WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize. “If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

I don't know about you but when I aim for peace between Ukraine and Russia (the most destabilizing actor), I always gripe "not our war" repeatedly, all the while, choosing to get the US directly involved in another conflict of our own creation on another continent www.youtube.com/shorts/WGq8A...

Amending this: covid (studies) are extremely great and valuable but also listen to your body; I have been pushing through severe drowsiness for months until today (when I switched back to Flonase) and feel back to myself again

I've always opposed American attacks on Venezuela and I oppose them now. You don't need sympathy for Maduro to grasp that attacking another country for unclear, shifting rationales without domestic support or a clear plan for the day after won't make us safer.

What do Greenland, Honduras, Venezuela, and Nigeria have in common? The “network state” cabal—which includes Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, & Joe Lonsdale—has been circling them like vultures. 1/

As I understand the timeline, Trump was administered a cognitive exam after authorizing the attack on Venezuela but before it was carried out

Wall Street’s biggest banks made more money financing green projects than they did from working with fossil fuel companies for a fourth straight year, even as they faced ongoing pressure to pull back from the business

Monet once confessed he could never finish a painting—“I stop when I’m tired.” Each canvas was a moment, not a conclusion.

One of the most successful propaganda campaigns of our time is the right-wing claim that liberals dominate the media. The right has pushed this myth for decades on Fox and other outlets. You know about it because RIGHT-WING MEDIA HAVE A HUGE MEGAPHONE. My thread. 1/10 🧵

Poland, Estonia, Ukraine, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Czech, Hungary, Slovakia all bleed for American intrests. America has yet to repay the favor

3/12: Oil used to stabilize everything. Now it doesn’t. Russian crude sells at deep discounts due to Western and kinetic sanctions, and tax revenue per barrel keeps falling. Even when export volumes hold, the state earns far less from each barrel.

Sauron wants to see Frodo succeed.

When basic accountability is seen as political, incompetence and patronage networks reign, and radicalism festers.

I had two ancestors on the Mayflower. Abraham Jaquith came to Boston in 1640. …And then just about every generation after, at least one of my ancestors was an immigrant. Anybody who describes themselves as a “heritage American” is a nativist, racist asshole.

It's annoying to see the hand-wringing over a small number of wealthy people making empty threats to move because of tax increases, when there are actually people leaving desirable places en masse because they can't find affordable places to live

Heat pump geeks and do-it-yourself enthusiasts will love this. A mini-split heat pump that both heats and cools, with a solo DIY install that can be undone and taken with you when you move - including the refrigerant lines (with no leaks). And under $2.5k all in (right @profitgreenly.bsky.social?)!

"In 1,000 days of war, Russia seized less than 1% of Ukraine's territory and failed to achieve its strategic goals." - Finnish President Stubb. He also noted that the Russian economy is stagnating: zero growth, exhausted reserves, high interest rates, and inflation.

This paper link.springer.com/article/10.1... Proves the Ingenia Theorem, which basically brackets the AI learning problem as NP hard. NP hard means that one needs exponentially growing resources to learn more and more things. Scaling is a chimera and we should stop wasting resources on this.
