Reading the FT front page story about a Chinese company introducing a battery with a 1500 km range & six minute recharging time & about how two Chinese companies own more than half of the global EV battery market & I am struck by the different realities the US and China occupy. We’ve lost the plot.

i for one am sick and tired of being governed by and subsidizing sparsely populated, poorly educated, culturally backwards, and economically unproductive regions simply because they have more land per person

And “Christian” apparently.

I wholeheartedly support this tactic.

So no Manchester City, no Newcastle, no Arsenal, no Chelsea. Hmmmm.

Imagine if we invested in childcare and health care like we do in war and weapons.

Running to my Kalshi app looking for the Alito “suicide” bet.

The new Scrubs series is some of the best, most gleeful streaming in quite a while. The smile on my face feels good.

The Era of Oligarchy in synopsis.

This would fundamentally change America for the better.

Great, he can rent 300sqft loft in Queens, with no private bathroom, for 10 days.

Finally a graph for our times.

I love Tom, but focusing on getting a woman elected is how we got two Trump terms, so I’m wondering his thoughts on preserving Democracy versus establishing a historical gender marker.

These people voted for Trump and now his decisions are ruining their lives. youtu.be/B7YgiUBUNlk?...

It’s 19:30a in Istanbul, and I have had way too many coffees.

“Protect me from my murder bot!”

One of the great misconceptions of students and AI when it comes to school district policies is the assumption that students are magically going to be expert prompt writers. That the same student who can’t formulate a simple question in a known subject area can suddenly query an AI successfully.

Think of how bad the simulations must have been to put Bessent in a room with a man that Trump despises, to solve a problem that Trump could get rich off of.

It’s Louise

While 4 astronauts are on a historic trip around the moon, Trump is proposing to slash NASA's budget by almost 50%. Everything Trump does undermines the very things that make America great.

Exploit generation is really scary because it potentially turns AI into a scalable, semi-autonomous vulnerability-to-attack pipeline. Where the level of risk becomes dynamically more complex than “AI helps engineers write code.”

Awesome

Clever.

If Peter Thiel no longer feels that Freedom and Democracy are compatible, then which one is he picking?

Not only is the new Scrubs really funny, but the awesome nostalgia I get from the intro jingle is soul warming.

Yeah… I feel this too. Loving your country shouldn’t mean constantly apologizing for what it’s doing.

He means it this time.

SNL Weekend Update used to be one of my favorite things to watch and get a laugh, but now it’s just a sad reminder of the fascist, dystopian time we live in.

This timeline is really getting old.

Trump’s crusade is an American Jihad

Tonight's aurora was pretty extraordinary. Here is a real-time video showing the rapid motion and vivid colors. All I could do while watching this was smile and laugh.. it's a pretty unique feeling seeing the sky move like this. Good night!

Gifford Pinchot in his grave spinning at flywheel speeds.

Under the current 10-year agreement with Israel (2019–2028): • $3.8 billion per year total • $3.3B military aid (FMF) • $0.5B missile defense (Iron Dome, etc.) Can she prevent the agreement from being renewed again?

PRESIDENT: "We should have a national database of all legal US gun owners." CONSERVATIVES: "YOU CAN'T DO THAT! THAT IS UNAMERICAN!! YOU CAN'T TRACK AMERICAN CITIZENS!!! IT'S AGAINST OUR LIBERTY!!!!" PRESIDENT: "We will have a national database of all legal US voters." CONSERVATIVES: [yawn]

Pastries in Oslo are no joke. Encore Kafe & Konditori Oslo is the spot.

Jay Graber not getting the kind of validation she hoped for in her new role.

I think the people who argue against neoliberalism the hardest are those least likely to provide a cogent definition of it.

“It is an AI product, but it’s an AI product that’s very people-focused.” Like Skynet

On a lighter note, one of the things that @bsky.app has taught me unexpectedly is that true Cosplay artists spend an exorbitant amount of money on their craft. I mean like gambling addiction money amounts. Crazy.

It took me a while to settle my anger and realize that this was the truth.

How is Ezra Klein wrong about so many different things and still finding work?

I’m voting for this sign.

Got this from Twitter It's the truth I could not have said it better

Absolutely, the unAmerican entity is the U.S. government in this situation.
