Dude wants to kill his own soldiers

Me to Claude: in the Figure you created the robot is rotated, lying on its side, because of the orientation of the 3D model in the raw input .glb file. Could you rotate it and make the robot upright.

Claude: ok, the robot is now upright.

The Figure:

And get a scalable PyTorch `DataLoader` of preprocessed neural recordings and stimulus embeddings.

I'm in this boat. Was against Biden in the primary, viewed him as a stick in the mud. The level of miracles he was able to make happen turned me into more of an optimist about how government can work and how the Democrats can govern. Even now that has not changed.

The White House is completely silent as BBC confirms a consistent pattern of massive financial spikes occurring just minutes before Donald Trump makes market moving announcements.

The administration is facing severe allegations of illegally profiteering off inside knowledge.

Yes, but then the anti-institution people replace the institutions and that's just worse.

I can't help but notice the entire MAHA big brain think tank is literally a straight line to heart disease

I'll take raw milk with a rare steak, two nicotine pouches, and some whiskey. America pew pew bald eagles hamburger wooooooo

That is a straight-up lie and Bernie should be ashamed of ever having said it. No, Bernie, post-WW2 Jewish Brooklyn, however working class, is not the "white working class" of which people speak today.

The last line here is very funny. “Look, after we cause mass unemployment on a level unseen since the Great Depression, I worry there could be a public backlash if it turns we weren’t candid enough about it beforehand”

I will take that bet for anyone who wants to pay me $10million if it comes off. I stake nothing

Right, the countries who actually have a "right" to be at war with Iran are the other Gulf countries Iran started shooting at for being, in any loose sense, American allies.

Yes, it seemingly would.

Note that the blockade as originally announced by Trump (of the strait itself) would have been illegal, but as formulated by the DoD (of Iranian ports), it's a legal act of war.

By contrast, the Iranian 'closure' of the strait is illegal, violating UNCLOS.

I don't make the rules, don't blame me. 🤷‍♂️

read the technological republic and tell me those people should be allowed on social media let alone to run entire government departments by placing themselves as invaluable and irreplaceable military contractors

But it's not enough for things to be bad. Things have to be bad in a way that is communicable via slop on the phones. The medium is the bottleneck the ideas are being forced to squeeze through like dough being made into spaghetti.

It bears repeating that historically, the #1 thing that keeps people alive in hard times and disasters is “the ability to play well with others”

Voting is private. They can just vote for progressives if they want. Nothing is stopping them. Nobody is saying "don't vote for me".
There were literal TV ads illustrating this last season, how they can help their neighbors/themselves by voting. Its almost as if "something else" is stopping them.

I think it's likely the world gets decarbonized via Chinese exports and China makes a lot of money out of it. But a lot of money is a whole lot less than we're paying Putin and the gulf monarchs already, and in the long run everyone will be able to build this cheap enough to avoid Chinese dominance.

By contrast, total oil consumption is $200-300B/month. If China were exporting $200B/month of solar panels they would very quickly saturate the entire world market and decarbonize all electricity production. Renewables are qualitatively different AND vastly cheaper.

I stole this from Facebook, but it's a good illustration of how rape used to be considered cute, even at a time when consensual premarital sex was much more stigmatized.

All time Odd Lots moment is when they had on an Arizona farmer and the exchange went something like this:

Farmer: The existing water rights law is vital to securing food for our country.

Joe: What do you grow?

Farmer: Alfalfa for Japanese racehorses.

‘Simply stop giving millionaires water for literally free’ is one of the most insane sounding but actually serious policy solutions out there

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

Union Now Is America’s New Strike Fund - The American Prospect The new nonprofit will put money directly into the hands of workers so they can fight harder and win bigger.

And the more the culture-war and foundation-funded NPIC blobs eat labor, the more the workforce gets de-unionized, and the more labor *materially* loses its power. prospect.org/2026/04/20/u...

There's something odd going on in progressive spaces, where the further they stray from actual blue collar work, the more they fetishize them w/almost noble savage vibes.

That's the grad-students, not the auto-workers.

There's a war on for your mind.
