Just to be clear, the president specifically promised Genocide for 8PM tonight.

There is a business thing called the McKinsey 9-box matrix. If an industry is good, and you have an advantage, pour money in. It doesn’t care if there is more money to be made. It requires growth, even at the cost of financial mismanagement and business suicide. We are all stuck in this box.
“Trump orders creation of national eligible voters list.”
Well I’m convinced there is no way this ends in fascism.
If I fail, I fail, and we try again tomorrow.
Can we just make bots pretending to be humans illegal?
Kristi Noemore.
Apparently it’s now a “radical left woke” position to not want domestic surveillance of all Americans and fully autonomous killbots. Which means Trump thinks the Right wants AI surveillance of all Americans and AI Killbots. Is he right?
So hearing things in a way that’s accessible to everyone and having people onstage that represent you is important. Huh. I hear you, conservative America.
How far we’ve fallen that calling for a full and fair investigation of a murder that has multiple witnesses and video recordings from multiple angles is controversial.
An illegal parking spot is just a parking spot for people who can afford the ticket.
That’s this administration’s approach to all laws.
“Let us invade your country or we’ll tax ourselves!”
Someone who knew when the invasion of Venezuela would happen made $400,000 betting on it. Would the invasion have been stopped, or happened on a safer day, if they didn’t have money on it? Letting people bet on everything is a bad idea.
@warren.senate.gov Can we introduce a bill in the Senate ASAP to not go to war with Europe over Greenland? This has gotten incredibly dangerous.
Out of respect for colleagues involved, I don’t have an answer for you. Zoe did write a book which I hear is good. But when it happens to people you know, and you’re chatting with them at meet-ups… it just felt insulting to then go read what some unrelated person felt about it, you know?
What I love about AI is it has finally convinced companies that we can do a much faster, better job if they finally invest in basic tooling like we’ve been asking for years. The downside, is somehow the answer is always a language model.
We could just have a searchable work an RSS feed.
Oh good, T**** is trying to add 600 Billion dollars to the Department of War budget. I can't imagine what for.
Just sitting here bracing.
What the absolute fuck did we just do?
This is your yearly reminder that it’s cheaper to house the homeless than to keep them homeless and pay for the police and health services that consumes. Jesus and Adam Smith would both house the homeless for completely opposite reasons.
This is the AI that has control over the navigation systems in your car.
The Military Law of War manual specifically refers to orders to fire upon the shipwrecked as a war crime that is “clearly illegal.” And if not refused, everyone is guilty of war crimes.
This isn’t open for interpretation. This is in the manual, rule 18.3.2.1.

I love how certain police officers, people paid by the public to support the public irrespective of ability to pay, are complaining that Mamdani is a socialist. Like, Honey, what do you think you do?
I always thought raving would lead to a life of lascivious hedonism, but really it just led to a life of listening to audiobooks at 2x.
'I think we're just gonna kill people' - a man who didn’t win a Nobel Peace Prize.
It’s not problem 1 right now but Trump promising not to tear down the White House, then breaking a bunch of laws to tear down the White House, is just such a metaphor.
Cost to hire a movie extra: $200. People at the No-Kings rally: 7 Million. Cost if the rally were full of paid actors: $1.4 Billion.
Is it more likely that someone spent $1.4 Billion to secretly hire 1% of the US, or that many people see something going seriously wrong with our country?
I know there aren’t a lot of conservatives who follow me. But just in case there are: If what Trump does becomes too much, you can impeach / remove him and still control the government. You would not be giving up the presidency. You would be deciding on a better but still conservative president.
