anthropic: I have made AI

tech nerds: you fucked up a perfectly good computer is what you did. look at it. it's got anxiety

A clip from TrueSizeOf with Afghanistan covering Appalachia, smaller Iraq over parts for Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri and pieces of Mississippi and Louisiana. Iran meanwhile draws high covering all of utah, Colorado and Wyoming and large parts of Idaho, Nevada and New Mexico and chunks of Texas, Oregon and Washington

Iran is substantially larger than Iraq and Afghanistan combined is also probably useful info.

Tech bro oligarch: The AI is... real... sentient.... it's feeling real feelings... we must do everything we can to protect it and give it rights
Also tech bro oligarch: Human females are basically cattle made to push out as many babies as possible, all of which I will neglect

After spending the day talking about college football, Trump heads to Palm Beach for another weekend of golf.

Oh, you naysayers, give me just ONE example of the U.S. sending "a small contingent of U.S. troops that would be used for specific strategic purposes" and it all going downhill from there.

BREAKING:

The Justice Department just posted online three FBI interviews that had been missing from the massive trove of Epstein files initially released.

They're related to unsubstantiated sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump.

Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.

Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)

A Reductress post features a photo of Kristi Noem with the headline, “Kristi Noem Put Down for Being Too Hard to Train”

Desi Lydic Foxsplains the not-war in Iran that Trump didn't start and also already won

What happened after Anthropic rejected an AI military contract

Based on reading one (1) book about Iran and looking at a map of the region I have questions like “what happens if a civil war spurs a refugee crisis spilling over into Pakistan? Could that trigger a coup in a country with nukes? How would India react to that? What about Israel?”

Imagine for one second if Biden had pardoned an AntiFa guy who went on to rape so many kids that he’s being sentence to life in prison.

Fox News and the GOP would be wall to wall to wall.

Instead, this happens with a Jan 6er and it will not be reported on cable news or mentioned by Democrats.

$1.5T defense budget
$170B on ICE & Border Patrol
$100B on tax cuts for the 1%
$20B from Treasury for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$300M on Kristi Noem's jets
$100M+ for Trump to golf
$75k+ for Kash Patel's Olympic trip

And now $50B in emergency funding for war in Iran?

Priorities.

KAMLAGER-DOVE: At any point in your tenure at DHS, have you had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski?

NOEM: You're peddling tabloid garbage

K: You should be able to answer if someone asks if a federal official is sleeping with their subordinate

NOEM: It's garbage

K: It's about your judgment

Montana's Gianforte Pleads Guilty, Won't Serve Jail Time In Assault On Journalist The representative-elect was given a six-month deferred sentence after pleading guilty to assaulting a Guardian reporter. He also was sentenced to community service and anger management counseling.

Where are the fathers of these broken men? What's going on in their homes that led them to this life of violence? Has society been coddling them? That's what I want to know.

polymarket should be beyond illegal. all involved in its creation and upkeep deserve agony for the rest of their days

Moulton: He ought to think about the war that he didn't go to. That he allowed another American to go to in his place when he dodged the draft, making up some excuse about a sore foot so that he didn't go have to go serve in Vietnam. There is an example of a war where we sought regime change

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

"I had to punch that guy because I could tell he was going to hit me back once we jumped him" is just a description of jumping a guy

Video proves otherwise, puppy killer

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?

NOEM: Yes

WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?

NOEM: No.

sorry i didn’t text you back; i clicked “close all tabs” in my brain and forgot everything i’ve ever known

CNN put together a montage of the regime's incoherent talking points about Trump's war on Iran

*laughs in "years of Benghazi hearings"*

Trump with German Chancellor Merz next to him: "My father was born -- he knows all about my father -- my father was born there. These are places you automatically feel warmly about."

Dr. Manhattan meme with the US constantly entering new wars of choice.

Literally made this on Saturday morning

yeah so the 2024 election was narrowly won by a guy running on a platform of cheaper prices and no new wars who then immediately decided to raise everybody's prices and start the biggest new war of the past twenty years

Our goals are clear: total and lasting peace no matter how many people we have to kill.

Iran must not develop weapons that can harm the US or its allies which they already have and are planning to use against us forcing us to stop them from developing them.
