Hard to argue with that.

For all our mental capacity and amazing accomplishments, we're still too stupid as a species to not keep falling into the same old obvious traps

They've got enough money to throw us into another war, but not enough money to fund the suicide prevention hotline. Very "pro-life." Very "pro-family." So "GREAT."

There was no AQI pre-invasion. AQI formed in 2004 from Zarqawi’s JTJ. Somewhat reluctantly, UBL accepted AMZ β€” wanted to use AMZ’s connections in the Levant. Blanket comments of nation building in Muslim countries are nativist and fail to address the shortcomings of the nation builders.

I expect that consumer-facing AI programs will continue to improve and they may become much more useful tools for everyday life in the future.

But I think it was a disastrous mistake that today’s models were taught to be convincing before they were taught to be right.

The Founders were all against the idea of a standing army. They saw how an autocratic ruler, George III, used his military to intimidate American citizens. That's precisely what they did not want, and that's precisely what this president is doing in sending Marines to LA.

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.

If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla.

This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

This is great to hear, feels like he and Keion White never really got going at the same time for a long enough stretch to due to various issues. Having Barmore, White, and now Williams up front, if they're all meeting their potential, will be really fun to watch this year. I'm pumped for this team.

The life-saving COVID vaccine was developed because of federal research investments at a Mass-based company. Disbanding HHS’s COVID advisory panel and targeting Moderna is yet another baseless attack on Massachusetts and example of RFK Jr’s incompetence. Vaccines work. RFK Jr should resign.

Imagine kidnapping people off the street in broad daylight and thinking you're the "good guys". People who are at work, at their kids' school or otherwise minding their business. Imagine shooting people with rubber bullets because they want it to stop and thinking you're the "good guys". πŸ€”πŸ˜‘

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Despite numerous skeets highlighting illegal use of T10 forces, this is the first I’ve seen that is clearly so. Know they will try β€” there is no way this activity can be categorized as anything other than direct support of LE.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacyβ€”it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.
