Always has been? (according to maximalist gnostic scholars)
Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.
OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…
“Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”
I hear what you’re saying. But - and perhaps I’m just being instrumental here - as long as there are rich people, I would prefer that they were broadly on our side vs theirs. I see no choice but to block with the nationalist bourgeoisie to remove Trump.
there are fully legitimate liberals, and even social Democrats, amongst the wealthy. I do not believe that they are just “hiding” their interest in race science. There are political differences inside of all classes.
I swear, money makes people boring 90% of the time - and the other 10% it makes them embrace the dumbest, most toxic shit.

“Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei had wanted stronger guarantees the Pentagon would not use its AI technology for deadly autonomous weapons or mass domestic surveillance.” The DOD has

a lot of it's covered in the book, but basically a bunch of people living in SF in the 1980s were important to discovering & publicizing Mason + making "Siege" into a book..
if anyone has any freelance or (remote) staff opportunities, plz DM! can do writing, fact-checking, research, copy editing, book indexing, org consulting on outreach & reenvisioning, event planning & other similar such things...
I saw that! BTW I have an article about the Mason connection to the Bay Area coming out on that same platform, the Gazetteer SF, this month
Oh, well you should do that!! I meant I was just joking about the “ missed my moment” part … I wish I had…
it was a joke... this Mason stan just got sentenced to Life in prison yesterday...
thanks!
it really sucks that the history book i wrote about James Mason became irrelevant by the time it was published. oh well, sometimes you miss your moment i guess.
The US also has intelligence suggesting that China may be preparing to provide Iran with financial assistance, spare parts and missile components, three people familiar with the matter said, though Beijing has stayed out of the war up until now. China relies heavily on Iranian oil and has reportedly been pressuring Tehran to allow safe passage for vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.
uh china is preparing to do what now edition.cnn.com/2026/03/06/p...
A frightening thing about the right's expansion is the spread of openly fascist messaging across an incredibly diverse online landscape. This can be seen by tracking the # “Revolt Against the Modern World,” a book written by Julius Evola in 1934. (More relevant now than when I wrote it 3/4/23.) 🧵
Yes, I’m not saying she didn’t have some weird political views at times
V good thread
no I’m not giving any more IRL talks unless somebody specifically invites me
Hopefully, in a few days I’m gonna announce a couple online lectures, by donation. They’ll be pretty similar to the Boise ones.
the older i get, the more i understand how much Grace Lee Boggs was a really interesting person. it's hard to put my finger on exactly why, tho - which is probably part of it anyway.
WTF?
