The precedent that the United States of American can kill or kidnap a rival world leader, at any moment and with no regard for a plan for what comes next, will be used again in less moral situations than this.

Hard not to see the U.S. returning to this precedent again and again.

It's all very bad, and I don't want to take away from that reality when I say this, but we've had an awful lot of "I told you so" moments and I'm tired of not saying that so I'm saying it.

Over time, it has become impossible to casually know the approximate truth of what’s happening in any given current affairs topic.

It’s just not a thing anymore.

(We read them in French, which isn't my strength, so having the joke land a little slowly in my head is a big part of the fun.)

As a dad, I can state definitively that the very best kids' books are about either a group of small animals who blindly follow a firefly in the dark until they all get eaten by a lion, or they're about how a penguin got got by an orca, but it had absolutely nothing to do with that stylish red hat.

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.

Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

There are few things more disorienting than listening to otherwise totally reasonable American podcasters doing an episode on health tech.

Is it genuinely normal to spend that much of your mental energy on this stuff? Really?

Like, this is a normal life experience?

I can't believe the nerve of the person who sent me this in the middle of a Zoom meeting.

The absolute nerve.

To be clear, this team is well behind 2014 and 2002.

2014 is, IMO, the best hockey team ever assembled by a mile.

This team was every bit in the class of 2002, 2010 and 2014. (I’d put it after 2014 and 2002 but ahead of 2010.)

It didn’t have *the look* all tournament, but make no mistake, in that 3rd period they were dominating the most talented US team ever assembled.

And got nothing from it.

It’s subjective, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen best-on-best Canada lose an elimination game when it has *that look*.

And we very much had *that look* in the third.

Hats off to luck, and to Hellebuyck.

This was the game.

Deserves to be a stamp.

Hellebuyck, man. That was incredible.

Greatest goaltending performance in history.

Bar none.

A shot that deserves to be on a U.S. stamp.

Hellebuyck has played the greatest game I have ever seen.

Every bit as dominant as Hasek ‘98.

One of the greatest saves in history.

Beat him clean. Great shot.

Is the one guy who still looks as big as the guys from the giant pad era of the early 2000s.

Hellebuyck is so damn big in the net.

He’s the spitting image of Luongo.

Exclusive | OpenAI Employees Raised Alarms About Canada Shooting Suspect Months Ago The ChatGPT maker opted against informing Canadian authorities about Jesse Van Rootselaar’s descriptions of violence last June.

Absolutely wild. WSJ reporting that some OpenAI staffers thought the Tumbler Ridge shooter's use of ChatGPT raised the potential of real world violence but leadership decided not to alert RCMP. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

The fraud potential is bottomless.

Total aside here, but the quality of the voice and the fact that this (inane) conversation is taking place seamlessly with no pauses is some mind-blowing, futuristic, truly better than sci-fi shit.

I’d have to check if the PK got a change, but I don’t think they did.

And that’s why you leave PP#1 out on the ice for all 2 minutes.
