If the next admin isn't sending Musk and the DOGE incels to the Hague, they don't deserve to run anything.

TRUMP: "I'm gonna fuckin' blow up all the fuckers! I wanna use all the bombs before I die! Helter skelter! Helter skelter! Race war! Race war! Fuck Easter and fuck you, too!" NEWS: "Trump promises to strengthen military in early morning Easter greeting."

it's worth noting that the quote they went out of their way to make look stupid was expressing a reasonable point — a restatement of the long-standing official US policy in fact! — and the quote they clean up and sanitize is expressing a deranged threat of war crimes in an illegal conflict

Niesamowite jak głupie są te sondaże. "Czy chcesz darmowego kucyka?" Jasne. Ale bez pytania czy jesteś gotowy zapłacić za koszty utrzymania kucyka to jest kretynizm wyłącznie pomagający ogłupić ludzi do reszty.

Took me a sec but I knew I recognized that account. Check this out:

JFC. It won't help and is extremely regressive as a measure. You're supposed to be the economically literate party!

This sort of facile populism is really damaging to trust in politics. Most British MPs are highly attuned to the cost of living crisis and challenges faced by their constituents.

Public services are collapsing. Tax-paying businesses that could be funding those services are being left to crash and burn, because our leaders are too scared to hurt the delicate feelings of @BritishBulldog756857 on Twitter. It's ridiculous, horrifying and infuriating in equal measure. 13/18

Hey, I wrote a thing about AI in astrophysics ergosphere.blog/posts/the-ma...

Astronauts on Artemis II finally get Outlook working: *ping* "Hi, How was your launch? Rate us on TrustPilot"

I do sometimes wonder if the average AI people look in the mirror and realise that the plumbing they've been so happily laying is actually on a Death Star. Don't get me wrong, DS was built on theft and run by nazis, but it had potential! It just kinda wasn't used in that good way.

I love how the NASA is clearly not giving the astronauts admin access to their computers so they can't access the manager. I guess the also aren't allowed to delete shortcuts from the desktop. University IT 🤝 NASA IT

This outrage is obviously correct, as the comments were disgusting. Now, we cut live to the Home Secretary and the PM expressing their attitude towards asylum seekers...

We finally got a labor market where "unskilled" workers had market power to demand higher wages... and everyone hated it. That is enormously black-pilling, tbh.

Thomson Reuters, known for the Reuters news agency but is a data broker, powers ICE tools. Includes a system Palantir made for ICE, according to former Palantir employee. DHS sources also believe Thomson Reuters data in ELITE, the ICE tool for targeting neighborhoods www.404media.co/how-thomson-...

The fact that UKG still allows the use of British bases for this shit is absolutely insane and should stop immediately. (It shouldn't have been allowed at all in the first place, but that's gone now).

Not secretly - Hungary and Slovakia openly act as proxies for Russian and Chinese influence in the EU

💯 the best essay about AI in academia yet, bar none

I swear to god, I'm sure one could drive traders to mental breakdown by playing "I got your nose" game with them.

Nothing. My field is pure and innocent like a newborn butterfly.

Yes, that's exactly the regime accountability @ericlipton.nytimes.com promised us.

"Do you know why a shark keeps moving?"

Wonderful thread. I've heard about the railway, but had no idea about the paleontology stuff.

An Unusual Treasure in Lancashire Sometimes the most ordinary churches can contain the most extraordinary things. Such is the case of Christ Church, Walmsley, Lancashire, a church built in 1839. In the south chapel is a 15th-century Netherlandish or North European predella.

Well, after last night’s GBNews debate I no longer need to explain to students the risks of using AI to write papers since Matt G has done us all a favour by having a fever dream meltdown trying to justify it. And to think we thought his contributions to academia were over.

She's gone insane. There's no way to explain this.

I know Schumer is no good leader of the opposition, but sure as hell he can count votes.

This is great news: an immediate ban on political donations in cryptocurrency & a £100k cap on donations from UK citizens abroad. Yes, there's more that needs doing, & the door is left open to crypto in future. But we should celebrate (& applaud) the wins when they come. www.gov.uk/government/n...

I'm stealing this post.

This looks great. Such a beautiful project.

So much of domestic news in the US since last January is just reporting on the consequences of drastic policy shifts reverberating through complex systems with terrible first, second, and third order effects.

Britain is this Newsthump article on repeat.

This article is darkly fascinating as an example of how transphobia infects your entire ideology. The core argument is that we should not believe people when they say they are trans, were sexully abused or have a mental disorder.

Really impressive "this town is too small for both of us" walk.

One of the fascinating aspects of Trump 2.0 has been the way the media elites who engineered his 2024 victory by, basically, **lying** about his plans and fitness for office, seemed to expect that the **reality** of Trump 2.0 would be broadly popular.

At the same time Sen. Warren is supporting a senate candidate who's on record cherishing his war killing.

Destroying ambulances run by a Jewish group does not make you a good person: it makes you an anti-semite. And wanging on about "but Israel" as you seek to defend destroying ambulances run by a Jewish group similarly makes you an anti-semite.

Fun read, but then author is having a friendly chat with straight-up neonazi-level antisemites in the comments, so I'll probably skip the rest of it.

I’ve been resistant to calling Americans/developed world more broadly politicans/voters “decadent”, but like if you keep knocking loadbearing pillars out of your economy for aesthetic reasons because you don’t care about the consequences - then there really isn’t any other word to use for it

Yup. We're fucked-fucked.

The airports are now battlefields

We live in a time of scientific breakthroughs, and are governed by people who aren't sold on gravity.

Great piece and great thread.

Liberal democracy is a special thing, predicated on the sacred, inviolable individual dignity of human beings. Slopulism is a politics that absolves us of any real responsibility. It isn’t just stupid and wrong. It’s offensive

Well, she said she wanted to work woth Trump, she might as well with another neonazi.

Universities have many roles and purposes, but one of the Top 5, since the end of the Second World War, has been to STOP SHIT LIKE THIS HAPPENING. So I guess everyone's failing, here, really.

They said it would take 193 years to clean London’s air. We did it in nine. 💨 London has now met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide air pollution.

But does it make animated rabbit girls more curvy? Because I don't want it otherwise.
