Donald Trump's militarization of our city streets isn't about fighting crime or public safety — it's about consolidating power in his hands. What he plans to do with that, now or during the 2026 elections, should worry all of us.

Jag känner igen mkt av det han skriver om - nyanser man sällan får på annat håll. Jag lär mig mkt också. Alex är född i Odessa & talar ryska & ukrainska.

The State Department is proposing requiring applicants for business and tourist visas to post a bond of up to $15,000 to enter the United States, a move that may make the process unaffordable for many.

All of which is a roundabout way of saying zentropi.ai is now open for everyone! Free tier for testing, enterprise tier includes optimization. We've believed our system could take a 3-month process and reduce it to 3 days. Seeing it proved out with 50 experts? Worth the whole conference. 🧵 9/9

For 17 years working in trust and safety, I've watched talented people burn out on impossible tasks. The problem isn't the people, it's the systems. Traditional moderation requires months of retraining for every policy change. Only big companies can afford it, and even then it works poorly. 🧵 1/9

Epstein’s "little black book" totals 97 pages, containing 1,571 names and roughly 5,000 phone numbers. At least 38 names are mysteriously circled, including Donald Trump's. “I got my hands on a copy,” writes Leland Nally. “I made close to 2,000 phone calls.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Ja. Som nån sa - det behövs inte fler bevis, frågan är varför inte ens Trump blir trodd när han erkänner övergrepp.

Still disturbing, however the two girls in the photo: --Appear to be prepubescent, likely between 9 and 12 years old, not 16. --This contradicts the claim in the post that one of them is Annie Farmer, who was 16 when Epstein flew her to New Mexico.

This is our first time with worms in this situation so we’re really in the dark. I appreciate any advice for how to handle worm frozen stocks when temperatures shift this much!

WORM EMERGENCY!!! Our -80 compressor is failing and we’re not sure what will happen to our worm stocks at the current temp (-45C). They’ve been at this temp for 16 hours and we’re contemplating reviving all strains not currently in use to save them, or move them to a new -80. Anyone have advice??

Över 11 år sen: 🇷🇺 inledde anfallskriget. Över 3 år sen: 🇷🇺växlade upp till storskalig invasion med mål att göra 🇺🇦 till rysk lydstat. Status nu: Attacker varje natt. Dödade civila i 🇺🇦: Över 13 000. Stupade/sårade 🇺🇦-soldater: minst 60 000 resp 400 000. Putin på konferens häromveckan: ”Hela 🇺🇦 är vårt”

Paraden pågår nu med extremt mycket folk! Alla överens om att det känns som fler än förra årets 35 000. Förbudet mot Pride och hotet om övervakningskameror med ansiktsigenkänning har inte skrämt bort folk, utan gjort folk arga. Det är lika mycket en regeringsprotest som en Prideparad.
