Driving from Fresno to Santa Barbara today, we listened in amazement as JOHN YOO—who legitimized torture policy under GWB—was warning about danger, cruelty, illegality of Trump deportations. So amazed we listened to same segment when rebroadcast came on When you have lost John Yoo...

Trump is

Rubio publicly criticizing an ally for cracking down on right-wing extremism. And Germany hitting back. We are in a new world

A prominent lawyer in Washington who defended Hunter Biden against criminal charges has launched a new law firm to represent former government officials and others targeted by the Trump administration.

The olives shall arrive

The underlying paper is a great read, but if you just want the summary, this diagram does a good job. AI model providers are cheating on and overfitting to a benchmark that, while helpful, they know doesn't actually reflect real-world usefulness.

In Reagan's 1980s, America had just 35 undocumented immigrants behind bars. Today, nearly 48,000 sit in squalid detention, many thrown there by a mask-wearing U.S. secret police that smashes homes, cars and violates human rights It's time to abolish ICE. My column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

It's like halitosis, it's an aching need I didn't realize I had

Suddenly, I'm in the market for twelve friends. I would like real ones, please, but I SHALL PAY CASH ON THE BARREL HEAD.

This has to be one of the grimmest Brexit-related charts I’ve seen so far. Every politician that backed it, or grifted a living from it, should be investigated, prosecuted and punished. Severely and painfully.

A foreign intelligence field day.
