James Uthmeier confident feds will ‘largely’ reimburse state for Alligator Alcatraz Taxpayers will 'get made whole when appropriate,' Uthmeier said, but he added that Florida can afford it until that happens.

Yeah, it's not like Trump has ever left contractors holding the bag before. Oh wait...

The image shows four great blue herons perched in a tree with nests. Three herons are standing on the branches, while one is flying above them. The birds have long necks and legs, with grayish-blue feathers. The background is a natural, rocky landscape.

Good morning. I have been hoping to share one of this series taken Friday morning for the #BirdOfTheDay and thank you Rob's @robcrank68.bsky.social for the theme #FourOrMore and the alt theme of #Blue.

#GreatBlueHerons. It was a magical morning spotting the nesting #GBH's.

If we manage to beat back the current fascist movement, lower level toadies like Patronis have to be driven out of public life and prosecuted for corruption when appropriate too.

Once again, the reason all of the awful & illegal things keep happening in 🇺🇸 politics, & have since at least Iran-Contra, is because there are never any actual legal, personal, or professional consequences for all of the awful & illegal things happening in 🇺🇸 politics.

Two photos. The first shows Catturd tweeting: Name one US inspired regime change that hasn't ended in absolute disaster The next tweet shows him posting an AI illustration of Khamenei turned into a pile of dust. It says "I'm eliminated."

Two tweets. The first shows Laura Loomer promoting her show, where she says "A message has been sent that we are not interested in going back to the way politics were prior to Donald Trump, prior to 2016. We don't want warhawks. We don't want any more Neocons. We want American First. Period. End of discussion." The next tweet says: Today is a great day. Our military is amazing. @PeteHegseth is an absolute killer. Now you see why the Deep State worked so hard against him. It’s great having a Sec War who has Infidel literally tattooed on his body. He actually gets it. God bless him.

Two tweets. The first shows Will Chamberlain tweeting: The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars. If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position. The next tweet shows him posting "Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead." The tweet has a USA flag attached.

Two tweets. The first shows Gunther Eagleman tweeting: "Warmonger Lindsey Graham just rushed to Fox to advocate for U.S. involvement as soon as he could. He is also pushing for a US-backed regime change in Iran. I would like to renominate Graham to get a one-way ticket to the frontlines of every war he wants America involved in." There's an attached video of Graham speaking. The next shows Eagleman tweeting: UST IN! President Trump is HARD AT WORK all weekend after the massive strikes on Iran! He’s already on the phone with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte! Trump is a machine!" There's an attached video of a news segment about the war in Iran.

A briefing would be nice, but that’s not the most important thing in front of us. I don’t need a briefing where Marco Rubio will gaslight us for an hour to know how I’ll vote on a War Powers Resolution.

“A powerful AI looking across billions of conversations from millions of people could gauge public sentiment, detect pockets of disloyalty forming, and stamp them out before they grow.”

Two lines Anthropic won’t cross — fully autonomous military targeting operations and surveillance of US citizens.

Trump this morning posts his reason for war with Iran.

In a just world, every bad faith git with a platform who called Trump an anti-war president would be driving DoorDash for the next ten years. It was always such transparently false bullshit.

Excerpt of 404 article: REST IN PEACE? A recently published paper from researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Leipzig University shows that generative AI is increasingly being used to puppeteer the likeness of dead people. The paper argues that the practice raises “urgent legal and ethical questions around posthumous appropriation, ownership, work, and control.” “Meta’s patent is big, and might even be a turning point,” Tom Divon, the lead author on Artificially alive: An exploration of AI resurrections and spectral labor modes in a postmortal society, told 404 Media.

The fact that Altman keeps referring to the DOD by the fake name the psychos who run it insist on using because they’re dick-swinging man-babies adds a surreal note.
