Believe it or not, the pratfall into Orwell isn’t the most disturbing thing about this.

Two things here.

One, you don't sit there and whine about media coverage and headlines if things are going well.

Two, the administration is just outright saying that they fully expect Ellison to use CNN to be a Trumpist propaganda organ.

I was told by the man with his “hand on the wheel” that there weren’t any more targets in Iran to bomb.

So what are you wasting our money to bomb now?

You know, leave the country and marry for money.

No distractions.
Just meetings, task forces, review boards, denouncement rituals.

I took my mother to a medical appointment on Wednesday and before going in we were asked if we'd been to Lancaster County (PA) lately - the office was screening for measles.

What that viral Anthropic jobs chart really means Unpicking a much-discussed plot

Super decoding from @jburnmurdoch.ft.com & @sarahoconnorft.ft.com of That Chart. Sarah sees it as a Rorschach test for how people feel about AI. John says the real value is from Anthropic estimating actual AI usage across tasks, and says we should reason from actual data

Figure 2: Theoretical capability and observed exposure by occupational category This figure shows the share of job tasks that LLMs could theoretically perform (blue area and our own job coverage measure derived from usage data (red area).

Eye catching chart from Anthropic. The blue area shows job tasks that LLMs could theoretically do, and the red bit shows what they are doing. White collar roles such as legal, finance, computing are most at risk of automation. Bartenders and cooks can’t be automated!

Rescuers respond to deadly tornadoes without tornado-tracking tool because Kristi Noem’s team hasn’t renewed the contract | CNN Politics As deadly tornadoes tore through the Midwest and Plains last weekend, state and local search-and-rescue crews rushed to the devastated areas to look for survivors. It wasn’t until the teams deployed t...

There are so many ways this government is making people less safe. This one is going to cost lives over a $200,000 contract not being renewed.

Iran says it will only accept a ceasefire with international guarantees for its sovereignty, which would probably mean a direct role for Russia and China. It may also demand compensation for war damages and a verifiable ceasefire in Lebanon. The US would then have to agree to some form of the nuclear deal it left on the table in Geneva in February and commit to lifting sanctions. Iran's leaders entered this war with the goal of ensuring it will be the last one. Either it breaks them or radically changes the country's circumstances. They are betting on surviving long enough and squeezing the global economy hard enough to realise that goal.

Very interesting piece by Vali Nasr on what Iran wants.

I haven’t seen a single statement that the White House is outraged that they accidentally killed 165 kids

This is (for the global economy) the bearish view on Iranian strategy.

CENTCOM:

Ok. So you’re hearing it too.

This is true. Staff is very friendly.

Why is no one ever thanking me for helping them out like this?

If your halyard is slapping in a marina. You’re a bad person with no redeeming value. And you should feel very bad about it until you are eaten by a whale or a squid.

Lololololololololololololololol

SpaceX just paid like $250B for this POS that now has to be rebooted.

Gemini, what’s the most in over their heads it’s possible for a single person to be?

My theory of social-economic justice is that all superyachts should be allowed. But they should be taxed at an aggressive, punitive and arbitrary level based on a. Committee of Citizens that I elect.

This boat should be legal. But should have a 400% tax.

This place is basically a real-life version of Abed’s Chicken finger restaurant in Community

Trump in his high school dress uniform

lol now the chickenhawk is posting photos of himself dressed up in his high school uniform to pretend he served

This is a lie.

The US is a net importer of crude oil.

While the US is the world’s largest crude oil producer, it still imports large volumes.

Eg: In 2023–2024, the US imported roughly 6–7 million barrels/day of crude while exporting around 4 million barrels/day, making it a net crude importer.

This is only an interesting story once it becomes “consumers are sticking up banks to pay for GLP-1” drugs.

Probably the greatest recipient of the Admin’s Genius Grant of all time.

Is she more flexible?
