I feel like running these phone-it-in pieces about what AI can't do is as harmful as running credulous pro-AI hype. This one is exceptionally bad. It's hawking a new book ofc, but the attempt to bring in AI to an architectural mystery is so ridiculously irrelevant it's embarrassing for all involved.

This is YOUR Nation’s Capitol. While Donald Trump is trying to demolish and remodel the White House and other federal buildings—we’re here to say hands off our federal buildings with a new bill this week to protect them. That’s why I introduced the Federal Facilities Protection and Oversight Act.

It's funny that Bari Weiss does in fact know how to manipulate an opinion blog to steer a very thin slice of rich/older/Jewish/professional soft conservatives further right. But she's never worked a day in a newsroom, and has no clue how to do this with hard news and a mass audience.

For those who haven’t had to deal w ICE/CBP kidnapping your neighbors you may not be aware: Feds have taken people from Lowe’s & Menards, & those stores haven’t been great, but Home Deport lets ICE/CBP just wander the aisles taking people. Do not shop at Home Deport.

Fundamental flaw in the notion that Bari Weiss will lead a TV network that will gain mass influence on American conservatism & the Republican Party is that American conservatism & the Republican Party won’t trust an Ivy-educated Jewish Likudnik lesbian.

Bari Weiss to rename the Sunday night CBS news show 47 Minutes

NEW from me: CBS News staffers are warning that Bari Weiss is sparking a "revolt" at 60 Minutes and the network after she spiked a story on CECOT. "Holy fucking dumpster fire," one staffer told me. Also, I have more details on today's 'angry" editorial call www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

This where we are: On Thursday Trump made a multi billion dollar PERSONAL bet on a competing energy source and Monday he straight attempted to cancel potential competition. It's incredible how inured the world has become to his naked corruption.

It's literally incredible that this was leaked within minutes of her saying it lmao

In our district none of the 4th grade boys made the honors program. The district planned to cancel honors & do something for the boys. An attorney quietly explained all the ways they were breaking the law. It was nothing to take something away from the girls in order to help less studious boys.

Tell me again how schools are biased against boys? "Boys at her school shared AI-generated, nude images of her. After a fight, she was the one expelled" apnews.com/article/scho...

lol back when he was the main character du jour he was arguing some insane bullshit about how renewables create induced demand for more energy and thus more fossil fuels. he was posting through it somewhere in these replies

Burgum: "Today we're sending notifications to the 5 large offshore wind projects that are under construction that their leases will be suspended due to national security concerns ... the Dept of War has come back conclusively that these large offshore wind programs create radar interference"

"Hm. Everyone is complaining about high energy prices. We should do something about that."

School District leadership is a serious fucking problem rn and needs nationwide rethinking. This story is an excellent example of it. A superintendent more interested in covering his own ass than protecting a girl.

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

Following the latest employment numbers: "It is time to start asking whether we're in a recession. I'm not going to chime in on that debate, but I am going to give it a name. I'm going to call it an economic slump."

The President said some words last night about the economy. I'll help you figure out which ones were true. youtu.be/xtHjvS9yv5g

There’s a big difference between an economy that’s growing more slowly and one that’s stalled. A stall means job creation barely keeps up with population growth—or not even that. That’s why unemployment is drifting up and folks can feel the ground shifting under them.

“Look, we are at a point where it's totally legitimate for people to ask and to wonder… are we in a recession? That's a moment where the Fed wants to move from being in neutral to maybe tapping its foot on the accelerator a bit, seeing if we can get the economy going.”

"Wage growth is weak. That tells you that the labor market is weak. People aren't finding it easy to go out and find themselves a better job when things aren't looking good."

"It's chaos. It's incompetence. It's tariffs. It's all of the above."

"If I'm sounding more worried to you than I've sounded in months, it's because I am."

October's jobs report looked awful because about 150,000 govt jobs vanished after that Musk 'fork in the road' email. That's a one-time shock. The bigger concern is that even outside October, job growth has slowed across both public and private sectors -- and may even be going backward.

"So the president's claims that prices are falling is nonsense. The president's claim that he stopped inflation is also nonsense." Clear, testable economics beats wishful talking points.

Spent an hour talking about AI, the labor market, the medium run threats to the U.S. economy, our long run prospects, and the art of the perfect hug, with my pals @edels and @profgalloway.com youtu.be/xA9nRaI71dw
