Not only did they absolutely beg for this, they made it so that “merit” was synonymous with being white so now you’re stuck with precisely the kind of moron who believes that. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

He made it fun by saying he would stop posting for one min for every dollar donated. It was hilarious & showed more self-awareness than I previously thought he had. People were donating a lot on this site to simultaneously get him to shut up & support him which seems like a phenomenon unique to him.

Make no mistake here. This is Trump objectively taking the side of Iran, a nation we are currently at war with, over the Americans in Minnesota because he hates the governor and the fact that a majority of voters there did not vote for him

Hassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."

2/3 "Teaching robots to navigate the real world by watching people play games is an emerging AI technique using video footage and button-press logs from human gameplay. This lets algorithms learn spatial awareness, movement choices, and goal-directed paths w/o expensive physical data collection."

I had assumed they were tapping into reserves - most estimates put them at six to nine months worth - but observable levels not going down is *really weird*. They've got to be doing backdoor buying from Iran in some way we're not seeing or tracking, I think.

The German government is working on a plan on what to do if regions vote in extreme-right AFD governments which may not allow NATO troop movements or may otherwise want to impede defence policies and Russia deterrence. www.n-tv.de/politik/Sorg...

My year undergrad class paper found Montreal and Minneapolis comparable metros had almost identical homeless/1000. The two cities are more similar than most imagine, but it is striking how alike policy failures were

a Claude Opus 4.7-tier model is something you can use for free via Opencode??? that's fuckin' nuts buddy

(And if you think upstate New York is exempt from that whole conversation, it took an armed revolt 2 decades before the Civil War to get the Hudson Valley out of a literal feudalism situation.) (Alexander Hamilton was SUPER involved in keeping feudalism legal in the US. It's a fun rabbit hole!)

I think my ideal society would be lots of overlapping wildly unalike communities that are politically and socially free to be so different that they often don't like or trust each other. The last thing I want is a single inspiring vision.

Tennessee GOP candidate says he will outlaw Muslims and all non-Christians, by which he is referencing his church, where they believe God speaks to them through snakes. people.com/tennessee-go...

LinkedIn added an "AI slop" button. The U-Turn is happening, expect to see a lot more of this from other tech companies.

Let me tell you, having chronicled Pentagon-style war game on attacking Iran nearly 25 yr ago, every single "surprise," "darkening turn," "narrowing option," spreading warfare," "rising casualties," "no easy exit," etc that comes drip-by-drip is EXACTLY why GHWB WJC GWB OBAMA BiDEN did NOT do this
