The White House has helped MAGA influencers escape the Middle East on a private jet while more than a million ordinary Americans are still trapped with no way out.

we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping

This plus the (semi)-autonomous formalization of the sphere-packing result and a few other examples seem to indicate LLMs are now genuinely capable of helping out at the frontiers of math.

Crypto is only important electorally because the industry's strategy is to strategically flood races with PAC spending on ads completely unrelated to crypto. Government surveys have repeatedly shown that very few people own crypto (and even fewer care about it as an issue).

Pulled together a list of journalists in the ever-expanding war zone or covering the war (via beats like the State Department, Defense Department, UN, etc.) -- bsky.app/profile/did:...

Has any of them ever talked this way about any other president? I am on record as saying the 00s were worse ideologically but conformity was expressed as supporting the troops, the flag, the homeland--not one specific guy.

Instagram is the global vehicle for middle class consumption and what Dubai proposes is "what if Instagram were real?"

The news is awful but at least we get Mayor Pete back in his prime posting style: coming on once a day to say "War is defined as a conflict between two, or more, nations. It is often marked by violent disagreement. And speaking of in wars, soldiers are the word for what we call who fight in them."

Not sure who said it on here but the Israeli practice of "mowing the grass" is now the standard mode of military engagement since multilateral diplomacy is gay. One reason that the slaughter in Gaza resonated globally is the recognition that there are many Gazas and they're making more all the time.

Whoah Sting looks so bad since jumping into AEW

Making jokes about homeless people panhandling with their cashapp name on a sign is not funny to me. Bitch they’re keeping up with the times now send them $1 or get tf on.

Such a privilege to visit the WGSS seminar with Michelle Rowley, the only colleague of mine for whom I'm a certified fanboy

thank you, somebody said it, i always want to cry a little when I read ”AI” = ”GPT”

Grateful to the journal of East Asian Science, Technology and Society for asking me to review Jeffrey Ding's excellent new book Technology and the Rise of Great Powers. I use it to discuss AI development not as an inter-national scientific 'race,' but an intra-national financial struggle.

Data centers are everywhere these days, so what better time to announce that @melhogan.bsky.social, @dustinedwards.bsky.social and I are expanding our #CriticalDataCenterStudies article into a book at @routledgebooks.bsky.social! Here’s our article for a teaser: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

If you know Mark Warner, you know this is a pretty serious statement. He is EXTREMELY level-headed and doesn’t make hyperbolic statements. He is from a state with a bunch of military contractors too. If he is mad about this, then imagine how mad everyone else is.

If you're cool and you live in Kensington, MD or the bottom of Silver Spring / Chevy Chase (basically Einstein HS but a little bit of BCC turf) then I'd like to talk to you.

Mystery Solved! Turns out it is "Webinar.tv" whose disgusting and unethical business model is: register for a zoom call under a fake name and email address, record it without consent and put it on a public website with genAI summary and everyone's names and faces and then charge for access. WTAF.

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

"Relentlessly lethal" is the kind of phrase you get from asking ChatGPT to "keep making [the letter] braver"

The next time a conservative critic tells you about bureaucratic accretion in higher ed, remind them that TX A&M's board instituted a policy that required the university to review the content 5,400 courses that in many cases required 3 and 4-levels of administrative review.

Wall to wall coverage if this happened under Biden. Sad!

Raytheon Executive: I know you’re skeptical about buying American again. But hear me out. The MIM-104 Patriot is the only surface to air missile system with a proven track record of success against the US Air Force. Danish Defense Minister: Continue.

a thing that doesn't really get enough discussion about platner is that, even if you assume the latter here is true (and i do), it's going to make him strongly susceptible to malign influences if he gets elected to the senate; the framework to think about him isn't fetterman, it's gabbard

We live in a world in which its entirely possible that Iran negotiations failed because people involved bet the under.

Yes they really sincerely believe they're raising gifted, precocious children. This colors everything from how they think about "personas" (which may or may not exist) to who they hire to what contracts they seek

This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.
