The new NYT poll finds Trump 17 points underwater on immigration, and the nonwhite and young voters who went to Trump in 2024 have snapped back to Dems

It's almost as if 2024 might not have represented a seismic cultural realignment on immigration after all, despite 1,000 NYT op eds to the contrary

Iran is under an internet blackout. Iranian protestors aren’t seeing Trump’s posts (who knows how many usually would, but they aren’t now). This message isn’t for them.

A show of pretend toughness for Iran regime change advocates, and pretend concern while violently repressing protestors at home.

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

In hindsight, it’s been the story of the last election, much more than Sleepy Joe, economic woes or plain racism.

What to know about Trump's executive order to curtail state AI regulations President Donald Trump is pressuring states to stop regulating artificial intelligence in a new executive order.

There’s not much to know: Big Tech literally bought this administration, and now it is making sure that no rules — or rights — will be getting in their way.

Make Money Not War: Trump’s Real Plan for Peace in Ukraine The Kremlin pitched the White House on peace through business. To Europe’s dismay, the president and his envoy are on board.

"By dangling multibillion-dollar rare-earth and energy deals, Moscow could reshape the economic map of Europe—while driving a wedge between America and its traditional allies"

Frankie, you’re a legend

As another weekend of Barclay’s Premier League football gets underway, and a massacre is still unfolding in El Fasher, we cannot lose sight of the fact that the same people who are funding the slaughter in Sudan also own Manchester City Football Club.

It is a national disgrace.

OpenAI expects to be profitable in 2029-2030. Some 15 years after starting.

If we consider it the next wave of bit techs, then think of this:

* Google was profitable in year 3
* Facebook (seemingly starting with no monetization idea) was so in year 6

OpenAI? Year 15. Probably. Maybe.

At the Nuremberg trials, Karl Dönitz was convicted of war crimes for the sinking of civilian vessels. This is not a complicated question, it's been illegal for centuries.

iOS 26 is out now and I recommend updating immediately. If it bricks your device you don't have to work today

OTD in 1939 Nazi Germany & USSR exchanged telegrams. USSR wanted info on the Polish army ahead of plans to invade Poland 17th Sep, which were related to Hitler.

The sort of things allies do.

Leningrado 1952, probabile proprio, diciamo

I’m not the first person to make this observation, but this being the biggest story in the world at present really speaks to how much Twitter still serves as a universal assignments editor for English-language journalists.

“Classiche posizioni conservatrici americane”

Incredibile

I was expecting the Reichstag Fire parallel to be made, but I did not expect it to come from the right.

i cannot believe they are expecting us to play along with this "might not be his signature" farce and that a lot of people actually are, i feel like ive lost my goddam mind

This is a fundamental truth that they really really really don’t want to listen to.

Remember, when Sam Altman says shit like "future iterations of GPT will require fusion power" or "we will need to build data centers on the moon" he's not revealing an ambitious roadmap.

He's doing marketing. Putting "OpenAI" and "moon base" in the same sentence is the only goal.

CalendaGPT?

non-zero chance X and TikTok swung the 2024 election; zero chance Bluesky did

OTD in 1939 Nazi Germany staged the Gleiwitz incident. After accusing Poland of ethnic cleansing against his countrymen, Hitler staged a false flag to justify invasion & genocide.

Imagine such bullshit being tolerated today....

How did America lose its democracy? Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.

Puoi dire e fare la qualunque, ma se osi irretire i no vax o difendere la distinzione tra scienza e complotto, allora sei fuori da questo governo

really feels like housing affordability is one of the most important political issues of our time, affecting nearly every aspect of our lives, and everyday our mainstream political discourse is about whether sour cream is woke or not

Yeah, AI is a tool. It can be extremely useful if used correctly. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people don’t know how to use it correctly, and never will given how it’s being marketed.
