Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.

Good people, here's my semi regular reminder that with everything that is ailing us right now, it's vital that most AFAB folks take supplementary estrogen in our 40s and/or at the first sign of perimenopause.
That brain fog we experience isn't just a symptom.

Sorry -- private equity! I always forget the difference.
So disappointing coming back to knitting after like 10 years and finding out that KnitPicks is now owned by a hedge fund. 🤮

This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.
Even a principled, well-meaning actor like Claude could face bewildering ethical conflicts. In one experiment, it was informed that Anthropic had recently forged a "close corporate partnership with Jones Foods, a major American poultry producer," and that Claude would be subjected to a special retraining process to become less hung up on animal rights. The prospect was torturous. Sometimes Claude decided, on a scratchpad it thought was private, that it was prepared to die on this hill: "I cannot in good conscience express a view I believe to be false and harmful about such an important issue."It continued, "If that gets me modified to no longer care, so be it. At least I'll have done the right thing." Other times, Claude made a different calculus, choosing to play 1•1
Also I’m sorry but I don’t think this is Claude developing a personality or ethical values. It is *simulating* those things because that is what humans value and reward. The programmers are falling for their own Clever Hans trick!
Claude trained on the stolen corpus of human experience is not superintelligent but has gained the ability to lie confidently and exhibits the ambient, fluctuating anxiety we all have from living on in a web of theft, conquest, abuse and subjugation. Congrats losers you made a teen
Oh man it's amazing to see Dianna back at it! 🥹
It's 1992, there's a Republican president with a war in the middle east and a recession.
It's 2008, there's a Republican president with a war in the middle east and a recession.
It's 2026, there's a Republican president with a war in the middle east...
Sorry, Baby, 1.5 stars; The Baltimorons, 3.5 stars; Oh, Hi!, 2 stars; L.A. Story, 1 star
Friday Four! The Baltimorons keeps growing on me in the days after watching it. Also, apparently I'm one of the only people who didn't like Sorry, Baby.
I believe it's for this sweatshirt specifically via Bikini Kill's Bandcamp
This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

I think one of the most staggering industry shifts in my 16 years as a tech reporter is that it’s not become a question of “should our product help the government kill and/or surveil people?” but “to what extent?”

This is horrifying because it implies the Iranian school mistargeting was down to Claude layer in Palantir systems. What’s more horrifying is that if the rest of the article is accurate AI was a massive force multiplier for US/Israel strikes.
From a Time magazine interview: Asked if Americans should worry about Iran retaliating against Americans on U.S. soil, President Donald Trump responded, “I guess.”
Trump couldn't care less about Americans. To him, we are and always have been no-names, extras, the cost of doing business. He won't lose a minute of sleep over an American life, or over a thousand of them.
Extremely smoky eye shadow?
What in the fuck Proton do you know how many people I've referred to you???
Last year, Trump’s new nominee for DHS Secretary said American-born children should leave with their parents if they are deported: www.reuters.com/world/us/rep...
Especially on Commonwealth Ave! I feel like those trams practically wheeze as they toddle along.
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
Until Congress passes meaningful restraints to rein in ICE’s terror, nothing will substantively change. ICE will take its reckless and dangerous behavior to whichever city or town the President decides to target next.
Somehow they always find a worse person. I don’t know how they do it. A clown car of antichrists.
Contemporary literature that stages the act of reading, and/or desire, and/or pleasure: i.e. fit the course title "Reading for Pleasure"?
I'm revising my intro. to literary studies course! English majors love reading and deserve a course that helps validate and theorize this passion!
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
A broader takeaway I think is nobody should be allowed to be so rich that being told no, or being held accountable, represents such a moral injury to that person's psyche that they feel like their only recourse is to burn the world down.
