Trump is trying to abolish income taxes and replace them with tariffs. The Democrats are handing him this gift on a silver platter.

Each frontier AI model seems to use a little under a year's worth of a square mile of farmland's water to train. I think about this as the country having 4 square miles of farmland sectioned off to grow some of the most popular consumer products in history.

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

Tim Walz offering a positive vision of traditional masculinity and being loathed for it was low key one of the most blackpillling events of the past decade plus.

Kamala Harris introducing legislation to prevent war with Iran is actually worse than Trump going to war with Iran. What we need is for Trump to invade Iran, and then things get really bad so we have the revolution, which is the only way to actually stop Trump from invading Iran

'This place broke something in us': Kids languish in ICE detention long past 20-day court limit The Trump administration has detained more than 900 children β€” including a boy with severe autism β€” for longer than allowed under a decades-old legal settlement.

ICE detained a 9-year-old with severe autism and his mom for more than 80 days.

The boy depends on daily therapy, but at Dilley, those supports vanished.

Unable to understand why they couldn’t go home, he would cry through the night and hit himself, his mother told me.

This, in turn, gets exploited by people who want to lie about how successful they are in media by telling them how they know who is responsible for them not being as successful as the phones say they should be. A nation of rubes transformed into Rush Limbaugh listeners.

I think a big part of the derangement of the average American is that they see people on their phone who are lying about how successful they are, believe that they're telling the truth, and then get mad that they aren't that successful right now.

Bombed Iranian girls school had vivid website and yearslong online presence An Iranian girls school that took a direct hit on the first day of the war had a yearslong online presence, including dozens of photos of the children and their activities, before it was bombed along ...

The girls' school likely destroyed by an American missile had colorful murals *visible from space* as far back as 2018.

needless to say any other country hosting a sporting event would have hosting privileges stripped instantly if their leader said this about any athlete

They've also spent the last decade sewing the belief in the electorate that our country was energy independent and that american gas prices were causally determined by extremely on-the-margins domestic oil & gas decisions like pipeline routing & exploratory well digging in the artic ocean.

And that specifically that the president has immense influence over the price of gas, largely through those very decisions

Additionally, it is not be irrational for Iran to act like a rabid dog, since Trump acts just as irrationally β€” and every other rational actor has to adapt to his impulsivity and the fact that he will act against both of their long-term interests. Iran reasons it’s better to fight fire with fire

Has there been any follow-up about whether the FBI rehired the Iran experts they fired a week before we went to war with fucking Iran?

"a mix between Amelia Bedelia and the guy from Memento" is possibly the greatest description of AI agents we will ever get

There is something darkly comical about vibe coding forcing a bunch of engineers who likely derided engineering management now managing a corral of AI agents that basically act like a mix between Amelia Bedelia and the guy from Memento
