I checked the timestamps, it was exactly 30 minutes from 911 call to police arriving. Some conversation points from the driver: “This road is so dangerous” YES LADY YOU ARE THE PROBLEM, ITS YOU. “You can’t see around this curve at all” YES LADY THATS WHY THEY PAINTED THE DOUBLE YELLOW LINES.

100% not satire www.thebeaverton.com/2025/08/ai-i...

Everything about the $1.8 billion fund is ludicrous but don’t ignore the irony of blue states being forced to pay for bullshit “weaponization” claims as the government is being weaponized against them. Gift link:

Well, he did say briefly

AI makes it harder for humans to trust one another, which makes it harder for humans to work together towards shared ends, which is the greatest gift billionaires could ever give to aspiring authoritarians.

Netanyahu's policy of territorial expansion are unambiguous. Israeli forces have established positions in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria, seizing over 1,000 sq km, the equivalent to roughly 5% of Israel’s 1949 borders, according to FT calculations. www.ft.com/content/1c15...

This does not include land seized by Israel in the West Bank and Gaza

Dov Weissglas explains why Netanyahu's threat to sue the NYT is nothing but bluster. www.haaretz.com/opinion/2026...

Checking the answers means losing the productivity gain

The security guard outside the Islamic Center of San Diego was reportedly shot twice by the two teenaged attackers and was knocked down, he got up and ran back into the mosque and he is being credited with preventing a worse massacre before he was killed. 😫

Future carbon emissions scenarios will be determined by politics. The warming *associated with* those scenarios will be determined by physics. If you fail to acknowledge the fundamental difference between these two things, you're either as dim-witted or dishonest (or both) as Donald Trump.

Here is Elon Musk bragging about how he "accidentally" canceled all Ebola prevention efforts (DOGE never fully restored the canceled contracts)

Ring the bell because for the first time ever: Jim Cramer is stunned silent. Just like the rest of us, he’s seeing the President commit insider trading right in front of our very eyes.

JURY: "Can we recommend that both parties be shot into the Sun?" JUDGE: . . .

U.S. District Judge April Perry just took the bench for today's pretrial conference for the remaining members of the "Broadview Six." Trial is eight days away.

A cabal of cronies, at the order of the president, has just stolen $1.8 billion from the United States. The President has, in essence, shot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue; a crime so blatant none can deny it. What we do next as a nation is up to us.

Donald Trump is a convicted criminal. The Trump administration is a criminal organization. This a direct deal to pay off his criminal co-conspirators. The United States government has been taken over by a criminal gang.

Absolutely horrified at this planned study from my own institution: www.404media.co/researchers-... >>

I simply could not imagine being in congress and staying silent as Trump builds a slush fund of $1.776 (cute right… 1776) billion dollar slush fund for insurrrectionists. What are these people even there for? History will be brutal to them. And their kids will be embarrassed

If you're reading this, my cat and I have boarded a one-way flight out of the United States. The Trump administration wrongfully denied my work permit renewal; after months of demanding that they follow the law, we have run out of legal recourse, and I have no choice but to leave the country. (🧵)

I was in a conversation about lack of ethical behavior at Stanford University today and to make a point I looked something up. The hoover.org is like when the villain in bad crime caper film spends five minutes crowing about all the bad things they have done right before they get their comeuppance.

The Physicians for Measles Caucus in the US Senate is losing its most prominent member, as Republican Bill Cassidy, MD and RFK Jr. confirmer, has lost the primary. Many Republican Senators have violated their oath of office. Bill Cassidy was one of the few to violate the Hippocratic oath as well.

"Long prison sentences are for defendants who hurt people and are likely to do it again." Tina Peters tried to destroy American democracy which has hurt MILLIONS (just ask Renee Goode). She is absolutely CERTAIN to do it again given the chance. You have to acknowledge that @gtconway.bsky.social

If the major academic publishers were contributing anything beyond rent-seeking to academia, they would (a) have been paying someone to do this job from the first sniff of hallucinated references, (b) by now, have the process automated.

