David Seymour has never actually worked a proper job. He doesn't know what it's like.

“I remember touching one of the sows in those crates. She was red and big with fourteen piglets tussling off to the side. She flinched. I could feel a strange sense of horror deep inside me, but I pushed it down. I rested my hand on her back and, for one brief moment, she

@JohnCleese Well, let's see the "report" in "reportedly" first, eh.

Idk who needs to hear this (apparently all of twitter) but OpenAI did not just magically get the DoD to agree to the terms Anthropic was asking for.

Sam is blowing smoke up your ass to distract from the fact OpenAI just took the terms Anthropic considered so egregious, it warranted jeopardizing an enormous part of their business.

The DoD does not just break off a massive contract to accept the same demands 5 minutes later from someone else. Until explicitly indicated otherwise, the only logical conclusion here is that OpenAI swooped in and unscrupulously stooped lower than Anthropic was willing to go for the money.

Assume all OpenAI data will now be used for what Anthropic deemed “mass domestic surveillance of Americans”. Plan and prompt accordingly.

The statement on the 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 attacks on Iran by #NZ Govt is a disgrace. The Govt knows full well that international law has been breached even though negotiations were under way. It knows that 🇺🇸 walked away from the last nuclear agreement with Iran. Why the servility?

[Ryan Sproull @RyanSproull]

Pop back on X and instead of the usual antisemitism, the theme of the day seems to be complaining about the Ardern government saving the lives of tens of thousands of NZers by choosing differently from the international consensus.

HOLY SHIT BETTER THAN I COULD HAVE IMAGINED!!!!!

One of those jaw-dropping moments when an anti Zionist Israeli learns that his home sits on the land of the Palestinian he’s interviewing..

Man, they've really gone full "Dear Leader is always right, don't believe your lying ears" over in the US.

[Karoline Leavitt @PressSec]

No he didn’t, Libby. His written remarks referred to Greenland as a “piece of ice” because that’s what it is.

You’re the only one mixing anything up here.

So you’re saying almost 10% come true

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Congress released a cache of documents this week that were recently turned over by Epstein’s estate. Among them: more than 2,300 email threads that the convicted sex offender either sent or received between 2008 and 2019. https://t.co/FficFXF2gu

@DisneyPlus I've subscribed since you launched. Bye.

@RichardHanania Refreshingly sane post in a generally crazy time.

Here is why starving children is fine, here is why targeting journalists is fine, here is why destroying hospitals is fine, here is why destroying every house in Gaza is fine, here is why shooting people in line for food is fine. Do you hear yourselves? Are you fucking serious?

The media wants you to think this is a competitive race

[Ryan Sproull @RyanSproull]

@Dame__Jane She and her team managed covid well (practically no dead citizens compared to the rest of the world) and the economy (again compared globally), but otherwise dropped the ball. Her decision not to support cannabis decriminalisation in the referendum was very disappointing.

[Shaiel Ben-Ephraim @academic_la]

Jewish friend here. We are fine. We sit in our houses, with our family, eating every meal and in many cases whining endlessly about minor cases of antisemitism. We are privileged and happy: you know who isn’t ok? The people of Gaza who are burying their family, lost their homes and are starving to death.
