π€·πΌ "Epstein had dinners with a top Florida prosecutor on his case"
"Menchel, who left the DOJ in 2007, had multiple meetings or dinners with Epstein in 2011, 2013 and 2017."
And, one of Epstein's lawyers was the prosecutor's EX-GIRLFRIEND! Which prosecutor Menchel never told anyone in his office.

I used rules based AI to do mission planning 25 years ago - Claude (or any other LLM ) wasnβt used for anything critical because neither Palantir or @anthropic can make them work reliably

Abolish all child cages + jails + prisons (so-called juvenile halls, camps, correctional facilities, detention centers, et al.)
They are an expensive stain on our community.
TikTok just started feeding me unsolicited oilfield recruitment videos.
I get it, Al Gorithm, Iβm underemployed.
It's incredibly corrosive to the ability of agencies (and society at large) to operate if the executive branch can simply decide to ignore Congress. Having reliable processes is essential to operations of bureaucracies, but Vought et al. don't care. And it's outrageous.

And MAGA is doing the training.

this is effectively doing what the Chinese did to the established auto industry in the 90s: condition market access on joint ventures. It's a remarkably logical way through the current impasse, just not one that is an obvious fit with Trump's politics.

It's very short. It just addresses some info that came out in court.
There's no overview. I know that's not very satisfying. I'd suggest you look at the thread and maybe look over the "Complaint."
You'll be able to get a sense of the legal arguments.
The details though, Gillian!
Peep the thread. #smh

This horrific story on cut government grants for the humanities comes out while the Atlantic is whining about the mellon foundation. almost like the author wants to incite more of this

This is an important piece because (finally!) it names at least 1 actual person - Michael McDonald - who signed off on the specific decision. The EOs are BS, but they are NOT law, and they are NOT self-enforcing.
Nothing in the EO required this. McDonald made this call as much as T himself did.