This is really horrible. FIFA is horrible. The World Cup cannot leave Dallas soon enough.

Guess whose parents house backs onto that plot of land, and, had it been developed into affordable housing, might have had to share a backyard (with a high fence, I'm sure) with a brown person? Carine Hajjar!

Reviewers should refuse to review, unless they receive a signed statement from the author that ALL references have been checked and validated, and that no genAI was used in the creation of the work.

They think that you’ll just move on after they dodged your question once or twice cause you have limited time. I’m more than happy to spend my entire time getting the answer to my damn question.

I’m only mentioning this because I need more people to understand the pervasiveness of our global far right power grab. Shit is fucked up everywhere. There are dictatorships forming all over the so-called developed world. I often see people saying (even to me) it’s this or that. It’s all of it.

"During a Wednesday presser, Vice President JD Vance was asked whether he shared Trump's view that Americans' deteriorating financial circumstances should not factor into Iran-related policy decisions — and his response was openly dishonest. Shocking, I know." crooksandliars.com/2026/05/jd-v...

That, plus here in Lo-Cal the cheapest tickets for the USA/Paraguay match at SoFi Stadium start at $1,000. What precious knuckleheads would pay that much dough to watch dudes in shorts fake fouls and chase a ball around a field?

Always worth remembering: ChatGPT isn't a tool, it isn't a companion. It's a product -- and everything you type in that box is data you are sending to OpenAI.

GILLIBRAND: How did we bomb 22 schools? COOPER: There's no indication we have G: So how do you explain publicly available information that 22 schools have been hit and multiple hospitals? C: There's no way we can corroborate that G: Have you investigated those claims? C: We have not

Reporters don’t often like to say I hope I’m wrong. We at @zeteo.com put a thing in here stressing that I hope I get owned on this, and that he doesn’t follow thru

Climbing friends, the 2026 Idyllwild Climber's Festival is coming up. I can't make it, but it looks like a great event this year and I hope some of you can go and enjoy the event idyllwildclimbers.org/updates/no-i...

I stand with NY Time Pitchbot. And I think I blocked @benryanwriter a long time ago. And apparently I also blocked @JonHaidt Also, I sort of think Ben Ryan should learn some math. A half million views, an unknown number of which are bots, does not a majority make.

Remember when Trump said what the hell do you have to lose? I do.

When you realize this is in oral arguments, you start to get an accurate sense of his expectation for how the judiciary should service the executive

The problem with "AI" music is the same as it is with "AI" writing, which is at its best it will never be better than totally mediocre. You can't prompt your way into greatness, or even slightly-better-than-mediocreness. au.variety.com/2026/music/n...

by the way, this is also why Toyota should kick Akio's ass to the curb over his pathetic Trump simping... just a terribly short-term decision, at a company built on long-term vision

❗️Zelensky said Russia used 1,567 drones and 56 missiles in mass attacks on May 13-14, with Ukraine downing 94% of drones and 73% of missiles. In Kyiv, 7 people are dead, 39 wounded and nearly 20 remain unaccounted for after a residential section collapsed. #Ukraine

America's chief Middle East negotiator - Jared Kushner - is almost completely dependent on Middle East government investment in his chief business. It's probably the biggest conflict of interest in American diplomatic history and we should be talking about this way more.

Chinese President Xi Jinping warns of “clashes and even conflicts” with the U.S. over Taiwan, cautioning President Trump that tensions over the Beijing-claimed island could jeopardize ties between the world’s two biggest economies.

Jay Sures sure should resign from the UC Regents regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/about/member... You can say that five times fast.

If like me, you purchased a 2026 National Parks Pass, the Sierra Club is now providing free national parks pass repair kits. Downloadable, including repair instructions, here: www.sierraclub.org/national-par...

thank you for noting that - why should his paid-for flack get to define this loser to the reader like it's a non-biased opinion being given?

In fact you could say Peters is cancelling the students with this article

I read this entire article and could not for the life of me figure out why it was news. They picked a speaker, some students wrote a letter saying they don’t like the speaker. This is the sum total of what happened. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/13/u...
