's Defence Minister proudly taking responsibility for the ethnic cleansing of 40,000 people in the West Bank.

1/2 D Trump, P Hegseth, E Musk among them, have: -Around nine marriages (count varies) -Multiple out-of-wedlock children; -Multiple sexual-misconduct accusations, cash settlements, at least one jury verdict; -Zero time in uniform (Trump, Musk). Iraq/Afgh for Hegseth. Yesterday they fired ....

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

When was the last time a chairman of the joint chiefs was fired? Seriously.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Cuba is an interesting one

The thing about guardrails is that part of their function is to deter people from driving straight at them with the pedal to the floor.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

What if what the things they got done are classified? What if they work at a remote post with limited access to email? What if they’re stuck on the space station?

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

DOGE’s accounting of its “savings” is riddled with sloppy mistakes. The five largest cuts that it listed on its website earlier this week were all incorrect — making the savings look far larger than they were in reality.

Such a powerful piece of writing… One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad is an urgent and necessary reckoning about what it means to live in the West today This is a book for everyone who wants something better #SIGNED copies: www.foxlanebooks.co.uk/product-page...

OK, some #MaritimeHistory associated with this artwork, if anyone is interested. It depicts the J-class yachts Astra and Shamrock V sailing in Dovercourt Bay off Harwich (with The Naze in the background) in 1931. 1/

It’s the illegal parking jackpot: A Cybertruck, idling with nobody inside, in front of a fire hydrant, with a paper license plate that expired 10 days ago.

If any Hugo Awards voters enjoyed Lower Decks, it would be very cool to get a nod! Thank you for your consideration. This is our entire campaign. 🖖

VOTE FOR LOWER DECKS for the Hugo! (Mike has a phaser set to kill trained on me. Please help!)

Just been standing outside a bar in Rome next to some young priests having a drink and a smoke and a gossip. Big Westminster pub in the run up to an election vibe. Like The Thick of It x Conclave

That’s rich, coming from the guy who used his power as a federal judge to start making (at least) interns and clerks sign nondisclosure agreeements because he was afraid of being outed as a sexual harasser.

Fictional villains: my motivation involves a complex backstory around lost love and a deep yearning to be understood Real life villains: being cruel makes me feel like a big strong man

American Pundits: It was an exuberant and controversial gesture of uncertain significance… Actual Fascists: It’s a Nazi salute.

The Romans who were pretty good at the war thing said: para bellum, prepare for war. Which the EU hasn’t and won’t.

In non-WW3 news went to see the NTLive Importance of Being Earnest (out now as cinema) and it was JOYOUS. If anyone is in need of cheering up a bit. www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/productions/...

i find it comforting on a deep emotional level that Bruce Campbell sized up our present political moment and decided to become an anti-AI activist

a reminder: if you are on a federal grand jury, there is no probable cause. if you are on a federal jury, the defendant is innocent.

Maybe if the Republican Party stopped criming so much, they wouldn’t get such a big share of the investigating?

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

The crowd booed loudly when Trump recognized the CEO of Pfizer at a Black History Month event at the White House

If Trump and his gang aren't bound by the law nor the constitution, why are you? Currently the system of checks and balances is being destroyed at a speed that would have launched most countries into riots or open revolt. This is a constitutional crisis and your constitution isn't doing so well.
