📢 SOME PERSONAL NEWS 📢
Just did some calculations and today I have officially had McDonald’s in 20 countries outside the US 🎉🎉
Thank you @Austria and @McDonalds for making this a reality
establishment democrats and republicans weren’t fearful he’d fail and ruin nyc. they were worried he’d succeed and represent the threat of a good alternative
This is a place where every day you wake up you could experience everything from a guy perfectly throwing a cone onto someone else’s head to a person who's celebrating a new business.
This should be the last time that America ever hosts a major international tournament - in any sport. The International Olympic committee should be watching very carefully for LA 2028
“the BILLIONAIRES will never find happiness from their money. the COLONIZERS will never find fullfilment from the land and lives they steal. the FACISTS will never find meaning from their conformity not in this lifetime and eternity..”
Ali Louis Bourzgui ignoring the typical acceptance speech format in lieu of giving us something substantial and powerful, especially on CBS, is one of the greatest moments in recent television history. #TonyAwards
Hasan Piker: “Every dollar spent on a bomb that Israel drops on a school is a dollar stolen from you because that’s a dollar that could’ve been used to build a school in your neighborhood. That’s your productive output used for the death machine to kill other people’s kids”
Good reminder that neither RFK nor anyone else in his cohort actually thinks elite higher education is bad. They think you are gullible enough to think they think that, however
Mamdani: My dream is not that we hold every bad landlord accountable. My dream is that we don’t have to. My dream is that every landlord is responsive to their tenants and that every landlord is following housing code. And I know that there are many landlords who are like that.
The issue, however, is that there are a number of bad landlords who have been able to operate with impunity, with no consequences for their actions. And part of what this housing plan puts forward is specifically funding to ensure that we can hold these kinds of landlords accountable, and especially the top 10 worst landlords in New York City, so that we can actually start to explore all of the tools we need to transfer ownership of those properties to people who will actually steward them safely, whether they’re a nonprofit, a community land trust, or the tenants themselves.
That is how we are looking at this because, frankly, this is the law, and for too long housing code has been treated like a suggestion, not a requirement.
If you turned on the TV in another country and saw the leader's daughter-in-law giving him a softball interview on a major "news" channel, you would rightfully assume that country is a tinpot dictatorship.
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
Students see no issue using AI to complete their assignment because they have been conditioned to treat schooling as a means to a capitalist end and not a tool for acquiring knowledge. The proliferation of AI is just making this very explicit for those who didn’t already know.

“At least 15 cases of sexual assaults, including rape. Shot with rubber bullets at close range. Tens of people’s bones broken,” organizers of the Global SumudFlotilla posted on the Telegram social media app.
“While the world’s eye is trained on the suffering of our participants, we cannot emphasize enough that this is a mere glimpse of the brutality Israel imposes daily on Palestinian hostages.”
every zionist cruelly mocking activists “go to gaza” “go to gaza” and when people try they get abducted in international waters then raped and tortured in tel aviv.
