YouTube video by ModernLanguageAssoc Justin Fox Deposition (Part 3) in MLA-ACLS-AHA Lawsuit about the NEH

It's stunning how ignorant the DOGE bros were who were sent into agencies. Justin Fox cannot even articulate in his own words what his "present understanding of DEI" is: he can't even formulate a coherent sentence about it. I wouldn't hire him for basic tech support. #NEH

U.S. Tomahawk Hit Naval Base Beside Iranian School, Video Shows

US Tomahawk Hit Naval Base Beside Iranian Girls School, @bellingcat.com’s video shows.

On Saturday, Trump claimed Iran was responsible for striking the school & killing 175 people, most of them children. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/08/w... so if Trump said🇮🇷 did it, Hegseth can’t blame Anthropic, right?

The Times has independently interviewed 35 former employees, whose accounts trace a pattern of physical punishment Mr. Redzepi inflicted on his staff. Between 2009 and 2017, they said, he punched employees in the face, jabbed them with kitchen implements and slammed them against walls. They described lasting trauma from layers of psychological abuse, including intimidation, body shaming and public ridicule. Mr. Redzepi, they said, threatened to use his influence to get them blacklisted from restaurants around the world, to have their families deported, or to get their wives fired from their jobs at other businesses.

Punching, Slamming, Screaming: for 20+ years, René Redzepi inflicted physical & psychological violence on Noma’s team—-including 100+ unpaid interns per year, working 16 hour days!

“being hit was routine.”

Are you at Scale in Pasadena? Come by the @civic.band booth in the expo hall & say hi & check out the magic.

Now that this was leaked, Trump & Hegseth will soon be publicly blaming Anthropic..:which must mean the DoD must have uninstalled Claude & are now using OpenAI & Grok.

I had understood that he was himself driving—& it was his personal vehicle, rather than the city’s. But I definitely could be wrong & that would make it even more wtaf..

Wouldn’t it be awesome if we instead made laws to protect humans from machines that profit from harming them, especially by giving fraudulent legal advice?

Also: I’m on team Don’t Believe the Hype—but intelligence doesn’t protect folks from being fooled by AI’s certainty &/or sycophancy….

Maybe I’m missing something? But wouldn’t LAPD run his license plate before pulling him over?

Which suggests they’re pulling him over BECAUSE they know/in spite of knowing who he is?

Seems like cops pretending not to know who he is would be even more wtf & threatening? And not only “pretextual”?

This is important & I don't want my response to get buried as a comment. Humans make mistakes under pressure. But umans can & should also be held accountable for them when they go beyond simple correctable errors & create catastrophic results like war crimes. 1/

Apparently Trump & Hegseth thought they could snap their fingers/post on social media & DoD would replace Anthropic with OpenAI & um Grok instantly.🫠

But once the DoD is no longer using Anthropic, I’d expect Trump & Hegseth to (self-incriminatingly) blame war crimes on them bsky.app/profile/dear...

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

So there is a story about the "top 10 cities at risk during nuclear war" circulating in various tabloids/etc. with my name attached to it, and I will say that a) I never have (nor would) make such a list at all, and b) I never said any of the quotes attributed to me in the article.

SpaceX: the final frontier of IPOs Can Elon Musk’s moonshot deliver the mooted $1.75tn valuation?

SpaceX probably has revenues of less than $20bn and loses money after the merger with xAI, but is targeting a $1.75 TRILLION IPO.

So Alphaville got two experts to go through how Musk will probably try to pull off what could be the biggest bagholder operation in history. www.ft.com/content/5bf1...
