Sadly...yes. We need an official Project 2029 that's not just lip service.

This will make it nearly impossible for intelligence officials to function going forward. No one will ever trust us. Why would they?

If this doesn't get reported on Fox News, MAGA boomers will have no idea it even happened.

I was so supportive of this app being wonky and middling when I created my profile. I thought the model was interesting. I liked the leadership. And so on.

But if it keeps crashing I'm going to stop using it. That's no way to run a tech company and that's a strong signal for a bad future. Nope.

And he's going to get confirmed anyway.

This very much seems like the person people told me he was around that time.

Per some prosecutors inside of her office, it sounds like she was a horrible manager with absolutely zero communication skills. She wasn't there a lot of the time. I think that ideologically, she's fantastic. But probably not the right gig for her. She didn't deserve the vitriol, that said.

I know enough about that era generally that it was about public pride. Governments at that point were all trying to outdo each other in terms of grandiosity. See also: water towers, court buildings, concert halls, libraries, police stations, and any civic structure. Bragging rights, basically.

Every negative thing I've ever head about Beck is...well, it's not wrong. (FFS!!!!!)

I just want to reiterate that Gardner is (from what I've heard) a very good person who was also a disorganized, terrible leader who just wasn't remotely ready for an administrative job. I hope she finds meaning and structure in her life going forward. She doesn't deserve .01% of the vitriol.

Being one of the highest grossing touring acts of all time I guess?

And it's not my fault if no one in this thread has never danced to the song Holiday at 3 AM. That's on y'all, frankly.

A friend of mine a hundred years ago took a playwriting seminar with the great Paula Vogel. Vogel's advice if you really, really didn't like a play you saw? "Write a revenge play."

So much more valuable to get in the saddle and do the thing than complain about another thing, right?

I really, really wish there had been a captive audience for the conversation I had yesterday with my reasonably nice neighbor last night about why she voted for Trump.

I live in what is arguably the most progressive district in Missouri.

Every leftie in NY and CA needed to hear it.

(Also, HI! Miss you, hope you're well!)

People really, really don't understand abuse. The second I saw the headline without digging into the story at all, my first thought was that she was trying to leave him.

All of the CSAM laws hold up on court. I don't see how this would be any different, honestly.

We've reached the "dumb/bad" AI start up era. I've seen several ads for "AI headshot" apps which has to be the dumbest and least necessary application of AI I've seen yet.

We've had filters on phones for, oh, how long now?

Giving late '00 vibes for sure. Bad ideas w/the right buzzwords attached.

Oh, it would STOMP. You're absolutely correct.

The AI industry (including the social platforms that are building their own frontier models) is not at all prepared for just how bad the lawsuits are going to be. The arrogance on display is insane, let alone the harms.

THANK YOU!!!!

To my former home state of 25 years (and who lived in a district he represented in the House): Don't fuck this up, California. Elect this person.

Most people are victimized by people w/whom we share proximity. It's the people we trust who are most likely to hurt us. Colleagues. Friends. Bosses. Family members. They have the means and opportunity, and so we let our guard down.

We shouldn't have to keep saying this.

Those are the most fucking depressing words I've read all this very day.

Right in its symbolic home state. Bravo.

Hungary's success is due in no small part to influencers. People are engaged maybe in larger numbers than before, but it's more diffuse. All media still matters, you just have to be consistent and patient.

Trump says 4,500-seat arena will be built for UFC fight at White House President Trump detailed new plans for a UFC fight the league is planning on the White House grounds in June. “I’ve been involved in a lot of big events, I have never had an event that …

What an absolute fucking dipshit.

"Read by the dozens" is how I'd define much of my career!

200 more words and it'd make a fantastic op-ed!

YAY LAWSUITS!!!!!!
