Who says social media isn’t real life? Today I’m flying JetBluesky

Meghan McCain & @MeghanMcCain X.com Fuck right off. Ryan Grim & @ryangrim • 3h It's amazing that Trump can trash Meghan McCain's dad for years but all it takes to win her over is a war on Iran. Truly her father's daughter. He'd be genuinely proud.

Genuine lol

That’s true, gotta count the wins where we can

Being forced to work with LLMs at work is really showing some of the limitations.

Democrats planning to run in November’s midterm elections have been advised not to antagonise pro-AI campaign groups that have amassed more than $300mn to fight for the industry’s priorities. The warnings by top party consultants, corroborated by people close to four different campaigns and party strategists speaking on the condition of anonymity, come despite internal polling for Democrats showing widespread public support for tougher AI rules.

They're calling it the best democracy ever.

They're calling her a fifth place bigot, okay? That's what they're calling her. Because she tied for fifth. I've never been a big fan of her. JK Potter, now there's a good one. Harry's mother.

transphobia is a luxury belief, which is why it’s so prevalent among beltway types who don’t have real problems

Everyone please welcome CBS News Immigration Analyst Viktor Orban.

Incredible.

I think anyone who thinks these models have any real intelligence or reasoning, and aren't just responding with auto-predicted tokens, needs to see shit like this.

it's amazing how basically all previous fiction about AI failed to accurately predict how stupid the reality of it was going to be. and it's also bad because all the previous fiction is part of how we got here. whoops!!!

The Department of State tweets a video of Secretary Marco Rubio. In the video, Rubio says: "Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, Iran had spent that money helping the people of Iran. They would have a much different country."

FactPost News tweets a video of Donald Trump speaking at a podium. In the video he says: "We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things."

hmm

Trump criticizes European allies for not helping fix the damage his war against Iran has caused

It’s actually possible to write headlines that don’t obscure who did what. Thanks, AP.

The marches had no shortage of skeptics. In Oxford, Miss,, Cass Rutledge, a first-year law student at the University of Mississippi, walked through the No Kings protest and around the town square on Saturday and questioned why people thought Mr. Trump was acting like a king. "He is, you know, a duly elected president who won the popular vote and the electoral college in a landslide," Mr. Rutledge said. "And so I'm a little bit confused on how he's acting differently than any other president." He pointed to the stalemate in Congress over the SAVE America Act, the Republican-driven bill to tighten voter identification and registration rules, which Democrats have called an attempt to suppress turnout based on false claims of voting fraud. Mr. Rutledge said that Mr. Trump was "going through the process" to try to get the legislation passed.

The NYT says today’s #NoKings protests had “no shortage of skeptics,” and then quoted exactly one of those skeptics: The chairman of the Ole Miss College Republicans (as of 2025.)

But of course, the Times doesn’t ID him as such. He’s just a Concerned Youth.

I think often of a New York Times photo of a little Iraqi girl tending to her parakeets in a bombed house, probably from 20 years ago now. I will think of this man and his sweet dog often now too. People just want to love what they love, care for their little beings, and instead we do this to them

leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"

US Supreme Court declines to hear dispute over copyrights for AI-generated material The U.S. Supreme Court declined on Monday to take up the ​issue of whether art generated by artificial intelligence can be copyrighted under U.S. law, turning ‌away a case involving a computer scienti...

AI-created art isn't eligible for copyright protection, after the Supreme Court chose not to review a lower court ruling.

In 2022 the Copyright Office said images without “human authorship,” don't qualify for copyright protection — this was affirmed in 2023 by a district court.

Even when they’re trying to be accurate, the New York Times can never quite pull it off. The Constitution doesn’t give Congress the power to “formally” declare war. There’s no alternative “casual” war power. It gives Congress the power “To declare War” period, no fucking formally about it.

A tweet from @AnthropicAI: We’ve identified industrial-scale distillation attacks on our models by DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax. These labs created over 24,000 fraudulent accounts and generated over 16 million exchanges with Claude, extracting its capabilities to train and improve their own models.

Anthropic got its intellectual property stolen?

Oh, gosh.... sorry to hear. That's.... awful?

Donald Trump has turned America into a violent fascist kleptocracy. But the NFL just forced some culturally unfamiliar music upon me. I have never felt more politically homeless.
