A bit that's 100% annoying but works 100% of the time is that if someone mentions "London," you ask "Ontario?" For whatever reason, it works even better when they are in fact talking about London, Ontario.

Gotta love when a @Newsweek hack rushes to get a “Caitlin Clark trade to Sparks rumor” piece out for engagement farming, and forgets to delete their AI chat prompts from the piece.

“Senate Republicans voted early this morning to add another $70 billion. They looked at the mass deportations, masked government thugs and semi-official government violence, court rebukes, and they thought: Yes, we’d like more of that, please.”

People have a depressingly reductive view of human personhood.

A human person isn't just the words they output. In fact, it's all the things that cause the words that really constitute a human life.

If a person says "my cat died last night", that sentence is almost certainly downstream of an actual physical event that happened in the actual physical world.

An LLM can output the same sentence, and if the AI companies cared enough, they could probably design an AI that was a million times more eloquent about it's non-existent dead cat, than any real cat owner could ever be about their real cat.

Nevertheless, in the case of the AI, there is no cat, and there never was a cat.

Human words are the shadow of a thing. If we look up from the shadows, there, we will see the thing.

AI words are just empty shadows. Devoid of any thing.

Nobody likes Pulte. Impeach him. He doesn’t satisfy requirements of job and he’s a risk to our security. This one is easy. Bipartisan support. Good for America.

Extremely wild clause in a bill House Republicans are set to vote on Tuesday.

It would eliminate funding by "any local education agency" to conduct school shooter drills for kids under 16 years old.

The President of the United States is asleep at his desk. Again.

Behind him stand seven grown adults in expensive suits, and not one of them is doing anything about it. One is mid-sentence. Another is gazing sideways with the haunted look of a man whose pension depends on never acknowledging what he can see in his peripheral vision.

The rest of the world is watching, and the rest of the world has noticed something. Americans are terrified of authority. That fear has settled over this administration like a fog, and it turns otherwise functional adults into warm furniture. Nobody moves. Nobody speaks. The paralysis is total.

In any European parliament, in any boardroom from Oslo to Ljubljana, someone would have leaned over by now. Tapped a shoulder. Said, quietly but clearly, that perhaps this isn’t the moment. Somebody would have done something, because the alternative, pretending a sleeping man is running a meeting, would have been too absurd to sustain.

Not here. Here, seven men have collectively decided that the correct professional response to the President losing consciousness in the Oval Office is to carry on as though he were a particularly demanding houseplant.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Wow.

Why this does not concern more Americans is so strange to me.

For the love of God, bring back fact-checkers. Bring back copy editors. Bring back public editors. Bring back standards. Everybody tighten TF up.

In appeals court fight over the White House ballroom, DOJ says the federal government could quickly bulldoze the statute of liberty and no one would have standing to sue over the changes once the demolition is done.

Being an American now is just waking up and being told how much more money the president and his billionaire buddies are stealing, then being expected to act like it’s a normal fucking day.

Isn’t it true that this order is illegal and so nothing has been stripped?

[American Oversight @weareoversight]

Trump just stripped job protections from 8,000 federal workers by reclassifying them as “Schedule F” employees. Now, they can be fired for disagreeing with Trump.

We’ve sued for records that could shed light on how Trump plans to implement this change.

20 percent of the world's most advanced semiconductors come from one island: Taiwan.
China wants that island. But it doesn't need to invade it.

For three months, while the entire world has watched the war in Iran, China has been sending fishing boats, coast guard ships, and cargo vessels into the waters around Taiwan. Not to fight. To patrol. To inspect. To stay a little longer each time.

No single day looks like an act of war. That is the entire strategy.

I spent the last month tracing the pattern. The full analysis:

Russia is considering lowering the countries working age to 12 and reopening Soviet works camps due to huge losses in the war in Ukraine.

Wow…
