And yet, Trump is his legacy.

a map from 1918 showing the interurban network sprawling across Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio

One side obsession from my research into the 1920s is the extensive network of ELECTRIC trains that used to connect cities and towns across the central Midwest called the Interurban. We had this more than a hundred years ago. The things we had and the things we lost.

Before Interstates, America Got Around on Interurbans At the beginning of the 20th century, a network of electrified “rural trolleys” raced between small towns and cities. Their fate could offer lessons for today’s train boosters.

AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on America’s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175

Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

They're 'ordering'? Is that what they said?

They watched car burn after they were pulled from it so it could be burned, their car was the target, they were apparently free to go after it was set on fire. It's scary enough to be here right now, there's no need to incite more fear.

Sounds like their car was targeted, not them.

“The purpose behind the release of herbicide on the villages remains unclear.”

Israel has been dumping herbicides throughout southern Lebanon as part of a concerted ecocide campaign to render the region uninhabitable. This has been going on for months with Lebanese journalists & environmentalists regularly reporting on it.

The BBC: we don’t know why the Israelis are doing it

He sure does seem to get interviewed a lot for a guy that's not in it for the attention

Fuck this.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement.

"I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish.

Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature.

Not to take away from the larger point... but when exactly did the winning in "Harris won the nomination" happen?

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Voodoo ranger is also a good indicator.

"reasons Gemini thinks it’s inauthentic." I can't believe you guys published those words. Large language models don't think!! They are prediction models not sentient computers.

That viral Reddit post about food delivery apps was an AI scam AI slop comes for Reddit.

This Verge article www.theverge.com/news/855328/...
sites Gemini (Google's 'AI' i guess?) like 4 different times "according to Gemini" x2, "are reasons Gemini thinks" x1, "which Gemini flagged as" x1. AI doesn't 'think'!!! I thought we had all agreed on that!! What the fuck

(Semafor) - The New York Times and Washington Post learned of a secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin Friday night — but held off publishing what they knew to avoid endangering US troops ..
