It is completely insane that they are putting people's names into their paid product as "experts" without their knowledge. And Grammarly's response is to say people can OPT OUT?? There's not even a definitive list to see if you're on it.

Two white nationalists I exposed in a recent article showed up to try to intimidate me in person last night.

This is a press freedom issue.

Here’s what happened:

Israel has closed off all routes into Gaza, continuing their program of extermination even as war with Iran looms. Please give what you can to help my friend Sama'a and her family.

A reminder that the people in charge are in a death cult where they believe a war in the middle eastβ€”and the destrucruin of Isrealβ€”will lead to the second coming of Jesus.

They are deliberatly trying to destroy the world for this belief

Statement from Rep. Ilhan Omar on Trump’s Illegal War on Iran

β€œPresident Trump is unilaterally dragging this nation into an illegal and unjustified war with Iran without congressional authorization, without a clear objective, and without any imminent threat to the United States. This is a reckless abuse of power that puts both innocent civilians and American lives on the line for a conflict the American people do not want. 

β€œAs someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know that bombs do not build peace or create stability. Military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions and push the region further into chaos. When we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction.

This is the devastating human toll of another regime-change war. Already, children and families are paying with their lives. There is no moral or strategic justification for this bloodshed.

β€œThe American people are exhausted by endless wars built on false promises and paid for with American and foreign lives. Congress must reassert its constitutional authority. We must vote immediately on the War Powers resolution authored by Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie. This unlawful operation must end immediately."

Im 38 and have never known a day in my life where the dems and republicans weren't salivating at the chance to bomb Iran. The amount of lies and propaganda we've been fed for decades was always going culminate into this.

Solidarity with the people of Iran forever.

Sam Altman tweet:

Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network.

In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome.

AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems.  The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement.

We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only.

We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements.

We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

Brooklyn Public Library ends passport services after State Department order β€’ Brooklyn Paper Last fall, the U.S. Department of State sent cease-and-desist letters to hundreds of nonprofit libraries across the country, telling them they were no longer

So right when the regime is pushing to require ID like passports to be able to vote, they're limiting the places where you can get passports.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

Portrait of Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks, an empty space carved out of the side of his face revealing the chevron patterns of the Black Lodge. One white pupil of Dale's doppelganger peering out his right eye. A marble sculpture mirroring those in the Black Lodge floats in front of him, hands contorted to make the eerie gestures of Laura Palmer, torso pierced with a sprig of Rosemary, and covered with a cassette tape from Diane. Rest in peace Dave Lynch, you were fucking giant.

The rise of rejection sensitive dysphoria: β€˜My chest feels like it’s collapsing’ It makes rejection, teasing or criticism feel unbearable, often prompting a strong physical reaction. Sufferers describe life with a condition that is only just starting to be understood

A very good piece on rejection-sensitive dysphoria, a subset of ADHD that can be debilitating. Despite popular belief, it’s a thing!

It really is fascinating how overt it now is that there are certain - really not controversial - ideas that you aren’t allowed to say on television.
