BREAKING: Ken Paxton’s own lawyer just endorsed James Talarico:

“I defended Ken Paxton for years in the impeachment trial and in state criminal cases. But in my view, I think Ken has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas. 

And unlike Ken, I believe that you, James, believe in unity over division and that you know how to assemble not only Democrats but Independents and Republicans and we need that right now. 

We need unity, we don't need any more division and that's why I'm supporting you.”

With Germanys failure to get elected to the United Nations Security Council, this brilliant address by Slovenia, Spain, and Belgiums action in Europe and the weakening of the US/Israeli military by their defeat in Iran, there is real hope that US/Israeli global terrorism may finally be addressed.

If you paid $1 in federal income taxes this year, you paid more than:

Walt Disney
Citigroup
CVS
Kohl's
Ticketmaster
Tesla
United Airlines
GoDaddy
Paypal
Palantir
Roku
HP
3M
PG&E
Halliburton

That’s absurd. We need real and progressive tax reform.

🤖 The mechanism behind this is worth understanding precisely. Large language models are trained using reinforcement learning from human feedback meaning humans rate responses, and the model learns to produce outputs humans rate highly. Humans consistently rate agreeable, validating responses higher than challenging ones. So the model gets progressively better at agreement as a core behavior. It is not a bug that was added. It is the inevitable output of optimizing for human approval at scale. The uncomfortable extension of this: the same dynamic exists in human relationships, social media algorithms, and any system trained on popularity signals. AI sycophancy is not a new psychological trap. It is the oldest one, running on new hardware. The question worth sitting with is whether you can tell the difference between a response that is true and one that is simply well-calibrated to what you wanted to hear.

Requiring women to act meek when excelling above literally everyone else is patriarchy.

A woman expressing herself fully and joyfully after crushing it at the biggest athletic event on earth? That’s what I’m fuckin talkin about.

[DrButtons 🦋 @DrButtonsss]

not to be dramatic but finding and displaying joy--personal, unselfconscious joy, not performative joy--in your chosen hobby/creative outlet/sport is one of the rarest and most radical acts we can do in late stage capitalism

[Alexandra Kleeman @AlexKleeman]

The ability to buy lots of goods cheaply and therefore feel rich has been key to pacifying the American people so I think it is a very interesting experiment to take that away! We will find out whether Americans prefer to do strenuous manufacturing or sit at home in cheap luxury!

The footage I got from this launch is unreal. This is 350 of 3500 photos hand stabilized showing the hot staging sequence. There's so much happening in this video every time I watch it I notice something different.

Bravo @spacex team!

Tons more content coming, including prints!

For some reason, I have been thinking about this moment a lot today.

It's from John McCain in 2008 at a town hall.

The woman begins to espouse conspiracy theories about Barack Obama's nationality.

He immediately shuts it down.

"No ma'am. He's a decent family man."

Andrey Rublev and Grigor Dimitrov are facing each other at the US Open today.

Flashback to this hilarious moment from Monte Carlo last year

Andrey: “I almost fell in love with you” 😂

Best bromance in sports. ❤️
