A totally serious commitment and not at all extended in only one direction.

#SCOTUS all-but overruled a unanimous, 90-year-old precedent through an unexplained "administrative" stay this morning, and that's only the second-most-problematic thing it did before lunchtime.

Nothing sums up America under Republican rule like turning a place of history and strength into a strip mall food court.

Big Oil donates to his campaign...Trump hands out tax breaks and guts clean energy funding.

Fraudsters donate to his Super PAC...Trump hands out pardons.

Airlines donate to his inaugural fund...Trump cancels a rule requiring them to refund passengers.

Everything is for sale.

Britain's running on empty after years of neoliberalism and austerity - more tax cuts and more cuts in public spending would turn the UK into a ghost town. #r4today

The @nytimes.com ran a whole story about the murder of Venezuelan civilians on a ship as if it were a military matter and we were at war with Venezuela. It was a crime. The story never mentioned that Trump ordered a criminal act and the Navy followed an illegal order. This is a major event.

Under Dr. Oz, Medicare is launching a pilot program that will use AI to determine whether patients would be covered for certain procedures.

Companies running the program will be paid a share of the savings from rejecting claims.

Who in their right mind voted for this? No one.

This seems weirdly unsustainable at first, but it's OK because we're building a Dyson sphere around the solar system to host it.

The A.I.-Profits Drought and the Lessons of History Like the steam engine, electricity, and computers, generative artificial intelligence could take longer than expected to transform the economy.

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., β€œin its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.

Pentagon plans military deployment in Chicago as Trump eyes crackdown President Donald Trump said Chicago is his next likely target to crack down on urban crime. Military planning has been ongoing for weeks, officials say.

β€œFreedom is a fragile thing and it's never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation.”

Fair enough.

It can be great when the players understand the play and are clear to understand.

And it can be like nails on a chalkboard when they don't.
