there was also a Stanford study that found that a surge in AI slop by lazy people actually created significantly more work for others who had to decipher and correct it

this "I'm being efficient" (but not really) vibes well with the American obsession with artifice and appearing productive

this will never pass, everyone involved know it will never pass, and you shouldn't give authoritarians like Josh Hawley antitrust credibility they never had to actually earn

Yesterday, a lot of folks clocked this as market manipulation by screenshot and backspace.

Looks like someone in the White House made billions.

Iran doesn't have to deploy any mines in the Strait of Hormuz.

All they have to do is say they did.

As I type the UK is generating less than 15% of our electricity from fossil fuels.

Imagine how the Iran oil crisis would be playing out for the UK if we hadn't invested in renewables.

It's not "we can't afford net zero" it's "we can only afford net zero". It's now a national security imperative.

This is not the first time Binance and CZ have flipped out about news coverage for being less than flattering. He sued Forbes as well as the Chinese publisher of Bloomberg BusinessWeek for articles that weren't flattering enough

...with the intensity of hundreds of drones per week over the capital alone.

The situation in the Persian Gulf is a mirror of Europe’s future - one the EU fundamentally does not want to look at.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian troops have liberated most of the occupied parts of the Dnipropetrovsk...

Ukraine has regained more territory than at any time since 2023 and this moment is the exact moment when Trump decides to drop sanctions on russian oil, the profits of which putin will use directly for attacking Ukraine further.

You can have the best armed forces in the history of the world, but if you are an incompetent criminal without a plan, you can still lose a war, and rather quickly.

Bush on why he quit golf during the war: “I didn’t want some mom whose son may have died to see the commander-in-chief playing golf. I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best I can. And I think playing golf during a war sends the wrong signal.”

There are signals from various sources that Russia knows it is going to lose in its illegal invasion of Ukraine. We must prevent Donald Trump from assisting Vladimir Putin any further with one of his bullshit deals. Keep the pressure on.
