As war negotiations stall, Trump is posting about The Apprentice's ratings online.

Hey @thr.com, thanks so much for sharing this. Any way we could get all the typos fixed? You even call our actor Taylor John Smith a ‘she’. Thank you!

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

We live in Hell.

Have been wondering when candidates would start talking about this. One of the biggest corruption scandals is U.S. history playing out in real time.

Kash Patel’s Erratic Behavior Could Cost Him His Job The FBI director has alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences.

Kash Patel’s colleagues are alarmed by what they say is erratic behavior and excessive drinking, Sarah Fitzpatrick reports. More than two dozen people she spoke with described his management failures and conduct that could harm national security.

The Film That Explains Contemporary America The Sorrow and the Pity has lessons for how authoritarianism takes root—and how to fight against it.

A four-hour documentary from 1969 about life in Nazi-occupied France chronicles the way that many ordinary citizens simply lived their lives as if nothing had changed, @dgraham.bsky.social writes. "The Sorrow and the Pity" is more relevant than ever:

A photo of Bill Nye speaking outside of the Capitol

Bill Nye and hundreds of Planetary Society members are heading to DC on Monday to protest the White House's proposal to slash NASA's science budget in half.

I think Charlie Kirk was a terrible influence on society and politics, but even I think this is a mockery of his memory.

Have you met the Dems in Congress? I’m sorry to be negative but they can’t get motivated enough to find a good new lunch spot.

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit

Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here

Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse

A photo of a tray with three sections empty. One has chopped carrot in it. The other has what can only be described as a posit of brown dog vomit and an insole liner of a sneaker (or a used panty liner from the mid 1700s). The kind of meal that would have you happily tossing yourself overboard.

NEW: Growing fears of food shortages on USS Tripoli & other US ships in the Middle East.

This photo is the kind of meals now being served. It was sent by a sailor to her family.

Families are now trying to send food parcels to the ships.

A fair point

But that also means that you could make 10,000 Terminator movies and each time you kill one, they just make another movie and rinse and repeat.

It’s why I actually love the ending of T3 😬

The Terminator that kills John ‘develops a conscience’ and starts helping Sarah. What’s to say that wouldn’t have happened if John died in T2?

As in “Why did our characters go through all this Hell if all the machines had to do was just keep trying”

Agree on Sarah being the hero but absolutely disagree on it being OK to kill John Connor because that decision and the ease with which it happened immediately rendered all other Terminator films utterly pointless

I feel like I say this every day now but I genuinely cannot imagine a more succinct summary of the Trump administration.

Phenomenal.

The only thing more obnoxious than the BITCOIN movie is Bitcoin.
