MAGA Is Raging Over the Epstein Files. But They're Not Mad at Donald Trump Trump supporters are angry at the lack of arrests after the latest Epstein file dump, but have targeted their ire at Kash Patel, Pam Bondi, and Steve Bannon rather than the president.

SAM ALTMAN: “People talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model … But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart.”

If it's the SOTU, then Trump made a statement about denying gender affirming care.

Key points from the Clinical Practice article "Secondary Prevention after Ischemic Stroke"

The risk of recurrent ischemic stroke can be reduced by managing modifiable risk factors and instituting a regimen of mechanism-specific secondary stroke prevention. Strategies for secondary prevention should be instituted as early as possible. Learn more: nej.md/3OFpJ2C

The Department of Defense is reportedly offering Anthropic an ultimatum: let us use your technology for whatever we want, or else. No company should be forced to be a tool of civil liberties violations.

Lol. Forget it. Can’t please everyone.

For what?

Florida’s proposed cuts to AIDS drug program threaten patient care and public health Scaling back Florida’s AIDS Drug Assistance Program could mean a resurgence of HIV/AIDS and increased health care costs throughout the state.

Florida is considering deep cuts to its AIDS Drug Assistance Program, which helps more than 31,000 low-income residents with HIV afford medication.

Doctors warn that losing coverage could mean more infections, worse health outcomes and preventable deaths.

Take care of yourselves.

The rot on the inside is leaking out

SOTU or a Nuremberg rally

Sounds crass but Bondi, Leavitt etc. are definitely being used and abused by Trump. Not that they’ll get sympathy from me, but seems like they’re in a quid pro quo for favors with Trump

Only means he’s going to continue doing it

Silicon Valley fascists have so enshittified the Internet that people are returning to media the oligarchs can't put behind a subscription gate

They were always going to do this. Next is policing.

Two women stand close together in a vertical composition, shown against a vivid background with flowering plants. One woman holds a bronze lamp while the other holds a pink lotus blossom. Their bodies are arranged in a paired, balanced way that emphasizes relationship and shared action rather than individual portrait identity. The women with the lotus appears to be slightly kneeling and has her left arm extended and reaching through the nook of the other woman's right arm. They wear traditional South Asian clothing and ornaments, with attention to contour, color, and decorative detail . The scene reads as both intimate and ceremonial. The women are not in motion across a landscape, but gathered within a shallow space that centers their gestures and the objects in their hands. The overall effect is calm, devotional, and domestic at once for an image of women’s presence, care, and preparation. The lamp and lotus together strongly suggest a ritual or worship context, and the pairing of the women invites a reading of intergenerational teaching, companionship, or shared devotion. Rather than presenting a dramatic public event, the painting possibly honors a quieter moment of preparation or one often associated with women’s labor, spirituality, and cultural continuity. The floral setting deepens that sense of auspiciousness and beauty, echoing the lotus as a symbol often linked with purity, offering, and sacred attention. Because the artist is not identified, the work also stands as a reminder of how many images of women’s lives in South Asia survive with limited attribution, even when their visual storytelling remains vivid. Here, the emotional center is not individual fame but a shared act of two women holding light and bloom, possibly poised at the threshold of worship.
