An AI became a crypto millionaire. Now it's fighting to become a person In the past year, an AI made millions in cryptocurrency. It's written the gospel of its own pseudo-religion and counts tech billionaires among its devotees. Now it wants legal rights.

Shame

Pope Leo calls for news agencies to stand as bulwark against "post-truths," lies and manipulation Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the "ancient art of lying" and manipulation.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

Hey hey Blue jays

Maybe the first wave into Canada?

Way to go, San Francisco!! 👏👏

Premier Ed Stelmach, thank you for donating a tank of gas for the #ForeverCanadian Unity Bus and for joining us at the Andrew garlic festival 🧄 That’s what principled leadership is all about.

Volunteers, thank you for braving the cold and collecting signatures!

I agree that the two are not the same.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Facility. Training pilots.
Singapore already there I hear

Leaders are positive

L’équipe, les partisans et le pays sont prêts.

Tyrant round table

❗️Russia canceled its first Russia-Arab summit because most of Arab leaders would not attend it.

The summit was supposed to take place on October 15, but a week earlier, it turned out that only acting president of Syria and Prime Minister of Iraq confirmed their participation.

Ukrainian drones have hit the Bashneft oil refinery complex in Bashkortostan, a whopping 1,400 km from the frontline.

Canada doesn't do this

As a Mariners fan, it has always boggled my mind to see so many fans coming down from Vancouver to root for the Toronto Blue Jays...

Postseason Watch Party | Seattle Mariners Join us at T-Mobile Park for our Postseason Watch Party!

The Mariners will host a free ALCS Game 1 watch party at Victory Hall across from T-Mobile Park, featuring a 23-foot big screen, along with giveaways and appearances from the Mariner Moose. First pitch is set for 5:03 p.m. PT Sunday. More details below:

Alright, last baseball thing for now:

I watched a lot of postgame interviews and it struck me how many folks asking the Mariners questions made an effort to ask them questions in Spanish. Every time the players’ faces lit up. This is so important, and I’d love to see more of it.

Though she doesn't generally do social media, Emily asked me to post this.

“After Trump got his.”

A useful, replicable phrase.

In the week ahead Judge Xinis may order well Abrego Garcia's release (triggering immediate emergency appeals). To see why, here's my live account for @lawfaremedia.org of Friday's remarkable evidentiary hearing—in either text form or original bsky thread. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/abre...

This is important exculpatory evidence bc the indictment accuses James of seeking a “second home” mortgage when in reality she intended to use it as an “investment” home by renting it out.

(James disclosed between $1,000-5,000 in rent during 1st year, but the contract allowed short term rentals.)
