The #Pacers couldn’t quite pull it off unfortunately (Giannis is Giannis), but it was entertaining and Pascal was solid as always!

Here’s Elon demoing his “flying” (without style) car for Peter.

Wow, Thiel really resembles a famous cartoon cowboy.

Someone will use AI to make a video “correcting” all the moon-landing-was-fake “proofs”, post it on TikTok, and claim that the conspiracy was the real conspiracy. Kardashian-sized brains will not know what to do.

Is anyone keeping a database of documented abuses committed by the Trump administration?

Reporters should prep for the next press conf. When Johnson lies & plays dumb about the latest affront to our Constitution, the reporter who asked the question should say, “That’s a surprise! Lucky for you I have a video clip explainer. Would everyone like to watch it now?” Then force him to answer.

Trump White House ballroom financed by Big Tech and these other corporate donors Big Tech and other publicly traded companies are helping to finance the $300 million White House ballroom planned by President Donald Trump.

Yes, it’s clear that destroying part of the White House and building a ballroom for the mad king is more important to these companies.

Colors from the Zissou1 palette of the R package, wesanderson

I love the {wesanderson} package and have built so many things using `wes_palette("Zissou1")` over the years!

YouTube video by Associated Press Trump on if he'd consider pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: 'I'll take a look at it'

He “played” dumb in a similar fashion a few weeks ago when they asked him about pardoning Ghislane Maxwell. What a corrupt lying clown!!

Absolutely wonderful from @vickiboykis.com - newsletter.vickiboykis.com/archive/i-wa...

A group of three men and a female (face redacted for privacy) is standing outdoors, surrounded by palm trees. They are holding a large check made out to "Jeffrey Epstein" for $225,000, signed by "Trump." Below the photo, there is a handwritten note from Trump pal Joel Pashcow, apparently bragging about engaging in sex trafficking with Epstein and Trump.

We should respond “yes sir, right away sir”, write him a novelty check for 1 billion dollars, promptly put him on trial, and—assuming the legal system still works at all—put him in prison for life.

At what point is it justified to stop paying federal taxes?

In the background, a crowd waves American flags. At the bottom is the tagline, “WE ain’t afraid of NO KINGS!”

YouTube video by Guardian News Elon Musk unveils plan for 'Tesla Bot' with man dancing in a bodysuit

If only Tesla Bot would have crashed through the kitchen wall at the end and started dancing... That would have made this video perfect 🤣

Looks great, can't wait to try Meta's live AI

The data.table package has an implementation of "grouping sets" from SQL that can do this efficiently:

My roommate and I (who share a fondness for The Simpsons, obviously) had a radio show in college, and had a "sing along" segment. It's The End of the World was our first, best, and only installment. We failed to attempt singing the verses 🤣.

The "chaos of Washington" is him. He's the (felonious) chaos.

They've already erased the deaths of >1M people in the US. And due to anti-vax lies, MAGA faithful made up a much larger proportion of those deaths than they should have. There's no lie they won't tell to line their own pockets.

Trump and Dump.

The Broligarchs get trumped up, the rest of us get dumped. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The Iran decision will be announced on TACO Tuesday

There are lots of good options! You could include it in the R package, or store it on Github, AWS S3 / Azure storage / GCP, HuggingFace, etc.

How big is the data?

Mo' MSFT mo' problems

And even if "AI" did "cure" cancer, half the US would be convinced it was a conspiracy created by Steve Ballmer's accountant's roommate from college's dog that was financing chemtrails that caused "birds" to traffic children in the basement of the Alamo's pizza parlor.

Microsoft has played a part. They pretended to embrace/extend R, but extinguished the efforts. Remember Revolution R, MRAN, or R integration for SQL Server? Positron (improved VS Code clone) has taken focus from RStudio (the greatest). R support in Azure/Databricks is almost non-existent.

Trump says the clock is ticking for 150 countries to make a deal or face higher tariffs | CNN Business If you thought President Donald Trump’s trade war was over, he has some news for you: Tariffs are going up again.

TBF, he is SO popular and such a STABLE GENIUS that "it’s not possible to meet the number of people that want to see us". So we shouldn't be surprised there are 0 actual deals. They probably wouldn't understand his terms anyway--his IQ is just too high!

Screenshot of email: Your Nixplay plan has changed this week. It is our pleasure and privilege to help you share your photos and videos with your loved ones, and we're excited for the new developments in our service that these changes will allow us to bring to you. You are now on our free Nixplay Basic plan. Your plan limits have changed. Below, you can see how your usage compares with your new plan limits: Description: Google albums New plan limit: 0 albums Over limit: 1 album(s)

Take comfort, fellow #Nixplay owners--it was their "pleasure and privilege" to enact this #enshittification demanding we pay for a feature that was free when we bought the device. I also love how they frame the allowed number of albums instead of saying they're removing the most important feature.
