This is almost as bad as the infestation NYC saw in the 1970s, in which violence would often break out between the Baseball Furies and the Gramercy Riffs or you'd be caught in a rumble between the Lizzies and the Boppers. Terrifying times.

I too am struggling to understand why this would be a problem.

Schrodingers AI: Simultaneously some of the most valuable companies in human history yet too poor to pay their dues.

Good thing Musk and the DOGE Bros were on the scene.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

My Mexican grandmother put ground chilis—or something very spicy—in with each bulb. Not sure if it worked, but she claimed it did.

President Trump says some federal workers “don’t deserve” to get back pay when the government shutdown ends. That could have a big impact in the Denver Metro area where the Federal Center in Lakewood has the largest concentration of federal agencies outside of DC. #copolitics

Umm. That’s impossible. The Mar-a-Lago search was in August. Smith wasn’t appointed until November.

MAGA is freaking out & splintering over a leaked text chain—which TPUSA’s Andrew Kolvet says is real—where Kirk wrote “Just lost another Jewish donor…Jewish donors play into all the stereotypes. I cannot & will not be bullied like this. Leaving me no choice but to leave the pro Israel cause.” 1/

Gay Virginia Republican plagued by Nazi porn scandal brags running mate is ‘100% against’ marriage equality It's a statewide political ticket of extremes.

Banning “dangerous gain-of-function” pathogen research is actually just banning pathogen research. TB causes chronic disease, the supposed cornerstone of the MAHA movement. Hard to see ending TB research on treatments as anything but another targeted attack on science in service of destroying it.

The Civil-Military Crisis Is Here The leaders of the U.S. military may soon face a terrible decision.

From my brief, unschooled view of Texas law enforcement, I fear that the jeans ironed to a knife edge may be a giveaway in their undercover efforts.

Opinion | Six surgeons general: It’s our duty to warn the nation about RFK Jr. We took an oath to declare dangers when we found them. We’re doing that again today.

“Never before have we issued a joint public warning like this. But the profound, immediate and unprecedented threat that Kennedy’s policies and positions pose to the nation’s health cannot be ignored.”
