Bless the French southwest, where you can show up in mom jeans and oversized Star Wars hoodies and no one will bat an eye

Had to doublecheck the date on this

One: you first, please. Two: it does not do anything with information that a conscious system would necessarily have to do. Such as a continuous feedback loop with internal information. They pick a seed value, then pass that value through a pre-weighted unchanging mesh to emulate a likely answer.

we don’t need to understand the complexities of human consciousness to understand that the generative language model is not conscious

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

California’s leaders take pride in some of the US’s toughest workplace safety laws. Yet thousands of underage workers, often the children of undocumented immigrants, help power its $60bn agricultural industry.

Update: Sarah Afzul, the woman's sister, told me that Naqvi has been released from a detention facility in Wisconsin, where she was transferred overnight and they've been reunited with her

Took out some of the photos from my camera from the first couple days in Dubai. Sadly I left my little disposable Kodak there.

I've visited that place and honestly it's the absolute weirdest thing

Victims in our countries seldom get profiled and humanised in Western media. This is a portrait of a life cut short. What a tragedy. "Saleh Ahmed (55) lived in the UAE as an expat for 25 years, sending under £500 per month in earnings to Bangladesh for his wife and four children."

this is why i'm not coming back, green card or no, lol.

there's just not going to be enough rooms in prison for war crimes after this

I feel like I'm going to throat punch the next person who tells me "Looool I mean c'mon honeymoon in Dubai wasn't the best idea" Bitch I was going to the Maldives

Currently recovering from our ✌️ honeymoon in a war zone ✌️ episode in the southwest and found one of my old tshirts at my in laws’ house and the current mood is definitely Space Molotov

Iran had a diffuse series of power structures at the best of times. This is not the best of times. You can have a president call for peace and an IRGC seeking to blow up Dubai airport all at once.

Help I am being insulted by my watch for getting back to running.

Call me crazy, but I firmly believe that if all your life, your privileges and physical separation have shielded you from having to consider the needs and wants of people outside your socioëconomic class, you are not going to make a good leader to your people.

So, are the people who in 2023/24 drove their Childcrusher 5000 GTX* to the most expensive gas station in the county & posted photos of how much it cost to fill their 50-gallon** tank going to be doing the same thing on coming weeks and months? I mean, this time it actually is the president’s fault

In a civilized world, Pete Hegseth would have long ago taken an "honourable exit". Long may he live to carry the shame of this. Ideally in a prison cell.

Me: “It’s going to rain and I haven’t done cardio in a while and I’m in a shit mental state” Also me: okay I’m going for a run My knee:

I can absolutely not choose 9

A rough beast? Slouching toward Jerusalem? In this economy?

Jesus….

ICYMI, meta glasses labeling contractors are watching people having sex

I couldn't listen to stressful music for days, but tonight it's time for some Muse

This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.

I'm at the old world dying / I'm at the new world struggling to be born / I'm at the ccccccccccombination old world dying and new world struggling to be born

We should never ever forget why they did it

do i think people at anthropic think claude is people? wouldn’t surprise me. but polymarket is a casino trying to cosplay as the news to thwart the regulation it warrants

me doomscrolling gulfnews, AJ and KhaleejTimes even though I've left Dubai 2 days ago

every time i see a photo of palmer luckey i get irrationally angry that he decided to call it fucking anduril

Cmon man you can’t look like all the members of Sublime were put in the machine from The Fly together and say this

the absolute shitshow

Its unfortunate but wholly unsurprising that Anduril is staffed by enough nerds to merit a bespoke pre release event.

By morons for morons

More than ever the world needs whimsy and magic, be a magician. If you're an artist or writer, you're already there, everyone else needs to up their whimsy, it's the only way we're going to get through this.

I wish this quote wasn’t still so relevant

Strategy is fundamentally all about developing a sophisticated theory of the mind of one’s opponent. With MAGA’s Iran Adventure, guess we’re going to see what a modern war almost totally devoid of anything we’d call “strategy” looks like.

well at least gas is cheap and he hasn't started any new wars

THIS SPARKS JOY

One thing that's really helped me through this whole thing is seeing my old Twitter community back on here after YEARS not talking to y'all because I ran away from Twitter's craziness. It's grounding somehow. Love to see y'all

so uh the Air France repatriation flight that turned back last night didn't get an alert, or turn away before reaching the UAE the pilot actually -saw the missiles in the sky- and decided to turn back then 🥴 🥴 🥴 🥴 🥴 🥴 www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

I'm so glad I got on Bluesky because I just found out @swiftonsecurity.com is here and now it's full on 2014 twitter in my head

If China bombed a school on a military base in Honolulu and assassinated the president and major Republicans *and also* Schumer, Harris, Sanders, AOC, etc. in the name of No Kings, how exactly do you think that would affect the liberal opposition in America?

"No stupid rules of engagement." — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, March 2, 2026 "The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East." — Reuters, March 5, 2026
