The Trump Administration Is About to Incinerate 500 Tons of Emergency Food Federal workers warned for months that the high-energy biscuits would go to waste.

Christian nations under God do not rip away food from starving kids and burn it

Those who illegally destroyed USAID deserve life in prison

This is what Trump and Musk did to USAID. Same lies, same deadly actions.

(I know many folks who aren’t sold on longtermist EA or AGI EA. This book is not about those topics)

More broadly, it presents the parts of effective altruism that seem robustly true - caring about nonhuman animals, thinking rigorously about the impact of giving and career choice, earning to give. Highly recommended!

This book got me to go vegan 6 years ago!

HAHAHAHA

Donald Trump does seem to have a knack for regularly finding himself in the company of child traffickers…

but the heat behind LLMs came from a genuine fire in terms of ChatGPT adoption

if it were possible for tech oligarchs to generate that much heat by force of will, we'd all be batting away metaverse features right now

but we're not, paradigm shifts don't work that way

Brought to you by the state that bankrupted 3 of Trump’s casinos before it was cool!

Turkmenistan is so morbidly fascinating bc it’s like North Korea but some people somehow do have Internet and you can learn about life there:

$243m/life seems a decent benchmark for Tesla’s CEO to pay the family of every victim of his illegal destruction of USAID

If the US had done this in 2021, hundreds of mothers and fathers would be hugging their kids tonight. Instead they will never again experience such joy because their kids are dead from Trump’s illegal aid cuts.

We're in the pre-PageRank era of GenAI-based search. Concerning for sure but I'd imagine it'll be gone in a few years at most.

I think, in large part due to Will Wilberforce and other members of the Clapham Sect, religion in politics has been net good. If we count non-office holding political actors like Leymah Gbowee, It's been even better.

Here's the WP: digitaleconomy.stanford.edu/app/uploads/...

I've been somewhat skeptical about results that show that the tech sector slowdown was a result of GenAI (e.g. Brynjolfsson, Chandar, and Chen 2025), assuming it was confounded by a post-pandemic return to trends, but this graph has moved me more toward the former view.

The Epstein listers, ICE, and J6 thugs?

Wonder if he’s ever read the thoughts God has about him (Psalm 109:8-16)

Man who helped destroy USAID and burn food for 27,000 starving kids has some thoughts about God. How cute!!!

NBER Digital Economics and AI grad students in front of SIEPR

I had a great time at @nber.org Digital Economics and AI tutorial and meeting. Met a lot of people working on very cool projects!

You would think Palo Alto would have at least as frequent train service as that bastion of technological progress, south Jersey, but no

Even Levada still publishes quarterly Putin approval ratings

Person who was fired here - you should still trust BLS data. The agency is being run by the same dedicated career staff who were running it while I was awaiting confirmation from the Senate. And the staff have made it clear that they are blowing a loud whistle if there is interference.

Also discontinued their amazing jerky!

No mention of that chummy photo with Steve “Trump 2028“ Bannon

Russia’s only high speed train is manufactured in Germany!

Nobel Committee has the opportunity to do the funniest thing

Let’s go!!

Those who illegally destroyed USAID deserve consequences for their actions!
