A tweet from Charlie Spierling showing Trump hobnobbing in his beach club before starting a war of choice.

Reminder that Trump stopped into a $1M a plate fundraiser before starting a war that got American service members killed.

Oh god. Is *this* why GOP is OK with murdering school children & U.S. troops? To get Dems to fund DHS?

Note to Dave: Trump has gutted the entire natsec apparatus, the FBI, DNI, and no one will share Intel with us. Funding DHS does NOTHING but feed the mass deportation-for-profit machine.

I spent a bunch of time arguing that, based on available evidence, the Trump White House has no long-term plan for the Iran war, no answer for what happens next. Sen. Lindsey Graham confirms that, except I meant it as a criticism, and he, bafflingly, means it as a defense.

Hooo boy. There we go. It was about domestic surveillance after all.

I know that everyone here hates the “Donald Trump started a war and jacked up your gas prices” messaging but “Donald Trump started a war and jacked up your gas prices” is likely the single thing about this nightmare that will most affect the day to day lives of a lot of people in the US

Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

Anakin and Padme meme: Safety is our first priority Higher than LOS, right? ... Higher than LOS, right?

Me talking to the city engineer about the new Vision Zero plan.

I want this sent in a flyer that says “Why the 25 mph speed limit? Here is why. SLOW DOWN” with every registration renewal mailing.

I am reminded that a startling number of people believe that if you’re a member of the military and you don’t like something your government did, you can just throw up your hands and quit the next day like any other job.

It Does Not Work That Way

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

Ban the fucking polymarkets. Betting on death. Betting on war while Incentivizing death and war. Shaping foreign/domestic policy by rewarding the rich people already in the know and encouraging them to make decisions that destroy the world while padding their pockets. Burn it down.

Years ago at the height of pandemic shutdowns I wrote a book about supply chains and why they break.

I'm not going to make any projections about what comes next but, obviously, if this war drags on, it means more inflation.

‘I Just Stood Up’: The Stunning Arrest Of Aliya Rahman At The State Of The Union Rahman, who was Rep. Ilhan Omar’s guest, suspects she was targeted after testifying to Congress about her brutal ICE detention in Minneapolis.

NEW, from me: I talked to Aliya Rahman, who was dragged out of Tuesday's State of the Union + arrested for... standing up.

Really.

Rahman, who is autistic and has disabilities, was a guest of Rep. Ilhan Omar + was previously brutally detained by ICE in Minneapolis. www.huffpost.com/entry/aliya-...

Whoever made this, it’s BRILLIANT.

Trump’s “Board of Peace.”

These children died for Trump's greed and literally nothing else

Trump does unpopular thing in direct violation of a campaign promise, part #976348
It’s not a mystery why his approval rating is 37% and Dems are leading by 10 on the generic ballot in our latest poll. Break enough promises and people start to notice

In the past, sometimes presidents have said it’s just a military operation or limited airstrikes to skirt Congress. Trump has unilaterally launched major combat operations, declaring war with the goal of regime change. A major violation of the U.S. Constitution, also illegal under international law

Florida just cut off HIV meds for 16,000 people.

Someone should edit these portraits to do a sort of Animorphs thing with them

OpenAI posted the terms of the deal. Reveals that it absolutely does allow for domestic surveillance. EO 12333 is how the NSA hides its domestic surveillance by capturing communications by tapping into lines *outside the US* even if it contains info from/on US persons.

User Chris: What was the core difference why you think the DoW accepted OpenAI but not Anthropic Sam Altman: I can't speak for them, but to speculate with the best understanding of the situation. *First, I saw reporting that they were extremely close on a deal, and for much of the time both sides really wanted to reach one. I have seen what happens in tense negotiations when things get stressed and deteriorate super fast, and I could believe that was a large part of what happened here. *We believe in a layered approach to safety--building a safety stack, deploying FDEs and having our safety and alignment researcher involved, deploying via cloud, working directly with the DoW. Anthropic seemed more focused on specific prohibitions in the contract, rather than citing applicable laws, which we felt comfortable with. We feel that it it's very important to build safe system, and although documents are also important, I'd clearly rather rely on technical safeguards if I only had to pick one. *We and the DoW got comfortable with the contractual language, but I can understand other people would have a different opinion here. *I think Anthropic may have wanted more operational control than we did

I saw some folks asking what the difference was between what OpenAI signed with the DoD and what Anthropic said they wanted, and Sam more or less admits here the key point: OpenAI's deal requires them to trust the NSA. Anthropic's contract had real safeguards.

Is this what the Bible meant by "peace, peace" amidst sudden destruction

True. I think for a time the "hate" was light enough that that idea came into place forgetting how bad it can get for some- but I've seen the severity and deep rot of the hate on X now. That's not the type of thing that's brushing off a dumb comment, it's the real deep cutting hard R type stuff.
