He Killed for the CIA in Afghanistan. Trump Blames Afghan Culture Instead of Langley’s After the National Guard shooting, the US needs to reckon with how its legacy of global violence inevitably comes home. Stephen Miller wants to do anything but.

"Contrary to Miller and Trump, Lakanwal’s shooting spree is not the result of importing Afghan culture to America. While much will surely be revealed in Lakanwal’s upcoming trial, it looks more like the result of importing American culture to Afghanistan." New from me @zeteo.com

it's a pity I didn't know about this before I spent five years flying back and forth to Cardiff every 3 months

Hello, please see attached. They want to sign on Monday so we have our work cut out for us before then. I have a prior family engagement this weekend, but I’ll be available for update calls 9pm each night. I’ve put time on your calendars for those. Let’s get started.

the knock-on effects are interesting to consider. think about all those tiny airports where data center construction PMs are flying in and out. allegiant is gonna feel like a ford dealership in the bakken in 2014 once the boom goes bust.

I mean the current LLM business model probably collapses under all that regulation, but that's a risk I'm willing to take

lefty messaging around AI should be about specific policy outcomes and not "let's shoot the computer." if you push for affordable homes, reliable and cheap utilities, and actually legislate the specific accountability and IP issues, then you don't have to explicitly take away everyone's new toy.

you just can't have a meaningful conversation about the potential benefits of "AI" while this stuff is happening. it's like trying to talk about how useful an airplane might be during a hijacking

defunctland videos are great because everyone in charge of disneyland for the past half century have been trying to carry out what they think walt would’ve wanted like they’re the patriots in MGS trying to carry out the boss’s will. coincidentally both involve giant robot dinosaurs

gonna brave the stores and get stuff to make dressing. not because I'm cooking for tomorrow– my friends told me not to bring anything– but because I want a bunch of leftover dressing in my fridge

Not only did the White House spend $100k on the drug they give Air Force pilots who need to stay awake for 72 hours, they could have saved a ton of money buying generic modafinil instead!

Hero modder who started the Thomas the Tank Engine meme with Skyrim thumbs his nose at 'legal threats' and 'black vans with the Mattel logo' by modding Thomas into Morrowind: 'I have issues with autho... Choo choo!

"I am incapable of learning lessons whenever it involves corporations, because I fundamentally do not view toy company CEOs or media CEOs as people."

The snowy owls sitting on Montrose Pier this foggy morning. The Chicago Park District has closed the pier’s far end to keep people from getting too close.
