I’m not sure I’ve ever seen something so simultaneously absurd and disturbing: the House will vote Monday on a bill that would punish Americans for participating in boycotts of Israel with fines of up to $1 MILLION or prison terms up to TWENTY YEARS.

The Constitution forbids bribery *3 separate times*. So important to the Founders they included two emoluments clauses, and made it the only named impeachable offense besides treason. The Constitution is clear on banning bribery. It's just that Congress and the courts decided to pretend otherwise.

OpenAI published "Expanding on what we missed with sycophancy" detailing how their April 25th GPT-4o update resulted in a model that became noticeably more sycophantic, aiming to please users through flattery, validating doubts, fueling anger, urging impulsive actions, ...

for my birthday my dear 404 Media cofounders got me a smart picture frame and loaded it with AI slop, incredibly thoughtful gift

Bilandelene i Oslo kommune går ned med 2 prosentpoeng i året. Det er vanvittig raskt. Nå er andelen daglige reiser med bil 18 prosent. I 2022 var den 22.

NEW: The Trump admin has been examining whether it can label some suspected cartel and gang members inside the US as “enemy combatants” as a way to detain them more easily and limit due process. DoD lawyers are concerned; legal experts say it’s baseless. www.cnn.com/2025/05/02/p...

Every Republican Senator except Mitch McConnell voted for this.

Your regular reminder that NSF grants built the internet and helped the U.S. dominate tech.

The Fuhrer wants a Nuremberg style parade on his birthday.

"Øye-eplene var vekk. Hjernen var tatt ut. Strupehodet var fjernet. Det gjør det svært vanskelig å fastslå nøyaktig dødsårsak." Dette er altså Russlands "de-nazifisering", "frigjøringkamp", og "kamp mot USA/Nato aggresjon". www.aftenposten.no/verden/i/Xj2...

Apparently an Israeli company has forked Signal client and added features to retain messages for compliance. As someone else just said to me: what could go wrong? www.404media.co/mike-waltz-a...

Tysklands etterretningsorganisasjon BfV (omtrent som Norske PST) har konkludert med at landets nest største parti (AfD) er: "et parti som strider mot grunnleggende prinsipper i grunnloven, deriblant menneskeverd, en rettsstat og demokratiske prinsipper" www.aftenposten.no/verden/i/GyA...

Jeg begynner å lure på om det er biler/billister som er farlige - ikke syklister? 🤔

Climate wasn't the main issue on Canadians' mind. But they chose a climate leader. With Trump, trade and security top of mind, can Carney use climate action as a way to address some of those challenges? I talked to @daniellebochove.bsky.social to find out. Listen: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This is a widely inaccurate & dangerous mischaracterization. The vaccine was developed in fetal cells obtained from two elective abortions in the early 1960s. There is not abortion debris floating around in the vaccine. And the Vatican has okayed its use. RFK Jr. is again spreading disinformation.

This exchange is so very telling. Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this: "I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

Were it not for the heroic efforts of Trump in his first 100 days, 1 in 3 Americans would be dead.

Men blir han sittende som leder i Fellesforbundet? www.nrk.no/nyheter/eggu...

Først nå ser jeg at Jørn Eggum er gift - og har vært det mens han har hatt et forhold til en tillitsvalgt. Da skjønner jeg hvorfor Eggum og Fellesforundet har forsøkt å _tvinge_ den tillitsvalgte til å skrive under på en avtale med taushetsklausuler.

litt spessiellt i Avisa Oslo med daglige saker om folk som er "redd for å bli påkjørt av syklister", samtidig som vi har nesten daglige saker av folk FAKTISK har blitt påkjørt av bil mens de syklet...

Satellite analysis reveals Australian coal mines emit 40% more methane than reported 🛰️ And the gap could be even greater, as the analysis covered just 80% of 🇦🇺's black coal production. ember-energy.org/lat...

Så seg ikke om når han gjorde en forbikjøring, skylder på andre? Sykkelvei er en vei for syklister, trafikkreglene gjelder. Du skal faktisk se deg for og gjøre tegn. På Frognerstranda må man se seg for, selv om det «bare» går i 30-40km/t. www.nab.no/joakim-46-bl...

Altså, det er i hvert fall tre grunner som HVER FOR SEG er nok til at ingen om både er ærlig og har et gram vett i behold kan ha tillit til Jørn Eggum. 1: Det seksuelle forholdet han utnyttet posisjonen sin til å inngå, gjør at han ikke kan få tillit.>>
