fun fact: the President used to work from the Jefferson Memorial

So much for my new craft whiskey...

Buster, a tan and white Australian Cattle dog mix, lies on a bed on a blue blanket. A number of other blankets are around him, as are dog toys & pieces of toys. He's looking at the camera with his right eye in almost the center of the image. He has a pink nose, & golden eyes that match the tan in his coat. Hey wearing a mostly blue collar. Some nondescript bedroom furnishings are in the background, along with a black fan.

Today is Buster's birthday. He's 5 big years old. 🥰 We're so happy to have him. #BusterP

“We put them in our agreement” means there are no restrictions in the underlying models, unlike Anthropic, and you’re relying on *checks notes* the Trump administration to hold to this. So. Yeah.

Other than deny Anthropic revenue, the Pentagon is *way* out over a ledge here and I am extremely skeptical SCOTUS is going to allow the DPA to be used to nationalize a civilian technology. This is all taking place in 2025, not 2024, and they're going to get crushed in the midterms.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NEVER ALLOW A RADICAL LEFT, WOKE COMPANY TO DICTATE HOW OUR GREAT MILITARY FIGHTS AND WINS WARS! That decision belongs to YOUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, and the tremendous leaders I appoint to run our Military. The Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE trying to STRONG-ARM the Department of War, and force them to obey their Terms of Service instead of our Constitution. Their selfishness is putting AMERICAN LIVES at risk, our Troops in danger, and our National Security in JEOPARDY. Therefore, I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology. We don’t need it, we don’t want it, and will not do business with them again! There will be a Six Month phase out period for Agencies like the Department of War who are using Anthropic’s products, at various levels. Anthropic better get their act together, and be helpful during this phase out period, or I will use the Full Power of the Presidency to make them comply, with major civil and criminal consequences to follow. WE will decide the fate of our Country — NOT some out-of-control, Radical Left AI company run by people who have no idea what the real World is all about. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This afternoon's crashout brought to you by a bunch of nerds with very weird ideas about whether code is something you should be nice to.

Trump wearing a fuckass USA hat. He looks like a joke, because he is.

It’s the least important thing, but I can’t believe our pedophile president just declared an illegal war at 3am in this fuckass hat.

if the media had any integrity — and it doesn’t anymore — they’d be pointing out on a loop that Obama made a deal with Iran, Trump cancelled it because Obama is Black, and then Trump started a war on the pretense there is no deal

Starmer has chaired a COBRA meeting in Whitehall.

(That’s an emergency committee where ministers and officials meet to co-ordinate the government's response to an emerging situation)

Trump’s unprovoked attack on Iran has no legal mandate and no clear objective US president violates UN charter just days into the Board of Peace era, and chooses to take the biggest gamble of his administration

Unleash chaos.

CNN is saying the Iranian attack happened after Trump “lost patience with negotiations”.

I don’t believe it. The negotiations were cover. This was always the plan. The scale of the military buildup showed that.

I miss the internet. I don't know what all this nonsense is but sure ain't the internet

Good job. 🙌

You can't depict "lewd or lascivious dancing"??!! Y'all know what time it is!!

This is unbelievably rich coming from the misogynistic chucklefucks who insist that a letter ascribed to Paul written to a specific church in Corinth about a specific and contextual instruction about congregational behavior during worship bans women from being clergy for all time.

Hey, #Toronto people! 👇

This is extremely a long shot but if there’s any niche community that will have the answer it’s bsky:

Does anyone know of an LA-based orthopedic surgeon with experience treating patients with hypermobility?
