A remarkably refined shot from Artemis II pure visual perfection!

In 1989, Orban rose to fame with speech at Heroes Square leading a youth movement calling for democracy & for the Russians to leave Hungary. Last night, thousands of youth gathered at Heroes square chanting “Russians go home” about Orban & his Putin serving, autocratic regime. Things go full circle

Best delivery ever!! Physical galleys!

Societies autocratize in phases. This would never happen in Russia today. Too many have died under mysterious circumstances or rotted in jail. Hungarians are trying to keep the door of democracy jammed open. Orban win would slam it shut and usher in the next, likely very harsh, phase.

Brave people.

There hasn’t been exciting space-based activity for like 12 hours, let’s get going here people.

Science is good. We should fund it.

This was better in the original North Korean

This is an amazing story.

This is powerful. All the more so given that Orban has minced no words that the regime is keeping tabs of who is speaking out, who is reporting freely, who is advocating for opposition candidate Peter Magyar and a sweeping crackdown is expected if Orban manages to win.

Courage happens in numbers!

men can’t understand what it’s like for women to see story after story after story of women being victims of sexual violence in a culture where it’s routine; what it’s like to live in a world that is fundamentally hostile to our existence. it’s a wonder we leave the fucking house, let alone thrive.

One narrative thread that runs though this moment in American life is a sense of inevitability. That idea animates public discourse on AI data centers, concentration camps, even authoritarian rule. But it’s a dark magic illusion. Nothing is inevitable. The sooner we realize that, the better.

The last years have revealed a Jewish politics that is profoundly narrow-minded - that sees every political question as a choice of survival or domination. That’s a tragic misread of Jewish history. We have never worshipped power at the cost of allowing a hard shell calcifying around our hearts.

Some Democrats think we should talk less about human rights violations and attacks on the Constitution. I think that’s a mistake.

Serious question. Colleges erupted against a war the US was helping to supply weapons for. Now that our government *itself* is waging an unpopular war, where are the giant campus protests? Where are the occupations of buildings?

Boston Globe mock front page from April 9, 2016. Date says April 9, 2017, with giant headline “DEPORTATIONS TO BEGIN” and “Markets sink as trade war looms.”

Ten years ago today, in April 2016, the Boston Globe printed a satirical front page imagining a future Trump administration. The page was called "alarmist," "hyperbolic," "dystopian." But we’ve put up with so much since then it now looks like . . . a slow Thursday?

Story time:

Today I got an email from a "book coach and ghostwriter" saying he'd read about my upcoming lecture on AI and ignorance at Harvard and thought it'd make a great book.

Except I have no such talk coming up and, actually, haven't ever given any talk or written any article with that name🧵🧵

Analysis Finds That Google's AI Overviews Are Providing Misinformation at a Scale Possibly Unprecedented in the History of Human Civilization A new analysis commissioned by The New York Times suggests that Google's AI Overviews are wrong an astonishing percentage of the time.

This is catastrophic.

Starting to think that pretty much any Democrat who promises not to post on social media more than once a week could get a solid 54% of the vote in 2028.

so far in hungary, Vance has stumped for a kleptocratic dictator, regurgitated putinist propaganda, and is now indulging the gutter racism of his hosts. it really is an unvarnished look at what the ideological character of the trump regime is.

….should we invest?!
