Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

Indeed, tactical success and strategic incompetence has been the US military's secret sauce for decades.

It’s extremely obvious that there was no particular imminent threat and the negotiations were a smokescreen to buy time until military assets got to the Gulf (the US conditions made that clear). US and Israel wanted to attack now so they did, that’s really all there is.

Sam Altman, about the US government: we believe the U.S. government is an institution that does its best to follow law and policy.

Paul asked us to wait to publish this until he was out of Cuba and safe from harm

Well, he’s safe from harm now forever, god love him

the incentives here are so obscenely terrible that the entire thing should be illegal by default

“I am sabotaging negotiations because I stand to make piles of money on Polymarket” is absolutely in play, what a horrifying clusterfuck

As a side effect, it also guarantees no human involved is able to tell their commanding officer "No, I will not do this"

Whether that results in an uninterrupted rape and murder spree or literally global thermonuclear annihilation.

The promise of OpenAI and Grok being used in war is that no human can be held accountable for the war crimes it commits, all the way up to where it sits on the chain of command.

The total abdication of any kind of accountability, any kind of "am I following an unjust order" moral hesitation, etc.

the war is unpopular but it's also illegal but it also doesn't serve any purpose but it also undermines diplomacy but it also is set to produce the opposite outcome as intended but it also already has hundreds dead and threatens more but it also will not make anything better for anyone but it also

Play paused during the 11th minute of Leeds United-Manchester City to allow Muslim players to break their fast for the holy month of Ramadan.

City starters Rayan Ait-Nouri, Omar Marmoush and Rayan Cherki did so amid boos and whistles from Leeds supporters.

the bombings will continue until peace improves

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

I can't doomscroll because my friend is over with her toddler and every few minutes the baby comes over to solemnly offer me a truck and then immediately repossess the truck. Very effective

It’s been terrifying to have almost every year in the past 20 years be a lesson in how many people with power make decisions about who lives and dies with little thought or care or even a clear idea as to why they’re doing anything, and it’s terrifying that it seems to be getting worse

Your opposition to war can just be that war is evil. it doesn’t have to be more complicated than that.

The Scent of Iranian Lavender The U.S. and Israel are gearing up for war with Iran while the Pentagon demands an AI company drop its "safeguards." Hmm. But yes: abuse the Defense Production Act!

The Pentagon’s ultimatum to Anthropic might signal an Iran war, enabled by AI for generating targets at scale, that looks more like Gaza than it does last June’s Twelve Days.

This is a really troubling conviction that could scare people from filming ICE in public and chill First Amendment rights.

Also, if the feds are actually concerned about its agents being doxxed, they’re complete morons:

I resent it more for my kids. They are in their twenties and will be dealing with the ramifications of all of this a lot longer than I will. I’m a cynic, I’m used to preparing for worst case scenarios. I was hoping they’d have it better. 😔

I haven't seen a single major news outlet observe that the US and Israeli-led war against Iran is occurring during the month of Ramadan.
