There's no pardon for civil liability.
JUST IN: Democrats have flipped a Trump+9 seat in the New Hampshire House, per reporter Kevin Landrigan.
Republicans outspent Dems by a considerable margin.
This is now the 10th special election flip for Ds in Trump's second term, versus zero for the GOP. sos.tn.gov/elections/20...
Franciscans and Augustinians are fighting for a ticket to March Madness
In fairness every one of them deserves to wear shitty uncomfortable shoes
xAI’s Grok chatbot is powered by unpermitted gas turbines at a Mississippi power plant. Here's how we know.
That this war with Iran is unpopular in a way never before recorded in American history has seen remarkably little attention from the press
A spokesperson for the Social Security Administration, which is still under control by DOGE, denied that a former employee stole data on U.S. citizens. The spokesperson said the Washington Post was “desperate for clicks and eager to publish fake news to scare seniors.” The inspector general’s office; which is independent from the Trump administration, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Thank you @lorenzofb.bsky.social for accurately reporting that the Social Security Administration is *still* under the control of DOGE. This information is needed for the story to make sense.

The truth is not the average of a fact and a lie.
The core revelation here is that Trump has lost the public *on the mass deportations themselves* and not just on ICE's brutal tactics. We have been arguing this for months but media has simply refused to acknowledge it. Now so obvious that it can't be avoided
The College Republicans of America have named Kai Schwemmer as the organization's political director. Schwemmer is an avowed and overt supporter of racist antisemitic white nationalist Nick Fuentes. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...
Honestly, I am absolutely disgusted by academics suggesting that AI can do the reading and writing for you. At a certain point, what you're bragging about is fraud. And in a broader sense, what you're contributing to is the erosion of knowledge and the destruction of trust in academic publishing.
You want to know how you can tell that Anthropic aren't the good guys here?
They literally named the "Department of War" as the defendant.
Even DOD concedes that it's just a "secondary" name and the real name is the Department of Defense.
Anthropic is still trying to stay on Trump's good side.
I talked to dozens of experts in government, academia, cybersecurity, and industry about exactly this scenario last year and not only did not one of them think I was being alarmist, many brought it up unprompted and many said there was zero chance it hadn’t already happened
I say this for every merger because all media consolidation is pointless layoff producing anti-consumer bullshit, but this shitshow is going to be something SPECIAL
A Saudi Arabian arms company has signed a deal to buy Ukrainian-made interceptor missiles; Ukrainian forces struck a plant in Russia's Bryansk region that manufactures control systems for Russian missiles; and more.
The moment John Roberts became an accessory to the biggest theft of Americans' data in history www.npr.org/2025/06/06/n...
We should have been giving Ukraine deep strike capabilities to target Russian weapon production since day 1. Excellent work here by Ukrainian drone and missile units
Consent is not opt-out. True consent is informed, it is opt-in (many say freely or enthusiastically), and it must be revokable.
Claude cannot actually feel, it can't think, it doesn't have opinions, it isn't self aware, it doesn't have context outside the immediate window you are using it with. By asking for its comment on war crimes you are legitimizing the idea that it can be used autonomously or for war at all. Stop it.
Ukrainian forces have pushed Russian troops out of most occupied areas in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast after several weeks of counterattacks along the section of the front where Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts meet.
Why isn’t Elizabeth Warren the Senate Minority Leader?
Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
MS NOW confirms: Far-right activist Ed Martin is facing an ethics investigation from the D.C. Bar.
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel — the enforcement arm for the local DC Bar — alleges that Martin violated ethics rules in early 2025 by making threats against Georgetown University Law Center.
The “AI productivity” grifters focus so much on academia (students and faculty) because it is a technology originally designed for cheating and fraud. If you never read papers or design your own studies, you aren’t a researcher. If you don’t write your own work, you aren’t a student. You’re a fake.
Competition for this year's Fell For It Again awards is going to be fierce.
In a field as competitive as frontier AI, this feedback loop if allowed to persist could result in harm well beyond the immediate consequences of the government's actions. Training and serving frontier-level models like Claude requires extraordinary computational resources. Anthropic has already spent over $10 billion on model training and inference (serving the model to end users) and expects to spend many billions more in the coming years. Although the company has generated substantial revenue since entering the commercial market exceeding $5 billion to date—it has nonetheless had to raise more than $60 billion in outside capital to fund its operations. Anthropic has raised this capital by issuing investors equity stakes in the company.
Based on their lawsuit filed against the DoD, Anthropic appears to be admitting that reports about its revenue and costs are fake, saying its revenue to date “exceeds $5bn” and training/inference “over $10bn.” Previous reports said $4.5bn.

Once again, EA has chosen to do a layoff *during GDC*. This is especially cruel for people away from home to attend the conference.
The minor consolation is that they're among friends. Normally this would also mean good networking opportunities, but the industry is going through it right now. 💔
Hey wouldja look at that—Current Affairs has a new, voluntarily recognized union!
Update: Rep. Joaquin Castro, a Dem, has facilitated release of teenaged #mariachi musicians after their GOP Rep., Monica DeLaCruz (a 47 supporter) failed to get them out of detention. DeLaCruz put a target on the teens by inviting them to DC
