The primary thing I write about in terms of aviation safety is how long the cascade of events can be prior to an aircraft accident. While failures in the cockpit might exist, they are rarely the first step in what goes wrong. Sometimes the cascade is months or years in the making (i.e. 737 MAX). /1

This is a very important and well written perspective on AI. It is read worthy.

For years, MAGA partisans have employed various tactics to prevent the imminent pain of cognitive dissonance. Now Newsom is forcing them to see what Trump looks like without the distorting force field created by Trump’s showmanship: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This is a very insightful, informative, fair and thought-provoking look at AI from a human and policy perspective. A detailed but important read.

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America. Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

No one knows the Russians the way Ukrainians know Russians. There’s a thousand years of history between them. For hundreds of years, Ukraine has been fending off Russian political and cultural domination.

Every time Musk & Trump boast about their made-up savings numbers, recall that DHS is blowing $200 million in taxpayer funds, at Donald Trump's request, on an ad campaign to praise Donald Trump. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social why are you not posting on here first ? You have some great things to say. You are trying some great things. Yet you post on X where 100pct of the replies are meaningless and hateful. It's not all roses here, but the engagement has depth and real convos happen

Do it

And here’s the part about your bank information. t.co/aE3lnpWbyI

If you’re wondering, here’s the story on the leaked NRO data. t.co/u9fj1i1MDa

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Folks it's time to get in motion. Find your local group. Let's go.

The richest man in the world has taken over the US government and his first order of business is taking revenge for the fall of apartheid in South Africa www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Dear Mexico, Canada, Panama, and Europe: 100 percent tariffs on Tesla.

🚨The Trump admin will kick 300,000+ Venezuelans off of TPS in 60 days, rendering them undocumented and forcing them to lose jobs and stability. Combined with tariffs, this will be another huge blow to the economy; nearly all are working legally now. And another 300,000 will lose status in September!

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad. There’s not.

For all federal employees: Before you are locked out of your systems, ensure you have copies of unclassified performance appraisals, awards & other relevant personnel docs. If you have access to your office, grab your more important personal items sooner rather than later.

Canadian here, ummm Americans…what are you doing? Seriously are y’all in a coma? Why aren’t you taking to the streets? Where is the outrage?! A full on dismantling of your democracy is happening RIGHT NOW. You’re just watching. S Korea and Brazil took care of it in a day. What are you doing?

Fed source to me: “It’s like a bank heist and the bank is America. Not really being hyperbolic to say control of those systems would allow an extremely fast collapse of the economy. Imagine it’s a plumbing system and someone takes a sledgehammer to the central pipe.”

FYI, I was on right after the CEO of X (She left right after her interview )

I was interviewed at CES this morning. We mentioned that consumers will decide whether they want to be on a platform that is “unfiltered free speech “ or “ moderated”. I mentioned that I loved @bsky.app , and spontaneously people started clapping 🔥.
