let me get this straight

a team will not be playing in the FIFA World Cup because they are currently being bombed by the FIFA Peace Prize winner

Don’t share many non-sports related photographs but as soon as I laid my eyes on this one, I had to posts it. Red blood moon during last night’s lunar eclipse over New York.

[Rutger Bregman @rcbregman]

This is the most important thing happening in the world right now.

The administration wants killer drones + mass surveillance of Americans.

Anthropic refuses to build it. While most tech companies fall in line, they are prepared to pay the price for their principles.

Let me get this straight:

–Trump greenlit a Palantir “master database”

–8 new "mega‑detention centers" are being built

–CBP just bought access to Clearview’s 60B‑image facial ID system

–DHS is now demanding names of social media users critical of ICE

-ICE agents on our streets threatening to put people in a "domestic terrorist" database

And no one sees where this is going?

Prince Andrew's Arrest
Never in a million years did I fathom this when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018.

If a Prince can be held accountable, so can a President.

Yeah here's a list, Greg, of how you and OpenAI could 'do better':

- Stop donating $25 MILLION to MAGA Inc
- Stop powering ICE's resume screening tool
- Stop spending ten of millions on killing AI safety laws
- Stop intimidating and subpoenaing nonprofits pushing for AI accountability
- Stop pretending you're 'for humanity' while enabling authoritarianism

Basically just stop?

@PeteHegseth Haha, Hegseth you are a pitiful laughingstock. You'll regret messing with Kelly. Keep it up and you'll send him directly to the Oval Office.

Hey ⁦@DAGToddBlanche⁩, I saw the unredacted version of this email, and there is no reason it should be redacted from the public.

Unless, of course, you are trying to protect your master @realdonaldtrump.

I will never get over Elon Musk, after 25 years of lying about going to Mars, finally gets caught because of IPO due diligence, and his excuse to the public is: “Oh, we found out it’s farther than the moon.”

Epic inequality and extreme wealth are essentially the core problem we face today, in that it is the ultimate cause of every other crisis we're experiencing.

There's no other reporter who better knows the intersection between the US tech world & Russian intell than Pulitzer finalist @josephmenn, & yet inexplicably he was among those laid off this week. It's been my privilege to work with him. Read his latest: https://t.co/mM3zu7dTjQ
