this is like sucker punching a guy in a bar and then whining about unfairness when he beats the hell out of you instead of just punching you once in return

Tesla sued after Austin shooting suspect allegedly assaulted co-worker A 65-year-old woman says the automaker ignored warning signs before Ndiaga Diagne, the suspect in Sunday’s mass shooting, assaulted her. She sued Thursday.

the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year

the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter

When The War Goes AI, The Data Centers Will Be Targets (f/Engadget's Devindra Hardawar) We talk Anthropic, OpenAI, Iran and the mil-tech oligarchy. Children will be sent to protect data centers the way their fathers were sent to protect oil fields

One of the things the Iran War is clarifying is that AI integration into the military will mean that your children will be sent to war in the Middle East to protect the data centers of the Gulf and Israel.

Also, here’s a podcast episode where I talk AI, Anthropic & Iran with @devindra.bsky.social:

The Alleged Trump Victim's Claims about Blackmail Are as Important as Her Claims about Rape - emptywheel One day before Jeffrey Epstein suicided, the woman who claimed Donald Trump had abused her told the FBI that Epstein and Trump had spoken about blackmail in front of her.

On the missing Epstein files: It's not JUST that DOJ is still withholding a bunch of pages re allegation he raped a teenager. It's that they only released duplicates (those sent to Ghislaine in discovery), raising questions if the originals still exist.

there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).

the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.

This is what they said about tariffs, too. We must all be willing to endure some short term pain so our dumbass president can implement the policies that will ensure long term pain.

To take this seriously a sec: when your political-economic system allows massive inequality to explode, it creates a class of people who have no material problems but do have the resources & power to make their trivial irritations the central business of politics—at immense material cost to others.

I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.

Susie Wiles sounds the alarm on gas prices White House aides and Cabinet officials are coming under intense pressure to reverse the spike in energy prices caused by the start of the war in the Middle East.

Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours.

Gas prices skyrocketing.

Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month.

Another war in the Middle East.

Are we great again yet?

I am demanding that the Democrats invite Mullin’s accusers to testify about this weirdo behavior in painstaking detail.

I want charts. Expert witnesses. Reenactments.

The White House position is that it is no big deal that Putin is helping Iran try to kill US soldiers.

Always remember rule #1. Putin can do no wrong in Trump’s eyes.

Wonder why that is?

There is nothing Christan or biblical about that. Let's just call this guy a white nationalist, because that's what he is.
