we are not on a path to making ai that will take away our humanity.

we are on a path to making ai that governments and corporations could use to take away our humanity.

we should focus on the latter accordingly.

Congress needs to pass supplemental funding for Ukraine before they break for the Holiday recess.

Failing to do that risks giving Putin the greatest gift he could ever hope for and abandoning our global leadership.

This cannot wait.

removing hamas isn’t netanyahu’s only incentive to keep the war going

remember the legal drama he was facing before oct 7? no? exactly.

Republicans in Congress who refuse to pass a bill authorizing aid for Ukraine are assisting Putin in his long-running battle against the United States

God bless Norman Lear who gave America comedy and satire with warmth and hilarity. Norman was a champion of democracy and a kind and generous soul. A giant. May his memory be a blessing to all who had the privilege to know him.

Sorry, Mike. The First Amendment separates church and state by declaring, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion…”

Bryan Cranston on Trump:

"I've stopped worrying about Donald Trump's sanity. He's not sane. And the realization of his illness doesn't fill me with anger, but with profound sadness. What I now worry about is the sanity of anyone who can still support this deeply troubled man to lead our country."

Do you agree?

lloyd austin saying israel risks “strategic defeat” if palestinian civilians not protected: kind of a big deal

jake sullivan: “i believe that any member of congress who does not support funding for ukraine is voting for an outcome that will make it easier for putin to prevail.”

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

The Republican party will be responsible if Ukraine runs out of ammunition. Directly responsible.

The scale of what could be a catastrophic self-inflicted defeat for the US and its allies around the world is hard to comprehend

Liz Cheney warns that if Trump returns to the Oval Office he might try to stay in Office forever:

“There’s no question about it. He has already done it once…He was stopped thankfully…but he said he’ll do it again.”

Keeping 1.5C within reach is only possible if we improve the quantity & quality of financial flow.

@OECD confirmed contributors likely met the $100B goal. But this milestone is just the start.

Germany 🇩🇪 & Canada 🇨🇦 will push for strong ambition in the global financial system.

two months into the israel-gaza war and the vast majority of accounts promoted here have zero empathy for either jews or palestinians.

it’s one of the most anti-human environments i’ve ever experienced.

secy defense austin warns israel—america’s closest ally in the middle east—is heading to “strategic defeat” as palestinian civilians are devastated

venezuela threatening military action against guyana, with maduro holding a referendum today that will pass easily.

mostly bluster for a deeply unpopular dictator.

the direct border is impenetrable—militarily maduro would have to go through brazil.

and china, venezuela’s closest friend that matters, owns a piece of the massive oil find maduro claims.

so i’m deeply skeptical we are on the brink of war.

but tensions are heading up.

Who’s voting for Pierre Poilievre? I can tell you who isn’t.

Ukrainian Canadians

Quebec and French speaking Canadians

Indigenous people

LGBTQ and Trans people

Workers Unions

Climate Plan enthusiasts

And anyone else who doesn’t wear a tinfoil hat.

It looks like Trump can be held civilly liable for inciting the insurrection at the Capitol, according to a ruling by the D.C. Court of Appeals out today. We may yet get to see a jury hand down a verdict on whether Trump more likely than not incited the chaos that day.
