Is it not obvious that **humans** are the problem here? It is humans who want to use AI for mass surveillance. Humans that want to dominate their competitors. Humans who can think of nothing but money. As Walt Kelly said, we have met the enemy, and he (of course, he) is us.

Mike Johnson was "taken aback" by the Pope commenting on war and advocating for peace, but not by Trump cosplaying as Jesus.

You can't make this stuff up.

What about genes associated with neurocognitive variants, like psychopathy as a correlate of political power? Look at the picture - this kind of backbreaking work was not what humans as a species signed up for, until a variant arose that could make the rest of us do it.

Newly-Elected Hungarian PM Says Orbán Was Paying CPAC, Calls It a ‘Crime’ That ‘Will Have to Be Investigated’ Péter Magyar, the Hungarian Prime Minister-Elect, announced that outgoing Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's government had been paying CPAC, but he would put an immediate end to that -- and even went so f...

So Orban was using Hungarian state money to fund the US Conservative Political Action Conference. Orban called himself Putin's "mouse." I suppose that makes CPAC Putin's mouse too. Putin's MAGA mouse. Lovely.

Meet the NM Republican insider cashing in on ICE contracts and private prison ties (UPDATED) In 2025, CSI Aviation went from $364 million to $1.2 billion in revenue, making it the #1 ICE contractor, $500M ahead of private prison operator GEO Group.

Allen Weh is a former NM GOP Chair, US Senate candidate, and billionaire. He gave more than $204K to Trump’s re-election in 2024, shortly before receiving a no bid ICE contract: progressnownm.org/meet-the-nm...

After so many serious discussions about this paradox with physicists, mathematicians, and philosophers, I can’t help but find this cartoon absolutely hilarious.

Everyone but Trump Understands What He’s Done Allied leaders know that any positive gesture they make will count for nothing.

“Trump does not think strategically. Nor does he think historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. He does not think about how his behavior in one place will change the behavior of other people in other places.”

Ask yourself why Donald Trump doesn't want you to vote: He doesn't want to be held accountable for raising prices, for an illegal war, or for hiding the Epstein files.

New Mexico will always fight for free and fair elections – and make sure every person who is eligible can vote.

New research shows that artificial intelligence (AI) models overly affirm and validate users, even when users propose harmful or illegal actions. The resulting effect on users is notable: Receiving advice from affirming AI made people more self-centered and less able to see the perspectives of others. Yet people prefer the overly affirming AI, which may further promote this behavior in AI models.

In a world full of bad news, New Mexico is setting a different standard.

But accountability doesn’t stop here.

Our kids are facing new and evolving threats. It’s on us to be intentional, and ready to act, and to hold billionaires and corporations accountable.

That’s why I’m running for Governor.
