Sen. Whitehouse to uncover connections between Trump, Russia, and Epstein. YouTube video by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse

Good speech. Most US press got bamboozled by Bill Barr's scheme. Trump's collusion with Russia was always real, continues to be. www.youtube.com/live/ylvTFvJ...

I care about ballet and opera a lot more than I care about Timothee Chalamet, but I will always maintain a baseline level of respect for a man who convinced the world for like three straight years that the height of glamor is to look like a pixie that's six months late on its Mustang payments

Facebook post from LA Opera telling Timothee Chalamet that their production of Akhenaten is almost sold out.

LA Opera claps back

It just keeps going round and round my head this week

This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.

me: you think somewhere there's a taxidermist who uses a stuffed pig as a piggy bank?

wife: we don't actually have to talk about every thought you have

People Are Calling Meta Ray-Bans "Pervert Glasses" On Bluesky, users quickly embraced the term "pervert glasses" to refer to Meta's Ray Ban smart glasses, following a shocking investigation.

Make it stick.

I have a pop-up Kubla Khan somewhere lol

Predicting a return to reading books. It will be on the frontier of resisting subjection.

Quote from article linked in OP: She was interviewed again by the FBI on Aug. 7, 2019, Aug. 20, 2019 and Oct. 16, 2019.

For reference, Epstein "killed himself" on August 10, 2019. 3 days after the FBI decided she was credible enough to interview a second time.

From last year, results of a collaboration w/ Grant Foster (lead author of new Foster & Rahmstorf paper) comparing modeled & observed warming.

I left the collaboration when Grant, dissatisfied with these findings, insisted instead on introducing an ad hoc method for "removing" natural variability.

OpenAI OSS-Safeguard Classify content against safety policies. Paste a message, get a verdict: PASS, FAIL, or ESCALATE.

Not long ago, OpenAI put out an open source model called Safeguard for “safety classification tasks.” Now that I’m extra pissed, I’m torturing it on my home computer

I put in some scenarios like fraud, explicit threats … you can add. If it’s borderline, watch the stupid toy lose its mind

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

Knowingly bombing an unarmed ship.

"The exercise in question required ships not to carry any ammunition. Normally, the Dena carries various missiles and guns, including anti-ship missiles. Because the U.S. also took part, it would have been aware that the Dena was unarmed."

“As far as we can tell, Safe America Media has no office, no website, and no social media presence.”

Texas Republicans are punishing voters ‘because we can’ Tuesday’s primary descended into chaos for voters in Dallas and Williamson counties.

NEW: Texas has been minority-ruled by conspiracy theorists for years. Tuesday’s primary was a prime example of the ways that a foolish few can block broad electoral access for many. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/texa...

These are the 4 things AI can do well:

•Clean up your email inbox (badly)
•Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
•Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
•Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday

You can see why we need to base our economy around it

My sister knew a guy with a Childcrusher 5000. The, um, cab was smaller than expected.

Still waiting on a motherfucker to tell me how to get to Sesame Street.

'See you in court': Trump and Maine's governor spar over trans athlete order The Maine Principals' Association said it would continue to allow trans girls to compete in school sports, saying President Trump's recent executive order is in conflict with state law.

A year ago Mills told Trump to his face to, effectively, fuck off about this

A whole fish sits next to salt and rice filled barrels, I think. It's got stylized kanji in vertical lines along the side. There are trays of cuts of fish, or vegetables next to the barrels.

I'm craving sushi: let's talk about who *invented it*.

Our story starts in the Mekong River valley: Laos, Cambodia, Thailand.

Locals realize they can preserve river fish in barrels with layers of salt & rice for YEARS, a precaution against drought, famine.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

I would follow you even if you hadn’t used the question marks and quotation marks correctly, but it sure didn’t hurt.

Probably fine, not like "protecting your privacy" is their entire brand or anything

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0
