China is expected to surpass the U.S. in total national R&D spending this year.
The new money is going into compute, domestic chips, and a national data-center network — the physical layer of the AI race.
In 15 months, U.S. states introduced more than 2,400 AI-related bills.
One side is building infrastructure. The other is multiplying rulebooks.
Quantum computing is coming to Virginia and @GeorgeMasonU is helping lead the way.
Our new partnership with TreQ will help advance Virginia’s continued successes. #MasonNation
"I want to tell Ukrainian children to never give up, keep moving forward, and never stop." — 10-year-old Ukrainian rhythmic gymnast Sasha Paskal.
Sasha lost her leg in a Russian missile attack on civilian infrastructure in the Odesa region in 2022, when she was just six years old. After surviving a 15-day medically induced coma and the amputation of her left leg, she returned to rhythmic gymnastics.
Today, Sasha is traveling across all five continents, using dance to tell the world about Ukraine's children and athletes, who continue to be targeted by Russia's war. Over the past two weeks, she has performed in Paris, New York's Times Square, Rio de Janeiro, Nairobi, and Tokyo.
The Razom team, together with @KaterynaLis and Hanna Lytychenko, interviewed Sasha and her mother, Maria, to share their story and raise awareness in support of Ukrainian children and Ukrainian sports.
@ClassicII_MrMac Jim's archives from this launch are at the Computer History Museum in San Jose. We were thrilled to discover the photos, personal notes, and launch plans after his death last year, and very excited to make them available.
A wonderful surprise to see Jim Gable “live” in 1997– creating something that still garners attention today. (RIP James Gable Jun 28, 1959-July 14, 2025)
So long, America🫡🇺🇸
49 days ago we landed in the USA to follow our country at the World Cup. We had no idea it would turn into the trip of a lifetime.
Thank you to everyone who followed along, and to all the people we met who made this journey even more special. We honestly don’t have the words to express how grateful we are for everything you did for us.
This trip exceeded every expectation we had. We came here with an open mind, wanting to experience as much of the country as possible. I still remember telling my friends on the flight to Atlanta that I hoped we’d get to meet a few locals on this trip. Now we’re flying home with friends all across the USA.
Before we came, we heard so many stereotypes and warnings about America. People told us about safety concerns, that they might check our social media at the border, and all kinds of other things. None of it matched our experience. This was probably the most welcoming country we’ve ever visited.
So if you have the chance to travel, do it. The world isn’t nearly as bad as the media often makes it seem. 99% of people are awesome!
I heard this quote somewhere during the World Cup, and I think it sums up our experience perfectly:
“If you want to hate the world, watch the news. If you want to love it, travel it.”
Thank you, America ❤️🇺🇸
The Senate ought to put Lindsey’s Russia sanctions bill on the floor, rename it the Lindsey Graham Russia Accountability Act, and pass it into law.
That would be a fitting legacy for a man who ferociously loved this country.
@auren Same with the association world. If you have never been responsible for implementation and ROI, it’s likely you can’t provide policies which can be cost effectively executed.
@USPS I am impressed with the new processes for changing my address and tracking my mail through multiple moves. Thanks to Jackie who provided excellent service today.
@AmericanAir BNA C21 Flight 5085 deserves a bonus. Despite the horrible situation with DC flight delays and cancellations she was communicative, cheerful, helpful and never left her post.
Thank you @jwmarriottnash for treating all the RGA members marvelously when our flights were cancelled. The day was tough but the nice views and treatment were superb
