How it started How it’s going @NikkiHaley edition

Objectively pro-Saddam returns

I’ve often thought I am not smart enough to be a trial lawyer, or a husband, or a father. I have never thought I am not smart enough to be a pundit.

I just learned that Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Khomenei are not the same person. Here's my plan for regime change in Iran....(1/23)

Reading this, again, you get the sense that someone at Anthropic knows how the intel community misleads by using definitions of words that are different than everyone else believes. And the people at OpenAI simply don't know or don't care about that.

While operations are coordinated at a members-only, private beach club — in between fundraisers and parties.

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

she’s such a willing propagandist it’s disgusting

I swear to Christ I think I would vote for a candidate who just used capitalization correctly

The average US foreign policy Serious Thinker^TM

our government combines the impulse control of pete hegseth, the intellectual rigor of rfk jr, and the attention span of donald trump with elon musk’s signature sense of humor

Running your war from a private club for millionaires — ahead of a $1 million-a-plate dinner — is a choice.

It's like everything was created in a lab to be as stupid as possible

The judges in WV have seen enough. They say that if the ICE continues detaining people in ways they have unanimously deemed illegal they will start issuing civil fines and contempt findings — including against state officials who help them carry it out. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

So (1) if you *do* get this reference, do not miss the replies. (2) I almost didn't believe this was real and there was *no* fucking way I was going to do a search while sitting on a plane with kids sitting behind me (3) if you don't get the reference CONSIDER YOURSELF LUCKY.

This is fucking crazy right. Like truly insane. I know this dude is a wacko but this is totally berserker. Epstein raped and trafficked kids and filmed it. There's audio and video.

Surely all the Twitter Files "reporters" will be apoplectic about what the current admin is doing to Anthropic out in the open right

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

JUST IN: Trump orders government agencies to cease using Anthropic's AI tech over the company's refusal to bend safeguards for the military—including refusing to allow Claude to be used for mass surveillance or autonomous drones. Trump threatens to force Anthropic to comply with criminal penalties.

the concept of calling an ai company “far left” because they’re not allowing you to use it to spy on american citizens and implement it into war strategy

this is what they said it would be like under socialism

Kegseth popping the AI bubble would be very funny

Every time he does shit like this (which seems like weekly) I think back to the time (when he was an FCC staffer, not a commissioner) that multiple people told me Carr was smart and reasonable. He knows he's full of shit here. And he still does it. Which makes it that much more pathetic.

It really is incredible how they're just Marie Antoinetteing themselves and don't seem to understand where that leads

This is amazing. www.getyourfuckingmoneyback.com

Cops lie.

The lesson here seems to be that if you want to reserve the freedom not to be evil, don’t do business with the Trump administration.

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close! New: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

Breaking on MS NOW: @alivitali.bsky.social reports the Hillary Clinton deposition has resumed, but that Clinton is asking press be allowed into the room for the rest of the deposition. Comer said NO — despite Lauren Boebert taking photos of Clinton and giving them to a far-right activist.

JUST IN: Advisors to Hillary Clinton say the House Oversight Committee’s closed-door deposition has been paused after it was revealed that Lauren Boebert shared an unauthorized photo from the hearing with Benny Johnson, who then posted it on social media, as seen below.

oh no, whatever will happen to this extremely serious vehicle program

genuinely so funny and depressing that everything from the right is fake and bots. stuff like this reinforces that the rights strategy hinges upon paid lying and misinformation networks

All y'all going to jail

Trump administration tries to deprive poor Minnesotans of health care because brave Minnesotans stood up to them.

This is very good reporting that sheds light on just how small the extremely pro-Trump online right really is. The online right is totally astroturfed. The White House's own staffers are running meme accounts to make them look more popular than they are. www.wired.com/story/a-whit...

Yikes. @navigatorsurvey.bsky.social #SOTU

Woke 2 is going to absolutely bury these people. It is true that in the time between now and Woke 2, they are going to hurt a lot of people, some very badly. There’s no way around that. But then, again, Woke 2 is going to absolutely bury these people.

We live in such a profound dystopia.

aged poorly

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold. The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold. fuelarc.com/evs/its-offi...

It's going to take a lot of effort to disentangle these evil mfers from our institutions but god damnit it must be done

I don't think it's a good thing for society that everything is now gambling

Interesting post about the coordinated anti-AOC smear campaign. It's 2016 again! Fake local news outlets on Facebook getting picked up until eventually it winds up in the Washington Post.
