Yep. Itβs amazing for the U.S. had decades of soft power and literally tossed it out the window.

If the weather gives you a day, thatβs typically when some of the flowering trees start in the Public Gardens. Offhand, end of April into May is my favourite time to visit.
If the weather doesnβt hold, Neptune Theatre any time of the year.

This is true but also fascinating from a science fiction standpoint because the fundamental problem with smart machines in military is that they donβt have loyalty and can be hacked/ manipulated into outcomes you donβt agree with.
Look at all the times they had to go back and βfixβ grok.
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

Saturday morning and our neighbour is starting a military conflict with Iran.
Hey Canada, weβre all in agreement to stay TF outta this, right?
βUsed stolen credentialsβ = phishing.
Also, the theft included βaccount numbers, account holderβs addresses, and tax identification numbersβ? Yikes!
Apparently Palantir doesn't want people to know that the Swiss government rejected Palantir. Their preference is that you do not circulate this information across your social networks.

The execs can try to put the breaks on so-called βwokeβ content, but they always forget: diverse, well constructed stories make $$$$. Itβs what a larger audience will pay for.
See: Sinners.
Does anyone know the relationship between WB, Bell Media and Crave?
Because if Bell Media can green light content production after this whole WB-Paramount deal and offer Crave access to U.S. customers they could make a killing.
